Her outfits are beautiful. Everybody dresses like a slob today. Comfort is the only consideration. Appearance is an afterthought.

People should be comfortable but we have gotten to wear pajamas and sweart pants are outdoor wear these days.

I can fully understand her desire to embrace the beauty and sophistication of the past that no longer exists.

I am so old, I remember when everybody at Las Vegas dressed up, with men in sport coats and ties, while women wore dresses and gowns and heels.

Today it is nothing but shorts and sandals. There is absolutely no taste or sophistication from Vegas visitors anymore. It is strictly maximum comfort and ease of use.

I am not a fan of modern life. We have lost far more than we have gained.

I have some Las Vegas stories like that. I went out to a nice dinner with my wife. We hit the casino afterwards and I was wearing a jacket and tie. People were much more respectful and polite with me. The other side was I was playing craps and this guy from I believe Boston based on his accent was betting big. He was in sweat pants and a sweat shirt.

In the end she is just hired help.

“I am so old, I remember when everybody at Las Vegas dressed up, with men in sport coats and ties, while women wore dresses and gowns and heels.”

Like James Bond escorting Diana Rigg. Cruise ship attire nowadays is awful and not just on Carnival.

Hope this lovely lady finds someone who shares her passion for the propriety of an earlier time.
