Men... Who do you fashion yourself after?

[Julius Xavier]

Okay so if you lived another life in another time... who are you most like presently?


1. - Indiana Jones Type Character (adventurous, aggressive)


2. - Sam Spade Type Character (private detective, mystery)


3. - Rick Blaine Type Character (business man, quiet)



I myself am an Indiana Jones Type. I love adventure, history, cultures past and present, and general adventure.

[BellyTank]

Myself in vintage clothes... of course.

Men

Ah...Bellytank... good answer but... that was not the question...


This is kinda like a poll but I couldn't figure out how to do a poll like over on COW so that's why I have 3 differesnt choices... I want people to pick one of the three.


-Doc

 

[BellyTank]

I read the question-
The answer still stands I'm afraid- maybe there's a vague mixture of all three
in the formula but not really one more than the other.
Maybe a private, quiet, adventurous mystery man.
You can call me Rick Spade-Jones.
Good enough?

[HaraldTheSwede]

I'd probably be Rick Blaine aspiring to become Sam Spade.

 

[Biltmore Bob]

None of the above...

I'm more of the O' Brother Where Art Thou/Working Stiff looking kind of guy.

Find me a picture, Belly Tank. You know what I'm going for.

 

[BellyTank]

I do indeed Bob- that's me too- pants or vintage jeans/waist dungarees, shirt, leather jacket, throw on a tie when/if necessary- and the faithfull hat of course.
Alan Ladd in China but maybe a bit scruffier. Robert Redford in The Natural?
Vintage everyday 'real', rather than vintage typical idealistic...

I guess I'm also the everyday working stiff kind of guy. Light cargo pants, with a worn rolled up sleeve shirt and my ever present gray fedora. This look brought about a funny story that I'll relate. Earlier this year as I was waiting for a hat store to open on a cold April morning, I was huddled up against a brick wall on the opposite side of the street soaking up the warm rays of the sun that were just peeking over the tall city bulidings. As I was shuffling off the cold, two women hurried past me, but one of them threw me a five dollar bill as they passed. I had no time to correct them of their error and ended up giving the $5 to first actual bum I came across. My friends get a kick of that story. I often wonder how much money I could of collected if I had stayed on that corner all day.

I got the vintage pants, dress shirt, leather A-2, 30's fedora and 30's tie look with wingtip shoes today.

I think I would have to side with a touch of Indy as of late for my lack of suits that fit at the moment. I tend to go for more of the mix and match professorial look, though I have been called a yuppie... any vintage icons fit into that catagory?

 

[BellyTank]

...add a Thompson and there's yer 'look'. 'Callin me a yupie?'

She's in the trunk of his car, in a suitcase, BT...

Hmmm... I would probably go for something like my father. That is easy. He and I look fairly alike and even sound alike. That would probably liken us both to Rhett Butler though---without the illegal activities. I still don't give a damn.

Regards to all,

[Johnnysan]

Well, if I gotta pick just one...

I guess it would be Spade. Always quick with a comeback and pretty self-reliant. My only concern is that Spade, like Marlowe, always came close with the ladies but never followed through. I do not have their incredible self-restraint where the fairer sex is involved (but, then again, he IS a fictional character.)

 

[Vladimir Berkov]

No room for the artiste or literary type, eh?

 

[The Wolf]

I'm more like the Rick Blaine, my Indy days are behind/ahead of me as I have two young kids, and Sam Spade peeks out occasionally.
I'd say I'm more a William Powell crossed with Fred MacMurray type.

[Wild Root]

Ah, I don't fit the mold of any of the three. I do have a little Spade in me, but not much. More of a James Stewart I think.

Root.

PS. BT, DON'T EVER SHOW THAT FIRST PICTURE AGAIN! AAAAAAAAA!!! That will give me the creeps for a long time.
