I log on to Style Forum on the first Monday after Christmas and... nothing.
A post on the Edward Green sale that has languished at one page, with a sale list for 7.5E only. One - ONE! - photo of spoils in the shoe Appreciation thread. Not even gripes about the sale prices or the slim pickings. No Youtube video of strange men in old, fraying Carlo Franco Style Forum ties marching on Jermyn Street and elbowing their way to the shelves. Not even a photo of Aportnoy polishing all his shoes in preparation for what was once the most sacred day of the year.
Isn't this Style Forum, the vehicle that caused maniacal Internet feeding frenzies just a few years ago? The device that allowed a single sentence to make Ralph Lauren Purple Label salesmen's lives miserable all over the country, simultaneously, and devour sale stock in a matter of minutes?
What is going on? How have we sunk to this?
(Well, on my end, an academician does not have a lot of ammo, so that's my excuse. Someone please, please post more photos of shoe hauls.)
