Miniature Entry: New York

The desk clerk on the second floor at The Strand looked exactly like a Fred Armisen character from Portlandia and I was going to snicker and then I realized that I was wearing a bow tie and a 1930s Swedish shooting jacket and a newsboy cap and wingtip shoes and a chin beard and so do I.

  2. Never seen Portlandia, I'm terrified to watch. Little too close to home... But you, sir, look adorable. Are you aging backwards? Because you look early 20s here and that seems unfair to the rest of us.

  3. I've never seen Portlandia, either, but without the beard you would be the most beautiful gamin.

    Hi Franklin... I don't know where else to post this... I'm reading your lovely blog from the beginning, and it appears that your link for the Camellia something or other from October of 2007 has been hijacked... It took me to a porn site... I thought you would like to know.
