5 things about Official Functions

1. Ensure you have a trustworthy friend in the office to remind you to change out of your Birkinstocks into your pretty shoes.

2. One does not swig from a water bottle while at the 'high table'; one sips demurely from a glass.

3. When talking to the media, don't have a long name (like van Wensveen), or you may be quoted as 'Madam Monica' (or in some cases, 'Madam Minica' - I'm adopting it as my stage name).

4. Reading glasses are handy for reading speaking notes.

5. This, people, is a 'lapel'. It's found on suit jackets. That blingy thing is my lapel pin - pretty cool!
