Here at www.hollywood2020.blogs.com we're always happy when we get invited to celebrity and special events....by Joyce Schwarz blogging at www.hollywood2020.blogs.com.
Pix that goes with the Steinway Tux announcement...
They start their invite to the upcoming event by saying-- what do you get a reknowned conductor who has everything? Steinway & Sons Black Tie has the answer. And then the invite goes on to promo the new Tuxedos that Steinway and R/G Black Tie are teaming up to produce....now the actual press event we're invited to?? Hmm we don't see anything about that. And no RSVP...just an [email protected]. 
Well, guess we're not going to get a free TUX?
Blogger does congratulate Steinway for some really innovative licensing here...what do you think of licensing and merchandising the classic Steinway name? We're always interested in our readers thoughts?
