a.187.in.soho.

okay! so consider me deceased.  as this gentleman murked (slang = killed) this statement twice over.  lifted from the supreme god that is the sartorialist, this gent worked this crisp, navy, well-tailored suit.  the pant, a men’s high-waist, front-pleated with three button detailed closure has me searching vintage stores for something comparable.

i’m sure his stock of vintage pieces, whether masculine or feminine is beyond ration.  the well-suited look is polished with white and brown spectators & did you notice the tie tack.  such a subtle finish.  this is mere stupidity of the greatest kind that i envy.  everything about this look is major and clean as it is flawless.

if he’s slinking down the streets of soho on the regular, we must & shall meet.  mi gusto definitely es mio!

of the choking kind,

cocktails. chasers. & homecoming.

i took some time to move.  you know this relocation thing is overrated.  somewhere at some point i became a hoarder of stuff; random shit (clothing, magazines & paper) clouding my coffee & impairing life.  in midst of a self-renaissance, i popped a few cocktails; chased it with some st. michel and have become anew.

in this vacancy, my favorite label’s creator passed on to green pastures kicking buckets.  damn.  who’s left for me to admire or shall i become part of a legion of the admired.  (deep).  i spoke candidly with a kindred spirit about yves, his impact, his suiting and his genius, and then we fell into discourse about the lavishness of death. surly talks of how orcherstrated our ceremonies would be.  quiffs about suiting, entrances, exits to invited guests.  so what’s my point?  those privileged to attend my homecoming need to give statements like claudia schiffer… …

beat.  take notes or i’ll haunt you down.  more about yves & our clothes affair later.

cheers,
venus.as.a.boy
