Mrs. WM to me just now: "What the hell are you laughing at?!"
As a point of info a ciggy butt would not ignite gasoline - you gotta have a flame. Trust me, I know this from blowing up Nazi fuel dumps in WWII.

Those shoes are maybe the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm not talking about in the realm of clothing, or shoes... I'm talking about the realm of everything. I'd rather stare at a picture of a 2 week old corpse that's been sitting out in a field in southern Georgia in the middle of summer.
I don't like the shape of those but I don't mind cord shoes/boots with denim. Its of course a no no with a suit, even a crap suit.
Yeah. It's the shape. Horrible. Elfin. The socks are cool though.

I have to admit I had to do a Google search on Alan Sinclair, but now I know....
Only a slight quibble: "Goodyear Welt" talks about "Mod" being all about people doing their own thing. Just like the unfortunates above are doing. Surely he should be applauding their individuality ?
Some guidance would help.
Thank you.
Not Jim.

Not "Jim", but me.
"Doing your own thing" can still be rubbish... But why pay lip service to individuality and then castigate those who exercise it ?
????????????????

I think it's currently dying over on NSFW where it belongs. Something approaching check mate would seem to be in the air...

Shoe gemming - the aftermath.
Oregon maestro has been grilled on his original claims. Now the web's favourite shoe repair man chips in. Who to believe? Decisions, decisions.
The New Yorker has real work to keep him occupied so very few posts - but the man from Oregon will not yield an inch.
Those who question are accused of not reading properly, trolling or being insulting. Oregon man seems to think none of that applies to him. Maybe maestros get a dispensation?

check the video at the bottom .. check out the jacket being modelled .. look at how much pull there is on the button & how tight the jacket is ... well perhaps it was perfect before but the bloke's been scoffing too many pies?
