Some sort of physical disfigurement is good, as is a sexual deviancy (details not needed).

TV

I wonder if I qualify.

smashing good thread, TL.
i think to be a true Buff's Bastard requires...for lack of a better word...a certain 'notoriety' of some kind elsewhere. therefore i don't think those with uncontroversial reputations elsewhere are true BBs. Buff's Illegitimate Stepchildren, tho, maybe?

For me, a Bastard newbie(at the very least), being a Bastard has certain requirements.

1.A certain level of independence towards one's style of dress.
As my grandfather was fond of saying,"Boy, don't ever dress for people who don't give a crap about you". If that's not Bastardly, I don't know what is. Bill Blass used to say about dressing, "Know who you are, know what you want to say, and don't give a damn about anything else."

2.An appreciation of the fine art of dressing and a great respect for those who make the items which help us identify ourselves to the rest of the world, without being a prissy b*tch about it.

3.A desire to be noticed-in a good way, especially by those who are desired by the Bastard in question.

4.A certain refusal to have one's style dictated to him by a self-described "style guru", who, BTW, usually looks like a ginourmous POS himself-no names, please. Initials alone will suffice.

5.A desire for the sensually exciting in life, not just the casually pleasant(Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz).

6.An enourmous amount of aggressive, animalistic behaviour/desires lying just beneath all of that cotton, silk and cashmere, instead of the eunuch-like, effeminate and pretentious who usually populate the world of the well-dressed male.

There's more, but "Goldfinger" just came on, and JB's just about to meet you-know-who!!!
Later, Bastards!
SAAAAAA-LUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think being banned for controversy is as good a mark as any.

Good luck and Godspeed. You are one of the true Bastards!
