Preppy Sensibilities
I was a preppy as a teenager. In my twenties I moved towards t shirt and jeans. In my thirties I went back to preppy. Then I got serious with someone who was a country girl. So I turned myself into a country boy. T shirt, jeans and boots (cowboy, work and hiking). I liked what I called the "Everyman" look. Women would look. The ex said I was too much of a pretty boy at times. She claimed it took me longer to get ready. After we broke up, I still embraced the "Everyman" look. Phoenix Chestnut is built on it.
Young Phoenix Chestnut played tennis often in tennis whites. Young Phoenix Chestnut was looking for a preppy girl to spend time with, a Buffy or a Muffy. No such luck. The preppy girls liked the rough around the edges boys...the "Everyman". I couldn't win.
What's my point writing this?
Phoenix Chestnut might go back to his preppy sensibilities. I came across my old tennis sweaters, polish, argyle sweaters, golf club hats. Instead of cutoff jeans, I'll throw on some khaki shorts. Looking at those clothes was like going back in time.
I'll post pictures soon.
Until next time!
