    Can smoking be good for you?

    I would expect that no small part of that is because when our boys got out of the military, many of them kept smoking what they were given for free during the wars. Or maybe I'm remembering this from a half-watched episode of Mad Men a while back...

    Braces with Slacks?

    Now, where to find some... So two other questions I have then. 1) I have looked a few places and have encountered limited success in finding bracers to put on my nice new trousers. The couple of places I have found them have been rather out of my price ranger ($80 or so). Is ebay an ok...

    Braces with Slacks?

    For Christmas my parents took me shopping for some work-type clothes because I'm somewhat lacking in that respect. I was saying to them that I wanted to get buttons put on my slacks for braces and was informed that braces were more appropriate with a suit (I think my dad said 'when one's wearing...

    Braces with Slacks?

    I think the reply was more meant that having to remove a sweater then one's trousers is just a bit of a hassle when nature calls. That being said I've never found this much of a problem.

    Braces with Slacks?

    I am 24 and will be starting my first real job next week (I finished my Masters in July and worked retail from May through a couple weeks ago). As a Christmas gift my parents took me shopping for some professional clothes to add onto a rather small collection I have at present. I got a couple...

    Please no gifts!

    I'd agree with the sentiment but one other possible consideration would be a donation to a charity of which your mother is fond in her name (or of which she and her finance are fond in their names). Get here a nice card and include a note indicating the donation. *shrugs* Just my $0.02.

    Smoking Jackets

    Smoking Jacket Hello all. I am posting this here instead of in our other forums because I am not asking so much for fashion advice but thoughts on practicality. I just bought a pipe and am concerned about the smoke smell 'tainting' my clothes. I am curious if a smoking jacket is actually useful...

    Dollhouse

    I'm posting here rather than in the what TV shows have you watched recently thread, despite a brief foray into this topic there, because I do not wish to hijack. That being said, VICTORY! http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/05/dollhouse-second-season.html Dollhouse, brain child of oft abused Joss...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Fair point but Dollhouse is far from canceled. That was my only point. Hopefully this time around Fox will realize that Joss's shows need a season to get their sea legs. Buffy's first season was by no means spectacular but the later ones are TV history.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    A Russian mobster? A bold move for sure. Last show for me was (well is... yay multitasking) Big Bang Theory which is sadly the story of my live to a large extent.

    VI dress for a job interview?

    Thank you to everyone for your input and please keep it coming. One note: For what it matters--if at all--I have the infiltration. I am on a first name basis with the people who will be interviewing me. I have been a student employee with this department for four years (I'm the third most...

    VI dress for a job interview?

    I have an interview for a professional position at the University where I am currently paraprofessional student staff and wanted to know if a 'typical' VI outfit (3 piece suit, french cuffed shirt, tie, fedora) would be too much/over the top? Thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Converting an adjustable bow tie

    In my experience the adjustability is important. For one, neck sizes change much to our collective chagrin. For two, if the adjustment you have slips slightly when you tie it then adjust it back as tight as you like. To be somewhat blunt sewing a bow tie to a given length seems a fool's errand...
