Gak! The dudes at the Tonys are wearing tuxes that look like they were stolen from some Oscars guys from about 15 years ago. Gak.
But it's not so bad, really. I have the Tonys on without the sound and have the Big Broadcast on the radio. :)

Brilliant! All I could think, when Denzel was on a minute ago was, "Can't this clown bother to get a shave?"

Maybe the dowdiness of your formal getup is meant to show the level of your dedication to Aaaaaht.

Half the men winners appeared to be British, anyway - they do shabby eccentricity as well as they do dandyness, and much more often.

I keep wondering, did somebody invent a razor that leaves exactly 4 days growth of beard on ones chin?

I'm sure I remember seeing 'beard trimmers' in the eighties that had a specific setting for the "designer stubble" look.

You are very right Edward and apparently they are still available for that George Michael/Sonny Crockett/lazy bum look.

What gets me is, isn't it more of a hassle to faff around keeping your stubble at a shabby level rather than just having a shave!

Of course, but then for those who actively seek just the right level of deshabille, I'm sure it is considered time well invested in one's look... lol

Ironic isn't it? Spending lots of time and making an effort to appear that you haven't spent any time or made any effort lol

Kids today eh!

I believe that is correct. Something about wanting the "Miami Vice" look.

I have a nephew who would spend a half hour futzing around with his bed head hair style.

All to end up looking like this guy........:eusa_doh:

Nothing new

I remember an anecdote about Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. Sandburg was visiting at Frost's home. Someone asked where Sandburg was, and Frost said, "Oh he's in the bathroom fussing with his hair to make it look like a comb never touched it."
