As part of David Cameron’s efforts not to appear as the leader of the party of the posh, the Prime Minister is rarely seen in black tie. Last night’s Black & White Ball was no exception, with guests told to dress in ‘winter cool’ for the lavish Grosvenor House bash.
Mr S isn’t sure what ‘winter cool’ looks like but judging from the number of scantily clad women in attendance it doesn’t involve very much material. While Cameron opted for a lounge suit, one man who definitely stood out in his smart attire was Peter Stringfellow. During an interview on the Daily Politics, the 74-year-old strip club owner defended his decision to wear black tie to the ball.
‘There’s two ways we can look at this, one way I made a statement or I just didn’t read the invite. I was the only one out of 1500 people but I looked fantastic, did you see the photograph in the Daily Mail today? I’m so handsome with that black tie, and my wife’s beautiful too.’
