Then I see a leather jacket of red burgundy with gold military buttons. It goes to the waist. I like it, but it isn't quite distinctive enough. Something is missing, until I muse to the Perfect Shadow how great it would look if it could be lengthened into a full leather coat just above the knee, almost duster-style.
"We can do that. I'll make sure we can do that."
Nobody knows the price of the leather coat yet, since it falls in the custom-made category. I breathe in. I breathe out. It is too beautiful.
"I'll take it."
The approximate amount I spent on the four-day trip is $51,000. That is equivalent to roughly a full year's tuition at my son's college, Kenyon. I think about that. The self-indulgence is obvious. But it is my money, and I have paid his tuition for four years so he will not be saddled with any loans when he graduates this spring.
i just imagine the dude's kids waking up to 43 text messages on their phone and the horror slowly dawning on them as they piece it all together.

"I have agreed to go to meetings for sex addiction, since clothing and sex for me have become one."
I read this on the first flight of my vacation last week and have been resisting the temptation to post it ever since. Thanks, guys.

Still looking around at the crowd, noticing across the runway at least twenty-five attendees from China, the Wild West for high fashion, I feel the insecure contradiction of pride and self-doubt.
buzz does look like a chinese teenager who dressed himself by shopping exclusively at 西单 in beijing

There was a phase in my life in the mid-1980s, after a year at Harvard on a journalism fellowship, that I took to wearing bow ties.

as a simple exercise im gonna do a find and replace of 'buy/purchase' with 'masturbate'... lets see the results
I went on favorite websites day and night—Gucci, Net-a-Porter, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Vince, Shopbop, ShopStyle, and, later on, Mr Porter and Moda Operandi. I masturbated in the morning when I should have been writing, and it did ramp me up to help me write. I masturbated in bed at night, happy that the melancholia of the day was over and I had somehow gotten through it and deserved a little extra. If there was an item that I had somehow warded off in the morning, I masturbated. If something caught my eye, gave me the slightest rush, I hit the "masturbate now" button. I masturbated with my cell phone while waiting to have lunch with someone, or dinner, or a drink. I masturbated while I was having lunch with someone, or dinner, or a drink, happy when they went to the bathroom so I could finish the transaction without interruption.

Using the name "Buzz Boy," he hosted a daily radio talk show on WPHT Philadelphia 1210 with Steve "Steve Man" Martorano.
On Oct. 8, 2012, Buzz endorsed Mitt Romney for president.

the greatest evidence of buzz bissinger's psychosis is not that he has spent $600,000 on leather clothes, but that he can afford to spend $600,000 on leather clothes and still chose to host a daily radio talk show in philadelphia

okay you guys, I really do try to be open-minded and accepting/tolerant of the harmless foibles of others, but:
Think it's easy to be different in America? Try something as benign as wearing stretch leather leggings or knee-high boots if you are a man.
the knowledge that I am not as liberal or accepting as I would like to be is drowning in a sea of belly lols

I expect you to be wearing exactly that the next time I see you.

I like turning around and seeing the poor lost souls in the gulag of the higher rows. I hope they hate me, chattering chipmunks trying to figure out who the fuck is this poseur, or however it's said in Fashion Italian. Then again, I don't see them dressed to kill, in an $8,000 Gucci pony-hair jacket that no one else in the U.S. has and wax-coated black jeans, shiny and sheeny and sizzling.
his jeans are on fire?
