Greek.

Yes.

^Yeah, an Obi One to Darth Vader type of thing.  Once you were my headmaster, now you are my gimp slave, put on your high heels and iron my shirts, virgin-bitch!  In all seriousness, its masculine thing, no girls aloud.

Out of interest, apologies for sabotaging the topic (for a moment only) Russell Street, if any of you fine chaps are members of D-Net, Chensvold's bastion of Dandyism-fetishism, check out the thread about the sensual nature of ironing.  I kid you not.  I've almost returned to drinking bottles of amyl nitrate to relieve the seriousness.

He has transcended himself on the Ivy-Style website. He's done a good job with all the links and some of the copy, stolen of course as every writer does. "Gets" as William Burroughs use to note in books he was reading, aka Good Enough to Steal. And its a website I visit every other day or so, particulary for the links.

(This passage was removed to protect the innocent) And the bitchy correspondence on the leaving of Rosbif - who, was banned from this site, quite rightly as although very entertaining at times, his ego was too large and ungainly - just comes across as a small club of little men trying to make themselves feel big by excluding others.  That's not the message. Not the Ivy style message.

Well, I will probably get banned from D.Net for this, as I use the same Ace Face moniker.  Still, life's not an internet forum on Dandysim. To paraphrase the opening of Scorcese's Mean Streets, "You don't pay for your style crimes on an internet forum, you pay it on the street every day, all the rest is bullshit and you know it."

And you Russell, as prolific and engaging as you are on this forum, have always recognised this, that the real world is out there waiting to be engaged and explored.

Any forum that promotes the sensual nature of ironing is not engaged with reality outside of fetish quarters.
