A "Klosterman"-type Question

A question, although one of the ones not asked by Chuck Klosterman:

Let's assume you're holding a fancy dress ball. The cream of society is going to be there. This is a black-tie and maybe tails affair. Leaders from politics, society, great authors, the wealthiest people, humanitarians, the ne plus ultra of American society will be there.

Your best friend -- a male -- has begged for an invitation. Let's furthermore assume (since this is a thought exercise based on extremes) that you're sort of obligated to give him an invitation.

The problem is that there will be no person there more out of place than your friend. As for dress...well, the less said the better. He is unshaven, wears a STAR WARS hat, some sort of obscure T-shirt with mustard stains, wears shorts when he doesn't have the legs for it, sandals with socks, etc. etc. Even if you give him instructions on how to dress, he'll get it wrong. This is the guy who shows up in the neon blue tuxedo with the wide lapels to the weddings. Hell, if you told him that the party was shoes only, he'd probably show up with just one shoe. I haven't even mentioned the body odor....

However, this isn't his only problem. His deportment is...well, it leaves a lot to be desired. He will pick his nose during conversations. Sometimes, he's thoughtlessly rude. Other times, he'll go on and on about some boring subject that no one cares about. Or he'll make some faux pas, or forget the end of a promising story, etc. He's the person you don't want to be stuck talking to.

Naturally, your thought is that disaster can only ensue. However, a helpful wizard comes by and gives you one of two choices:

The first choice is that he will repair the appearance problem. With a wave of his hand, your pal will at least look like Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan. Immaculately tailored and dressed. Clean-shaven. The best in fashion. Clean, and with a pleasant smell. It doesn't solve the horrible personality problems, but he doesn't look out of place. He might even be able to pass as an eccentric.

The second choice is that will repair the deportment problem. Your friend will not blurt out his thoughts on Asian women to Mrs. Wang. His conversations will not only have a structure, they will have a point. His stories will be spellbinding...but he'll still look like garbage. People will have a good time talking to him, if they're not immediately repelled by him and avoid him.

The question: Which of the two choices do you make?
