The Gulf Foxtrot (girlfriend) and I snagged a nice piece from Pierre Duex last year for half off. <BR/><BR/>anon-<BR/>I recently strolled through the NYC E. Allen and was knocked over by the prices. They want $4,000 for a reproduction chest of drawers. Hell, you can buy a 18th C chest of drawers for half that. <BR/><BR/>HTJ- Triple Americano's. Sounds like you and MW had some laughs. Have you seen the Yumas yet? Why won't anyone tell me about the Yumas? I had a pimp chase me on Hays St. in Fayettville in platform shoes. His "girl" asked me for a date. I told her I'd pick her up at seven, take her to meet my mom and dad and then we'd go to a movie and have a slice of pizza afterwards. She didn't think it was funny and moments later her employer was running at me full tilt. I was wearing Adidas and left him some distance behind.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-24481976658240216132008-11-14T20:40:00.000-05:002008-11-14T20:40:00.000-05:00Tintin, You've been on a roll lately.

I had one as a wee lad in '75 and in the photo I look like I won the lottery. The glen check suit actually doesn't look too bad for the period; it isn't a brown suit with a burnt orange shirt and platform shoes. The room? Well, it doesn't have that other 1974 look, macrame plant hangers and framed marimekko fabric wall art. What it is missing is a "furniture television," you know the kind, in a wood case with doors that open in the front. I actually liked those. What I like better is a living room without a television.heavy tweed jackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621291159017166849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-5151848742567526372008-11-14T13:39:00.000-05:002008-11-14T13:39:00.000-05:00Strolling through an Ethan Allen store, I see, may...Strolling through an Ethan Allen store, I see, maybe, a dozen pieces I really like. <BR/><BR/>My wife fell in love with, and purchased, the Bentley club chair for our converted family room/library.
