Men Dressing Badly



Omaha, Nebr. Great looking dog but the guy needs a wardrobe makeover.



Years ago I sold menswear and really enjoyed it. It was fun to help men find clothing that fit well and made them look great. For a long time now, it seems like men's clothing gets worse every year. The low point, in my opinion, was sagging pants. Unfortunately, those are still a common sight in Lincoln. GQ.com published a slide show called "The 40 Worst-Dressed Cities in America". Sagging pants aside, most of my personal peeves are represented and some of the writing is clever. I wonder what it would take to get the majority of U.S. men back into clothes with decent tailoring that actually fit. It would be wonderful to see guys looking good again!

Cold Thoughts

We're having extremely hot weather this week, so today I am thinking about cold things. Things like ice cream (actually I did more than think about that one; ate a Dairy Queen banana split-flavored Mini Blizzard). Freezers, doctors' hands, mountain streams, the inside of my car on a winter morning...and snow. I took a few minutes to look at pictures of the awesome Christmas ski vacation our family enjoyed in Breckenridge, Colorado in 2007. Now that's cool!

My obsession with Mid-Century Modern

I have developed a passion for Mid-Century Modern design. Perhaps growing up with the beautiful buildings in Lincoln has something to do with it. One example is this building on South 16th Street. I love the pink granite and window layouts. The building next door to it also has a great modern vibe!
