TQ2 hosted its first annual toga party tonight, and it was by all accounts a robust success. (Apparently, however, as compared to the toga party heyday of 25 years ago, the trend for swhapping people with the flat sides of plastic swords has become de rigeur. Oh well. Gladiators will be gladiators, I suppose.)
The dancers were absolutely adorable in their little toga outfits... although the "no-underwear-under-the-toga" rule wasn't adhered to very well, which I can sadly confirm after I personally performed several spot checks. Still though, there were some girls who understood the spirit of the toga party, so my spot checks weren't a complete waste of my time.
Most folks showed up in their own togas, which was funny. If you are in America and you see a bunch of people walking around in bedsheets, they are either on their way to a toga party or a klan meeting, but either way, you pretty much understand. Thai people, of course, have no clue. A group of farangs parading down Walking Street in togas? Those are white monks (which is a very odd thing indeed) as far as Thai people are concerned.

are they planning to make this a weekly, monthly or just annual event?
No idea actually. I didn't ask. I think it was a one-shot thing to see how it would turn out, and then make a decision from there.
Turns out it is going to be the last Wednesday of every month.
Sounds great, see you next month.
and thanks for the MT info!
