While We're Being Honest...

TJB, 1989 (Sexy People worthy?)

Let's be honest: Rosie O'Donnell, right? And the sad attempt at flipped-up-collar-cool is just... poignant.
In our vanity, after the scary Eighties flashback we just subjected you to, we must repeat the following photo in an effort to regain your goodwill, and our dignity.

TJB today

Darlings, we've said it before and we'll say it again: Fabulosity can be achieved! We are the living proof that a silk purse can be spun from a sow's ear. Or something poetic like that.

  5. I just HAVE to mention THIS anecdote of yours again from your interview on Mr. Peacock...

    "My favorite thing to do, when I was very, very little, and had a day off from school, would be to "dress up" in my grey flannel trousers, pink oxford shirt, navy school blazer; dab my father's Polo cologne on; and watch old movies on television with a "highball" glass filled with ice cubes and "scotch" (ginger ale)."

    That, my dear, was fabulosity-in-training.

  6. Thombeau & Xico -- Kisses, darlings! Love you!

    MJ -- I have to find some photos of TJB, The Early Years; I was a darling little boy, all shiny bowl cut hair and snappy blazers. Then The Awkward Years hit, and man oh man...
