    Guilty of collecting....?

    There's an inconceivable abundance of opportunities to acquire things in our lives. I've always had a problem with what to keep, what to throw away, and where to find room for it? No, I'm not a "packrat". I've known some people that are literally possessed by their possessions! I haven't...

    Which five films do you think have the most "classic Style"? The purest clothing classicist for me was Hitchcock. I read that he never allowed his leading men to wear anything but a solid silk tie. No patterns, no stripes. I remember that article from Esquire, and have solid ties for my...
