Are you are at the stage yet where you have a person showing your dogs?

That's what WASP crazies do.

No. People who show their animals are odd.

I agree completely.

I might just be having a mental blank, but I can't think of a 'best suit ever'. Certainly not one that I'd have a picture of, anyway.

I do very much like this -

I would, however, say that this is probably the best blazer/reefer that I've ever seen:



... which would also probably be disliked by many here. Hmm.

Well, usually, they have someone who does that for them...the ones who run around the arena, looking winded and who take care of the poop.

The owners are usually at cocktail parties a few states away...this would be a good model for you.

But I'm glad to hear that you haven't succumbed. The potential is there, though.

I wanted to post pics of Yves Montand in "the choice of arms" but can't find any with google images. Will try to get screenshots. I usually like what Peter Lorre is wearing. The thin man movies also had some good suits but, like the dialogue, they very well may be too perfect for my taste.

Our friends say that my wife and I ate straight out of the Thin Man, but instead of Asta, we have a small, human pet.

I believe Powell is in A&S, bit Ill check.
