Agreed. I can never get the image out of my head of seeing him with Murakami during the "Eye Love You" days at LV when he had those gross curls and his gut hanging over his monogram belt. Eek!

IN any case, he's doing well now for being in his forties. Although, Dame Karla still gets the cake for still looking alive even though he's as old as the hills; I think he designed the uniforms for the Crimean War.

@ bluscuro
- Took your advice & picked (ordered last Thursday from P.lal - what fantastic service) 3 pairs of C&J shoes (may not be up to the Shoe Appreciation standard - but it's a start for me).

Excellent choices Phat Guido!

Is your Belgrave in polo suede or leather?

I love Karla. I'm sure underneath it all he's a nice person.
