Like most male fashions, including the Ivy League look (LIFE, Nov. 22), this pink hue and cry has taken some time to develop. Sole responsibility lies with New York's Brooks Brothers, whose pink shirt, introduced in 1900 but long unnoticed, was publicized for college girls in 1949 and caught on for men too.

ReplyDeleteCoincidence? My posts are planned up to a few weeks in advance. This particular post was done last Wednesday.
As one sadly condemned to the inside track on our wonderful Net., I'm afraid to say that you've been "Chensed".
ReplyDeleteGarmsville's 'Arnold Palmer' post was 'Chensed' the other week too.
It happens.
On his blog Chens is now claiming that he got their first citing HTJ's blog updates as proof.
Most dishonest.
The 'update' on ITLL was an edit on a pre-existing post.
We must just regard him as the Ivy Fagin & carry on regardless.
