Dressing Up for Dinner
At Town & Country, "How Jackie Kennedy Is Responsible for the End of Restaurant Dress Codes" (via Maggie's Farm).
While we were out to eat last night I saw a group of three at the next table, and the dude — who had like a 1980s "new romantic" haircut (or early 1990s grunge cut), with those ear-stretcher plug-expander thingies on his earlobes — was kicking all the way back, placing his feet on the vacant chair straight across from him.
The first thing I thought was how my dad would have freaked out if he ever saw me do anything like at that at a restaurant, much less at home. He'd have rapped me over my knuckles with the back of his dinner knife!

LeBron James Puts Arm Around Duchess of Cambridge, Breaks Royal Protocol
At Telegraph UK, "Kate's reaction to LeBron James' royal protocol error" (VIDEO).
And the Los Angeles Times, "What did LeBron James do wrong while posing with the royal couple?"

People don't get it's not OK for LeBron James to slide his hand down Kate's waist not b/c she's a princess, but b/c she's a woman #feminism

Would it be OK for #LeBron to get all feely on another woman who didn't invite it, but Kate should suck it up because she's royal? WTF?

#LeBron doing *this* is not OK, not because Kate's a princess, but because she's a woman. #feminism pic.twitter.com/Pct1sY9kJY
