    I guess you can't wear a hat ... because Uncle Walt and Tricky Dick didn't.

    Not Sissy Actors but REAL MEN

    Edward Laurence Doheny (1856-1935), an American oil tycoon who first sought his fortune out west. He tried his hand at several careers that befitted a drifter: mule driver, gold miner, fruit packer, singing waiter, pimp, and gunslinger. Woke up one morning in the Black Hills and found a...

    New Not-for-profit

    This is wonderful!!!! May you have all the success that your cause deserves. How may we help? It would be great if the Fedora Lounge became an official sponsor of your nonprofit. How about it, Loungers?

    Not Sissy Actors but REAL MEN

    Like any "real man", Teddy Roosevelt had his share of hard knocks: His wife and mother died on the same day, February 14, 1884. He was blind in his left eye. He lost his eyesight when he was boxing.

    Not Sissy Actors but REAL MEN

    Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest and the bullet entered his lung, but he finished making a speech before seeking medical attention. Very brave and very silly.

    How has ebay changed collecting locally, in person?

    And some use antique shops as a front for money laundering. And some owners love their antiques so much, they don't REALLY want to let go of them...so they price them high.

    Not Sissy Actors but REAL MEN

    I'd keep him in here. One can be a great person AND a "real man". There's no reason to believe that the young Karol Wojtyła (before entering the priesthood) didn't "kiss the girls". Apparently, women found him very attractive, and he got along famously with them. Athletic? Definitely...

    How has ebay changed collecting locally, in person?

    I've never liked "antique" shops. We have them in Chile, but the sellers never sell anything, and they don't seem to care. Year after year, the same stuff gathers dust in the shops. And why? Because ALL of it is way overpriced! eBay has played havoc with an economic theory which states...

    How do you take your coffee?

    I find that Starbucks' coffees are bitter. In Chile, we have a long tradition of espresso; most restaurants and cafes use Italian Melitta machines and Illy coffee beans. You can get a fantastic espresso there for a little more than a dollar. Last year, Starbucks appeared in Chile (along...

    Not Sissy Actors but REAL MEN

    I nominate Karol Józef Wojtyła, also known as Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Pope John Paul II). Some of his "manly man" qualities: Karol was athletic, with a lifelong passion for hiking, skiing, backpacking, and kayaking. He enjoyed playing soccer as a goalie and took daredevil swims in a...

    How do you take your coffee?

    In Chile, especially in the downtown districts, we have "Cafe Con Piernas" ("Coffee With Legs"). These are dimly-lit coffee bars with VERY scantily clad waitresses (baristas?) Businessmen go there on their lunch hour to drink an espresso and ogle the servers. And believe it or not, the...

    A REAL Fedora Lounge?

    We already have a real Fedora Lounge in Los Angeles. It's called The Derby. Matt Deckard, Wild Root, Trickeration, Marc Chevalier and other L.A. FLrs are regulars there. Here is how it used to look in the 1940s. It hasn't changed all that much since then: And here is the...
