I once had a meeting with a billionaire and I was surprised at how badly he dressed..sloppy clothes, food stains and crappy shoes. I walked in wearing an Italian suit and a Rolex on my wrist. It struck me as hilarious that I looked like the billionaire and he looked like the pauper.

That said I will take my style over his every day.

This week we take a look at an interesting book about Sinatra's Style

Yes Adelaide I am looking at you...While Adelaide isn't the "murder capital" in a literal sense, it has gained a reputation for being one due to a few high-profile cases, including the Snowtown murders and the Truro murders. These cases have contributed to a perception of the city as a place with a high murder rate.

It's probably not true that it's dangerous ..but no offence I won't be going there any time soon!
