His Black Dress: Beyond The Limits Of Menswear
As a bit of a companion piece to my last post, I'd like to submit for your enjoyment His Black Dress, the blog of Mr. Spookshow, a fella who enjoys pushing the boundaries of what men are "allowed" to wear, from the perspective of everyday fashion.

a few disjointed ramblings around the date
I never gave a darn about St. Valentine’s day, even when I was dating, courting, and first married. being an old-married, has freed us from even noticing the day.
but
my 13-year-old niece has been staying with us since last year, being that middle school in Seward, Alaska is quite subpar.
she seems happy here, but is conflicted about her parents and sister being so far away. there is a bit of tension as she wants to stay here for H.S. and her mom wants her back home.

since I don’t normally shop for gifts on V-day, I don’t know how recent this phenomenon is:
clamshell containers full of rose petals.
“petaled for your convenience”
I saw two teenage boys each grab one container and giggle.
they soooo think they are getting laid tonight

now that I got an e-reader (audience: “Finally!”), I’ll pick up this beauty. I like the idea of online playlists to accompany the text and illustrations. books as multimedia.
