What Would Steve Wear?

In my desparate desire to emulate Steve, I have attempted to dress as him for New Years Eve.

I went with yellow chinos (the colour of chamois leather - with a cracking 2 inch cuff and zero break in the leg - I had to have stern words to my tailor about the correct trouser length for casual wear), a white barrel-cuffed shirt and a blazer that is as close to the American Sack Cut that I can stomach. It is single breasted (I had the brass buttons replaced with Mother of Pearl - I figure that is the way Steve would roll) and has patch pockets for a casual look. Only the sleeves are lined, so the body of the coat has a wonderful drape and the lapel roll is very full.

If it were any other night than NYE I would have worn the American staple “Penny Loafers” on my hooves. However, given the number of pissed morons on the streets, I’m in cognac coloured riding boots in case I actually need to break someones leg.

If someone I know takes a photo of me (obviously the gen pop will be clicking away like crazy at this vision of sartorial splendour) I’ll post it later.

Have a great NYE all and thanks for the entertainment in 09

I had heard that Jesus was actually born on the 24th of December, but they pushed back his (as the less important of the two) birthday so that two Messiahs were not born on the one day. It was feared that it would be too much for the world.

Lesley is the first person that I came to internet-know reasonably well. She is pretty, patient, funny, charming and kind (these are extremely rare traits for anyone, let alone a kiwi)! It has been a pleasure to count myself an acquaintance of hers and may this coming year be filled to the brim with her most high desserts.

Best wishes and much love to you Res

Thanks very  much for all the birthday wishes; you are very kind.

Off to Sydney for work in the New Year. So I have to find a place to live etc. and sort out the Cesspit and Cesspit Redux up here.

My middle brother returns from six years in Europe next Monday. It’ll be great to see more of him and his fiance.

Best Man at a mate’s wedding in early Jan, so if anyone has some particularly off-colour jokes, please forward them on!

My Secret Santa present was sent, but there is a postal strike down here (nice timing you communist fucks - I hope the emergency ward goes on strike when you pricks have your inevitable drunken car accidents).

Best wishes to all of you and yours for Christmas. And may you all have a wonderful 2010 - I know that  I plan on doing so!

Take care

M
