Thanks!

- To be honest we all have tons of good stuff for you here - PM for a few pointers?

As long as you credit it's cool.

Thanks a lot.

Such vim & spunk.

ah, that blog (and presumably The Style Councillor on here?) appears to be old Eton Rifle from Modculture...

the bizarre use of 'plant pot' as an insult and talk about Sheffield United gives it away...

while good rants can be funny (see some of Mik's on MC), this guy really has some 'issues', seems to think he's a lone soldier fighting everything wrong with the world, doesn't seem to realise that most of us on here, MC, etc, all think exactly the same about stupid fashion items, ugly trainers (hardly a surprising new development that, is it? been plenty of hideous designs since the late 80s, and hideous colour schemes even before that), etc, we just don't let it bother us.
same as in other fields - my main interest is music - i don't worry about dreadful music (whether it's being made today or was made 50 years ago), i just ignore it and only think about the good stuff, confident that i've got good taste and good records.
his posts about celebs are another example - i haven't got a clue who any of them are (one might have been Lily Allen?), they simply don't enter my vision at all let alone bug me.

anyway, better let the thread get back to the Ivy. sorry for the interruption!

i actually quite enjoyed TSC's posts on here and he certainly could have been a very interesting contributor, but the Eton Rifle posts on MC and a lot of that blog are just tiresome and predictable. presume it's the same guy though, too many coincidences, can't be *that* many people out there, surely?

Don't be sorry, mate ! You've pretty much articulated my thoughts on this one, in fact you did it better than I did i.e. I've absolutely nothing against older subculturalists, it's the ignorance of such querulous people I can't stand....

I have to admit TSC had some interesting ideas on modern classic clobber and I presume you're right about 'him' not being TSC but this Eton Rifle bloke although I think I've never read any of the latter's posts. I'm very selective if I check MC forum these days, not that it matters a whole lot but anyway......

^ Haha.

So browsing the LIFE archives can be a paid gig? I'm starting to understand why BoO took it.

^  I honestly don't know if dear young Leany will leave my comment up in these blog-happy days in which we live so here it is for history:

Ahhhhh - “Ivy Style”!

Yes, just like “Ask Andy About Trad” I trolled that place into being too…

The pics are from Zach - A cool cat who was with us on FNB’s “Talk Ivy” forum before Christian M. Chensvold banned him from posting there. Shame, that. We dig him.

I too like the pics.

And I have to say that the cash-in “Ivy Style” blog is always of interest. I really do hope that Chensvold can find some success in ripping of the ideas and the vibe of the “Talk Ivy” site.

… Because we ALL know what he’s up to, the little iParasite!

Best -

Yr. Uncle Russ.

Check that because he doesn't know Ivy he thinks it's just Ra-Ra student style!

Yes - ACL eventually took down the comment & dropped me a line regarding it asking not to be involved. I've asked him if he wants to interview me & he's currently having a think. I'll report back.

Chensvold & ACL seem to be good iFriends these days. It's nice to be in the start of a new relationship isn't it? These bloggers stick together, eh?

The unknown is did Chensvold lean on A Continuous Lean? Chensvold is getting very well known for doing this around the Net these days. Proof on file. A touch of the ol' AKs? I know not. But I do know that bullies are always to be faced down.

Edit: From the 'About' section on ACL:

"*A note on comments. Feel free to comment and disagree with me. If you want to say nice things, that is cool too. There is no comment moderation on ACL, so that is one less thing you have to worry about..."

I like ACL's blog a lot and Michael Williams too - He helped a lot in getting my NYC FT gig. So what happened here? My comment was up for two days before it suddenly got taken down. Also I've previously posted 'The Truth About Trad' stuff on ACL & it's been left up. Is it just because I've now moved onto "The Truth About Ivy Style" that we have a problem? What a cyber-soap opera!
