Isn't it wonderful not to have any?
No false orthodoxies or blind acceptances of marketing scams like 'This is all about the style of the Ivy League universities'... ![]()
No 'Curriculums' that stress invented 'rules' for classic American Natural Shoulder style.
All this lovely freedom.
Which is why we spook the newbies & the small minded who need the vast richness of classic American style to be boiled down into something dumber that they can grasp.
Huzzah !
Talk Ivy will be four years old on the 6th July this year. We pre-date 'Ivy-Style', 'The Curriculum', and most blogs. We really started early on on Modculture, then moved in 2004 to Ask Andy, then switched in 2006 to The Wardrobe here... And we ain't done yet. Our team has consistantly led the way and manipulated the rest to create market sectors to also include the also-rans.
Some imagine that there is an online competition going on between sites. They tend to be our dupes. Trads, who's forum we we created, or Ivy-Style followers - Followers of a blog which we contrived into being.
There is no competition. We rule the roost in many guises all over the Net., all working towards the ultimate goal - Ivy for everyone !
All their forums and blogs are just as much ours as this place. And we give them to the world. All fellow travellers moving forwards.
Shalom !
Yrs,

(Now let's just wait for Chensvold & Geddes to pee their pants in fury!)
- I've just done a sales pitch to this effect this morning, backing it up with all the facts, dates & old emails. 'Fucking Hell', was the response I got.
And the truth is that nobody else had the moxie to do all this. It was our crew.
Huzzah (Again) ! ![]()
... and to think i do all this from bed... !
Sterling work, boss. Where's that "like" button?
Yup.
Just had the email.
Chens is spitting out his cornflakes as we speak.
Cool to know he reads us first thing to get ideas for what do next all day... What time is it there? 6am? 7am?
Expect this to now run on his blog for days & days with 99 different usernames being used by Chens & Geddes all agreeing with each other.
Christian - Maybe I'm not a 'Sociopath Svengali', maybe you are just a bit of a village idiot? Surely I can't be to blame for all your defects? You were already pretty crap before you blundered in to me. Be honest.
Go and hoover your little Purple rug.
Best - ![]()
Important to say that this was entirely a team effort by all Ivy fans everywhere.
And it was only the Ivy crew that ever really did anything. All the Trads & Preps were too happy in their little playpens...
The Mods were far more sussed. I guess because they were into clothes & not so busy pretending to be unconvincingly posh... ?
Who can say...
Turns out I started in on Ivy in 2002 online. A Mate had to tell me.
And 1978 in reality.
It's nice to have a hobby whilst marrying, having two kids, restoring 3 historic Grade II listed buildings, having a career and running various of your own businesses... I think I liked redesiging our gardens best though. Love planting trees...
(I know - I'm just throwing salt at Chensvold now. It's a fault.)![]()

I know what you mean about the "99 different usernames being used by the same people"
It's very off putting... (wink)

And all that whilst in bed and being a gay english alcohol soaked druggy jew.
Amazing.
Quentin Crisp eat your heart out.
Do you dust often?
PMSL - Chens rants away by email, but there's nothing on Ivy-Style yet because Geddes is on the West Coast and isn't in gear yet to receive his orders.
I'm lovin' it.
Chens goes mental, but there will always be a three hour delay before his pathetic puppy can start all the yapping, if you time it at the right time in the morning.
London: 0 GMT.
NYC: +5 GMT.
LA: +8 GMT.
Soooooooo silly.![]()
So will it come now or won't it?
Will we get all their collected fury at around 4PM, or will we notice a horrible silence because we've preempted all their predictable crap?
Fun to watch ! ![]()
It all depends on how quickly Chensvold can tell the pathetic 'Mod' (really?) Geddes what to do. Unless Chens starts in on his own account or using some of his own fake names...
... And THIS, my friends, is absolutely the reality of the Internet.
Oy.
I can't say too much about Chen, I've got some plumbing to do round his house. Carrying on with his African wildlife theme it's a rather amazing Moc-croc toilet and cistern and comes with a matching basin. Once again showing the height of good taste in his choice of home decor. ![]()
If you click onto this toilet talking point you'll also see the delightful tiles I'll be putting up. A final decision awaits between the orange Moc-croc and leopard. I'm waiting til he decides which will compliment the baboon's head above the bidet.

He's caved.
Couldn't rouse Geddes?
- Liking the new bathroom very much.

He already sees a Baboon's head when he looks in the mirror. Does he really need another?
this is one of those threads that has me thinking Jim is utterly psychotic, but in a very entertaining and righteous way.
It oddly IS the stuff that people want from me too. People want 'Russell Street', not little Jimmy with his winsome smile. It's a great act to put on & I never get tired of it, as long as it does the trick.
Exceptions so far are Harry Stedman & Chris Lloyd who both found my eagerness to drop trou. as part of my routine a bit of a trial. But I've worked out some new alternative schtick since then...
Life goes on.
Chen's rants of yesterday will be added to this thread in due course. Why he provides me with all this ammo is beyond me. I merely mention my intention to use them now so that he can enjoy that feeling of sickening dread of having them hanging over his head.
Psychotic? Sociopathic? Or merely a rather good comedian? ![]()
Tee Hee !
Chuckle - And that was post 666 for this incarnation !
"Once again you prove yourself to be the most despicable person on the internet. Your perverse satisfaction in handing someone a poisoned chalice and encouraging them to drink, then laughing at them for it, remains one of the most loathsome spectacles. Fuck you and fuck Ivy, drop dead soon."
*Ahem*

"F*** Ivy" is hardly the talk of an Ivy fan, Christian. So for you it's OK.
Were you quoting Mark McNairy by any chance ?
"Why was there never a point when you came to me to negotiate a deal? Why have you always played God?"
"I have to look at your forum throughout the day to know what's coming next. I dread it."
Time for the puchline?
"So what if I'm in this for money, aren't you? Ivy is a load of crap. We should combine forces."
Hmmmmm - I think I'll pass. Thanks.
