Re: Pics from Ivy Style opening night party

Been away for a couple of days as busy travelling for work and back out in the morning.   Thanks for the kind words of support Grandma's Pants.  Sending this as a PM seemed a bit mean of me, so I wanted to share our growing relationship with the whole group.  You are more experienced than I and many of us so we appreciate your guidance and knowledge sharing.   Your guidance will be appreciated by others posting up on off-topic subjects such as northern soul and British clothing in the group too although I'm always pleased that you're able to focus your helpful input on my posts as it makes me feel special and very appreciated.  Don't worry about the harsh words, I know you mean them with the dark humour characteristic of this group and have my best interests at heart.   I'm sure over time we'll become chums and you will reciprocate my deepening feelings for you.   All the best as always.   Back soon, I promise.

ps, sorry for editing this a couple of times but the first draft just didn't convey the depth of my thanks for your kind responses to my posts.

The more I hear about this book, the less chance there is of my buying it.  It deals with designer clothing, takes 3 and a half minutes to read and doesn't look appealing.  Not my idea of £20 well spent.

And remember, this is the book that places Haircut 100 in a central position to the Ivy canon.

I've already done the 'down to the lake I fear' quip.

And hilarious it was too.

No, alas not. I heard it was a fantastic day.

Re: Pics from Ivy Style opening night party

Anybody got any more embarrassing photos of Chenners at the party waiting on tables and looking awkard?

I must say his widow peaks are ravishingly dandyesque. All he needs now is to start slicking back his hair with Brylcream and I think he will have perfected the marriage between online image and that of the boy in real life.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Pics from Ivy Style opening night party

I've sold my copy of the book now so I can't be perfectly accurate, but at the end of a section on modern style, it links the Prep/80s Ivy emergence to Haircut 100 and even Spandau Ballet.  I couldn't believe they were even mentioned in the book.   Mention Spandau Ballet but not Dexys.  But we've done the book a lot now, there's not that much in it.

Re: Pics from Ivy Style opening night party

Spandau Ballet fitted in with the New Romantics, they had no style influence from Ivy. The closest to Ivy elements would have been TSC.

I agree entirely which was why I highlighted how incongruous even mentioning them in the book was.

Click it, view it and see what it does to you. Then take the talking stick and tell the group what you feel.

Re: Pics from Ivy Style opening night party

Thank fuck it wasn't in 3D.

I actually think the video of the exhibition does it better justice than the pictures I've seen, I can only say the complete reserve with footage of Chens. Could he try and sound anymore Bostonian? Milieuuuuuuuuuuu, what about Haaaarvaaaaaard? Christ. Give it up.
