When did you go? Are you a Leeds alumni?

I remember one episode of Big bang theory where Raj was rocking a pink suit with blue t shirt,so you might consider that as an option too.

I have a pair of light pink linen trousers ... and a matching linen coat. I wear them both, but have never worn them as a suit.

There's this thing in Philly called the Zombie Crawl. A bunch of aging hipsters dress up as Zombies. I could see this suit working well there covered in blood and gore.

With an Oscar Wilde quote in your signature I'd think you would be more progressive!

Pink works great for my skin tone.

She lived in a nice part of Leeds and the next morning we got some breakfast in a pub frequented by very conservative types in blazers and khakis. I walked in wearing this crumpled pink suit, smudged eyeliner and "club crap" on the bottom of my trousers and shoes. Totally "rocked it".

Long time ago 1999....The things you do when your young.


Now there's a story!
