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!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitude millenia ago.  There are se

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
