I wonder what the other $20 000 of the $30 000 prize consists of? There's no way fashion week seats cost that much, right?

I'd love to add Mafoofan on Facebook now, but am too shy. I'll stick to being a SF fan.

I wasn't responding about the contestant. I haven't even read the Daily News article. I was responding to the poster who said:

I think this is the funniest observation of the bunch. Foo - you're going to have to pay income tax on this ****. Should you persevere over Dan "basketball scholarship at Columbia" T, this contest is going to COST you money.

You can decline the prize and not pay income tax on it. Just accept all your payment in glory.

He should just trade in the $20,000 or whatever in Kenneth Cole in to them for $15,000 back. Just give them a premium and they would probably accept the deal.

Do Esquire know how close they make the name for this contest(BDRM) to BDSM? Maybe intentional for fun like Metallica S&M album?

Hm. Interesting. This might be good advice for beginners on styleforum

A shopping rule?

If I like something too much off the rack, I don’t buy it. If I like a tie or a pocket square too much, it tends to be something that looks better by itself.
