We all know Canali were a decent suit will cost you about € 2000. Or suitsupply where you can find one for a mere €400. But now - in this time of crisis - Metro/Makro comes with the ultimate price: €40!
The dry cleaner is more expensive... But I guess if you try to dry clean these babies you won't get anything back that you can wear. But who cares?

I couldn't help being distracted by Jan's new underwear campaign - what's wrong with me? Am I suddenly interested in dull, fat belly, skinny older men? :-)

In the little town of West Fork, Ark.,  a 10-year-old boy named Will Phillips is refusing to stand up in school and say the Pledge of Allegiance until the time comes when he can truly believe that the U.S.A. really does offer “liberty and justice for all.” According to Will "Gays and lesbians can’t marry, and there is still a lot of racism and sexism in the world.” - “They should have the right to marry, and I won’t swear that they do”Amazing isn't it? and that in West Fork Arkansas(population 1200)! WILL deserves a lot of respect for his actions and ideas. I guess there is still hope for the USA :-))
Have a look at the CNN interview - it will make your day I am sure.
