Lock up your daughters and sisters, he’s loose!!!
Really, Hugh, I think many of your cartoons on…uhhhh…“dating”…are working against you more than the ugly suit. In fact, there’s a good marketing idea for you. Color them red, attach toothpicks and sell them as flags!

so, hugh, if you can make a Bespoke tailor world famous, imagine what you could do with a blog based dating service! you have the audience, the biz savvy, the technical capacity.…it could be the next big thing!

I’ll have a think for you Hugh… Hmmmmm… I don’t think the photos are unflattering. And I certainly never thought anything bad about your dress sense that night either.

I think you’re fascinatingly cerebral. But I’m one of those obnoxious effing yanks that the world despises. But on the other hand, I’m thirtysomething-ish, creative, an ardent cerebral lass of Irish decent, and an admirer of thou. Isn’t the latter reason enough?
Perhaps I should move to London-ish…
sigh.

Wake up the day after my 39th birthday and see this cartoon. Ouch, you tug at the heartstrings…

I was visiting London at the time. Had run out of clothes. The shirt was the only clean one I had left. And I only had the one jacket.
Many people have commented on my dress sense of that evening, since
