Brooks Brothers Catalog Father's Day 1990
Paul Stuart Braided Cotton Cord Sport Belt w/ Alligator Harness Tab
Not much of a vodka drinker. That's more the Gulf Foxtrot. Her favorite is the Cape Cod - - or as they say in the UK - - Vodka, Cran and Lime, yeah. Darned refreshing and certainly hits the spot on a hot day. More for the ladies. Vodka is a delivery platform for the alcohol and the taste comes pretty much from the cranberry juice.
I'm amazed at how brand loyal many vodka drinkers are. An old friend is famous for setting up impromptu blind tastings of vodka for total strangers in bars. Jim can't stand Absolut. Thinks the only reason anyone drinks it is because of the adverts. He'll buy an Absolut drinker four shots of various vodkas with one being Absolut. Over and over the Absolut comes in dead last. Jim will go to great expense to prove a point.
The Cape Cod couldn't be easier to make. Some ice in a tall glass, splash of vodka and top it off with the Ocean Spray. But you need lime. I ran outta limes which is where this belt comes in handy. I mentioned it in an earlier post. On sale at Paul 'hands up' Stuart. Nice gator bits on the end. But only for summer.
Back in the early 90's, I remember seeing a Chevrolet Suburban parked on a street in London. It looked massive and out of a place - - what with all those little Renault's & Peugeot's parked around it. Same with this belt. Horribly out of place with a suit or winter. But perfect with white shorts and a batik linen shirt in Newport. Which is where I'll be next week with the camera and lap top. So, be sure to come back here for some resort wear pics.
