A Special Thank You

A Special Thank You

I wanted to send a special thank you to everyone who attended the Winn Perry and Duchess grand opening event on Friday the 10th. It was a pleasure to see so many well dressed individuals in one place. Also, thank you to the Pete Krebs Trio for performing at the event. The music was fantastic.

Third, thank you to A. Gustav Bayer for his magnificent presentation on The Minutiae of Black Tie Ettiquette. I believe I can speak for everyone present in saying that we were hanging on his every word as he showed us how to dress for a black tie event starting at his "bare essentials". Mr. Bayer’s booklet of black tie can be seen at Winn Perry. If you would like to obtain a copy of the booklet, you may do so by contacting jordan@winnperry.com.

Last, our good friend Lord Whimsy has given a wonderful recap of the event with great pictures of many of the fine folk whom attended the event.

Thank you so much to Whimsy for his participation in the event. He was quite gracious in performing a reading from his guide The Affected Provincial’s Companion Vol. 1. The full reading may be viewed here or by clicking the "Grand Opening Event" link on the left of the Winn Perry homepage.
