Dress Code
May 9, 2008 by ucbvsa2008reunion
Dear Abby,
While I can’t wait to attend the 25 year reunion banquet, I am also very anxious about what to wear. What kind of attire will make my old flame regret for dumping me while signaling to my new flame that I am still hot hot hot?
Flameless
Dear Flameless,
At your age, I would recommend cover yourself up as much as possible and leave room for their imagination. I hear that there’s good wine served at your party, and you know a little bit of wine can do wonder to one’s imagination.
Here are my specific suggestions:
- If you’re a girl: At least a nice dress or áo dài, if you can still fit in it.
- If you’re a guy: At least dress up business casual, so both your flames can be proud of you.
- Dress to Impress. Bleu Ginger’s elegant atmosphere is the perfect setting for photo op with both flames, if you can stand the excitement. (and I read that there will be professional/paparazzi taking pictures for Báo Tàu Magazine)
- Best if you can wear Blue & Gold, the color of the California Golden Bears. Absolutely NO Reds! Don’t want to give your rival Stanford any free promo.
Good luck. Remember to write & tell me how things go.

Dear Abby,
I’ve read someone said “Ao Dai”. That’s a very good idea! I am thinking about that too. (If Bao Tau takes pictures, that will be a very beaultiful image/symbol.) If there are more and more people show up w/ Ao Dai, I’ll too. However, my Ao Dai is in dark RED (mau ruou chat)!!! Sorry! That doesn’t mean that I’m from Stanford. I will always be Bear Cal member!!! So, can I wear that Ao Dai in red color???
Lady in Red
================================
Dear Lady in Red,
If you wear Áo Dài, you can come in any color you like, because Áo Dài looks gorgeous in all colors, shapes and forms. Don’t you agree with me?

Dear Abby,
I’ve written to you for sooooo long, yet you have never replied to me. Somehow, Ban Mua Việc now has a fast track pass to you. I’m very jealous! I actually like this new Abby better than the old boring one. This new Abby seems more gentle-man-ly, more Vietnames-ee, more je ne sais quois….more Cal-Bear-y, and more bi-sexual …yes, that’s it! Someday, I just might write my question(s) again, maybe….or maybe not.
Indecisive
==================================
Dear Indecisive,
I’ve received all your letters but did not respond because you neglected to include the password gobears. That would have given you top priority. Please write again, because I no longer have your letters in my possession. I have sent all the juicy ones to Chủ Nhiệm Báo Tàu.

Dear Abby,
Gee, I don’t know what to say ! First I was rejected for the MC job…da no’i buo^`n 5 phu’t ! Then second I thought you were.. were upset with me ….for…. printing “unauthorized” (khong xin phe’p) pictures on Bao’ Tau`. (Te^. qua’ ). Now you ask me my opinion about “Ao Dai`”…???
ok ..ok… here it is…
I think it would satified your requirement about “cover yourself as much as possible”.
I think many ladies will wear a’o da`i of different colors and styles since you said they look “gorgeous” !
And the men too, they are talking about having a men “a’o dai`” competition, Within a few hours today, three applied.
I am sure there are more…

Dear Abby,
I brought my sons to the post-event picnic. My 11-year old son overheard someone at the picnic said that each one of us had a nick name when we were in school. He asked me what was mine?
What should I tell him? Should I tell him that I was such a nobody that not worthy to be christened with one? That would be somewhat a lie or should I tell him the truth? Then, he would want to know what does it mean? Then what the in the world will I tell him?
Please help.
bần thần & bối rối,
