    Favorite cigar & hat combination...

    So many kinds of goodness... The keys to a good cigar are tobacco quality, freshness and, of course, hand rolled. Any Cuban seed filler is great (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic), Connecticut (yes, Connecticut) wrapper. Some of the worst cigars I've ever smoked were authentic Cubans that a...

    My fedoras are haunted.

    Va-Va-Voom From Fritz Lang's 1927 classic. C3PO was modelled after Maria. Without the sexual overtones.

    My fedoras are haunted.

    EVEN-STEVEN Let me get this straight... ...you say that you are haunted by the ghost of Bob Dylan in a fedora? The American Psychiatric Association has a name for that, I am sure.

    Don't want a religious look

    Rider: What goes "Clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop-BANG! Clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop-BANG?" An Amish drive-by. I grew up near SE Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanla-Dutch country. Very interesting people. I don't know what they're thinking, but on the surface they're very tourist-friendly...

    Pre '50 Non American Jazz Recommendations?

    Love Brazilian... ...Joabim, The Gilbertos (Astrud and Joao), Walter Wanderly (fantastic Brazilian organist) and I really admire an international guitar duo, Strunz (Costa Rica) and Farah (Iran). They once collaborated with renaissance man Ruben Blades (Panamanian singer, composer, Jazz...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Believe it or not... ... the guy in the tighty-whities from Rocky Horror ("Brad") is Barry Bostwidk, the Mayor from "Spin City". Another pro for briefs (not white ones) is that they leave both hands free. It's like a friendly hand on your package at all times. Very reassuring.

    How does a girl keep warm?

    When I was on assignment... (Inappropriate comment deleted.) Alright. I'll present myself to the Committee to be spanked for that comment. (Consider yourself spanked.)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Don't want a religious look

    Try to avoid... ...this look. When I wear my black fedora I'm accused of being a Hassidic Jew or the Angel of Death from Godfather II. I guess only one is religious, and it's the one that is funkier, but they're both prettty noticeable in their own way.

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Just kiddin'... ...about Kevin Kline. The list of movies I love with him in them is endless. Great quote from "I Love You To Death" (allstar ensemble cast, except for Keanu Reeves): Joey: "What did he look like? He looka like Abe Lincoln comin' to bat". Ashley Judd is a regular at...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Couldn't dowload from a DVD. Just watched De-Lovely (Cole Porter bio), and all of the men dressed slick. That said, I'll pay good money to see one of you "dames" in the sailor suit from the "Anything Goes" number. That cute hat and the little white satin miniskirt...I gotta go. This won't take...

    Did you mean... ...the absolutely-best-band-that-God-in-his-widom-ever-blessed-the-human-race-awith? You mean Little Feat. Back to the subject. Today at "the club" People were admiring my new black wingtips and one moron came over and said "Who are you supposed to be, Al Capone?" I...

    What size brim is "stingy"?

    Midnight Blue... ...Daddy? Is that you? That picture actually looks like the first words out of your mouth ought to be "FBI, Ma'am. We'd like to ask you a few questions about your boss, Mr. Tortellini."
