needing a medical certificate to avoid taking them titties out at your first presentation at court (debutante ball) is wild but also uh. not unexpected for a party where the entire purpose is to catch a man's eye.

#and dont give me that oh its an entry into society crap #like yeah sure it is but the MAIN REASON is to get a husband #debutante ball #i read somewhere that coming out/deb balls/presentation at court were started by queen elzabeth i #because convents werent a thing anymore in england since the split with the catholic church #so if u had a bunch of daughters and couldnt afford dowries or if ur daughters werent attractive enough to get a guy u were shit out of luc #hence: deb balls

In Search of Bonnie Brae

As I have been searching out the history of Richard Harvey Wright, I’ve been amazed at the number of people who have shared their memories of this incredible house. In its time of glory, it was a true masterpiece. Initially, owned by Richard Harvey Wright, upon his death in 1929, he entrusted his sister Mary, known affectionally as Nannie, with his estate. Richard’s nephew and his wife Claudia…

By Marcos Fizzotti It’s very well known that today’s society is still plagued by lots of past traditions. Certainly, one of the most ridiculous and pointless one is the good ole debutante party. Unfortunately, my family digs this sort of thing, and here I am, in this big ballroom at some godforsaken place somewhere in Texas, one of the many family plots, as they so proudly brag about. Thanks to…

From Catastrophe to Success!

On the night of my debutante ball, Richard Nixon, who was Vice President, and his wife, Pat, came over early with their two adolescent daughters, Julie and Tricia. They wanted to see the tent and the decorations before the extraordinary debutante party my parents gave for me at Underoak, our beautiful estate. Walter Sharon, the florist, was there, too, working on the flowers. Ridgewells Caterers…

I am of the opinion that if Cale were to ever realize how much his kids think of him as their parent, he would absolutely speedrun therapy and you cannot change my mind

#cale henituse #lout of the count’s family #lotcf #trash of the counts family #totcf #my communication issues are actually causing these children harm??? #YEET #deruth and violan would ask him if he wants to introduce them to the high society scene #and if they say yes they will be decked in gold turtles #if not then oh well #organizer: how grand do you want this debutante ball? #cale: yes #theyre his kids they deserve the best #tcf #lcf #tcf cale #lcf cale

This TLT character should have been at the club, that TLT character should have been at the club...

These people are feudal nobility who practice semi-arranged marriages in their early 20s. Abigail Pent, who at age 17 dumped her boyfriend at a ball and then spent a decade in higher education honestly doesn't get enough credit.

#the locked tomb #tlt #abigail pent #magnus quinn #Given her age it's quite possible this was a debutante ball of some kind #IE when people are presented to high society as eligible for marriage
