color blind tricks o'the trade?!
yeah it's an interesting place! It's a veeeery specific "executive lost on a desert island for a few weeks" look that you either completely fall into line with or remain the outsider. Not that I'm an exec or anything close. But they're the only ones even slightly dressed as if they thought...- mike

color blind tricks o'the trade?!
Thanks! that sounds like a great idea. I switch off between casual and more dressed up, but I'm hyper sensitive about what people at work will think of me. So I find generally opting for more casual is still severely overdressed for southern california professionals lol And yup bulldogs...- mike

color blind tricks o'the trade?!
thanks! yeeeah it's quite the fix-me-up house... behind that wallpaper is awful 70's wood paneling. when I moved in, the landlord said they could pull up the carpet and put in wood floors that they were getting from another place they owned but long story short, it never happened. But it's a...- mike

Wild Boys of the Road!
I have got to say, I'm really enjoying all these William Wellman films TCM are showing. I am really amazed at the sheer quantity of films he worked on in such a short window of time during the pre-code era. Aside from "Wild Boys of the Road" (which might have some wheels turning for a dvd...- mike

Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?
We're not talkin cigarettes, when they mean it, they mean it! lol that's a great story! I hope one day to go but can't manage it not right now sadly. Maybe I'll be able to time it around when they finally open up the hall of records underneath the sphinx's paw! I shake my fist at Zahi for... -
color blind tricks o'the trade?!
I can see colors, just my world is a lot less vibrant than yours ;) A guy I work with actually can't see any colors at all! He's not allowed to drive and it really is a problem for him! For me though, I recently bought a pair of ralph lauren green herringbone tweed pants and I love them...- mike

color blind tricks o'the trade?!
Is anyone here color blind and figured out any tricks to dress without wondering all day if you look foolish or not for your color combinations? I've been wearing browns and greens for the first time ever, i was always leaned more towards black/gray/blue and a maybe one more color playing it...- mike

Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?
I can't believe how many people here have been to Egypt! I've always wanted to go but had the understanding that the world climate would make traveling to the middle east for a westerner very questionable now. I've also wanted very badly to visit ancient Sumerian and Bablyonian cities and... -

Does a tweed cap make someone below 35 look too old?
By the way, I wear caps to work and it is probably too much, but I really like them and don't wear them while working. I would not wear a fedora or a double breasted suit to work as it would be really pushing it. I want to leave my job if and when on my own terms and not someone elses :) Man... -
Does a tweed cap make someone below 35 look too old?
I've run into this issue multiple times. Virtually any comment from someone at work should be taken as a sign that you better dumb down your professional look. It's awful, but true! I've literally been taken aside at one of my previous jobs and told by my supervisor that the boss of the... -
Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?
my dad offers terrific flight experiences in a WW2 era C-47 that actually flew in the D-Day invasion and you get assigned the name of someone who actually flew in that plane on D-day ze'vebsite And if you click on the video, that's my dad's voice, and yes, he used to work in radio ;)- mike

What do you look like?
whooooa they are GREAT! What terrific noses!! What are their names? How old? Do you have problems with them fighting? When me and my ex split up, she took Lulu & I kept Dr. Gogol, which was somewhat a good thing because as he got older, they just wound up fighting more and more! Meanwhile...- mike

What do you look like?
It's one of my dad's favorite movies! So as a treat, when they came to visit LA I got a tour of the house from a guy who is a historian/park ranger there! my pop was thrilled! Apparently they also set up a large water tank there for Tora! Tora! Tora! So he was really having a grand ol'time...- mike

If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...
My mom's dad used to say when my mom just started dating my dad that he looked like William Powell, and I think it still holds true... I've been told I resemble him too (William Powell that is, obviously I resemble my pop!) Also I've been told I look like Adolph Menjou.. I'm mustache-less...- mike

What do you look like?
Yoooou bet it's for real! It's in Malibu Creek State park north west of Los Angeles only about 1/2 an hour! It's not publicly advertised there as the actual house, but it absolutely is it! The entire area was where the studios would go to shoot exteriors with wide open spaces. Some Elvis...- mike
