Jacques Marie Mage - Wolves, Obnoxious Acetate and The American Dream

I don’t understand the intent of this comment.

Someone took my selfie stick comment seriously I guess.

A couple of weeks ago I took a pic of my collection but didn’t post it as it didn’t come out great. There’s been a change since then, as I sold the Plaza in the forefront to @ShipItBalla, and previously I had also sold him my Dealan argyle (don’t hesitate to do business with him!).

Back to front and left to right:

Taos hickory (with light brown lenses), indigo and sunkiss.

Walker argyle, Fellini noir 7 (with grey to clear transitions), Ascari leopard (with black lenses).

Enzo noir X and Plaza beluga.

Great pic there.
Always good to see a full and varied collection - are you slowing down your acquisitions or still on the hunt for grail versions?

Use the ******* selfie stick. Stop gatekeeping stupid ****.

Yeah so no. As one of the more senior members here, the folx on this here electronic bulletin board look to me to make sure we’re all cool to each other. I know that communicating through the World Wide Web (www) leaves out contextual communication clues, but your comment comes off as rude. NOT OK! With all my respect, keep this top of mind and do better. Thanks for understanding.

P.S. If the bulletin board misinterpreted your comment that was meant as sarcasm, please disregard the above. (Please note that sarcasm posts should be labeled as such at the end with the goofy-eyed emoji (those little yellow cartoon characters) and “\sarcasm/“)

I APPROVE THIS COLLECTION! Thoughtful and balanced. My favorite is the Walker in Argyle. I have the same frame. Walker was meant to be in argyle. On this there can be no debate!

I’m patiently waiting for new colourways for the Ascari… as far as I know, hickory, rootbeer, argyle, whiskey… have never been used in it and I’m not sure why. For now I’m loving the leopard ones much more than I thought I would, although “lava” would be a much more fitting name as that’s what it looks like.

I’d love a smaller Hemmings but that ain’t happening.

I was thinking of swapping the lenses to light brown as I did with my argyle Dealans… maybe that’s sacrilegous?

I once emailed JMM (that’s ‘Jacques Marie Mage’ for anyone looking in who doesn’t understand the abbreviation) to try and get some understanding from the horse’s mouth about why some frames have multiple varied colours and others only black and brown, and why some frames remain in production for years (Dealan) while others are just dropped and vanish (Fitzgerald).

As you can probably guess the answer I got was so vague it was meaningless. Similarly I asked about a certain pic ‘someone’ sent me of what looks like a Molino in lapis from a trunk show (😉) and was told there are no plans to make that frame in that colour, sometimes they do a prototype that does not go into production. Just some info worth keeping in mind in case anyone sees an unofficial pic of a grail combo and is waiting eagerly (as I was!) to see it up for sale.

I think a rose gradient with a flash mirror of gold on amber transitions is perfect for the argyle Walker. Alpha as the whipper snappers say now.

How do you DARE to speak to me like that as I am a page 9-er? Know thy place newbie, and kneel before your elders.

I like them a lot, just not on me.
I have Dealan ,1948, and Comanche
that I wear in rotation.

Ok ok. You had your fun. Now let’s return to the proper solemnity.

And just so you know, I purchased my first JMM (Jacques Marie Mage) in summer 2020, which corresponds to page 1 of this here electronic bulletin board. Plus, I own a Jax which is a 2017 model. So, you see, I have some serious cred and rizz, as you whipper snappers say! But that’s neither here nor there so thank you very much!
