Those pictures show up fine for me Classic. No news to date I'm afraid.

What can I say? He WAS an eccentric literature critic, whereas today's satoralists who want to get noticed want to LOOK like an eccentric literature critic.
I LOVE , this foum

He WAS gay.
He WAS sexually abused by his parents.
He LIVED life to the full.
He HAD a huge flat full of expensive decadent bric a brac.
He DID take his own life when there was no way out.
Compare that to Crompton and all the wannabes.

Well he claimed "1000 men and 20 women". Is that "bisexual"? Maybe.

Raddatz hat friends like Susan Sontag, or Inge Feltrinelli, whose Italian husband published "Doctor Zhivago" and was murdered by left-wing terrorists in 1970ies Italy.
Not "friends" from an online clothing forum called Manfoodam and who lives 100,000 miles away.
He lived in Harvestehude, the part of Hamburg which has a very nice long part of the lake Aussenalster, in a nicely aged turn-of-the-century block of apartments with direct access to the lake. A lifestyle most iGents would happily subscribe to.
PhD, not an online degree in "media design".
And so on.

The point you make is a valid one, people used to have some interesting quality or skill that would throw them into the public eye, and then people might pick up on what they wear. Now youve got, what's for the most part well paid normals passing themselves off as creative types on social media. It appears that a lot of interesting creative people havent got two pennies to rub together, all those great creative pursuits of the 20th century are on their arse. At best all most people can hope for is red bull sponsorship.
