Shanghai by night

Posted by Lance Miller On February - 6 - 2010

 

It’s the year of the Golden Tiger!

My sister studies Mandarin in Shanghai and last time I heard her order a Beijing Duck from a restaurant it sounded fluent. But to me anything that links back to any Chinese language sounds fluent.. Anyway, I love China. I have been there four times and each time things have changed so much. They develop in such rapid pace.. In the Netherlands it takes construction workers and government officials 10 years to complete a metro station. It takes the Chinese a couple of weeks..

Onno is starting a couple new ventures, and likes his cuff’s unbuttoned.

Do you remember Humphrey Bogart overdress in his trench coat in 1942 for the movie “Casablanca” directed by Michael Curtiz? What a man! Eversince I saw that movie I have been waiting for rain so I can wear my trench coat.

Choose Perfect Shoes

(By Bertie)

You have dreamt of it for so many nights, you have saved up each euro/pound/dollar/yen and now you’ve finally got it: your own suit from Brioni. However, when you walk down the streets, the girls don’t turn their heads to look back and Scott Schuman doesn’t ask you for a photo to post on his website…  Oh Georges “Beau” Brummel , God of the Dandies, please tell me, what’s my problem?
