[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that's the impression I am getting! Anything elegant must also have a WASPY derivation or cost tons of money, apparently (according to the other thread).

I find these threads entertaining in part because they bear no resemblance to my life. I do not sit around debating if things are tacky. If someone invites me to a bridal shower, I may decline because I find showers insanely boring, but not because I am judging the bride. If someone invites me to a third baby shower I will happily go celebrate (although I dislike baby showers too). I love potlucks, pizza parties, etc. We regularly host people for low-key latke parties. Friends bring dessert and wine and we make the latkes. We've never had anyone decline on grounds of tackiness, nor comment on the fact that the house smells like oil for days afterwards. I really don't understand this obsession with etiquette. As long as people are not outright rude or cruel, they should do what they want, when they want, with whom they want. And if someone doesn't want to participate, they're free not to do so.[/quote]

Amen. THis is how to have a full life people - not striving to be someone else. [/quote]
