    Cowboy Boots

    I love western boots--they are a true American classic. I buy good ones--Tony Lamas--but don't obsess with it. Spending too much on exotic, rare, custom boots is a little creepy to me, and counter to the spirit that inspired them in the first place. Similarly, while I am obsessed with...

    Bombay Saphire Martini at Drago Centro--delish, despite the 100 degree weather

    What are you listening to?

    One of my favorite albums--"Rough Mix" by Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. Great stuff. Really great stuff. But, then, I am a big Who and Small Faces fan. My baby gives it up, every day......

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My teenaged daughter asked me to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's with her. Had forgotten just how stylish the movie is. Great stuff.

    It is BRUTAL in Los Angeles--hot, as it always is, but humid as well

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A lovely bone dry Cotes de Provence. Here in LA is is still summer in full force--fall can't come soon enough, but until it does, summer drinks are in order!

    What are you listening to?

    My mix at the moment is early Glenn Miller (Glen Island Casino stuff), Quadrophenia (album, not film), Matt Monro, Glenn Gould (Bach's Goldberg Variations) and X (again, early works--Los Angeles, etc.). Crazy mix, but there you have it....

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Tea for Two with Doris Day, Joel McCrea and Eve Arden--not a great film, but worth it to see Arden's acerbic wit in full play.

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    Now that summer is in full swing here in So Cal, I think that refreshing old school scents like Guerlain's Eau de Cologne Imperiale, Trumper's Limes (ditto Floris, Royall, etc.) and newer classics like Hermes' Eau de Verte Orange are great options to stay cool, crisp and smelling good in the...

    Perry Mason's shirt--only in Los Angeles!

    [/IMG] Was just in a local thrift shop and found this. In 1969, Raymond Burr had just been on "It Takes a Thief" and was about to go on the Red Skelton Hout TV show. I don't know much about the shirtmaker except that they did a lot of custom work in Hollywood--Burt Reynolds' Machin shirt...

    Chivas Regal and soda--made me think of my late father, whose favorite it was.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I have one almost exactly like this. I made it into a bar. Replaced the shelves with glass, added a light inside and my wife put a really cool fabric on the back of the inside--works really well! Great find--enjoy the piece!
