    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    Ms McGraw, those are stunning. If only such persons were in the stacks in the University of California, Berkeley library .... I'd study at home a lot less.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    A refined fiend.

    Briefcases

    It is darkening the rag! Damn. Well, I'll buff it more with a big shoe brush. Pics? Well, maybe I'll post one or two. As I didn't take before pics, the after pics might not be too exciting with no comparison except the small lame pic that you see above.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Two yesterday. Actually neither involved hats. But they were still the sort of comment one relates on this thread. I was walking to the Art Deco Preservation Ball at the Julia Morgan House in Berkeley yesterday evening. I had on a tuxedo. No tails. No hat. About 8-9 high schoolers...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    What a moron. What else is he gonna say? If I tell him I'm Irish, he's gonna accuse me of getting drunk, singing, and getting in fistfights? If I tell him I'm Korean, is he gonna tell me I'm a math major in college? What a twit.

    Briefcases

    Gents, you are all giving me fine ideas, good counterarguments, etc. I confess that the lovely and weird look of greenish brass does indeed appeal to me. So perhaps I should not mess with the natural patination process. The rest of the bag does not precisely look new -- it looks like a...

    Briefcases

    Yes, I do think these cases really look the part. And it's just more dignified to carry one of these than a backpack. The only drawback is they are huge -- absolutely monstrous. I cannot fit this one underneath my daughter's stroller, it is just so immense. You could not possibly fill it with...

    LEATHER RESTORATION

    There is a separate thread specifically for exotic leathers such as reptile.

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Quite good article Herodotus, under the guise (as usual with the New Yorker) of a book review of a new edition of Herodotus. This should be interesting even if all you want is a handle on who Herodotus was, what he wrote, and why he is so damned important (and he is), as well as why he is so...

    inlaws(screams)

    The way I dealt with my father in law's reactions to my tattoos (I am heavily tattooed too): I looked at the tattoos, then looked at him squarely, raised my eyebrows, and said, "ha ha ha! tattoos!" then turned away (not too quickly ... best not to seem intimidated) and said "I have to get...

    What to do with a dark olive double breasted jacket

    i.e light olive -- that would work. Remember that black pants also will go with almost anything.

    inlaws(screams)

    Oblique ways to set ground rules: tell a (not necessarily factual) story about a friend of hers with a bad guest. Then talk about the sensible way the friend told the guest very nicely about whose house it was. Then say, "Have you ever had guests like that? Don't you think my friend handled that...

    I see. Excellent that she put her foot down! A smart woman. People who pull that kind of thing really (as if you couldn't tell) freak me out.

    Lunatic. My first urge would be to kick his *ss hard (no breaks, only lots of bruises -- nothing permanent or requiring the wearing of dentures, which is a no-no) and then threaten to break his bones if he even considered bringing in the Law. This would be after throwing his suitcase and his...

    A surfeit of beauty. My eyes hurt. Thank you Marty. I'll stick you with the optometrist bill.

    LEATHER RESTORATION

    There is more cracking and scuffs than I wish. A few would be nice, but there are many. Can you tell me about Lexol? I don't know anything about it. Is it a spray? A cream? What is in it?
