Always an ever obliging boy, I will say...

... Does he really look so bad ?

And also -  Is it even a 'Look' ?

There's nothing to be offended by here. And, maybe, also, nothing to be inspired by either.

I could walk past him happily without my world being 'rocked'.

He has clothes on, certainly... But is he 'dressed' ?


(So says the man sitting here in his bathrobe...)

Raw material ?   Clay to be moulded ?   The bad guy's instinct for a weakness to disgustingly exploit ? 

Whatever, I'm very happy with him now. I've found his last 5 years very hard though... But a learning curve is a learning curve.  The boy is doing fine just now.

I do believe he is still unsuited to the 'Ivy' pose he's trying to work with... And I do kind of feel bad for him and yet at the same time good for myself that it all happened.

We were swapping emails just the other day, like we always have, and both of us are quite content in reality. The online Muppet show is just showbiz. I think that for both of us our major skill is self-promotion. 

Just like Whistler and, to a regrettable extent, the inferior showman, Wilde.

(Neither were English, BTW)

Gawd Bless Chenners.

Compared with Crompie he's a Real I-Gent. The original I-Gent - O! for the powers of poesy and for the Muses to descend and enable one of us to declare a paean of praise to Chenners.

can someone enlighten me on who the hell this guy is?

what menswear blog does he write?

Just in case there is someone on this site under the age of 80 who might want to start their own lucrative fashion blog, here's one way to do it:

1. Start blog with requisite pics of Astaire, Cary Grant, the Duke, and lots and lots of McQueen--the American one, in most cases.
2. Respond to all of the horrible companies that start sending you free shit by asking what you can do to get more swag.
3. Post pics of yourself wearing swag, as in the above post, referencing company.
4. "Publish" on your blog any piece of shit PR that the company sends you. This is now your job:

5. Repeat.

^ I disagree. Those shoes are fine. It is just the way you walk that will cause unnecessary wear on the toes.

Get B Nelson to fit flush toe plates.

Had to Google that. Turns out, you are spot on.
