The “Ivy League Look,” 1955. This style cultivated at college campuses would come to dominate men’s fashion for the next 15 years.

Natural shoulders, button-down shirts, Baracuta jackets, and narrowing tie widths, trouser legs and suit jacket lapels. 

Crikey! I used to work in that building (Low Library at Columbia, Room 304) and dress like that!

Jean Dujardin’s Villain Auditions

Oscar nominee Jean Dujardin (The Artist) is playing a villain in his next role. Here are his audition tapes.

Nice, but what I really want is to see OSS 117 III. There can never be too many René Coty jokes.

jamesurbaniak:

Anyone who follows my Twitter or Tumblr knows that I never get tired of mocking and deriding homophobes. But folks, joking that David Beckham has no American crossover appeal as an underwear spokesman and making fun of some athlete’s pink suit isn’t homophobia. This is ridiculous.

Notable aspect of this: Roland Martin routinely wears dickeys on national TV.

Friday’s Show: Tiny and Awesome
 
This week on Shut Up, Weirdo, we’re all about things that are as small as they are wonderful: diamonds, Hong Kong, white blood cells, Swiss Army knives, Peter Dinklage,  tiny hats, Leicas, computer chips, awesome online videos, iPods, and this thing (above), which apparently is native only to Madagascar.

The war on Christmas trees. The war on Cheerios. The war on the Constitution. The war on weed. The war on capitalism. The war on poker. The war on human excellence. The war on Texas. These are just a few of the more than 100 wars President Obama is engaged in, at least according to conservative pundits and lazy headline writers. He’s also declared war on the internet, so read the full list before it’s too late.

This is a good list. Our favorite? Space junk. nwk tumblr does not like space junk, just up there floating around being all junky.

We do hope you all know about Mitchell and Webb’s The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, a “Victorian comedy adventure in the style of Charles Dickens.”
