Someone should write a book about the great American tailors and haberdashers, and soon -- before they're all dead.


Sy Devore was the Hollywood and Las Vegas tailor/haberdasher in the '50s. His more conservative Beverly Hills counterpart was Lou Tavelman. Anyone remember the Tavelman's store? Didn't think so.

Well, especially since he has already weighed in, my nomination for the first member is the honorable senator from New York. Kind of a no brainer.

That drink driven Jack Lemon-esque (when he grumbles about the world today) man that dresses like a knife cutting through a city made of butter nomination would make the second nomination.

We need 3 more Rat Packers. Are there any black Jewish Fedora Loungers around here? Can they sing?

Harry Lime is in the Pratt Pack, I believe.

I know there are no rat packers here as none of them know about the boutique that was at the Sahara in the 1960s. Called Maries or Marus. Surely the ladies were spending the dough while the guys were ....
My mission in life is to find out about that boutique.

Surely Marc, you know that this is not the correct answer to fill in the blank.

Its 'Surely the ladies were spending the dough while the guys were all too busy inspecting each others hats in the time honoured 'like dogs sniffing butts' type greeting process'
