I went to a wedding, and I wore my 1950's suit. The center piece, though, was the tie. I'd show it off in the Tie thread, but I'm pretty sure that it's a little bit more modern than the 40's the thread is for, so here it is. Forgive the lack of a full body shot, please.

"Lips that touch wine shall never touch mine!" That seems to leave a lot open, doesn't it? How about this, "lips that touch liquor shall never lick her!" Erm. Maybe a bit too far. Back to the Scotch, shall we? I just recently got into whisky, well, I just recently got into alcohol at all. I...

I drink my martinis in an 8 to 1 ratio, but that's because my preferred martini gin is Bristol Bay, distilled in Alaska, which has a subtle nibble instead of a sharp bite. When I use a different gin I prefer 4 to 1. Has anyone tried a burnt martini, replacing the vermouth with scotch? It seems...

I don't have any activities planned for Valentine's day, but I know several lonesome females back home who will be pleasantly befuddled to find a mysterious rose on their doorstep...

It is in my experience that my long hair and my fedora complement each other. I get more positive comments about both of them when they're worn together than when separate! The only exception is my sister, who doesn't really count for this sort of thing you know.

I never liked pillows. They were good in concept, something soft to put your head on when you slept, but they never seem to quite work out for me. Worse still, I could only find comfort on brand new pillows, once they were broken in they no longer were comfortable for me. Then one day, when...

Here's a website I found when searching for the answer to a similar problem, the website sells hand painted silk scarves but I'm sure that their wash and care page will apply just as well to ties: http://www.texeresilk.com/cms-silk_care_cleaning_washing.html

I voted. I think. Either that, or I just donated my life's savings to you. Enjoy the $5.32!

I am related to a supervisor in the USPS, so I can give a somewhat insider's look at the rates increases. Perhaps one of the main reasons that the USPS is increasing rates is because the USPS is trying its absolute hardest to keep its employees employed, despite the economy increasingly turning...

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. I'm sorry! I'll try to stick around more and not just lurk! Anyways, I've moved recently, and I finally decided to visit the local thrift store. It wasn't very big... I moved from a rather large metropolitan area into a town of about...

I have a casual kilt in black, somewhat similar to Utilikilt, kind of like their mocker style except they don't have the studs on the front apron and have several leather buckle straps on the side. I think it's a better look than the V on the Utilikilt, especially since the Utilikilts are...

Well, the girl who I was going to ask didn't even show up to class, so I was unable to ask her to go to the Masquerade Dance with me. I went anyways, with a group of friends, and had plenty of fun. I wore a mask I had made myself, formed out of leather and hand painted, which impressed everyone...

And I was just about to bump it myself, too! Kohls carries a line of shirts by Arrow, fitted shirts. Right on the package they brag about having a higher armhole and about being thinner in the abdomen. I purchased one and wore it Friday; although not as good as bespoke or made to measure...

This Friday, my college is holding a Valentine's Masquerade dance. There's a girl who sits behind me in my first class on Monday. I plan on asking her to the dance before class... wish me luck please!

If I am asked to do something, or my name is called in an authoritative tone, I always respond "Yes, sir" or "Yes, ma'am." I didn't use to, but when I decided to be overall more respectful I basically programmed myself to be like that. It has resulted in a few confused comments by members of...
