P-list dress code

[kent mueller]

Everything connects, yeesh! Here's one for the Gaddis and the fashion
posters: Right above Pynchonoid's fashion posting was an email with the
subject line "Dressed, a little old" from one Jerrod Noble sent to my
correct address. Naturally I thought it was another P-list posting and it
turned out to be spam for a mortgage.  A tiny Gaddis moment. I usually don't
fall for even opening spam; coincidence of course, I mean, even spammers
can't work that fast...

For myself I'm a child of the 70s, but a young adult of the 80s, so I'm
still running around in new-wave thrift-shop suit-coats when the weather
allows, which in Wisconsin isn't very often. It's the standard literary
uniform of the Young Hips -- who are now graying -- that I knew in college.
Now when I go to a party I'm surprised to be the only one in suit-coat, kids
today, I just don't know (in ten years I'll be striking out at them with my
cane and mumbling incomprehensibly...). No, not the tweeds and sure as hell
not a leather patch on the elbow.

Ordinary dress pants like one would wear to a job where jeans aren't allowed
(cubicle farm). Probably Dockers or some such but I'd have to look at the
label. Button-down shirt, Doc Martins, usually in need of a
shine...Earth-tones usually, as a Taurus concession.

Too much info,

Kent
