I had a whole nother comment in mind until I read your reply to Anon, to which I laughed out loud. Twice. Which was 2 more times than I laughed at the drinks party I attended tonight. (Not that I have any doubt as to the veracity of your response.)
Some fancy footwear there brother to trip the light fantastic during the Christmas business dinner ball no less. I spiderweb crawled over to the site of said origin source, and they do have Suuuweet hunting outdoor manly-man U.S. fabricated foot-envelopers there methinks to blend well with my vintage Filson/Pendelton attire. Thanks for (as always) the education!
Thanks everyone. And James...re the Speedo Potato ... yes indeed I use one. But I put it in the back.
Scale...yes, they do a bunch of really cool stuff.
Hermosa...Shutters in Santa Monica was bliss...it's 31 degrees in DC this morning so the little bit of variance in your weather was nothing. SouCal does make me feel like the least cool guy in the world when I'm there. I feel more sorry for women in LA. Women have it tough these days in general. Cosmopolitan Magazine sets every woman up to feel less than good about themselves. My brief observation of Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive makes me believe that if a woman isn't skin and bones, blond and botoxed, life isn't worth living.
I am completely green with envy over those loafers - and that comes from someone with lots of greenery. At least you won't have to think twice about what shoes to wear to my green party.
Had a pair of green suedes once. I miss 'em. Those are some natty shoes.
(By the way, thanks for the head's up and ultimatum... my cigar tassels are on the way to sleep 'neath the tree. I have been a very good boy this year.)

Exactly right. And that, my friend, is why I moved from the Westside (Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica) to Hermosa!
I so love these.

Anon...that's not long underwear. It's my wanker.

ReplyDeleteThe unveiling at last. As for your sock explanation,do you also put a potato in your speedo?

Those are pretty damn sharp, I must say.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your jaunt to our little beach town. Too bad the weather has been kinda meh.
Aah you got 'em. They look every bit worth the wait ADG and just in time to be colored for the season.

Nice loafers dude! 37 degrees in central FL this morning...with no chance of snow - love it!
ReplyDeleteLike hand-hewed sailboats, baby!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sock choice too.

Nice shoes, ADG. Definitely worth the investment and wait. Please provide details on those handsome yellow socks. Thanks in advance!

ReplyDeleteLucky charms . . . nice kicks!

Eleganto...you are gonna love that shoe my man! I tried on a pair of the full strap Alden Cordovans in California. Alas, I could not pounce.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly tasteful :>) In fact, they're knock-your-socks-off good. Looks like Christmas came a little early.
