Outfit for the steak dinner I was treated to by my parents:
Coppley MTM Navy Suit with peak lapels
Brooks Brothers OCBD with pinned collar
Brooks Brothers Repp Stripe Tie
Polo Ralph Lauren Butler Loafers
WASPs like all inhabitants of earth, grow old and age as the years pass. This past weekend (yesterday), I turned 34 years old. To most teenagers, this age would seem rather old, but actually, I still feel very young. It is amazing though to see how we change throughout the years. Even though WASPs are born innately with tradition in their blood, our taste mature and change ever so delicately as we age.
This upcoming year of my life, I plan to do some things I have always dreamed of doing. Also, I promise to continue my work with WASP 101, and help this site grow to what I always envisioned it would. We have brought on two new writers, and who knows, maybe Worthington will rise from the ashes before we know it!
So, to all my readers, let me say thank you! I truly do appreciate you all reading my ramblings each day.

Pinned OCBD, huh? Only Fred could pull it off w/o looking like either (1) a horses arse, or (2) an ill-bred buffoon. Which are you?
And what about Fred Astaire allowed him to pull it off? I looked just fine, thank you very much!
The color and patterns here show maturity. May you outgrow the novelty loafers, extraneous accoutrements, and unbuttoned coat next.
How old are you anyways?
"Steak dinner"? Why not a WASPy meal to celebrate such an occasion?
Fred
Richard,
I'd somewhat agree with Terry. It looks a bit sloppy and amateurish in this picture. Moreover, the tie is not the right kind of tie for that sort of thing.
But, on the bright side: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Yours truly,
Oliver
Wasps "grow old and age"? How cruel life is! To grow old is bad enough, but on top of that to age! Perhaps if we weren't "born innately" things would be different.
Richard, this is a classic look. You look like an attorney, or GOP staffer. The ribbon loafers and tie-pin add an interesting note.
Wait, you're a teenager who just turned thirty-four?
"Steak dinner" = hilarious. It's funny watching you pretend to have class. Just like your tortured English, your ideas of what upper-class people eat reveals how low-bred you are.
Best blog on the internet. Keep it up.
Happy birthday, Richard. Looking forward to some of the new twists and turns that this blog plans on taking in the future.
I must ask you this, though. Did you actually allow your parents to pay for your meal? I really hope your answer is no because once a man finishes college and begins working, he should always be paying for his elders.
Please - NO Worhtington. I love Kipp and your other writer, although the name escapes me...Hmmm...something else that happens as you get older.
Anyway, I think this sight is much to classy for the likes of Worthington and his crude stories.
Will we get pictures of Worthington?
I had a steak dinner because I like steak.....filet mignon particularly.
It's nice that you display your Clue board game so prominently. No other board game touches it for sheer WASPiness. Which character do you prefer to play? Professor Plum?
Richard, I wish I was 34 again time flies to fast...dress fashionably!
Richard
the birthday outfit is perfect..I like it...however, for a sunday the moleskin would have been nice...but thats just because I want to see them (and still want to know where you bought them)... keep up the blog.....personally I perfer reading you....
Best wishes to you for your birthday and successes in your year's ambitions-- with your website and beyond.
Yeah, who's the WASPiest suspect in Clue?
Brooks Brothers tie my foot. This is your school uniform tie from your time at St. Jude's School for Boys.
I don't understand. What on earth is wrong with a steak dinner? And what's wrong with a father taking his adult son out for dinner??? Maybe it's a real pleasure for Dad to do so ; I know that it is for me.
By the way, Richard, your outfit looks great. I would like to look even half as good. Now if I could just convince you to give up blue jeans! Good blog.
Try this again....one does NOT wear a collar pin with a button down collar. It is like belt and suspenders....just wrong. I am frankly shocked you would do it.
Don't get what the issue is with steak, but oook. Love what you've done here though.
