Was that in San Francisco?

I would be surprised if their skating was good. There is nothing in their backgrounds to suggest they could play hockey competently. I was forced to play hockey as a young boy in a private school for boys in Canada and hated it. Later in life I learned to enjoy skating as a recreational sport but no pressure to perform athletic feats on the rink.

I’ll say one thing though on looking back at one of his so called triumphs. That outfit he dressed Jackie Kennedy in to marry Aristotle Onassis was dreadful and her hair was awful too. Will not go down in history as one of his most elegant creations and in fact I think will be regarded as a failure. OTOH the creations he whipped up for real European royal weddings were classics.

There are risks to addiction to shopping or fine dining as well. Shopaholics can ruin themselves financially and too much rich food can damage your health.

And they can’t even skate. Lol

Would be interesting to know how many inches you require in depth soundings.

That ‘35 hurricane was legendary and resulted in a public rebuke of the government by none other than Ernest Hemingway. He was one of the first to arrive in the aftermath and witnessed hundreds of corpses hanging from the trees. The victims were mostly Black army veterans from WWI working on relief projects. Hemingway alleged they had been left to die by an uncaring government. He lashed the feds with his mighty pen.

If I could ask, what kind of food were you consuming all day. Was it healthful nutrition or not so much as in fast food/junk food?

Well that was sort of obvious when I first saw it, which is why I laffed.

Ad gone.

How old is he now?

Very interesting discussion. Only got thru half but will revisit.

He and his style certainly enjoyed longevity in the fashion business. From Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn through Jackie Kennedy to Julia Roberts and others, his dresses will go down in history as the best of the best.

I would tell mom I needed massage therapy because of some sprained muscles in my back. And the first one didn’t do such a great job so I hired a different one who was a bit better. That leaves room for looking for a third, and fourth…

Especially striking is the finding that anti gay bias is increasing amongst the younger folks.

I find this to be a very misogynistic piece of entertainment, if it can be called that. Very distasteful.

There’s a name for the client you described. It’s shyster.

I found these two acrobats routine to be very homoerotic. Artistic too. A nice combination.

Actually Flagler built the train track from New York to get people to go to South Florida which was known as Mosquito County before being renamed Dade. It went all the way to Key West. This was well over a century ago.

Looks like mostly a bottom. Also not much girth if looking for a topping.

God it looks like a vagina. lol

Well I looked it up and I take it from you he worked in Vancouver, not Toronto. I was living in Toronto in 1971 when the restaurant opened downtown and I might have gone once but it wasn’t a memorable meal. I either forgot or never knew that the Vancouver location had opened the year prior. But the original restaurant by that name was in Portland, not Vancouver, from what I have just now read.

Yes I misspoke. One criticism of the Gehry addition to the front of the AGO was that Dundas St on which it fronts is too narrow for his work to be properly seen.

A lot of food and spaghetti and meatballs does not make for haute cuisine, or even fine cuisine. But the outlet in Toronto is popular with people looking for a relatively cheep night out and a fun atmosphere. I guess when Hudson was working there he would have given his clients some nice eye candy to go with the meal.

And Hudson said in an interview he had worked at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Toronto, a classic institution there. He confessed he wasn’t the greatest waiter but that he did manage his tables well. (I took that to mean he was attentive and gave great service). I’ve never dined there but it’s not known for haute cuisine.
