Default Sometimes there are just those people...

I was conducting a small search this morning and glassing through 51 Mantles when this listing just caught my attention. I have to say this guy needs a job working for an auction house and not selling cards.

The pack of Newports squeezed between his legs adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the Mantle propped on his knees!

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Those jeans look a little too stonewashed for my taste too. It's not 1987 after all.
