    Ribbons...

    So I'm curious I know with ribbons it's best to go with the very basic and avoid valor medals unless you actually earned them. But what are your thoughts on someone who is portraying a veteran of the dark days of the 8th Air Force in 1943 when they were issuing Air Medals and Distinguished...

    So just curious what is the one item that you love the most and is the deciding factor of your attire? Be it a hat, a set of cufflinks, a tie etc. etc. Since moving to the sunny south 3 years ago I have fallen in love with all sorts of vintage sunglasses. Though my collection is small it is growing.
