Alex, Billy and I think that style is inherently inconvenient. Let us take you through a few but poignant examples of style’s inconvenience.
For one, writing with a fountain pen. The use of a fountain pen is thought to showcase one’s penmanship and individuality but often times leave smudges of ink in your hand. This does not take into account the occasional ink squirt in your hard bought English dress shirt (you’re doubly dead if it is Thomas Pink). Another is driving a vintage car, while seemingly a picturesque proposition (think Brideshead Revisited), it will oftentimes leave you (literally, trust us) in the curb or shoulder of the road. Having style or at least trying to have style entails a proportionate or disproportionate amount of inconvenience. This blog is all about the stylish items in life that carry inconveniences and whether or not they are worth it.

The 1980's Macho band "Hagibis" |
Finally, the other theme of this blog is characterized by the cacophony of the raves and ranting of three guys and contributors in their early forties who were children in Manila during the 70’s and teenagers in the 80’s. Manila Generation Xers perhaps better alluded to as the Hagibis generation. So, if you are looking for a central theme you might not get one. Just enjoy the blog and as the players in the play Pippin would say, “come and waste an hour or two”.
