Yes, a rather sexual title.

Perhaps SoCal2NYC can offer his opinion here, but cucumbers, etc. are used for other purposes as well.

I think he says "weskit". Maybe he's trying to sound Savile Row.

Matt,

That's rather denigrating... I'm surprised at you. New Yorkers are trying to do something with men's style rather than succumbing to the current culture of "who cares". It might not be the latest in totally correct SF standards, but, I think you will agree, that it is an effort to do more in the looking good category. With that in mind, I think the people whom the reporter is focusing on deserve some recognition.

I don't think he was talking about the actual pictures... just about the writes whole 'trying-to-sound-like-he's-some-great-menswear-afficianado-when-hes-really-not-type-deal'
