Fuck me with a white glove

I didn't know they still had debutante balls. But according to this review, 'every year, at galas like the Magnolia Debutante Ball and the Rhododendron Royal Brigade of Guards, young women from the finest families don white dresses and long white gloves and make their debut to society. If you're not on the Rhododendron Royal Brigade's invite list, you can settle for reading Debutante: Rites and Regalia of American Debdom, the newest offering by Karal Ann Marling, grande dame of American Studies.' The goddam Rhododendron Royal Brigade of Guards!? Who the fuck are they? Is this a put-on?
