We have a huge window at work that overlooks a bus stop. Everyday, without fail, various cute old folks would turn up to catch their buses at very specific times. If you are a vintage fashion lover, you would, like me, want to rip the clothes off some these oldies-but-goldies' backs. But it's not about the year-of-origin of the clothes, it's how they wear them so well, so thoughfully put together, a new look every single day.
I've been wanting to document their style for ages but it would seem so inappropriate in the eyes of the boss and co-workers to drop whatever I'm working on, run out of the building to accost some old dear for a photo and details of their wardrobe.
But when I saw Mr Silver Fox (he's not one of the regulars) and his hairstyle today, two days after I wrote about Ms Deyn's new 'do, I knew I had to do a sneaky-style-ee shot, through the window.
The short blunt fringe, the sharp Mr Spock side(burn)s, the slightly layered bowl shape and that silver that you'll never be able to get out of a bottle! He's the man, man.

He should sue her for millions.
Nah, sweet old Mr Silver Fox would most probably just laugh it off.
"Who's this cheeky Sheila (Australian slang for "female")?" I can hear him say.
LOL...he is a man's man! keep you camera handy because you never know when a 79 year old despot might 'arrive' at said bus shelter!
Only if you show up dressed like a 79-year-old despot. Oh, and knock on the window. x
Now that dude rocks!
There are more rocking old dudes and dudettes - Mr European Joe (my favourite), Mr Buena Vista, Mrs Throw-Mama-Off-The-Train, Madame A-Hat-A-Day...
be careful what you wish for!
Mrs M,
I'd love to see you turn up there in that pink number that you wore to your birthday. You know that one with the butterfly sleeves? x
He leaves Agnes in the dust - he is so money, and he doesn't even know it?

And you're so on the money, Naomi! He must have been a real cool cat when he was younger. xxx
