Every once in a while… and it doesn’t happen very often … Dad’s may be asked to make a fashion recommendation. Be afraid…. be very afraid. Any comment like, ‘whatever’ or ” ask your mom, I don’t have any idea about this sort of stuff’ will land you perminantly in the pit of loneliness and isolation.
View this as an opportunity to express yourself… even if you are wrong.. the women in your life will love you for it… there is no down side here…. except, love and admiration doesn’t come cheap. Now is the time to make your move … there are many sales going on and what woman doesn’t love a sale? How do I know this? Aaaaah, I do read style.com.
The payoff is the ‘fashonistas’ at Style.com let you know when the designer ‘stuff’ goes 65% off (more or less) at the major retailers. This is very important for dad’s who are used to paying $15 for a three pack of their own boxers.
For example, the “Giorgio Armani Embroidered Jacquard Pumps” that I have pictured above were $575.00 at Neiman Marcus… now $288.00. Now, I do also like the red dress by Michael Kors ( actually I like most of his ‘stuff’… and it comes in Black also)… was $1095.00 and now is only $383.00 at Bergdorf Goodman.
With a wife and three daughters, it’s nice when I can play their ‘Nigel’ and obtain a smile ( Nigel was the fashion guru who advised the main character in the Devil wore Prada).

PS. Karen loved the shoes and bought a pair… but everyone loved hearing about the sales.
So… I was thinking to myself… what is my goal ‘food’? AAaaAAah, I remember when 2 of my hunting buddies and I stumbled out of the fields after a day of Pheasant Hunting in Amarillo and walked into the Big Texan… and sat down to a 72 ounce steak… magnificient. It was the start of a beautiful three day ‘protein’ high.
Hmmmm… Do iPods cause brain cancer? I don’t think so… I also don’t think they are a good source of Iron…. so I’ll go on a limb and advise you to not to eat them.
He was lost at sea during World War II, spending 47 days adrift and then two-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war in Japan. Following the war, he returned to Japan as a missionary. In 1998, he carried the Olympic torch (his third of five times) through his former POW camp outside Nagano. His experience was the subject of a CBS-TV feature and an upcoming book.
In any event, I am at 296… I have placed the picture of the ‘before’ of Kristie Alley as inspiration.
