I remembered an old photo today of me standing on a railway platform in Cornwall (sadly, it is not with me here yet). I am in a red polo shirt (collar turned up) and a pair of cream linen trousers plus a pair of Mr Lobb's plain white oxford buckskin shoes and a panama hat (The Panama Hat) and I thought to myself: "Was I unconsciously doing 'Ivy League' while Chenners and his pussy were still in diapers?" Discuss at will.
Well it's a 'Chenners' look if ever there was one...
I do not know what poor Chensvold looks like. I have only built up a picture in my mind that is largely based upon Russell Street's obsessive ravings.
Rather a natty dresser, don't you think?
The above is not a bad look at all really and I have nothing against the man as such either.
*Disclaimer* I think his website can be good every now and then.
I've changed my image many times throughout my life so I won't hold it against others to do so.
Please do not denigrate SL. The author was a great favourite of Groucho Marx, a great stylist of the English language and I've read everything of his I can find. This photograph, on the other hand, reinforces certain of the predjudices I have acquired against the wearing of a Madras jacket and I am relieved that I passed mine on to Hard Bop Hank. He uses it to frighten neo-Nazis.
Whoi is Stuart Little? .....
Who are The Beatles? Who is this Jimmi Hendrix? Eh? Eh?
'Stuart Littlejobs' is an invention of Barry Humphries as Dame Edna. The Shooman will know more than I.
