    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    I was going to address your points more, and also attempt to prove further what I was saying, but honestly after reading this I'm done here. This is suppose to be a place that is suppose to be talking about the Golden Age and the lovers of the style talking about it. Sorry I thought this was the...

    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    I've made this point multiple times and will continue to, people in the fashion world and those who seek to become "fashionable" are hardly the stalwarts of style. To tell me that "fashion designers" of today aren't emulating Grant is about as relevant as claiming that modern weapons designers...

    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    I'd suggest he has a fashionable look that works for him. To suggest though that seventy years in the future their will be people writing about the clothing choices of Mr. Depp the same way people have written about the likes of Cary Grant, or Fred Astaire, is folly. In the long run I believe...

    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    If he dressed like he did in Public Enemies I'd say he had an amazing sense of style. Wearing eight random pieces of clothing together and pretending you don't care what people think is not the definition of style. If fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every...

    Ghost stories please..

    I'm not a believer in ghosts myself either, but if there was such a thing as ghosts I could see them being in places like Gettysburg. Even if their aren't any ghost there people's lives still have left such an echo that it is felt to this day even by us skeptics.

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    I was born in 85, and grew up here in upstate New York. According to my father the first time I shot a pellet gun was when I was four year old. I honestly don't remember it though. One of the first right of passages around here for most boys is when you go from a BB/pellet gun to a .22. I do...

    Clean Jokes

    Joe took his blind date to the carnival. "What would you like to do first, Kim?" asked Joe. "I want to get weighed," she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 130 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 110 and she won a prize. Next the couple went on the ferris wheel. When the...

    after LABOR DAY would you still wear bright summer colors & whites?

    I wish seeing a man in an all white suit during the "cold season" reminded me of Tom Wolfe, but honestly it usually reminds me of a certain Kentucky Colonel. Truth be told though I can only think of one time where I saw a man wearing an all white suit in the winter, and that was at fundraiser...

    First Dates

    Pay for everything on the first date, especially if you asked her out. That's what men do. Also take the whole "women like jerks" thing with a grain of salt. Most women are going to like the fact that you aren't super shy and can hold up a good conversation, and simply have fun with them...

    Ralph Lauren's idiotic PRE-DISTRESSED fedora

    lol Sad isn't it? It's an overpriced wool hat that is made to look like someone else wore it during a few good old fashion cattle drives. So basically what your paying for is a brand new hat, that imitates a beater hat, for the price of a decent custom made hat. Now I'm one of the biggest free...

    How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?

    Hello dear. :) How's tricks? I have cousins who follow this template even though they are pushing thirty and have kids. My Mother's side has been in upstate New York since we got off the boats, whether we were living in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, or the foothills of the...

    How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?

    Exactly, Daniel is about as much of a redneck as Jack Benny was a tightwad with a man servant named Rochester. Daniel Whitney wasn't really born in the south, and Jack Benny didn't really drive around in a 1923 Maxwell. It's an act, it's an over exaggerated lie, and for anyone who isn't afraid...

    NFL Fedora

    Yeah, it's one of the stupider rules. Mike Nolan got permission to wear a suit back in 2006, but for only two games of the season.
