Husband scowled in the kitchen as he prepared his ham sandwich for work. He’s a little burnt out these days. "Cheer up. It’s Thursday and we have the Style section AND the Home section of the Times." That earned a smirk.
Things that caught my eye…
A fantastic review of Harry Potter.
I’m cutting this article out and saving it in my neglected cookbook cabinet. 101 ten minute meals.
A new Brazilian hair relaxer.
Nothing says hedge fund manager like a Thomas Pink shirt. The store has special after-hours shopping tours for my husband’s firm. It’s a status symbol in league with those ridiculous Hastens mattresses.

Ha, in my house, we get excited on Thursdays because that’s the day of the big Ocean State Job Lots ad.

I can to concur with the ridiculousnes of Tom Pink shirts, but not the idea of a custom fitted shirt. When I went to India I was able to snag the card of someone who makes custom shirts and suits. He comes over a couple of times a year , takes your measurements and in a few weeks time, Saville Row quality at Mumbai prices.
Any dude who is worth their salt on Wall Street is going to go and drop $210 on a shirt when the uniform is simply white shirt (any white shirt)and suit. It is the tie that is the defining of the man. Or new school hedge fundies all have biz cas attire and the thought of these noveaua arses droppign this much ona shirt when they want to keep op costs down to maintain teh max on 2 and 20 doesn’t seem like it’ll happen.
That place will be gone in 6 months.
