What a total, total HOOT!

Yes, the graph is accurate. I'm a fan of The Sartorialist, but I know Scott's got "his thing" and much of what he posts are predictably him. He skews toward "in crowd" items and is definitely a media outlet for main stream haute couture, even though his M.O. is not supposed to be.

The bit about being a rich, old and European man is really true. LOL! The ciggies are true. The scarfs are totally and ridiculously true. Another question should be: Are you a fashion magazine editor? But what keeps me coming back are the surprises. He does have them. And he amps the saturation of his colors to make really great compositions -- so the quality of the photography is great.

And I feel like I'm in Milan, or Paris, or NYC every time I click on his site. It's a good class in observation. I see people on the street differently now. That's what good photography is supposed to do. Make you see deeper, with more patience.
