[jdj]

26. No, there is an actual scandal to this one.

I read about it in Vanity Fair.

He and his wife have a stylist and there are three-way and/or lesbian love rumors going around about this woman, she is a wild-child, well known over there. Can't remember her name.

[JohnKleeb]

27. Tony Blair in a three some with two women?

[jdj]

28. Here's some of the gossip, his wife's stylist picks his clothes

"LONDON: Britain’s tabloid press said Sunday that unconfirmed allegations about Prime Minister Tony Blair by a convicted Australian fraudster would re-ignite a scandal surrounding his wife Cherie.

Britain’s weekly newspapers jumped on claims in a forthcoming book by Peter Foster that his former fiancée Carole Caplin — long-term lifestyle adviser to Cherie Blair — exerted “extraordinary influence” over the prime minister.r.

“She picked his clothes, right down to his underpants. I believe that Carole is in love with Tony, and I was caught in that triangle,” Foster claimed, according to the Sunday Mirror.

He has said Blair would have to resign if all his material, which showed how dependant the prime minister had become on the former topless model and dancer, was published. Foster, 40, hit the headlines in late 2002 when it emerged he negotiated knock-down rates on two apartments for Blair’s wife Cherie, who was then forced to deny interfering to prevent his deportation from Britain. Mrs Blair has confirmed — and publicly regretted — that Foster helped her to find and buy two apartments in Bristol, west England, where the Blairsrs’ eldest son Euan is at college."

2. The Europeans have better style.

:(

You wanna see some ugly, badly dressed Americans? Just got to the mall.

[liberalmuse]

13. 3 words...

'T-Shirts' and 'Sweat pants'

P.S., I think Blair looks great. I hope Kerry can transform him back into the pre-W Blair.

[jdj]

30. I've never had to go anywhere to see that.

Just look out my window, or turn on the news.

We are SO declasse'. What happened? Has America ever been sophisticated. I grew up watching old Perry Masons and I thought that was what adults acted like. I thought all the men were Paul and the women acted like Katharine Hepburn.

36. having tailored clothes and a good slim body help a lot

but his pants in this photo are too short.

[Craig Roberts]

4. What the hell is that thing on his hand?

I assume you're being sarcastic. He looks like he was in the middle of banging some bimbo in the back of that car when the reporters showed up.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Bandage from having an IV removed.

The jacket is too damned short for him.

[allalone]

18. gauze from intravenous when he had his heart thing

[senseandsensibility]

5. Don't the pants

seem kind of tight, especially around the ankle? I don't like that look. I'm just sayin.

[Bluebear]

6. He looks disheveled here

Unutton that blazer, Tony. No tie. Gauze on the hand, this is fab? :shrug:

[Placebo]

8. It looked better on video...

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. That look went out with the Beatles.

[JohnKleeb]

12. and I knew John Lennon, Tony sir you are no John Lennon

:shrug: in a way I have beatle hair if that matters.

[BlueEyedSon]

15. Every style comes around again.

Never throw out your old bell bottoms !

[Placebo]

17. Exactly!

Everything old is new again, weeeeee!

[madrchsod]

10. cause he doesn`t want

trinny and susannah to kick his ass

[shoopnyc123]

11. Still competing with Clinton...DUH!

[NightOwwl]

14. The jacket is too tight

and his pants are way too short. But there's something about the Brits. They say "Fuck you" and it sounds like a compliment.

[Nlighten1]

19. Because he is a little nancy boy...

[jdj]

29. no, his wife's name is cherie.

[Nlighten1]

34. Nancy boy...

is slang for "girly man"

[JohnKleeb]

20. it was hard but I copycatted

[mitchum]

21. That's why that lapdog wins "Best In Show" every time

[JohnKleeb]

22. haw good one mitch

[JohnKleeb]

23. Why is the mid button the only button, buttoned?

Something the English like to do :shrug:

[TexasProgresive]

24. Not just them, me too.

That's the only button to fasten on a 3 button single brested jacket. Except for this incredibly heavy Scotish tweed I have. The way it's cut you button all the buttons against the miserable Scottish weather.

[JohnKleeb]

25. Ok Brits then

:D Y'all are weird to me anyhow.

[TexasProgresive]

33. Me, a Brit!

I'm no Brit, John. I'm a native born Texas who grew up in a French/English speaking home. It's just that most of these 2 and 3 button jackets are cut to use only one. And when you sit down you unbutton that one. Some other sartirical advice from my Grandfather-match the width of tie, shirt colar and lapel; the trousers should break slighlty over the front of the shoe.

[jdj]

31. Edwards does this and it drives me insane...

I think it looks stupid.

[JohnKleeb]

32. I dont care really but its weird looking

[Spider Jerusalem]

35. It's mostly the difference in UK and US fashions in menswear.

Classic English tailoring gives a much cleaner and more natural line than the Italian-influenced look that's been popular in the US for the greater part of the past 15-20 years...Italian-cut suits tend to be a bit looser and baggier-looking.
