    Isn't life surreal with the internet? You're sitting out in ****tsville, Iraq, wearing a Breitling and talking to a bunch of watch nuts about getting your bespoke suits from London. Pretty trippy, wouldn't you say? Strange world we live in. Keep the peace and stay safe...

    Thank God for the internet!

    I will say since I have been here, I've been educated on a lot of things. My sense of style has been elevated past the "Armani" phase, I know a LOT more about rep everything and I've had a blast doing it! Even my wife has become addicted to the site, although she doesn't yet have her own username.

    She has taken Posh's "Luxe for Less" attitude to heart (although "less" is a matter of discussion at this point with her ) She's been busy on rep bag sites as well as amasing quite a collection of Tiffany and Chopard jewelry.

    We're lucky to have Posh on the site- she's got an inside track to luxury goods outside of watches that is second to none and where to source good reps. Beyond that she'll compare the reps to gens and post the results. If it wasn't for her I'd be getting one suit on Sayville Row instead of 4 with the same cut, finish and attention to detail!

    Personally I liked the French Riviera post the best. Had me cracking up and gave me a look inside a world I'll probably never see unless I wind up on some State Dept wonk's EP team and he/she wants to go raving

    Long Live teh Posh

    I will buy Posh a drink of two but she will have to come to the NYC to kick it. Baltimore is hell! I spent 3 days there for a trade show and I would rather get shot in the face then go back.

    I spent time there and damn near DID get shot in the face.

    Won't go into Baltimore without crew served weapons if you paid me!

    Poshy's got a couple drinks on me that's for sure- might have to mail her a gift certificate from a winery though LOL. Hooked me up BIG TIME with suits, LV suitcases and a modded briefcase waiting for me back home. Suddenly I look classy (even if I am a Neandertal curmudgeon at heart )

    Thnk you everyone for liking the article. I'm glad you were all able to take something from it.

    And Sfa, what does it say when you, a war veteran, wouldn't go into my home city without a gun and "your crew" but me and my girlfriends hang out everywhere and walk around freely without so much as a drop of mace. That's a shame. I like The Wire has made the city look really dangerous when that's not entirely the case.

    But if you come to Baltimore, let me know and I'll protect you. I have some Blahniks that could double as a weapon if wielded properly!
    Do you feel safe now! LOL
