Random fashion thoughts

^ I lived in Barcelona for a bit, though, so I always read it in the Spanish pronunciation since it's, well, Spanish.

I've been less and less interested in posting as time goes on, but I'm happy with all the dope **** I have. I still appreciate **** but it's taken a back seat to other things.

Clothes and accessories have been my obsession from since I was in, about grade 4, when I went to Hong Kong, and really, had the express interest in getting a lot of Polo. My aunt said that people from Canada were way behind (not a lie, especially in the early 80s), and from then on, I read everything about fashion, and menswear in particular, obsessively. So, doubt that I'll get tired of clothes.

My personal style has been evolving only very slowly, and I'm very comfortable with that, but I'm very always interested in incorporating new elements, changing my silhouette subtly, etc... And my interest in the industry in general, especially the more and more I am part of that, grows more and more. I think that it's pretty common to have interest in hobbies wax and wane, but a passion never goes away, especially when there is something that sustains it.

My order at Luisa via roma whateva shipped today, 9 days after I ordered. Is that normal for them?

Usually, they are a bit faster, but they are getting tons of new stuff in, and I'm sure that their fulfillment department is scrambling, especially since it seems that their online and offline inventories are not separate, and the store is fairly large and always busy (unlike some other stores, which are small, have lull periods, and it's easy to pull merchandise).

brad, i think you mean TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great, man. With all the cool **** you own, you could look pretty badass riding a ninja. Right now I´ve got a small yamaha fz16, which was great to start with because it´s only 150 cc (plus, it´s a cool looking bike at a very good price), but the kawasaki ninja has a been a favorite of mine for some time. Here I think you can get the 250 for around US$8000.

Haha, I used to own an s13/sil80, and it definitely didn't save me money. Don't think I know anybody with a 240 who saves money because of it. But Lane, you'll love the bike, and it seems like it would fit you pretty well.

air-mess is the correct pronunciation

Posted on Chausser shoes over at the Styleforum blog. Some pretty good Men's Clothing type posts up there recently from Derek Guy if you haven't been checking it out.

it is

Then you look silly whenever you discuss Air-mess.

The fact is you can't easily convey the proper pronunciation via text. But "air-mess" is not the closest approximation.

They have the standardized international phonetic alphabet or whatever for that, but I don't know it.
