Woody Allen as a style icon

Good god, he looks like an Open University lecturer.

It's the 1965 Jewish Schlub Look.

Whenever I have seen him in person he always looks like he went to some effort to look like a slob. That may be so he is less recognized? He is no style icon. He just wore what everyone else was wearing and never changed. Including the fact that most things never fit him very well to begin with.

He is consistant with his look.
But his look is sloppy.
Comfortable, acceptable (just barely),
but sloppy.

I dig it.

You really don't know anything about modern America, do you?

I agree it's not right to regard him as a style icon. Even in his heyday, when his creepiness was edgy and not made disgusting by reports of his behavior with young relatives, even then he made his living as an underdog and something of an ass. He was remarkable for being small and nervous. If you like his style, that's good; it's good to know what you like. But he has never been an icon in the sense of the usual leading men who inspire others to emulate them. I mean seriously who grew up wanting to be Woody Allen?

There are not only no right-wingers left in Maine, there are no bankers either.

Also, the number of right-wing bankers nationally I would put at less than 50%. Preppy bankers, less than 5%.

Are you getting all defensive again? Use this next time:

You guys slay me. So you are unaware that "America" is used -- and has been used for centuries -- by hundreds of millions of people every day to refer to the United States? But when I say it, it is suddenly offensive to all of Latin America, which you angrily rise to defend? I hope you'll both be consistent and start policing this usage wherever you see it. Let us know how that goes!

Any weapon at hand boys, any weapon at hand.

And radicaldog, you're usually not this much of an asshole but when you swing low, it's not pretty. (George OTOH is a prick most of the time.) Seriously, you appear to know nothing about the northeast, nothing about American (OMG he did it again!) bankers, and nothing about preppies. The more you post, the more you make that clear.


You really are a PoS.
