NY Times

A little off topic, but still of interest to the Husky Set.

Ceel Lo looks like Candied Yams

OK! Here's Cee Lo with a perfectly nice sweater and scarf (although I think only a man with a dark complexion could wear such a thing. If I wore it, I'd look like the stay puffed marshmallow man). But the pants... The pants are a problem. The whole outfit makes Cee Lo look as wide as he is tall. He's already a short guy and these pants only make matters worse. I know how it is, my fat brethren, we need some extra material around the thighs, but you have to pick a fabric that drapes. You also need to cut the hems to a proper length. All that extra fabric around his ankles just accentuates his short legs.

Cee Lo

Looking for a full body shot of Cee Lo Green from this morning's parade. The man was wearing some tragic cords.

Why a blog?

So, you've got a few extra pounds, maybe more than a few. Does that mean you have to give up on style? Do you have to spend your days looking as though you bought your suits at Sears? No! At least, I hope that is the answer. We're going to find out. I'm hoping to be a resource for all the big dudes out there - because if you are like me, you are pretty frustrated by your choices.

Julian Schnabel

Let's start with a man who's larger than life - Julian Schnabel. Pajamas with a suit, bush hair and beard, a shag rug on his chest, tinted glasses. Middle aged portliness meets rock star. He sort of pulls it off because his outsized ego demands such showiness.



Here's another. This time he's tailored well, but I'm not sure about the great coat. It adds too much bulk, I think. Though it does give him a longer line. Also, I think his pants are too long. I hate the bunched up pant thing. It happens to the fat man all too often.



Finally, a total fail. Here, the red pj's and the tennis shoes and floppy pork-pie add up to "grizzled clown" not rock star. Still I once again give him credit for bravery.
