Retirement is inevitable for everyone. I am old now, and seeing the Johnny Cash "Hurt" video has really got me thinking about my mortality a lot these days. When I was a brash young kid, the boards were mischievous fun. Crazy posts back on Infirm and Yahoo. Hold on . . . I'm sorry . . . I think I have something in my eye . . . Anyway, let us not look to the past. What's done is done. I have a few loose ends I need to tie up here, one of which is my fashion poll. Here is the update so far:

I chose Romeo Gigli to be my exclusive designer.

GGG chose Sean Jean, which is P Diddy's line, for those who do not know.

e/o chose either Alberta Ferretti of Narcisco Rodriguez.

brc chose Valentino.

Not From Here likes Valentino but thinks the clerks are bitches.

Not a bad start, but we could use some more responses. C'mon people. Help me out here - just this one last time . . .

Whoever the Asian designer was that did most of Carolyn Bessette's wardrobe. I dont actually own anything by him, but she was always dressed impeccably.

Stay. Go. I don't care.

Just remember to submit your parody on the way out.

Edited to add:

It's Alberta Ferretti OR Narcisco Rodriguez.

Sebby got out? Or is it just wishful thinking on his part? Curious minds want to know.

Armani.

edit: Now is someone going to analyze the choices and tell us what it says about us?

You and your pussy need to stay right here on this board. I don't want to hear any more of this retirement drivel. It's so Michael Jordan.

Ok, but you owe me a bag of Paprika Doritos. Alfred Dunhill. I like boring English clothes. And most Italian designs clash with my wholesome boyish good looks. For less formal occasions, such as hanging out at the bus stop across the street from the junior high, I go with the tried and true Hot Topic.

'Cuz, if not, the joke is kind of cheap.

Okay, I'll take the bait. Why shouldn't we? An awful lot of us come from folks who arrived here under just that system.

Since apparently you are unable to exert yourself to go over to the board in question, I have cut and will now paste the sole post on the board, which of course is his as he is the moderator:

Get Me Out Of This Shit Career Post #

The primary reason that most of us are stuck and spinning our wheels trying to make the leap of of law is that no other field appears to pay people with our background as well as law and experience in law is only attractive to other legal employers. So we're stuck with the golden handcuffs...

If you look at the books titled "What You Can Do With a Law Degree" you'll find most of the suggested options unappealing and economically unsatisfying. Teaching and non-profit work are not options for most of us. In-house work is next to impossible to find these days.

The trick for most of us is to leave law and make reasonably close to what you're making in law, or at least have the opportunity to make reaonably close to what you make in law within a reasonable period of time.

OK, so the information we need is two-fold:

(a) What fields can we go into which will provide us with pay comparable to law; and

(b) What are the hot geographic markets for these fields?

So if you have a substantive answer to this question -- hopefully with numbers behind it -- post it.

I'm guessing that no, he has not gotten out and in fact he seems not even to have advanced any in his quest to get out. He's asking the same futile questions. It's even more pathetic than I would have thought, and I expected a lot of patheticness.

Sears.

I love the lifetime guaranty Craftsman underwear.

Last time I crossed the US border by car, my license was still sufficient to establish legal US residency with the INS/customs. It would also enable holders to move pretty freely to any other US state and trade in their CA drivers license for a license from any other state, given that "reciprocity" thing.

You make a good point about using a driver's license to get into/out of Canada (I'm assuming -- I think you'd need a little more than that to get into the US from Mexico, but I don't know.) But US citizenship is most definitely NOT a requirement for obtaining a driver's license. My children's babysitter's daughter is not a US citizen (nor a resident), but she got a license by showing her passport as ID with no problem.

When my foreign relations were here (legally -- on student visas, mostly) and other foreign friends who were here for extended periods of time (again, legally), many of them got US driver's licenses without any difficulty at all (and I don't recall any of them having to show their valid visas or passports, but that's a detail I might not remember with perfect clarity). In fact, two people who I can think of had Spanish and UK driver's licenses (respectively) and all they had to do was present them and were issued NJ driver's licenses.

Maybe they've changed the rules since 9/11.

I answered this already, so I will now put in my vote for fashion journalist. Can CNN please bring back "Style with Elsa Klensch"? Sure, she was relentlessly fawning, but wasn't that rather charming when she was honor-bound to gush over $3000 "grunge"?

E!'s fashion programs just suck. And don't even get me started on QE's Carson. Someone who dresses so self-consciously wacky and cutesy has no business dressing anyone else. Ever. Particularly after that wearing that peculiarly Hollie Hobbie patchwork shirt.

I am torn on this one. I want to say the designer of my wedding dress, which part of me thinks would be cool to wear all the time, but even though practicality wasn't supposed to be a consideration, I wouldn't *really* want to have to complete all my daily tasks in a corset and bustle. It also seems kind of Friends circa 1997. So, for the full spectrum of formal to lounge-wear, plus lingerie and bathing suits and the like (although the latter don't fit me because they're designed for the less enowed) I would go with Ralph Lauren.
