Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

Those green seats have to go.

I think I'm like the sneaky brother-in-law who's always banned from the house because he's such a bad influence on hubby. lol

Yep... I can see that

Well..I think random and excessive complement each other nicey.
Looks like exactly the right style for filming MadMen.
Is the food good?

I had a chicken burrito there that I actually quite liked and chocolate cake.

I keep telling myself that I am going to create this nice artsy vintage inspired photo of myself and use that as my avatar, but I never do. I'm either too lazy or just camera shy.

Me too.

Oooo, yummy!

We have to figure where Mr. Lyles fits into all this family, as such. Perhaps the widower that married a wealthy woman and after her passing, opened a museum and hangs out at a "gentleman" club with a study, fireplace and plenty of books on shelves.

I think he's the handsome, well dressed, witty yet, slightly dirty minded uncle

...slightly dirty minded uncle

Only slighty?

 

[rue]

Yes

Oh and no more compliments from me mister

A lot of folks knock those who don't wear real vintage, it seems. However, they don't realize that if you're bigger than the average person was then, it's hard to find vintage that fits you. Being a larger guy, I have very little in the way of true vintage clothes, suits, and hats.

That's an excellent point. The other huge problem with wearing real vintage all the time is the durability of the clothing. Many things are still rockin' on, for sure, but many more have been damaged and worn out with use and time. It isn't feasible to wear them every day, unless you're okay with ruining them - and I am vehemently against that. If they've lasted this long that they've made their way into my hands, I could not be the one to initiate their demise.

Ooo if you do, I found the best place for it: http://www.befunky.com/

Here's one of the ones I did. They come out pretty good, eh?

C-dot.... I have a few vintage pieces that I wear and you're right, some of them are so fragile! I have one darling dress that has a split seam and I'm worried it will keep ripping even if I repair it

Cool picture!

Yes

There was a compliment? Don't see those often so i must've assumed it was meant for someone else.

All three recent posts on your suits .........

Great avatar FL ... it's nice to "see" you

Thanks a lot. I normally take horrible pictures. That's probably the only decent picture I've had taken since my high school senior picture thirty-nine years ago. A friend took that at a wedding we were both in a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time in white tie and tails.

 

[Flipped Lid]

Man Flipped Lid, you are looking sharp as a razor in your avatar! Classy!

Thanks a lot.

If I had said there was scotch in it then you would have told me I was wasting good scotch

No I wouldn't have---especially if I got some.

Oh, I know, and at the most inconvenient of places. I wore one of my vintage dresses to a wedding, and it had the tiniest of holes under the back zipper. During the reception, when I sat down in a chair, doesn't the hole rip all the way down the seat of the dress! Thank goodness I had a shrug I could cover up with while I scurried to the hotel manager's office, and she sewed up up for me. The suffering we do for vintage

Thanks, the effects are quite cool!

My green? I don't have green if I can help it---especially furniture.

In this day and age you were damn lucky to find someone who could sew!
