Tonight at 8:30p on CBS’s Ghosts, we meet Trevor’s (Asher Grodman) brother, Jeremy (Jon Glaser), who comes for a stay at Woodstone Manor. Trevor is so excited to see his brother for the first time in 25 years. However, his younger bro quickly wears out his welcome with Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar). So now they are trying to figure out a way to get rid of him. But Trevor won’t let them.
Will Jeremy wind up staying like Pete’s (Richie Moriarty) wife Carol (Caroline Aaron), who died there on Halloween and became a ghost?
And that brings me to them. Pete tells Thor (Devan Chandler Long) and Sass (Román Zaragoza) that he is thinking of getting back with his wife, who cheated on him when he was alive. What will the Viking and the Native American do to test her?
You will have to tune in for another hilarious and sweet episode—an episode that proves that family, you can’t live with them, and you can’t die to get away from them.
The other day on The Kelly Clarkson Show, an audience member asked what was the strangest fan interaction she, Carol Burnett, and Kristen Wiig ever had.
Clarkson started it off and said it was when she was going to the bathroom. The host was doing #2, and someone slowly slipped a piece of paper and a pen underneath the stall. What did she do? She signed it.
What made this even creepier was that the woman never said a word to her. How shitty is that?
Burnett also had an experience like that. However, in her case, it was a little girl who stuck her head under the stall and asked, “Are you Carol Burnett?” What could she do but say yes?
Would you ever ask a celebrity for their autograph when they were on the porcelain Gd?
From the people who brought us Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey comes Bambi: The Reckoning.
We follow Xana (Roxanne McKee) and her son Benji (Tom Mulheron) who find themselves in a car wreck and soon hunted down by the vicious killing machine, Bambi.
Bambi will destroy anyone in its path!
For some reason, this movie seems more believable than Winnie-the-Pooh because Bambi looks real. Well, realer than Winnie did in that film.
And because of that, I am willing to give it a try.
Oh, and I hope Bambi gets its revenge on the man who killed its mom. You know, that is what was happening at the beginning of the teaser.
You’ve likely heard the expression that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed, and it’s undoubtedly true. It’s much less embarrassing to walk into a venue wearing slightly more formal clothes than your peers than it is to walk into a venue wearing casual clotheswhen everyone else is in a suit.
But is it possible to be overdressed to the point of social faux pas?
The Case for Overdressing
There is a case to be made that it’s not possible to overdress, and that dressing at a formality level above what’s expected can actually be a good thing.
Here are some points of reasoning to justify that:
Formality assurance. For starters, overdressing is a way of practically guaranteeing that you’re following the minimum expected level of formality. If you’re not sure exactly what smart casual means, wearing a suit is a great insurance policy to ensure you’re exceeding expectations. This can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable in your environment as well.
Respect and admiration. The better you dress, the more respect and admiration you’re likely to earn from others. If you’re the one who’s best dressed in the room, you might have an easier time networking and making new connections – with a great first impression as well.
Confidence and self-esteem. It shouldn’t surprise you to learn that your style and fashion choices canimpact your confidence and self-esteem. If you know you look good with higher-formality attire and feel confident wearing these items, you’ll demonstrate that confidence in your actions. At this point, overdressing isn’t about how other people feel; it’s about how you feel.
Standing out. Overdressing is also a tactful technique to use if you want to stand out a bit. If you separate yourself from everyone else by dressing slightly better than them, you could get more positive attention.
The Case Against Overdressing
Of course, there’s also a case to be made that overdressing can be problematic in some circumstances.
For example:
Stealing attention. Some people argue that overdressing is a way of stealing attention. You’re artificially drawing attention to yourself by dressing well above the expected level, and this can cause wrinkles for some of the social dynamics at this event.
Ignoring the dress code. If the event organizers have set a dress code, it’s a good idea to take that dress code seriously. If you dress at a level far beyond the recommendation, people could perceive it as a way of flagrantly ignoring the dress code. To some people, it may even seem like an act of disrespect toward the event organizers – though this is still far more respectful than underdressing.
Embarrassing others. Dressing more formally than others could make other people feel as if they’re underdressed, even if they aren’t from a literal perspective. That said, the bigger the event is, the less this is a problem – and it’s not necessarily your responsibility to make other people feel comfortable in their clothes.
Standing out. We mentioned standing out in the case for overdressing, but standing out can also be a bad thing. If you’re celebrating a particular person or if this is the type of event where you’re expected to blend in, standing out due to overdressing can be problematic.
General Guidelines for Success
There are two dissenting opinions here, and both of them have valid foundational reasoning. That makes this a difficult space to navigate. Still, there are some general guidelines you can follow for success:
Read the dress code. Ifthere’s an official dress code in place, read it and try to follow it. There’s nothing wrong with being slightly above the target level of formality, but don’t jump more than half a level at a time.
Ask others. If you want to make sure you dress at a similar level as everyone else, ask other people going to the event what they’re going to wear. You don’t have to copy them exactly, but if you get a feel for the types of outfits you’re going to see, you can make a much more appropriate decision.
Feel confident. If you’re torn between outfit choices, lean toward the one that makes you feel more confident. If you feel good about what you’re wearing, the opinions of others shouldn’t affect you.
Err on the side of caution. There’s nothing wrong with erring on the side of caution; in other words, in an ambiguous situation, overdressing slightly is clearly the best option.
So what’s the bottom line here? Is it really possible to be overdressed? The answer is yes and no. There are occasions when overdressing can steal attention, embarrass others, and ignore the wishes of event organizers.
But for the most part, thoughtfully overdressing is rarely perceived as disrespectful or harmful to the event.
