capitalism is alive and well

coming from a land where jobs are being lost, people are loosing there homes and the government keeps processing bailout after bailout, i have moved to the land where capitolism is alive and thriving. 
there is an air here of luxe and refinement that is carried in such a way, as to not come across with any sence of airogance, but an understanding of the essence of life. 
the shear attention to detail is absoutly astounding. the triditioal dress here
 for a man is called a toub and by shere frist g
lance it is an ankle legenth white button down shirt.  however upon further examination they are as varied as the days the days of the month. ok so where and i going with this lets see i think it is me trying to say that design in classic mans fashion is not as dead as i thought it was. i went through a period where to me there was no creativity left in mens fashions especially the classic mens dress shirt yeah you can change the collar or cuff but where do you go from there. now the answer for me now
 is everywhere there are possibilities everywhere from the cut of the yoke to the placement of flanges or tucks in the back to create just the right drape and fit.  
there is also th
e sheer curiosity i have found in the dress sandal it is a shoe that is even except-able  to wear even in the office. i had a run in with a hybrid dress shoe-sandal a few years ago and i was turned off to the idea that anything more than a flip-flop was ever except-able and here i have even see the male dress clog and we all know that is such a no-no if there ever was one. so i will learn to stay away. 
back to the idea of commerce. the mall here is what it once was in the us a place where people and friends gather and families spend quality time with the nanny. they even have giant inflatable chicken slides. who would not love that.
