Where does one wear a slipper to? I have to admit that they seem very effeminate to me (no offense to you that own and wear them, I just would never be caught dead in them). Is this a social-class issue? I ask because I'm truly curious. I've attended several black tie affairs (mostly military in nature, I'll admit), but never attended anything that was "white-tie". What sort of event these days would constitute white-tie? Even the presidential inaugural ball is black tie, if I'm correct. Don't mean to change the subject or highjack the thread...if I've done that, I'll apologize in advance...but I think that my question is on-topic??
