    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Count me as a tenth 1970s hater. (Note: somewhere buried in the Fedora Lounge archives is a long long thread I started called "Why do I hate the 70s so much?")

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    $10 lattes are stupid. All-black is moderately dumb. However, snideness agaisnt the NYRB is misplaced. The New York Review of Books is the most intelligently written magazine on the newsstands, and I will defend it until the day I die. I have been subscribing to it since about 1994 and years of...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    One of my all-time favorite films. I love how the woman descends the steps, holding her hands above her head in gestures that betoken both silent acting ... and insanity.

    VICTORIANA

    Foofoo, those catalogues are great! Idyll, I have to confess a repulsion to coprolites especially while eating. I am not fond of anything that has to do with that topic. I am putting together a wonder-cabinet now, but it's not by the eating area. I do like The Grotesque, though, and if I...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    Don't part it in the middle. I did that long ago, and now I have a "chip" where the hair is thin ... right in the front and middle of my damn forehead. A slight reverse-widow's-peak. This is inevitable if you part your hair in any place over and over -- look at Robert MacNamara's low side part...

    What Happened to Florsheim?

    I have Florsheim Imperials that are only a few years old. They are Florsheim Imperial Long Wing Kenmoor wingtips, black, solid as a rock. No complaints at all. I bought them new for about $225, 3-4 years ago. I have a pair of older vintage Florsheim saddle shoes, oxblood and black. Very...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A couple of shots of MacAllen 12 Year scotch to celebrate my Herakles-at-the-Augean-Stables-like task of cleaning out and rearranging our storage room.

    Sex and Suits

    Excellent book. I first read it about 4 years ago and was very impressed.

    I always do.

    Californians Please check in!

    That is extremely interesting, Mr Oviatt. I cannot blame the family for not living in the city that bears their name. Honestly, with the exception of the Arab quarter of Saumur in France, I've never seen such a horrid town.

    Hat etiquette for *today*

    What a _____ing idiot. Geez.

    Man of the century, why have I never sen this before?

    "Charming and well done" is right! A sweet little film, a dear little film. PLEASE NOTE that I mentioned this film in a thread 2.5 - 3 years ago which got NO responses (I think the thread was entitled something like "Modern Movies With Characters Who Dress Vintage").

    VICTORIANA

    Those red brocade waistcoats are amazing. One sees them on "Deadwood" I think. Yes, this is the Wunderkammer thing I was talking about: cabinets of curiosities (or more literally chambers of wonders). Wooden cabinets, highly lacquered, in which were displayed wonders of the natural world...

    What are you wearing today??

    Good job, Dahrling. I've influenced my father also, but not in the realm of personal visual aesthetics. More in politics and religion. Let's see pics when you can.

    VICTORIANA

    I guess the truth is, I love Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, and most Art Deco; but when Deco starts to get too geometric and unnatural, I find it ugly and long for organic shapes. I have come to loathe midcentury modern. I think there is something I just don't like about post-WW2 styles. The...
