What the hell is with the facial hair? The jazz musician lip fluff is just hilarious.

I think it's gross, personally. That's something that's always really bothered me.

people like Lapo are a good reason for the estate tax...

I don't mind strong property rights for people who earn their property, subject merely to a reasonable tax.... But I do mind strong property rights for people who merely inherit them.

i like that orange-ish suit, not the first blazer, but the photo where he's sitting. as for lapo... he always looks in need of a shower. and if it wasn't for the birth-right, wouldn't he just be some ******-chasing druggy. in short, i think he's a waste of space.

Is that a white bird or a pocket hankerchief or maybe both? Looks as big as a bed sheet.

I do a napkin fold, called bird of paradise. Looks a lot like that. Only better.

What's that old saying--if you try to be cool, you're not?

That pocket hanky is almost as big and as aerodymantic as a kite.

Ivan Kip, if your pocket hanky was anywhere as near as his it would be swiftly swept up by a Chicago wind and would never be seen again.

I've stopped wearing pocket squares. These pictures help me to remember, why.

I read his pocket square philososphy once. Something along the lines of "It must be white, and it must be exhuberant!"

I like the first jacket. I have an unconstucted cotton Isaia in the same color.

It's called a "soul patch"

^ Actually, I've seen the little patch of hair beneath the chin called an "Imperial" but I can' t find definitive proof of it.

Soul patch = Gregg Allman, Tom Waits, Dave Alvin, etc. A/K/A 'billy goat'
