That just sounds like a recipe for panic attacks. While it's lovely to think of all the glamour, attention, and energy, the reality of being scrutinized and on display even amid 300 guests is somewhat terrifying.<br />Thanks for sharing these great tidbits- I love when an author clearly does their research!Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-5171218527355560082014-08-26T22:48:13.740-04:002014-08-26T22:48:13.740-04:00I can hardly keep my eyes open after 10pm, let alo...I can hardly keep my eyes open after 10pm, let alone eat dinner at 3am.

Hopefully I'd have some good friends or a sister to share it with and help me pick out and reel in a good mate ;) MonicaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059381106713282439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-82781477787485609062014-08-26T15:48:50.905-04:002014-08-26T15:48:50.905-04:00I love the idea of dressing up and attending vario...I love the idea of dressing up and attending various social gatherings but I think I would be exhausted by the end of it. Although back then you didn't have all the distractions of today so I have to say that I would be please to have such distractions from the every day goings on.bookrockgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886249641168051652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-20331234635482429702014-08-26T15:40:40.397-04:002014-08-26T15:40:40.397-04:00As fun as getting all gussied up and dancing to da...As fun as getting all gussied up and dancing to dawn sounds, doing it for nearly nightly for four month, plus teas and other outings just sounds too exhausting.

It would be great for people watching at least and I would get into that part.<br /><br />Enjoyable post, Kelly.
