Re: Guest Post - the clothes

Did Sartorialist go back to posting pictures of normal people instead of ones in the fashion industry? I quit visiting his site several years ago when it seemed like he was only putting up photos of designers and models.

1: I think he's been roaming further afield since what's-her-name dumped him.

I'm confused. Does the mention of a homeless guy in the OP mean we're assuming, or conjecturing, that the subject of the Indian photo is homeless?

I think he's achieved minor internet celebrity as a fashionable homeless person.

They have homes in India?

I found all of those links super creepy. Could be the pain meds, being cooped up since Wednesday, etc, but I don't think so.

No, I'm confused as well. The OP's linked photo to the Indian guy does not particularly look as though that guy is homeless. He looks like any number of eccentric dresser-uppers I've known in, say, western Mass. Eric the Rat, say.

Not that there's really an argument brewing here.

Parsi wants to put homeless people in a box.

Parsi wants to put homeless people in a box.

Now that she knows about silpat at least the boxes will be easy to clean.

Actually I'm depressed about Eric the Rat, who presented much as the OP's Indian guy did, and who passed away in 1998. Which I knew. Bummer, man. I knew him, stayed at his house, wrangled with him over his particular way of doing things. I miss him. Over and out.

I'm moderately intrigued by the story implicit in 3.

Interesting mistake in that post: "Both couples have closed comments on their announcements."

LW must be some kinda bike nerd to focus exclusively on the bike's brake levers rather than, say, I dunno, the fucking monkey on the dude's head! I mean, seriously, monkey on the head for the win!

Apart from the monkey, he doesn't look that far from the Indian urban norm to me. Snappy, sure, but snappy mainstream, plus a monkey.
