Sea Island cotton is wonderful, but Swiss cotton or Egyptian is even better. Definitely not an every day shirt, because one coffee spill and the shirt's history, but for dressier occasions, they're worth the extra bucks.

Shirts are not bought because they're "hot." Except by bankers, who everybody knows are the kind of kackasses who would buy shirts because they're hot.
Scusi, wonk do you have a link to the snaffle bit? I'm on the gucci website and not having much luck at it.

The Assistant Secretary of the corp brought two other people over to a conf room to see my outfit last Friday, she liked it so much. I think the outfit is a little cutesy, but people stop me on the street to compliment the skirt. Maybe CC is into cutesy. I also got two snaps from my former admin asst.

'Although not technically a veterinarian, Britney Spears posted a tribute to tigers on her website yesterday, rambling incoherently on their hypnotic and mysterious presence. Behold the beauty of childlike stupidity:

"In some ways, people are a lot like animals. I'm mesmerized by tigers. Their eyes, their stripes, their constant quest for survival. They almost have a sense of mysteriousness about them. They pull you in and make it difficult to look away. They make you wonder what is behind their gaze. A sense of eerie awe comes over you in their presence. The fear they give you when you pass them is stunning. Behold the beauty of the tiger."

This is news to me, but apparently you can't walk 10 feet in Malibu without tripping over a tiger, and the fear they give you when you pass them is stunning. Someone might want to explain that her HDTV isn't a window. Those cowboys and spaceships and tigers, that's just a TV show, hun. That's not all happening on the beach behind your house. She must have been so disappointed the time she ran outside to meet Jesus. "But he'wa jus here. Come back, Jesus, come baack!"'

For women. Note that they have a couple different offerings. They also have a moc with snaffle bit and the classic greeen and red ribbon.

For men. As you can see, the selection is quite broad.

I got laid last night and this morning, and then I got worried that I just like my boyfriend for his penis. Because if he had a small penis there is no way we would be together -- and we both know that. However, things are fine, because right now I am very preoccupied with activities that don't involve spending time with my boyfriend for anything other than sex and a occasional dinner. So there you are.

Same here. The 1 pair of Church's I owned took 7 years to break in and 7 more months for the uppers to break apart.

I was thinking of buying a pair of Alden Cordovan oxfords but if I hear that they are hot, that won't work.

I'll wait until I am back at the Allen Edmonds outlet in Wisconsin in December.
