"Formal" Events

A slight peeve of mine is when I see so called "formal" events on TV, and no one is wearing gloves. Movies seem to be really bad about this. Guys dressed to the nines, tuxes and tails, and women in just dresses. I'd like to see more gloved women.

I guess gloves aren't in vogue any more so the movies tend to portray current styles. But it's disappointing, gloves are so elegant, and feminine, and not to mention sexy.

Retro movies are only the ones that seem to go glove crazy.

Maybe we can start a grassroots movement to encourage women to start wearing gloves again ;)...

Glove Etiquette

Doing some research on gloves, I found a discrepancy, in "etiquette." This really only applies to weddings, but I've seen two different stances on whether it's appropriate to wear gloves in the receiving line or not.

I would think that wearing gloves should be an "often as possible" kind of thing. Gloves are not only fashion, but protect the hand, as well as cover it up. Would be a shame to have not done your nails and then take your gloves off for the receiving line where everyone gets to see your hand. Plus wouldn't it be nice to give all the gloves fans a nice tease by keeping them on. :)

Anyone have an opinion on this subject?

Gloves Movie

Ok, so it's been a few day since I wrote anything here. Sorry...

Another movie that's a good glove movie is Titanic. Now I won't say it's a great movie, I didn't like it all that much. However, I love seeing Kate Winslet in gloves. Yum!
