    Ask a question, get an answer

    Actually, that would be a good excuse to go to NYC even for us folks that don't live there. I could probably manage a New York trip more easily than I could one of the Southern California events.

    Show us your TIES

    I realize it's a little early for Christmas, but I recently ran across this tie photo that I forgot I had. It's a hand-painted (airbrushed) Santa tie by yours truly. I painted it back in the mid-'90s for display when I worked one Holiday season airbrushing items in a local mall.

    Show us your vehicles

    This is both my and my wife's favorite vehicle, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, the original luxury SUV. Although clearly not Golden Era, it's certainly a classic with a body style that remained largely unchanged from it's introduction in 1963 till it's final year of production in 1991. Hollywood...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    I think you're being a little too critical of Reubens. If you've ever seen one of his very rare interviews given completely out of the Pee Wee character, he's quite reserved and intelligent. He also supposedly has one of the largest private collection of vintage toys. I personally think Pee...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Speaking of Pee Wee, I'm still wondering if Paul Reubens wasn't influenced for the Pee Wee character by this guy from the 1948 film Hollow Triumph (also known as "The Scar"). The likeness is uncanny at any rate.

    Diamonds in the Golden Era

    I was just watching a documentary on the DeBeers Diamond company and caught mention of something I found very interesting: The host of the show said that before the late 1940s that diamonds weren't really all that popular. That the ruby was the more popular stone, considered both rarer and more...

    Correct Punctuation

    Sorry, that's above my pay grade. I think I know how to correctly use them, but explaining it isn't so easy.

    What's for Dinner?

    Last night it was BLTs at Crunk Manor. Prolly gonna soon put on a crockpot of veggie soup for dinner this evening. A side of bacon would be good. Maybe some cornbread.

    Undershirts still rebellious?

    I too would like to know just what type of "undershirt" your mom had a problem with. To me a white tee shirt is just a white tee shirt whether it's worn underneath another shirt or not. Those sold as outerwear may be of a slightly heavier knit than those sold as underwear (shirts sold as...

    What's for Dinner?

    Tonight at Crunk Manor it's a Mexican feast: Spinach & cheese enchiladas smothered in salsa verde, with spanish rice and refrieds.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    OK, here's a strange and interesting film that a lot of people have probably never heard of in spite of the attachment of some pretty big names . . . Nothing Lasts Forever (1984) was produced by SNL Producer Lorne Michaels, Directed by SNL writer Tom Schiller, and features the likes of Bill...

    To suit or not to suit?

    If your current look seems to be working for you and your clients seem to like it, then why not carry on? I might suggest adding a suit or two for more formal meetings, especially evening functions where the sun is down and things are cooling off a bit. I don't know what your budget is, but...

    Delivery Uniform?

    These are available wholesale, but it looks like a minimum order is 300 pieces. You might try to find out who they sell to. or this one here. It's costume quality, but look like it retails for under $15.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Me yoo. Always. The new tagless tees are a vast improvement if you ask me. See, not all modern trends are bad.

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    A very big pet peeve of mine too. To me there is nothing more unflattering than a fat guy in trousers that are too small or a coat/jacket/suit that is too large. Guys who can't come to terms with the fact that their waist is no longer a size 34" and the only way they can continue to wear that...

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    I too take exception to the Hawaiian shirt comment. Hawaiian shirts are a perfectly acceptable form of fun casual summer attire - as long as they are worn untucked. (If I'm not mistaken, Thomas Magnum wore his tucked -eeck!)

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    Speaking of Hawaiian shirts, I learned a little while back that a friend of mine has a stash of about 1200 NOS authentic "Made in Hawaii" Hawaiian shirts (sizes Small - XL) that he would be willing to sell as a lot. A price would have to be negotiated, but if I could figure out a way to move...

    Painting "Nose Art" on back of A-2

    For the record, Big J, I too find nothing at all lacking in your "wordsmithery". Now to the subject at hand, I understand and agree 100% on pre-painted jackets. What's the point? Sure squadrons no doubt painted matching designs on their jackets, but 70 years later I hardly see the point in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Farewell My Lovely, the 1975 remake of Murder My Sweet (or the second film adaptation of the 1940 Raymond Chandler novel) with Robert Mitchum as an aging Philip Marlowe. Also has a small part by a very young Sylvester Stallone in one of his first film roles, and Harry Dean Stanton in an early...
