You’re a good man @upr_crustThis evening, I will be experiencing my first Zoom party, hosted by the Frick Collection in appreciation of its members, of which I am one. The invitation said "Festive Attire Encouraged", which, with this year's dearth of parties, was like waving a red cape at a bull, at least for me, hence the pile of glad rags assembled for today.
Prior to getting attired for this evening festivities, I made good use of a snow shower-y afternoon in NYC, and sorted through my sports jackets and odd trousers, sorting out those to be donated to charity - a photo is included below.
I've included a photo of the chest of drawers in front of which I photograph myself, as some of you have expressed an interest in seeing the chest without me getting in the way. It's also been decorated for the season - the glowing bit in the middle is a Simon Pearce glass tree, wrapped in tiny lights on copper wires.
I've also included a photo of me toasting you all for the season.
