Thanks! Mrs. Acridsheep, alas, did not have as much trouble.

Ironically, this is the exact same size suit as another that I post regularly that is SF-approved. That said, the pose just exacerbates a known issue at this point. Thanks for the props. I love the Nikon DSLR.

I thought about DTOing LD, but I would have selected a different photo, for about 9 million reasons.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that, while NOBD dresses well and occasionally hits it out of the ballpark, many of his fits here are pretty uninspiring. The dude has style, but IMO he garners compliments and challenge wins with his photography and Photoshop skills as much as his clothes.

Wore this out to dinner with a friend.

Bacall: No women?
Bogart: Well, I'm generally working on something most of the time.
Bacall: Would that be stressed to include me?
Bogart: I like you. I told you that before.
Bacall: I liked hearing you say it.
Bogart: _Mm.
Bacall: But you didn't do much about it.
Bogart: Neither did you.
Bacall: Well, speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I'd like to see them work out a little first to see if they are front runners or come from behind, find out what the whole card is, what makes them run.
Bogart: Find out mine?
Bacall: I think so.
Bogart: Go ahead.
Bacall: I'd say you don't like to be rated. You'd like to get out in front, open up a lead, take a little breather in the backstretch and, and come home free.
Bogart: You don't like to be rated yourself.
Bacall: I haven't met anyone yet who could do it. Any suggestions?
Bogart: Well, I can't tell 'til I've seen you over distance of ground. You got a touch of class but... I don't know, how far you can go?
Bacall: That depends on who's on the saddle, Marlowe. I like the way you work. In case you don't know, you're doing all right.
Bogart: There's one thing I can't figure out.
Bacall: What makes me run?
Bogart: Uh huh.
Bacall: I'll give you a little hint. Sugar won't work. It's been tried.

I was all set to do the collar pin too, but realized after I'd gotten dressed that this shirt's collar is too wide spread for it. Oh well.

Doral, hope you dump that vest. Not flattering.
Markmont, add a white bd under that and it'd be a lot better. Well, socks too and a little trouser length.
Orget you look good with a smile.

Predictable? Yes. I mean who else would I DTO for this celebrity challenge? Spoo and I joked around about Gianni Versace but in the end I went with the man, though fictional, who embodies, for me, all the stylistic qualities that I admire. I would have gone with my father had he been a celebrity, as he too worked in the ad world during the 60's, so I went with the next best and closest representative: Don Draper, because his style is a clean, sharp aesthetic, at the same time cool and slick yet understated and conservative. And let's face it, the man is a bad ass player.

Ha, ha. Birdman. That was my second choice! Nice job with the cornflakes and the camera angle.

Michael Caine with his tailor Douglas Hayward circa 71. Very hard to get the vintage details correct. Not everyone has flares with piping.

I did not say his fit was my fave of the bunch, but his obviously awesome production. I am not going to disagree with your assertions for this very reason. However, he definitely has his thing, and is able to make it work for many of the Challenges. I feel really outclassed this week. All I did was shoot some pics last night while enjoying some cocktails. I did not think people were going to take it to this level!

Don't worry Orge, we're all playing for second this week.

Also, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but that one pose, with the smoke, you could kind of pass for a slightly less foppish Pee Wee Herman.

SpooPoker · Feb 25, 2011

I'm jammed at work, but monitoring this challenge closely. Pretty sure that this early in the game even, this may be the best entries for any challenge ever. EVER. TTO - sorry dude. MBreinin - sorry my ******* rolex just doesn't cut it for you. NOBD - I'll pay you for Photoshop lessons. Acrid - smile moar. Pand - good call. Harvey - you look nothing like I expected. Ian - some faces look better covered up

Dude! I love you for this! Only wish your tie was a tad slimmer but as others have said the Union Jack Gretsch(?) is all sorts of mod win!!!!

aeglus · Feb 25, 2011

I'm pretty sure NOBD gets praise more because his stuff fits well and looks good. His photoshops add to it but you can't make your clothes fit via and look good via photoshop alone.

NOBD · Feb 25, 2011

I understand what Orgetorix says. The thing is, I don't have to dress up for work and I like simple (zzz) stuff. The challenges—for me—are about having fun; that's why I try to come up with something 'new', whenever I get the chance.

This one started out with the Bullitt-outfit, then I thought a background would be nice, and after that the idea of the film poster came to mind. It combines three (or even four) things I like: clothing, photography and graphic design (and fooling around with language).
