Too many visuals for a quiet summer day in loafers checking out the best of what "life" has to offer, longing for simpler times....

This guy has style and knows who he is. He reminds me of my own dad...who lived on the east coast and did dress just like that every summer:~) If you've got it...flaunt it...his legs could not be any sexier!

Don't know why I didn't know about this website beforhand, but I do now. Fab-U-Lus. Re: R. Thorne 12/13/06. She must be from California, cause EVERYONE from the mid-west, east, wore loafers (without socks, yuck) when I was growing up. Every summer we would go see the Grandparents back east & I was always surprised about the fashion statement. Of course all my cousins, etc. thought I was nuts wearing my flip-flops or tennies, w/socks, in the heat & humidity. By the way, my first recollection was of going across country in our 1955 Ford Customline 2-dr sedan, white top/aqua body, auto trans, 272 ci V-8, radio/heater & NO A/C! Funny how those deserts didn't appear to be so hot back then. In '62 it was in our new Plymouth Belvedere wagon, sandstone color (basically, dildoe beige),318 ci V-8, pushbutton auto trans, power steering/brakes/tailgate window, heater & again, no A/C! In '66 Dad added a Chrysler under dash A/C unit. It was so cool, really, it even lighted up like the dash, in a light turquoise. Then, after I wrecked the Plymouth, we got the first of our string of Buicks. A '67 4-dr hardtop Wildcat, WITH A/C!! But that's another story. Hi, Charles.
