Okay, now you're creeping me out. Go to bed, it's a school night, and dream of Artisans.

Or more likely Dillinger's formaldehyde soaked cock.

I think the one that looked like a parquet floor was my favorite.

I am not convinced that's completey true.

Anyway, If you are not a fan of my writing, I understand. Perhaps a different author is more to your liking?

This essay is an Englishman's take on West End style:

FNB, I think both, you and TL, rock the joint, like LL Cool the bells, in Queens 1985.

I would also like, to promo my, own :

Vaclav, is spiritual as hell
Battle anybody I don't care who you tell

I'm gonna crack shells, Double-V must rock the bells ..

A friend suggested that Lanvin also has or had some foreign clients who are able regularly to place very large orders -- storybook nabobs who reputedly wear shirts once, that sort of thing. (Similarly, I am certain that Hilditch & Key Paris' bespoke operations -- which are separate from those of its UK parent -- are completely dependent on their hundreds of orders annually from Mr. Lagerfeld.) At the same time, my friend suggests that the owners of Lanvin aren't particularly interested in supporting the bespoke operations, so things may sort of be drifting.
Isn't Gelot another of those English imports as I've seen Gelot hatboxes with By Appointment to King Edward written on them.
