New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Thank you for your welcoming invitation. I have introduced myself in the powder room but shall do so here now in the Observation Bar. I suppose the term which defines me most accurately is "aesthete". My love for proportion, harmony, symmetry, consonance, euphony -in short what Nietzsche...- klind65

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Hello. Last night we watched " Animal Kingdom" starring Leslie Howard , Ann Harding and Myrna Loy, from the 1930's. We were watching it for a second time because we love the undercurrent of unrequited desire and longing running throughout it. Fine performances of course, and Mr. Howard remains...- klind65

Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?
Thanks so much for the photo. You look amazing!! Where did you get that hat? Like you, I always wear hats and gloves everywhere. I once had a hat with a full veil but had trouble keeping the veil up when I was eating or drinking! Kind wishes, klind65- klind65

Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?
Be true to your convictions... Hello. To directly answer the question, yes, I would like to wear the neck furs from the 20's with the head and tail and feet attached. I know where to get them and probably will one day wear them.... the only thing which causes me to hesitate is the possiblility...- klind65

WWII Reenactment Pics
Thank you for your reply. I notice that you are in Louisville. That is my hometown! Are there many people in Louisville who attend reenactments, or simply folks who are enthusiasts of bygone eras - to the best of your knowledge? Kind wishes, klind65 -
WWII Reenactment Pics
Thank you for the information. I now have a better idea. I also want to compliment you on your personal quote about chivalrous behavior. It is a choice today, but I think that by and large, at least among the upper classes of the past, it was de riguere and learned by little boys growing up... -

The Return of The Three Piece Suit
Hello. Would you mind speaking a bit about the sartorial standards in Holland? Things being at a nadir here in the USA, I have been trying to discover whether things are better in Europe. One young chap I know attended school in Holland several years back and said he felt people there made more... -

The Return of The Three Piece Suit
Couldn't agree more Vous avez raison, Monsieur! The three piece suit is hard to beat. If I may be frank: I hate, loathe and abominate the plethora of ill-dressed cads that I see daily on the streets of New York. They look nauseatingly puerile and jejune - like kindergarteners really in their... -
WWII Reenactment Pics
Question Hello. May I pose a question? I have heard for years now about WW2 re-enactments. As I prefer past eras I am always looking for ways to "go back in time" and really bring the past to life, so to speak. Are re-enactments the answer? I know next to nothing about them. Are they a... -

Why leather soled dress shoes?
Bete noir. Hello. I applaud your recent acquisition at Allen Edmonds. They are gorgeous. Also try Brooks Brothers - their wingtips and captoe styles have no equal. As a female, I am strangely attracted to men's shoes. I haven't explored this very deeply yet, but it amuses me. However, I must...- klind65

Who Does Without TV?
Gave it up Growing up, I read books which denounced television for its mind numbing and subliminal effects. I also realized that there are so many better things to do with my time. For example, my family and I are enthusiasts of board games. Learn to play bridge or chess or backgammon! etc...- klind65
