yesterday i gave jake a little makeover, very 'what not to wear'. the guy had no idea just how crappy he was dressed from the waist down. and that combined with his stylishness from the waist up...
i took it to my heart what trinny and susannah keep saying on their show "you need to be cruel to be kind". so i was cruel and told him.
he defended himself, though, by saying that as a 'photographer' (airquotes), he had to get down on his knees a lot. totally fine with me, but it does not naturally imply that all your trousers and shoes should look like freshly recycled from other people's garbage bins.
and so he would buy new trousers and new shoes (shoes with soles! why would people wear shoes that basically look like tieable slippers?) and he also fell for a pullover (v-neck) that makes him look very 'streberhaft' (i don't think this translates to english). and today he is even having his hair cut, but that has nothing to do with me, i thought his hair was totally ok. really. totally.
