Ok, I'll bite if it's an arctic cruise. But have any of you women who
think a tuxedo looks so great on your mate ever worn one in warmer
climates. The infernal things are downright stiffening! When you go on
a tropical cruise and are a bit sunburned or a lot sunburned something
that will let the heat out is more desirable. Yes, I've heard of
sunblock. I have fair Irish skin, sunblock doesn't offer much
protection. Women can wear something with an open neckline, short
sleeves or no sleeves at all and a hemline that is shorter than floor
length. There's lots of ventilation there.
Ladies, after a day in the sun, do the Marlene Dietrich thing and wear a
tuxedo...see how you like it.
