  1. I always go with the Cordoba, it's the only one I don't forget. Didn't know I was being Debonair all this time. Can a girl be debonair?

  3. von LX- my dad was a 20 year man! He taught me how to do that back when hippie bandanas were the rage. I was cool, and at the same time squared off!

    Not even the Playboy of the Western World wore an ascot. too gay. He was a greek fishermans cap kinda guy.

  5. I like a casual out of shirt attitude. Wildly creative, a force of nature, rides like the wind.

  6. COREYJO: Yay First!!

    Is this your first “first?”

    COREYJO: I always go with the Cordoba, it's the only one I don't forget. Didn't know I was being Debonair all this time. Can a girl be debonair?

    Not according to the world’s most trusted dictionaries.

    I’m inviting you to my next dinner party.

    I bet you’re a whizz at folding table napkins.

    *mumbles something about “Greek style.”*

    COOKIE: How would that swinging Robert Goulet tie it on, baby?

    In a swoonworthy manner and preferably predating the Robert Goulet moustache.

    NORMADESMOND: do-it-myself?
    hardly.


    Of course not.

    You simply summon Max.

    How rakish!

  7. Yes, it's my first 'First' MJ. Do I get a special prize?

    @von LX→ My Sailor Sam was in for 5 years. He tied it the first time and hasn't untied it to this day.


    *grumbles*
    Damn it! I wanted to be Debonair. **hangs head and turns towards the vodka lounge**

  8. @ CoreyJo: I knew some who did that very thing. And worse, had someone else tie it for them!

  9. You know von LX, I can't guarantee he did it himself. He was already in the Navy when I met him...sounds like him though, ties aren't his thing.

  10. There is no prize for one's first "first"...

    Only admiration or jealousy on the part of the other Bitches.

    Beating Von LX to first is the goal of many who step through these portals.

  11. It says "Instructions for AMERICANS" ???

    I somehow find that OFFENSIVE !!!

  12. HEFF: Of course a modern day Jay Gatsby such as yourself needn’t be told how to wear an ascot.

  13. There have make over programmes over here it's the staple of daytime television, they take a plain fat lass, give her new clothes, make up her hair and she comes out at the end of the programme looking like a plain fat lass wearing new clothes.

  14. If it's good enough for Charles Nelson Reilly, it's good enough for me!!

  15. Hmmm..? I rather like it when other Bitches are jealous of me. I'll have to strive to be first more often! HaHa!

    Words to live by!

    Charles Nelson Reilly sporting a red ascot, seen here on the Match Game with bonus footage of Jo Anne WORRRRRLEY!

    Jon’s had a few firsts too, you know, so you have competition.

  18. Halstücher sind geil!
    Some also call it a Plastron. Best made of silk ... and there's always the Windsor. I standardly have the half-Windsor.
