What ho, what ho, what ho, guests all!

Back home, I was a writer of sorts, and upon occasion I turned my talents to the aid of my Aunt Dahlia for her magazine, writing fashion tips and the like. Yes, I am the author of "What the Well-Dressed Man is Wearing This Season." And, since the season has changed, I thought to try my hand at it again.

[Text]

Now that the winter season is upon us, it is time to bundle up warmly, but this is no reason to set fashion aside. On the contrary, the layers and textures of winter clothes allow for great opportunities to display one's haute designs. Aubergine is the colour of the season this year, so you cannot go wrong adding an aubergine hat to your ensemble, or a fine wool aubergine scarf. For the more daring, try a Drazi purple sash. To keep warm on the chilly nights, consider a Creeper-inspired green parka, or, for a sleeker look, a Centauri military-style overcoat. Under all circumstances, do not wear white.

Uh... not really. I dunno.

[He's trying to imagine it, but he's not doing a very good job.]

Why does it matter so much where you're from, anyway?

[what_ho_jeeves]

It's important because...

[This question is too philosophical for him to answer properly, but he's going to give it his best.]

...people--I don't know who, perhaps Parliament, they decide all the important things--have unofficially declared that it is important. Also, it's important because Jeeves lets out the most terrible quiet groans, akin to a tortured sheep on a distant field, when he sees an ill-dressed man. My valet, Jeeves, is an expert at the art of finding the proper attire for donning.

Not so sure he'd like it much where I'm from, then. Most people just wear whatever they can find that keeps them protected. The White Glove Society cares a lot about what they wear, though. They all wear suits and masks and carry canes around.

[He supposes people do dress a little better on the Strip in general, but it still isn't likely that it would be up to Bertie's standards. People on the Strip know that they're safe, though. You don't really need to wear armour in the casinos.]

Masks? Like a fancy dress party? All the time?

Or like, whatsits, the Opera Ghost in evening dress and a full face mask to hide his hideously disfigured features?

[thumbsdown]

They're full masks. Can't see their faces. They think the masks make them look mysterious, but a lot of people are just creeped out by them.

[what_ho_jeeves]

Perhaps they are all hideously disfigured yet artistic souls.

Or they could all be twins of the king. [He frowns in thought.] But that would be a dashed large number of twins.

[thumbsdown]

Guess I can't say for sure that they're not. Never saw behind the masks. Not sure I wanna try to, either.

[He wonders if they'd politely ask him to stop first, or if they'd go straight to beating him to death with their canes.]
