Fashion Sense and Looks

Since I have neither I am going to take liberties at pontificating on said subject.

I get the sense that both are overrated and the former is used to largely support a scam run in broad daylight. At night it is harder to discern who is fashionable anyway hence the expression. Add to that a certain state of inebriation at the late hour and it further supports the theory that Fashion is irrelevant at the bar. Mucho Dinero matter.

Said scam is operated by the likes of big brand names; largely resident in Europe (remember Seinfeld famously saying his man purse is actually 'European') or from designers whose names are more complex to say than the biological designation of opium.

On the matter of looks - you are either born with them or not. Simple! Those that are not are to accept it as fait accompli and make hay under whatever planetary light they can find. Why anyone would embark on hay making in today's day and age is a matter of another blog - perhaps weed may be appropriate.

I suppose the whole theory of being fashionable is to believe that it would invite certain amount of ogling from those devoid of it. That such observed ogling provides certain mental stimulation in the form of happiness to the fashionable.

But mind you too much of that in the form of paparazzi behavior also turns the fashionables to ditch their aura and start foaming at the mouth - an utterly unfashionable aspect of human kind I say.

For those not content to accept the earlier mentioned 'fait' they turn to the modern miracles of medicine or surgical alternatives to alter their facade. These experiments at times meet with success as seen by the eyes of the beholder. Mostly the beholder tends to be somehow monetarily linked to the specimen undergoing the surgery and tends to ooze expressions of awe at the end of the procedure.

In fact I am going on a limb (I have two to walk on) with a pocket square to say that 'Fashion Sense' is an oxymoron.

  1. You may turn out to be the David 'Oglevy' of fashion marketing at this rate. I loved this frontal assault on the gurus of FTV and F itself.

  2. What's the point on focusing on the rear after all; even the rear view mirror merely shows someone's front!

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

 Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

 We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid.  The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access.  That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
