    Selling off my last 2 fedoras

    Nicolas -- unlike most of the people who have posted here, I've met you -- in Berkeley, remember. Here is what I have to say: 1.) You look great in a hat 2.) Those styleforum people are not gay, but are straight men who put on a weird act like a snobby straight preppie's caricature of a...

    Childhood Fears

    That's scary. Was not there a Twilight Zone episode on this theme once?

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    This deserves to be carved in stone. Brilliant. Worthy of Wilde.

    Childhood Fears

    I do like the episodes I've seen of Burn Notice, but the idea of hiring a professional is unsporting expensive and not viscerally exciting/fun. NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. Another fear I had: really weird-looking older (55+) people who were horribly ugly and acted...

    20 is too many! Even I would get freaked out. Especially if some were dwarfs.

    Childhood Fears

    WHAT A LUNATIC. Let's get all the Portland vintage boys together (Julie PDX can assemble some tough rockabilly types to help out) and stomp him.

    How much can a suit easily be altered?

    I think about 3-4 inches but I don't know. Maybe someone who knows more than I do about this (and there are MANY such people here) should answer this.

    Vintage Money Clip

    Hi DJH: this is what works for me: in my right pocket is an antique silver cigarette case with my driver's license, bank card, school ID, and medical card (but no cigarettes). It could not hold money unless I folded and pressed the money absurdly. The right pocket also holds my keys. In my...

    New DB Suit, for $70

    It's a good (or great) starter and you'll move up from here! Bravo.

    Childhood Fears

    My father was a professional clown! This was in addition to his academic career as a professor. He got into magic in about 1980 and started doing magic shows in Beverly Hills at private birthday parties for good money. He joined the Magic Castle in L.A. For $20 extra he would don a clown costume...

    That is truly hideous. I love it.

    How much can a suit easily be altered?

    I wear a 42L jacket as well. All 42 sleeves have had enough cloth inside to extend them to a 42L. You need to look up in the sleeves. On Ebay you can ask a seller how much cloth there is up in the sleeve. The "skirt" of the jacket is another story. I have never asked a tailor to extend that --...

    Stairs without railings: +1. If they also don't have the vertical part and you can see through to the floor, I won't go on them even now.

    Golden Era Classics

    Unfortunately a gun is the only permanent solution to this sort of problem. However, I do not possess one, and I do not advocate using one when reasoning will suffice. This may get too political but I would suggest the following argument. "Under what regime has so high a number of human...

    Golden Era Classics

    I am currently in the dissertation stage of my PhD in Ancient History at Berkeley. So this is a topic very dear to my heart. The study of the reception of the greco-roman world by the later world is sometimes called "Reception Studies." Some universities have a professor on the faculty who...

    Books of the Golden Era

    No probs, I'll lend you the 10,000 pounds -- just give me your bank account number and access codes so I can deposit it. :) :p

    Old L.A. Photos

    If I find more, I'll post them. I have to look through some old e-mails. I don't know if I have Hollywood shots. I am not in LA much these days, alas. I was born there and lived there for the first 20 years of my life, from 1970 until 1990. I miss it once in a while. Not much. But I always...

    Vintage Money Clip

    I am not sure what decade my money clip is from, but I'll post a picture at some point soon.
