Yes, if you are inappropriate you will probably be "humiliated for
dressing a little on the trashy side" .

However, there are events that trashy is appropriate.

We all know what is appropriate, some just chose not to be such and
that is why they get shunned.

Welcome to the reality of getting along with people.

>Or will I be humiliated for dressing a little on the trashy side?

It depends! A lot of it depends on your age and size and how well
you present in your chosen outfits. A lot of it also depends on
where the activity is and under what circumstances.

The bottom line is to be considerate of the others when in
mainstream public venues.

If your outfit is a bit on the trashy side but still usual and
customary for a woman of your age and size to wear to whatever
you're going to, you should be fine. If you're at a mainstream
public activity and your outfit is not age or size appropriate,
you'll be called aside and told to go change.

A good example of what's not appropriate is when a large 50 year
old tries to dress as a 20 year old hottie. The look simply does
not work, attracts a lot of the wrong kind of attention to the
group, and generates complaints.

The final schedule will indicate what types of dress will and will
not be appropriate for which activities. There are several for
which trashy and flashy are indeed appropriate. There are some,
such as Theater Night and the Limo Tour, where flashy is fine,
but trashy is not. Those marked "this is a mainstream activity"
are those for which age-inappropriate and size-inappropriate
outfits are not allowed.

A good overview of our behavior, dress, and restroom guidelines
is on line at:

About half way down the page is an outline of exactly what you
can expect and what is expected of you.

I just thought that this reply was funny and had to put in my 2 cents
lol

I think the post is very informative and I agree with what is being
said.

The reason I thought it was funny is because the original person who
posted this message was asking specifically what was appropriate for
Sarona's party not the general DLV dress code lol.

I respect the DLV dress guidelines but I am to understand that anything
goes for Sarona's party because it is a private event. I'll be taking a
supportive role myself at this get-together.

That's not the way I read it.

>>I was looking at the pics from 2008 and I see maybe 2 girls that

There was no type private party of that type in 2008 that appears
on the follow-up pages, so I took it to be a general query into
the DLV situation in general. Perhaps the OP can clarify?

All the answers were great and very specific, I did kind of blend two
things into one (my bad).

I think the party is more my style and don't want anybody to be put in a
bad situation because of how I dress. I've been all over town in Vegas
and have had nothing but smiles. Some tourists have even asked to have
pics taken with me. Enough of that though, I get the rules and the
point.

Thanks all for the help and clarification. The whole thing is an awesome
idea, too bad places like Zingers had to close down. It was a good
melting pot of all types and ranges. Great message board as well!!

Thanks for having this forum!!

Hmmmmm, can we make this an event, say in a hotel room where I get
water balloons thrown at me, cuffed, forced to be tied up in the room
while you all go and have fun? LOL!!! Sorry, humiliation turns me on.

I'll shut up now.

The event that was being discussed is the same event that Sarona called
"the little girl get together" that occurred in 2006.

Sarona was not in town in 2007 and did not have the event that year.

In 2008, Sarona attempted to organize the event a second time a bit late
in the game and nobody showed up.

you can see from the subject line it says "dlvdisc Re: appropriate dress
(was Re: Tuesday night private get together)"

I was merely expressing my amusement.

your posting is well written and well thought out and obviously well
intentioned.

the person was asking what was appropriate to wear at Sarona's get
together. I'm sure(giving her the benefit of the doubt) that she knew
that it would not be appropriate at the other DLV events. From the
slightly misguided comments such as "Grand Mama look", I could tell that
she is aware of the guidelines and probably does not agree with them.
The fact that she asked, should show that she respects the guidelines.

I only thought it was funny because the way I read it, I interpret her
as asking specifically about Sarona's event and it spurred another
discussion about general dress guidelines.

I know that dress has been a sore subject every year and understand how
the topic could end up going in that direction.
