Sophia has shrunken! #iphone5

2 rain jackets? MsX is not a “GirlGuide” & forgot to bring her rain jacket. It’s that sort of a day..

BRIVET what?

Great way to finish a great start.. 

Early start distortion.. 

That sort of a day - busted rear spoke.

I do a lot of waiting around, even without rushing.. *this belt is nearly 10 years! #iphone5

Time put away Sophia..

The sun was up early & the hills were good this morning. 16 PRs good..

These 3 devices are going to help me recover from today’s #hurtlocker ..

110km in 35c or 95f heat.. At least MsX ( @ang_iee ) has made me break fast & turned on the AC!

Its going to be that sort of a ride this morning..

4shaw crazy socks & a coffee is one of the rewards to #2wheeltherapy & it is a #firstworldpelotonproblems riding in the antipodes

Peacocks & Turkeys

So apparently I ruffled some tough “anon” turkeys the other day regarding my 30 sec critique of indochino.com..

My 30 sec critique captured what would have been an all day shoot by “professionals”. Let’s take this another step. If you were selling a product, would you not make sure that it is represented in the best light?

Have a look at Ralph Lauren or J Crew for example, their campaigns capture a story & highlight their products in positive light. Surprisingly one can look at an older Ralph Lauren print media & still be swept away.

Actually, I challenge you to click on the WWIW tag & see if you find collar gaps etc. Also factor in that I do not have a team of stylists & “professionals” or a “fluffer”. It’s just me, a trash can as a tripod & 10 sec timer. Also I am not a model size.

Admittedly I am not as eloquent as Jesse, but that’s just me.

Here is a link to Jesses, post in softer lighting

So back to the above pic - here’s me after a long day in the saddle so to speak. In theory I have very difficult shoulders to fit & in practice should be exhibiting “collar gap” as my shoulders are sloped not square.

But as Patrick (P Johnson Tailors) & Ethan (ex PJ & now at The Armoury) have MostExerent “critical eye” & patience, they have ensured my jackets fit.

So there.. Anything else from the “anon” tough club as it appears they are the majority of the nay sayers & thank you to the other positive messages.

I will try & provide my assessment over time targeting mainly at industry folk as they SHOULD know better.

Please don’t send me pics for assessments as it is best to just sit back & lurk more.

Shots fired!
