Fuuma's rating:

1) Santino
2) Foo
3) Ontario
4) Ebaygeek
5) Trepanier

I'm really tired of that Ivy Americana thing, it gotta die soon. I wish Dan had done the 60s TB thing, it's still ok on my book if done well and there's a 99% chance he loves TB, they all do.

Ontario did. Santino's too short to wear jeans so loose. But they did bring a little cool, which I realize some people are against.

The set is really, really tiny--as tiny as my foyer.



Everyone has more AAAC points than me.


Congrats for going through with it Matt.

+1, though the pants seemed long.

It speaks volumes about how well he dresses to have been selected in the top 5, to transcend trend. I'm sure even he would have been disappointed to have been named america's, for all intensive purposes, "trendiest" guy.
You've been drinking the lee_44106 coolaid too? You do realise that he is a sorry excuse for excrement, no?

I thought Onterio was the best by a bit, with Foo coming a close second.

Santino's jacket def had forum approved texture and shape. He looks charming and comfortable, well as comfy as you can be if involved in this stuff.

I thought the jacket was fresh and the scarf also, the jeans were too baggy.

Foo:

Congrats. You know that the clothes you wear are closer to those the foraz appreciate than any other contestants'.

To make the Top 5 out of thousands of applicants in a selection process which involves the input of a lot of people who may not know anything about how to dress is quite an achievement.

Foo congrats again for being a finalist. I did not like Dan's attire at all, but I did like Kevin's. Kevin didn't help himself by not being able to respond to the question, but I thought his attire was sharp.

The wash wasn't good either. I'd have liked him in something like 45RPM Jomons.

I don't even know who that is. Just what I think...please don't make me out to be some racist prick, because nothing could be farther from the truth. I just made an observation made by someone who claimed race was why Foo wasn't picked. That's bullshit, I think therems more koolaid drinkers here than would be comfortable to admit, over countless issues, backgroud to be one of them.
