My Role Model


We all have people we admire in life, but in general I don't believe in heroes. However, if I had one, mine would be a gentleman by the name of FT (initials). He is perhaps the classiest gentleman I have ever met, and he has one of the most extensive wardrobes on the planet. He consoles me often by telling me that my closet is better than his was at my age. FT is always spotted wearing his horn rim glasses, and he is dressed to perfection from head to toe. He is an expert at mixing patterns, and his collection of linen and tweeds are unmatched. In addition, he has one heck of a shoe collection. One of my favorite pair he has is a Ralph Lauren brown loafer with a red, blue, and yellow ribbon on the buckle. FT is also quite the ladies man and he has remained unmarried his entire life. He currently dates a 27 year old babe and he is 55; however, he doesn't look a day over 40. He can also be seen driving around in beautiful old cars. His collection includes a vintage Jaguar, 1974 Mercedes 450 SL, and a Jeep Grand Wagoner with wood paneling. What is funny though, he is actually a rival and competitor in my business field. However, we get along well and I still admire him.

Richard,
I wonder if FT reads your blog. I think we admire people who reflect the qualities we have or want to enhance.
Maybe FT admires you too. Maybe he sees a younger version of himself. Just a thought

Any styling cues to share from mr. FT? Would love to hear more.

Bill,

If FT reads, he doesn't know it is me, or he would have said something by now. No individual that I know personally knows I have a blog. And anonymous, what else would u like to know? I am happy to share.

Richard, Just wondering if you admire his clothing choices and not just his lifestyle. If you have gleened anything from this man, just curious what you have admired. Thanks. As a fashiony blog about style, it made sense to ask.

You are lame. Get a life of your own. How creepy that you would have this secretive cyber life that no one knows about. Makes sense that your silly stories have a disconect though - they are all ficticious.

I feel sorry for you.

creepy....kinda like someone having a cyber life that leaves anonymous comments on blogs. Again, if you don't like it, why do you read? If I am pathetic what does it say about you continuing to come back. Plus, you probably haven't had a girlfriend since kindergarten or something! You just seem like one of those!

Richard,

I know that I have been hard on you in some other post, but I have to agree with you. Anonymous needs to go elsewhere.

No I don't agree with everything you say, but I am interested in what you have to say about style. Also, when I have said what I have had to say, it's never been anonymous. I also only take from your stories what I want, and leave the rest to others who believe in what you are saying.

I'm not calling you a liar, but I'm not saying you are all to truthful either. This is the closest I have to talking to people about the lifestyle that we all share, and IF some of it is flause, only you know the real truth and I will not judge you for it.
