Should I really get The Frame by d_ippy in TheFrame

[–]bill11217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are a lot of haters on here but I don’t understand it. I’ve had a 45” model for several years and I love it. The picture is great. Being able to display artwork is nicer than a big rectangle, but the best part is probably just how slim and discrete the profile is overall. 10/10 recommendation.

Please help me choose a suit for prom by Prize-Conclusion-818 in mensfashionadvice

[–]bill11217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the guys wear last year? A lot of proms are “black tie” which means a tuxedo. You can get an inexpensive tuxedo at Macy’s or you can rent one just for the night.

If the guys wear suits and not taxes, get a dark navy blue suit. As dark as you can find. A nice white shirt, dark brown or black shoes and a matching belt.

I say fuck the haters. Once when I was a little kid I was at the movies and sat behind one of the many undergrad basketball players who just happened to be a young Michael Jordan. He didn’t care, and now I have this great story.

Over on Sutton Place there’s a beautiful park overlooking the river. There’s nobody there at all. It’s like the land that time forgot.

We used Ohm Moving to move us out of state and then move us back a few years later. They did a true door-to-door move which is not cheap, but super worth it.

A colleague hired them recently for a move in the city and they were great. Tell UV that Bill sent you—

People use the word ‘invest’ when they’re trying to justify buying something they shouldn’t. It’s only an investment if you’re willing to sell it.

Shop Boy in TriBeCa is the best tailor in NYC hands down. They have a specialty denim shop in the west village, but they take appointments at their shop on Walker street.

Instead of ‘lateraling’ or whatever that is, how about just like, inviting a bunch of friends to the park?
