    Cologne and perfume

    Have been wearing Caron's 1934 classic "Pour un Homme" lately; really amazing how vintage--and yet modern--it is. Not a big lavender fan, but in this one it is really nice, once it settles down.

    The Mummy clothes

    I have to say that on this topic--or slightly off this topic--that the clothes that David Manners wears in the original The Mummy were spectacular--there was a dinner jacket that he wears, the cut of which takes your breath away....

    Post New Hats Here!

    Just bought a new Stetson Temple in Caribou. Great workhorse of a hat. May get it in Mink, too.

    McSorley's gets a dusting.

    For any SoCal Loungers, there is a wonderful oil painting of McSorley's in the Huntington Library collection in San Marino (near Pasadena). Painted in 1928 by artist John Sloan, it is called 'McSorley's Cats" and yes, the dust was there even then. I love the place and actually made it a stop...

    What are you listening to?

    In honor of the day, I listened to Glenn Miller's Londonderry Air yesterday--I have a few versions, one of which is with his Air Force band.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just rewatched a great movie from 1984--Alan Rudolph’s Choose Me is a wonderful, exceptionally original film. With a close-knit cast that is comprised of an ex-prostitute barkeep (Lesley Ann Warren), an escaped mental patient who is a pathological liar (Keith Carradine), and a radio talk show...

    Khakis/chinos To crease or not to crease

    Most of mine are pleated and yes, they have sharp creases. The only one i might not press/crease are a pair of flat fronts I have.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched "Blues in the Night," that 1940's Warner Brothers' film noir musical--yes, film noir musical. Songs--including title song, by Arlen and Mercer. A must see.

    Favorite Holiday-Time Treats?

    My favorite is that old chestnut--actual chestnuts roasted over an open fire. We have a great roasting pan and chestnut scoring knife from Williams-Sonoma (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/search/results.html?words=de%20buyer%20chestnut%20roasting%20pan). They really are delicious, are fun to...

    Favorite classic horror movies

    One of my favorites is the 1932 classic "The Mummy." The cut of the tuxedo that David Manners wears literally takes my breath away. Vera West is credited with costumes which ususally means gowns worn by the women in the cast. I don't know who Manners' tailor was but the results were great.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Around this time of year, Christmas episodes of favorite TV shows are great to watch. My favorite, which I watched last night, is the Avenger's holiday offering, "Too Many Christmas Trees" which features Steed and Mrs. Peel in Dickensian garb. Steed gets a Christmas card from Cathy Gale, doing...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched the 1940 sleeper "Second Chorus" with Fred Astaire and Paulette Goddard--great movie, not a particularly big hit in its day. Wonderful scenes with Artie Shaw who plays himself in the movie--this seems to have been to Artie Shaw what "Sun Valley Serenade" and "Orchestra Wives" were...
