Elegance wasn't meant to make one look like a mafioso! Or a dork! Or a jerk!


Only fashion was!..


BTW, it reminds me, I need a haircut, thanks Padre...

(Taken From the Sartorialist, a site that I visit now and then for a reason that I ignore ( maybe I'm masochistic after all, lol.) because I really hate everything (almost) about it especially, ESPECIALLY the thousands of INSANE fashionistas who comment there!! They seem to pass away in admiration of the slightest voile shirt or cutt-off tuxedo pants! Shudder!)
NB* Hang on! Is that guy wearing a bracelet? Is HE?!! HE IS!!


( It's Sunday, ok??!! We're entitled to a bit of fun, Comrades!)

  10. I had to refrain myself but what I disliked most about his outfit was his reddish tan and the "matching" hair color!

  11. BTW v. Did you know that one of the most vocal and active British?.. There was an article about him in the Sydney Morning Herald. He was in Sydney for the G8 meeting last year.. One thing made me laugh was his answer to the journalist's question about an anarchist being very well dressed.. He said: Why the F... shouldn't an anarchist be well dressed?

  17. Eugene Debs the leading socialist candidate of the 20th century was a well dressed man also -of course, he did not look to well dressed in prison clothes for supporting the people.

  26. Chomsky is ok :) His incisive mind would undo them even if he were standing there nude (which is not something I wish to see...lol).

  27. There was a time when you could make a political statement by your fashion-whether it was long hair, a shaved head, sandals, Doc Martens, etc. Now it seems all meaning of any kind has been stripped from fashion. Someone would have to dye their hair purple, get body piercings, and dress in old clothes for you to know they are an anarchist-and then you couldn't be sure. About the only fashion you can wear now that makes a political statement is the keffiyeh.

  28. Good clothes worn by a man with no taste. I thought at first that it was a photograph of fleming - that smug grin and the misplaced air of self-confidence.

  30. Yes, that is very beautiful vza

  31. Yes it is. I've been admiring it at every visit to the site actually.. The guy is a very good photographer mind you. He's just a bit confused and mistakes the weird with the original. Style with fashion etc..
    But what do I know....I'm a poor lonesome Zorro of a lost cause anyway!

  32. It's like this lady!
    Paris in Summer can be really HOT and the idea of wearing black is utter insanity..But black is everywhere now in Paris I could understand!...While he could grab the opportunity to highlight this point, he seems to be encouraging the ridiculous and counter nature trend!

    Maybe I should be having my own blog for such matters.LOL. What do you think? Would you come along?

  33. I'd call it ' the Sartorias..t'..

    Or 'the Sartoria..list of insanities'..

  35. Actually I like the second option...Hmmm. Food for thought...I'd just comment on what he publishes (like the original idea of the AACS actually)...I'd like that.

    What's the lost cause?

  37. What's the lost cause?
    ------------
    Well, preaching in the desert..Like what I posted above. The idea that there's symbiosis between one's attire and the season seems to be lost on  the majority...If even the Parisians, who tradionally have one of the most refined sense of matching the attire to the occasion, have adopted black all year round nowadays then the cause is lost! I heard that the New Yorkers are doing the same! In Sydney it's becoming ridiculous too. At any given time of a Summer day, when temperatures easily reach the 40 degrees in the shade, Sydneysiders have been swept too! Only old ladies and gents still hold on their light-colored light weight fabrics when everyone else chose an  accoutrement more suitable for a funeral...But I'm only scratching the surface here the problem is far deeper than that.. It would take days to detail the list of bizarreries and oddities so common and widespread that it might make one feeling alienated and ...lonesome..an odd one out!

  41. Ha ha ha! They should fit like a glove!!
    I hope they're meant as a joke! Like the crocs..( I have a colleague who wears them, in yellow!!!)

    I'm less tolerant with this fellow; No socks(!) It's the trend. It's obviously very hot and he's sweating but sees no causation effect between black and heat attraction/absorbtion.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Actually the Vibrams are meant for running! That should be excellent! A certain Indian/Mexican tribe( I forgot the name, maybe tarahumara)) is famous for it's prouesses at running the ultra marathons barefoof or wearing some types of sandals too. I remember discussing this matter on As'ad's blog...

  43. My type of "gloves"



    The list is very looooong.

  46. All very elegant..but definitely with socks.

    This last pair almost looks late 19th century.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It is of course! Elegance is a lot about nostalgia too. But it shouldn't. No reason..
    BTW, this is only available in bespoke from Dimitri Bottier, Paris. One of my favorites. He designed many modeles for Crocket and Jones, a slightly cheaper ones than his very exclusive own brand!

  48. I agree completely we should dress well and look good.  Look at the picture of Cynthia McKinney on this site -- although she is wearing a t-shirt, she is well groomed and the picture of good health -- a pleasant, attractive person.  Of course when I am representing just myself, but especially if I were representing the pro-justice, pro-human rights viewpoint (i.e. pro-Palestine), I should not give anyone the opportunity to call me a scruffy old hippie!
