When I first saw him he was dancing in cashmere and I couldn't help to ask: how does one so tall dance so subtlety? his reply was sufficiently grand: its the sweater.

He was singularly sublime and I was waiting for the crash so we compromised when closing time wouldn't. Leaving the fabulous to play cranium until 5.

Forgive the metal detector around my heart but it has kept what you want someday safe.
