Just wait until Paul buys his first pair of John Lobb's.

I'm waiting for him to post how much he earns.

He is in the wine business for goodness sakes. The difference between 7 and 8 figures is only a single zero.

I rocked the Jack last night for dinner at Il Mercato - polo shirt, shorts, flip flops.

Less than if I was not in the wine business that's for damn sure.

A friend had on a pair of Edward Green Ashby antique leather shoes yesterday at our off-line luncheon.

Color me green with envy.

I have shared many a bottle of wine with TPE, Jorgerunfast and Futronic ( all fashion whores) and while I have never had the pleasure of meeting Rob Sutherland ( soon I hope) I'm confident one might have had experience with this shoe.

Any comments on this shoe, gentleman?

Never tried on an Ashby, most single monks don't do it for me (though the EG Oundle is very pretty). I was always more of a Westminister type of guy. If you like that single style take a look at G&G's Regency as well.

I'm lusting after some Cleverley Churchills or EG Kibworths at the moment.

And yes, we most certainly have to get together for an offline some day soon!

I bought a brand new pair of tennis shows a few weeks back.

But what kind were they? Did you buy them for their fit or their colour?

Fit. Always fit.

shoe guys - you have to put'Crazy Stupid Love' in your netflixs queue.

"Are you Steve Jobs?"
"No"
"Then you should never wear those shoes in public"

Never watched the movie... sounds like a movie for the plane, thanks.

Love that pair of redheads!

Hmmm. I will download this movie against my better judgement ( not a Carell fan) but do enjoy a number of the other actors in this movie.

I have too many flights the first two weeks of October, so will give this film a shot.

For those of you that are offended by 'improper attire', where do you fall on the topic of neck/arm/facial tattoos?

http://wonderwall.msn.com/musi...tattoo-1776734.story

Nah, I think that's just wrong.

Granted, if the place has, say, a no jeans or sneakers plus jacket required policy, and "Filter Drummer" walks in with his skinny jeans, mesh tank top, and wallet chain - sayonara, bitch!

But I take issue with the tattoo thing.

For the sake of arguing with myself, though, I'm not sure I'd love some mara 18 member with a tatted face and head in my restaurant - regardless of what he's wearing.

I'm more offended that it was a chain restaurant with someone at the door. Who would go to such a place?

Seriously, the place has "Bar and Grill" in the name, and you turn someone away for being tatted??

usually it's to check for underage drinking ids =)

I have a tattoo that is visible if I’m not wearing a watch. Very different than one on my neck, but I would be shocked if that precluded me from entering a restaurant. Jeans or flips flops stopping me from getting in? Fine, but well dressed and visible body adornment? Not fine.

I have to say, I don’t really understand neck tattoos though. Sleeves, fine, but neck?!? What are his grandkids going to think? Then again, I can’t wait to the day I can shove something through my septum piercing and freak out my grandkids (hoping that I ever have any).

This sounds pretty hypocritical to me.

It's not meant to be. I just see it as if a restaurant wants to make a rule about clothes and you don't fit it you can go home and change if you really want to go there. You can't remove your tattoo in time for dinner...

One is a fixable change to a decision you made at the most hours ago, the other is unfixible to a decision you might have made decades ago.

But I can see and understand you view.

That is because it is not whatsoever, Rob.

Private and public businesses have dress codes and have the right as well including many forms of body art.

I have friends that work for the FBI, local police enforcement and the CIA. None of them can have tattoos or piercings that are visible while on duty other than special circumstance.

I think a restaurant not allowing someone with body art to dine is foolish and silly, but their choice. I had MUCH rather see restaurants take a stance on cell phones.

You may have misinterpreted what he said.

Agree for sure. Only exception for doctors.

As to tattoos and body piercings, about 25% of Americans ages 15-50 have at least one. That's quite a big chunk of the population.

I had a client once with all sorts of metal piercings and tattoos. Injured in a motorcycle crash. (Imagine that). I told him he had to remove the piercings before we went to court and he said, "What? You don't like them?" I said, "No, Joe. I love them. But you'll never make it through the metal detector."

Agree with this however my phone is on vibrate when out for a nice night etc. Any page I receive is returned outside and this is something I have been doing even prior to HIPPA.
