With formals, as with peek-a-boo, the fun is in both seeing and being seen. We want to show off our fine feathers and see how everyone else looks. Formal attire brings out the best and the worst in fashion sense: like the Oscars, even the most boring formal can be enlivened by fashion disasters...
...leave. "Your lovely wife is right down the hall, and that's where you need to go," she said. "What I need is you," he countered, telling her that she was getting him excited. He put his hands on the waistband of his shorts, as if offering a peek. "I could take you right here, right now," he said.
