226. About time I've been tagged (3 exclamation points) (don't worry, I'm still grateful.....)

I have been tagged from my favourite country not named the U.S. courtesy of the beautiful Living Reflection Of A Dream. I will answer a couple of questions about my likes/dislikes so you awesome folks can learn again how quirky and "out of space" I really am lol.

What is your current obsession?
Hmmm....tweeting is one. I never thought I'd get this addicted but 1,831 random thoughts later, I'm still at it. Also blog comments/followers. I love to know what people are thinking when they come across any given post.

What is your horoscope and do you relate?
I am a scorpio and I try not to read into it much but sometimes you can't help it.

What are you wearing today?
Where I am, I have to dress for the heat so possibly a tee shirt, Levi's khaki skinny ankle trousers and navy sperry boat shoes (no socks of course) should do.

What is the last thing you bought?
Clothing wise, I believe it was my boat shoes nearly a month ago (wow, that long ago?!)

What do you think about the last person who tagged you?
I'll say exactly what she said for her answer that I don't know her name either but I think her blog is rad and she's on her way to the topomos of the popomos!

What's for dinner?
Not quite sure yet. I'm currently in Haiti so anything goes! But I'm sure it'll be delish and healthy for my diet (trying to gain weight folks lol).

What's your favorite decade, fashion wise?
The 90's and all of it's glory!...No, no sit the weapons down folks. Anyone that knows me knows in a past life (along with pretty much all of my other blogger mates haha) I was a child of the 60's/70's. I'll say 1964-1974. Beautiful things were happening man.

What are your must haves for the summer?
Well the summer is all but wrapped up so I'm more looking forward to my favorite season, Fall!! You can refer to post #224 on this and as far as electronics are concerned, I'm looking to update my blackberry to the new Tour and getting a replacement Macbook. *sheds tear*

What would you love to be able to afford?
Traveling just like any other sane person. Anytime I check out Garance Dore's or any of the blogs that highlight Europe, it makes me want to pack my bags and take off for a few months (this "thought" might happen come next spring). Asia (Japan, Hong Kong and S. Korea to name a few) is another desired destination of mine, also for their fashion forward thinking and mindset.

What is your favorite piece of clothing from your wardrobe?
I basically own two of same pair of Levi's skinny jeans. One is the standard 511 skinny eco jean and the other is a re-issued 1966 "super slim" jean. Both are dark wash. The former has some stretch while the latter doesn't give much. If you ever run into me in person or see me photographed, 9 times out of 10 I'll have one of these trousers on. They're edgy, can be dressed up or down, sideways or backwards, I don't own another article of clothing more versatile than this.

What is your dream job?
To be an Editor in Chief of a Vogue or Elle. Travel the world at a blistering pace, front row at the fashion shows, dictate (and in some cases, put to an end) trends, all the while, making the world a more fashionable place, one body at a time.

What is your favorite magazine?
Love the domestic and foreign versions of Vogue, GQ, Elle (need to start my subsription of the Euro versions to these mags) as well as WWD.

What do you consider a fashion faux pas?
I'm a firm believer in everyone having their own personal style. But I also believe people should look presentable when the situation dictates it. Not all clothes are created equally.

Describe your personal style?
European based, with a dash of classic americana. I love the idea of looking presentable everywhere you go. It says a lot about who you are personally, not to mention your style.

Which Beatle is your favorite?
Photobucket
I'm not supposed to be picking favorites but the one whose songs pull me the most has to be Paul. Show me a man who constructs better ballads and I'll show you a man who hasn't met Paul McCartney.

What are you most proud of?
My proudest moment is always around the corner. I can just feel it.

And now I'll give this too:
Stray Cat Blues
Faces And Places Of Antwerp
*Late addition! Sorry dear!*
Because Sometimes The Clothes DO Makes The Man
