Very sharp!
Aside from always being spectacularly well turned out, Miss Tuppence seems to have a penchant for staircases.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Mario - you're one of the sharpest dressed guys on the lounge, if not the sharpest.
Hehe, it does look that way doesn’t it! I don’t mean to- or do I? It may be a subconscious thingy, all stemming from childhood games!!! (btw I use to play on the stairs as a nipper!)
Oh and ‘thank you’ all for your lovely comments about my last post…
Bad quality photo (when is it otherwise!)
All original. Late 30’s/early forties.

Today was the Art Deco Home and Garden tour in Sacramento. I was assigned to be a docent at a 1926 house, and decided to go for a Victor Laszlo look.
^ Mario it's the truth.... you always look fantastic. I don't say something every time or you'll get a big head

Thank you...
It's funny, you know. In standard German there is no real equivalent for that expression- to be big-headed - but the Bavarian dialect has a nice word that says exactly the same. Sounds great, too. The word is 'großkopfert'... Ain't that interesting?
Thank you...

That "B"-lookin' thing is a double-S. Frau Rue. "Gross-kop-fert". Practice until the p and f blend together like the "Pffft" when you give someone the razzberry. Beginning German looks a lot worse than it really is... it's remembering it all after years of disuse that's the killer.
Great outfit Bugsy, and I love that tie - don't leave it lying around, in my company!

Thank you DB Funny, I'm almost half German, but have no clue about the language [huh]

Just think, in German your name would be spelled Rü.
I love the German language and alphabet -- I took it for three years in high school. Though I've always had difficulty reading fraktur print found in pre-war German books and periodicals. I found that the two key languages to learn are German and Spanish. Both are very simple and once you know them many of the other languages -- such as Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian on the Germanic side -- come very easy.
