Sounds tremendously tasteful; I trust you went to the Row rather than their Chelsea outfit which seems to be entirely staffed by ethnics. There is nothing worse than a garish pinstripe. Except perhaps these young gentleman's attire: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/pictures/galleries/newsid_3497000/3497279.stm Of a weekend I usually wear this sort of outfit: http://www.harristweedshop.com/breeches.html The outfit on the right being for casual frolicking on the estate whereas I wear this for church: http://www.harristweedshop.com/traditional-suit.html I have interviewed a number of people lately who don't have the advantages afforded by a private education who seem to think it is "ok" to turn up to an interview with a tie knot the size of Anglesey and the shape of a Rhombus, their hair suffused in all manner of products and shoes coated in metal (not a gentleman's snaffle). I really do feel that "street culture" is in danger of overwhelming the good sense of sporting a pair of red moleskins when in town.

The single vent is an American abumination. I also hate 3 button suits, anyone who has a really fat tie knot, fused canvas, garish two-tone linings, and shirts with massive cuffs and massive collars. I've only bought a Gieves & Hawkes personal tailored suit, which is still under construction (grey with very subtle pin stripe, 2 button, slightly angled pockets, no belt-loops, Cambridge Blue lining). Once my excellent tastes have reached some sort of equilibrium, it's time for fully bespoke. My weekend wear looks something like this: http://www.moviemaze.de/media/wallpaper/2033/goldfinger.html

Dege and Skinner do a splendid line in weekend wear, hunting pinks and two button, three piece suits with double venting. Suit with one or less vents are as good as a collossal tattoo on one's for'ed stating CUNT. Shirts are by Emmett and formal wear by Favourbrook of Jermyn Street. I trust you don't buy off the peg, Thieves and Hawkes have gone down hill a bit since they were taken over by some people from Hong Kong, started trying to attract the noveau rich, some of their suits look like they belong in Oswald Boateng's shop, and he's a darkie. On a seperate matter, why is it always the deeply unpopular people from school who attend reunions and dinner functions? Obviously in Burgers case it was a self serving opportunity to show off his reduced cheeks and explain how tremendously succesful he is selling mobile telephony equipment at phones 4 U.

I like this, but it needs a little cleaning up and seems too repetitive, to me.

Pretty good. Needs cleaning up.

Ah, okay, it was a reference to God. (That's the problem with posting and voting first, before scrolling down...I say redundant things...oh well, at least you get my own uninfluenced thought at the time.
Re: Fanatic by Dovina	amanda_dcosta 61.17.227.236	11-Jan-07/9:26 PM
Very well put. An idea well conveyed.
Re: Self Portrait by Dovina	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.65	11-Jan-07/9:26 PM
I like this... but wonder why you capitalized Potter and His. Perhaps as a reference to God or The creator? If so, then I wonder what/who the painter is? I think, if the God reference was on purpose, I like it without the reference, as it speaks to the differences and sameness of creators of art. But the descriptions are very tactile, but with a God reference it makes the potter and clay so much less tactile and rather illusive. That said, whichever way it is meant to be, it is pretty good and the last two lines very good.

Hi there....seems you have been as reclusive as I. I'm just back in, as well. I am glad I found something from you upon my return. Now for my honesty... The last line in s4 bugs me and doesn't work entirely. The caliber of the piece calls for something better there. The last line needs changing, IMO. Perhaps 'to die by love's decree', 'my eyes to never see' 'my love to never see' (or 'taste') or simply 'no road back to me' (which would put a rather melancholy note to the end, making one wonder if he truly distains her so and to imply an ever so slight longing and sadness.) You know I love your mind...this is fantastic and it shows your progress with rythm. I am also, as always, enchanted with the olde feel of these pieces. With this I see a more comfortable you going into a little darker place...you did it very well!
Re: a comment on Chord before the crescendo by Caducus	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.13	11-Jan-07/8:42 PM
LOL...Alchemy...Same vote...we agree again! And you should know my rule by now...I never look before I vote or post, only after. Dovina..."the boxed instrument burned." Why do you insist on literal and concrete, when this is piece is neither? Caducus, don't you DARE change this...the rest of us know what it means! (And, it is absolutely fantastic!
Re: Chord before the crescendo by Caducus	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.65	11-Jan-07/8:35 PM
Oh man! Excellent! Sheesh....applause, definitely. Take a bow...this is fantastic... way to go Caducus! This is hitting my favorite folder.
Re: The dancers by richa	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.65	11-Jan-07/8:29 PM
'in much the same way as they' needed tweaking, in my opinion. Wonderful, magical picture painted here...and so clearly, about an illusive subject. If you were a photographer you would have captured it on film. Very good!

Oh, Crap! I am soooo sorry ALChemy, I was thinking of Zodiac when I posted the comment! If I knew you personally I would treat you to a fantastic steak dinner to make up that blunder of blunders! I know who you are and I am so sorry!(Profusely regretful...and as you know, I am rarely regretful and rarely profuse toward another:) Please accept my virtual steak and bottle of whatever pleases you, and know you have my respect. Zodiac...have your fun, as I know you will when you read the post. I insist- but remember, I told you to.

Re: portrait of powerlessness by digipoet	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.65	11-Jan-07/7:15 PM
I see you, Alchemy have not forgotten the one you were so venomous and combative toward...what, did you miss the sparring? It is rather amusing our scores matched...I am surprised. I do not know this person and this person does not know me. I logged on and searched my name...and at the top of the list was Alchemy mentioning me at this poem. digipoet...it was a nice entrance to find this poem. I disagree with dropping the entire last line. How about Safety, as the last word? something that wraps it all up and binds it together...no pun intended.
Re: portrait of powerlessness by digipoet	LilMsLadyPoet 152.163.100.65	11-Jan-07/7:04 PM
I think spelling it out with sadism was too obvious, some other word or earlier phrase to indicate that type of relationship would have been more refined. But perhaps you wanted to be blunt and state the thing that it is...but then you lose the complexity of it and apply a label for it. Hello, everybody, I'm Back:) As per my way, I will vote, post and then go see what you all had to say about this little piece.
Re: a comment on Better Sex by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	11-Jan-07/6:03 PM
I feel violated, digging into my past that way. Is it curiosity or professional retainer, Mr. Private Investigator? Of course it was not sex, but neither was it boring, and how could you know whether it was boring or not? You were not there; you are not me. Wait a minute, I haven’t seen that guy in a long time. Did you ever live in Southern California? No, not a chance!
