"Preppy is the Ralph Lauren/J. Crew interpretation of the Ivy League look, a catch-all for the clothing popular on Ivy League campuses in the years just before World War II until some time in the recent past, how recent depending on the temperament of whom you ask. Staple clothiers for the Ivy League look are J. Press, Brooks Brothers, and (depending on what one thinks of the 1970s) L.L. Bean.
Trad is basically a subset of the Ivy League look favored by folks on the internet. It tends to focus more on the post-war look of the 1950s and early 1960s, often ignoring the pre-War Savile Row influenced look, the slim-fit modernist 1960s Ivy League, and the rustic 1970s Ivy League, but with a weakness for 1980s Preppy color-schemes and GTH clothes, a part of the Ivy League look that Preppy fixated on. Trad also seems to have more of a Southern influence, due to the large number of folks from the Southern United States who enjoy the look."

In a nutshell. Bravo.

What I like is that he says it is neither good nor bad, just different & lesser. It is what it is.

IF true then do you realize how big this is? One small shop in London has done everything using the web as a game of chess or "snakes and ladders"?
I want details.
How fucking depressing. More of this self-aggrandisement and shill posting.
Honestly: who else gives a flying fuck about any of this cobblers.
My Dear Fellow,
Log off? (but I hope that you don't) This is the Internet. If you are here then you buy into all of this.
For there is nothing else here. Anywhere.
It's troll on troll on troll on troll.
Enjoy it & work with it?
Because it's all this medium has to offer.
... Fun, though! (if you're playing the game too...)
Best,

Chapter One:
Skip was a stupid fool of a boy on 'GoPreppy' posting idiotic stuff about how dare these creepy minorities dare to wear our clothes, etc. He was a joke & featured on nobody's radar. Yet he schmoozed Tom (the weakest link in the SFRP and the one who was the first to be shunned by them). Tom was pissed from Monday to Sunday (in the English sense of being intoxicated) and was an easy mark for the very very very young Skip who fed Tom a line of BS that any Net savvy chap would have seen straight through. Tom had his eyes on AAAC as a move on from 'GoPreppy' & told Skip about the site. Tom posted there & then so did Skip, only Skip decided to bcome Harris at that point & to re-invent himself after much Googling, using the term 'Trad' first used by Tom on 'GoPreppy' in the (correct) Flusser sense of the word.
For Flusser got the term from the Japs, Tom got the term from Flusser and Harris/Skip got the term from Tom.
So - Thus far we have a stupid young kid (Skip/Harris), a soft-hearted drunk (Tom), and a totally stupid air-head (Sally Fowler).
Where next?
Well... I shall tell you...
(Actually all my sympathies are with Tom. I like a drop meself too)

I eagerly await the next instalment in this saga.
Peter Jackson is standing by to direct the film version.

Post 53 is so Wrong.
None of those literotica people indulge in any panic attacks or outrage, not much fun. The iGentry are far more willing and likely to freak out over tiny interweb disputes. Booo...
... Looking at the dates above, the 'Jenny' troll ran along side Russell, Miles Away, & Co. I'd forgotten that. There were five of us by then, an increase from the initial four. 14 was us at our peak, but it was when we slimmed down to 6 after that that the dynamic imploded as we had a 50/50 Ivy/Mod split which destroyed the crew at that point.
Russell today is a mere three. A Trinity of Trolls.
... But, unlike Del Vecchio, we have no rules about hiring.

Interestingly (?) all Harris ever did was to ape the brain-dead 'Sally Fowler' from GoPreppy in his AAAC/AAAT 'career'.
Nothing was new. He became her on AAAC. She who had shunned him on GoPreppy...
The cult of Stilman. The casting of himself & Cooly in roles from the film... Cooly was his Charlie Black...
It was old old online shit. But maybe it was new to some people...
... And he was young - Really young, like Rojo was. He lied about his age like he lied about everything else. By now he's out of college & working I guess & so he hasn't the time to be an iGent anymore.
oh well.
Tease me, tease me baby... Before I lose control...
'Appy New Year, Brother.
