How not to use social media Is anyone else enjoying the whole Amy's Baking Company/Kitchen Nightmare fiasco like I am? Not that I support some of behaviour towards them, such as posting fake Yelp threats or the sending of the death threats Amy and Samy claim to be getting, but the rest is pure, trainwreck-y delight.

I have been invited to, of all places, a cigar bar. I have no idea what to wear (aside from "clothes I'm okay with dry cleaning instantly after"). Is it formal? Clubby? Velvet? Flannel? The context is low-key celebration but not sure where this ranks in the "how acceptable are sneakers in this situation" scale, so to speak.
