It was into this exclusive, fine dining setting, where the rich and famous luxuriated over other worldly repasts, that I, a high school dropout from Appalachia, first stuck her toe into the high society pool.  And not only did I make a splash (with what was a societal cannon ball entry), I was nearly whistled at by the lifeguard and told to go back to the kiddie pool!
