Imitating 1970's Kazak Ken Barbie dolls is not the way to go, unless you're Mafoofanny. There's a desperate story in all of this, an oligarchs attempt to promote his son and that Citizen world time zone watch - the first watch of its kind in Atyrau oblast circa 1997. Ticking away it is, ticking away, oh god, please make it stop!  And now.....yes, I can see it clearly, a Rolex Ambassador changing hands, a gift he says, a nod and a wink....allegedly.

Shit.....I'm claivoyant.

Gentlemen,

Pray tell are there ever circumstances when it is acceptable to wear an ascot and white sox ?

Esquire has been crap for years, just that no one has noticed.  It will mean victory for the muse of the 1970's mannequin man, an age will dawn of unparalled male corsetry and butt plugs used as a means to perfect a walk that is epitamy of this new style that will be taken up by Esquire reading clones the world over.  Ofcourse, outside of metropolitan districts, such behaviour is liable to get you beaten up.  I have a folding Brompton bicycle, but I wouldn't take it back to the mean streets of Ellesmere Port where riding such a contraption would be seen as effete and a sign that you needed to be pointed out for special attention.

The same with the Mafoofannyannie style, its an orphan's style from a postmodern musical about Imelda Marcos.  It is not useful attire, in all but a few locations, what use is a style that you cannot wear with confidence, ease and grace?  Its a constricted effiface, based on the principles of architecture rather than anything to do with tailoring.  He dresses, not in an Ivy style, but very typical of spoilt brats from the elite of oil rich ex-Soviet countries on the Caspian.

Ofcourse, I am only an apprentice style councillor, as I have been since I turned 18 back in 1989.  And if I know all of this, then there's something wrong with the editors at Esquire, probably too much Charlie. Allegedly.

Shame the other bloke could not buy a coat or a suit in his size. He is young though. Maybe he grew out of them ?
