You must be looking really, really, really hard.

Eh. The short, skinny, slim look in the mainstream preceded Mad Men and can probably be traced to designers like Hedi Slimane.

First prize: getting to wear your sweatshirt with whatever pants you like for a day.
Second prize: getting to wear it for two days.

CVS cloth tape is involved?

Am I right?

That's third prize, which you've won. You can pick it up the next time you're in Central Park.

Do you miss riding a horse in Central Park as much as I do? Those frightening gallops back to the Claremont!

My grandmother learned to ride there. She became sad for several days when she heard of the last school closing.

The underlying presumption behind such a conclusion is that there is no objective aesthetic good achieved through classic tailored clothing and that it can only be 'good' against a certain social or historical context (making it costume). We could debate that presumption forever, but I don't think one can logically reach his assertion without some very overreaching premises regarding the nature of aesthetics and style.

Hence, both Manton and Fuuma are wrong and I win.

This is not a problem peculiar to Fumma, but rather to recent generations of people embracing a post-post-post-whatever the **** critical thought that is being pumped out from the embalmed world of academia. The entire notion of objectivity is cast in radical terms. No room is made to allow that what is pleasing can be separated from what "looks good" (i.e. what is aesthetically good). In short, nihilism is hip. But now I am just remembering my philosophizing over beers days as an undergrad....

WTF? You obviously didn't get an undergraduate in philo, there are standards...

Not fair. The glasses are undoubtedly Foo's homage to the late Jackie Kennedy, whom he probably admires despite his membership in the Federalist Society. Style over Substance! http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...w=1659&bih=846
