Christmas Parade Saturday and The Cat Who Has Adopted Us



What I am Wearing:

Polo OCBD
Polo Fair Isle Vest
Very Old Southwick Blazer with Patch Pockets
J Press Denim Trousers
Green Argyles - Gold Toe
Ralph Lauren (Crockett & Jones) Tassel Loafers
Furry Feline Around my Leg :)

Yesterday, was parade day and my wife and I participated in both of our county parades to advertise the business. Honestly, it was nothing about advertising, but rather spreading good cheer because most of my clients are far away from my actual location. However, even though I was trying to spread good cheer, many members of the audience had a sad countenance on their face. A couple patrons screamed throw me some money, and one asked me what I was going to do to lower gas prices. Wow! I didn't know PR specialist controlled that! Overall, I enjoyed the experience (we do it every year), but it is tough to wave at some one and their only reply is a stony face stare.

And finally, there is a cat who has adopted us and we are giving in and feeding it on a daily basis. My wife wants to let her inside, but I said, "absolutely not". Our pooch is precious and he does not chew or damage any of the furniture or rugs, but cats, I don't trust.....period!

I have a similar vest from Polo in my closet, and I agree you can not trust cats. Glad to see the weather cooperated for the parade.

A very fine cat, indeed!
This blog was definitely lacking one.

A fine cat and a fine dog complement each other. Listen to Mrs. Richard and give Ginger Tom a chance.

It's people, not cats, that you can't trust.

Just look at how the men's clothing industry nearly eradicated classic WASP/Ivy/Trad clothing and how we need blogs such as this one to help preserve this endangered mode of dress.

All WASP credibility will be lost if this alley cat is allowed inside the home.

Richard, ensemble is fine, but a few questions:

1. Denim trousers- you're too young for them, go with a pair of levi's and be done with it or don't wear jeans.

2. What's with the leg always posed. Put both feat on the ground, your hand in a pocket, sit down. But that pose makes you look like a women on the red carpet.

I'm not trying to be an ass, your blog is great, just curious. Keep it up.

Maybe it is Worthington's cat.

It's a tough crowd out there, Richard, as you're no doubt aware. Put your best foot forward and keep smiling.

Nice pussy. I'm not a fan of redheads myself, but to each his own. I'm thinking of getting a Norwegian Forest Cat or Maine Coon. We shall see.

HAVE A HEART, RICHARD, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. HE'S FRIENDLY SO HE BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND MAY HAVE BEEN ABANDONED (ABANDONED ANIMALS IS ANOTHER PART OF OUR FAILING ECONOMY). I'LL BET HE'S WELL-BEHAVED.

Gingers generally have very sweet personalities and he looks like he could use a good home. Remember - with true WASP tradition, comes philanthropy or whatever the cat version is ! I'm sure he'll stay out of the pooch's way when you let him in ! Go on Richard, it's Christmas !!
