Are there any universally liked actors/actresses?
Jeez! Arnie ahead of Liz Taylor! He was in some real clunkers early on. Predator (a very good little science-fiction story) was the first Arnie movie I could stand to watch all the way through. I'm still waiting for The Return of the Son of the Cousin of the Mother-in-Law of The Predator...- Orsini

A stupid question about ties
Glad to have been of assistance. "The Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing" (http://www.amazon.com/Indispensable-Guide-Classic-Mens-Clothing/dp/0966184718/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245571780&sr=1-10) is not bad considering it was written by two gentlemen who are not actually...- Orsini

Tuxedo Rental
Just a few trips to the rental shop avoided, and you break even. And once you have your own black tie rig, you are sure to find excuses to wear it. Here's a trick: you and your date get all gussied up in evening semi-formal/black tie and go to a nice restaurant. They will think you are... -

Tuxedo Rental
Wing collar is still OK for evening semi-formal/black tie but it is just too fiddly for me. Unfortunately, it has picked up some baggage from the abuses of the rental shops. That might be good for Halloween. Thank you kindly. This is really an excellent source. The gentleman who writes it is... -

Tuxedo Rental

Tuxedo Rental
There is nothing wrong with purchasing your own evening semi-formal/black tie rig for your wedding. It is the big day and your bride-to-be, as the others have noted, is going to spend a lot for an outfit that will be worn once and handed down to your daughter. No reason why your outfit cannot be... -

Defending your Hat
You got away with it and that makes it right. You don't want to hit anybody with your hands and you don't want to leave any marks. Hip throw. "Gee, he fell..."
