Levar, Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross were what guided my childhood growing up. Levar especially is who helped encourage my love of reading, and I love him all the more for it. Couldn't have happened to a better person.
This man is led to meI loosing my teeth at 3 years old.
My older brother was walking around the house with a handband over his eye's going "look, I'm Jordie!".
I often imitated him in things. This time, I imititated him right down the crllar stairs and knocked several of my teeth out. Had to wait years til they grew back.
I wondered what the award was and found that it was yet another part of the job Trump couldn't be bothered to do:
For anyone else wondering, it recognizes individuals, groups, or institutions which "deepened the nation's understanding of the humanities, broadened our citizens' engagement with the humanities, or helped preserve and expand Americans' access to important resources in the humanities."
He is a man that knows an awful lot about men's fashion, particularly about how suits should fit and sit on a man's body, he gives very in depth descriptions of why clothes look like shit (and something why they look good) on people without coming off as a weird snob, he's also a pretty funny dude
He is a fashion commentator who gives notes on celebrity outfits, especially on Twitter/X. His knowledge of fashion history is extensive and he seems genuinely (and non-snobbishly) interested in helping people to look their best on whatever the budget they might have. He may not like your flashy “blingalicious” clobber, but he can tell you (with examples) exactly why it doesn’t work. I am not a fashion guy in the least, but I really enjoy his analysis. If he says, “you look good”, believe it.
Notably, also one hell of a classy guy. He has style advice for any budget or level of dress, with no judgement for anyone who isn’t being a pretentious asshat.
I was being genuine. He had great advice on how to search for specific vintage items and the way he presents this info is accessible. Maybe this is obvious to some folks but I found it actually helpful.
Also this is the kind of posts he writes. Not just scathing critiques of public figures bad clothing choices but also his specific niche knowledge tips. Which I appreciate more than the current trend of engagement bait bs like “what’s your favorite burger place in nor cal” or whatever nonsense threads artificially inflates as valuable.

That navy suit with the black on black shirt and tie is such a good color combo, and that blue looks great on him.

I love that PBS Retro is available now, my kids watch Reading Rainbow all the time. It’s mellower than most other kid programs these days.

he's a fashion guy. roasts the piss out of people who wear "high fashion" that is ill fitting, ill tailored, or just ill conceived.

Oh I'd love to see what he's said about Trump XD

Spot on, he pretty decent fellow from what I've been able to gather.

yeah, he's about the stuff that matters: not clout, not cost, but fit. drapes and shapes

He writes very specific tips and historical stories about his niche area of expertise: men’s fashion. I find it fascinating.

I was being genuine. He had great advice on how to search for specific vintage items and the way he presents this info is accessible. Maybe this is obvious to some folks but I found it actually helpful.

Also this is the kind of posts he writes. Not just scathing critiques of public figures bad clothing choices but also his specific niche knowledge tips.
