I've only met gosurface once, but it does kind of look like him, especially a guy wearing sunglasses at a bad angle, and I'm Asian, so no need to go all ballistic.

+1 to the comments about the photography. It's like a copy of the sartorialist by someone who doesn't have the slightest appreciation for what the sartorialist does. (Not that I'm a fan necessarily, but at least I understand that he's more than just a dude with some half-baked opinions and a point-and-shoot he doesn't know how to use.) Photos out of freaking focus is embarrassing.

This is a gem:

Only a woman could take something as masculine as the blazer and wear it in a way that seems natural and feminine.

????? Because a man would try to take a blazer and wear it in a way that seems natural and feminine?

I thought the same thing when I read that. How the hell is a man supposed to make a blazer seem natural and feminine? Asinine.

This is a prime example of why blogs, in general, are just full of failure.

The subjects are excusable, he's in DC. Photography is not

Ha, that idiotic quote jumped out at me, too. Then I thought, "I guess he's never met Conne."
