Dressed to look the part of a pert operator in a spy scene.

What you wear should always, we recommend, be what makes you feel comfortable.

That’s the only rule. It may well mean you’ll wear a dinner jacket to the ball, or an evening dress if that’s more the thing.

At times you may find a silver shirt with gold tie seems just fine. Or not.

You own the wardrobe, you hire the outfit.

Three people were reading a newspaper, the old paper type, while the performance proceeded.

A Ferrari may be fast, but sometimes a little Fiat 500 driven by someone in a hurry, on a Sicilian mountain road, seems faster!

They never got a certificate or diploma.

And you don’t need one.

The only person you need to qualify you, is yourself.

Yes…you may have guessed it’s just like giving yourself “permission”. But better.

Academic bureaucracy is superfluous and gradually becoming conspicuously redundant.

You can appoint, anoint and announce yourself whenever you want.

You know.

Only the longest silk threads had been used to create what was undoubtedly one of the world’s most beautiful scarves.

An owner could only feel better wearing this than proceeding without it, whatever their mood to begin with.

Some things are like this.

Something you own.
