Am I crazy? Tell me if I am


Tie and jacket, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

This is the tie and suit I wore walking home from the metro. Now tell me if you feel or have felt the same way. I despise wearing a suit from the Petworth metro. Why? Because I feel like I could not possibly stick out more. I am 99 times out of 100 the only person wearing a suit. I feel like an idiot. So tell me, am I insane? Is it just me? Ladies and gentlemen please tell me, do you feel funny wearing dress clothes home from the metro? I'm just curious is all.

Yes, I've totally been there. Fortunately, I don't have to dress up every day for my job, but the times I've gone out dressed up for an event I have felt conscious about how conspicuous I must've looked walking around Petworth.

Yeah--it can make you feel a little colonialist.

That tie is not the nicest. Unless you're in your 50s, in which case you get a pass. Or if you're blind. Or something.

That tie was a gift from Adlai Stevenson.

I have a beat-up old fedora that used to belong to Herblock. Would you like to borrow it to wear with your Adlai tie?

Yes!

you gotta be kidding me with that tie.
Here's a tip: take the tie off before you walk home.

One more tip: take that tie, bury it in your backyard, and see if anything sprouts up. If not, then at least you won't have to wear that tie again.
