Family Gatherings - An Avatar Competition

It's event time again folks, and this time that means exactly what you don't want it to mean...
It means dinner with your folks.

If you've done my last two competitions then you're familiar with what's going to happen this event. There are two categories. Making a Good Impression and I think my Grandmother passed out.
They're pretty self explanatory, but I'm going to break it down a little further just in case.

Category One
"Making a good impression". So the idea with this category is that I want you to pretend that you're meeting my grandparents for the first time... and it's for christmas dinner. I want you to look nervous, but also well presented, and charming. Make them like you.
(Points for prettiness)

Category Two
"I think my Grandmother passed out". This one is the end of the night, you met my family, everything went well, and then you did SOMETHING that scared granny half to death. What was it?
(Points for humour/narrative)

FAQ

What do I win?
- Old CIs. I have a whole drawer full of CIs I deliberately purchased doubles (or triples) of.

Can I use the DAC?
Hells yeah you can. I remember back when I'd only had my account a year and only donated once, so my inventory was tiny. DAC saved my butt back then and it can save yours if you so choose (or even if you need that ONE item that you just can't find)

How long do I have to enter?
Entries close when the event finishes.

How do I enter?
Just post an image of your avatar (hosted offsite so that it stays put), and tell me which category it's for. It's less likely to be ambiguous minus the monster aspect of last event but this really tripped my judging up last time so I'm putting it in.

Feel free to hang out in here too if you would like.

Making a Good Impression:

It takes a couple of hours, but I get the "no make-up" make-up down pat. And the outfit is juuust right- Not too casual, not too stiff, and just the right amount of festive. Outfit? Check. Thoughtful gift? Check. Deep breath, big smile... Its showtime!

"I think my grandmother passed out."

Dinner starts off wonderfully. I laugh at your grandfather's outdated jokes, and I nod sympathetically at your grandmother's complaints about her arthritis and bad hip. Everything is golden until halfway through the main dish. Its delicious, but its given me terrible gas! I try to excuse myself to the bathroom, but your grandparents are firm believers in good old fashioned manners. They insist I stay seated until dinner is over!

I manage to hold everything in through seconds and thirds. The meal finally ends, but before I can sneak away, your grandmother asks me to help clear the table! There's no way I can refuse, but as soon as I pick up the first dirty dish...

Your grandmother is mortified! Ladies don't fart! Especially not at the dining table! She faints dead away, and I escape to the bathroom in shame.
