Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: September 2011

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 11, 2011. 9 11 Never Forget. This is the third time I've written this post. I've ruminated all week about what to post. My cousin working at the site and putting the dust from his boots into a Ziploc bag and taking it back to site because for him the dust meant some one's loved one? Or How our world has changed? Then it came to me, I needed something personal. The vow I made that day and how it directly relates to this blog. The best way to commemorate those that never finished their jo...

Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: Be careful what you offer

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011/10/be-careful-what-you-offer.html

Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Be careful what you offer. I started this blog for various reasons. One was my own upbringing. I have one of those " aunts". She knew every etiquette rule but never understood love, compassion, or elegance. I remember setting the dinning room table for dinner with a ruler. Imagine the stress when we had company for dinner. Well, she is at it again. The part that makes my blood boil, they haven't seen my mother for four years and yet they can not make time to see her? If you o...

Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Pippa Middleton "'She's sweet but Pippa isn't wife material': What Alex Loudon's frightfully grand family say.". Http:/ www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2060844/Pippa-Middleton-dumped-Alex-Loudon-His-family-says-isnt-wife-material.html. When I heard this story on the Today show, I had to go looking for the article. I might have bruised my jaw when it hit the floor from being so appalled! I am sure the family is super upset that their true feelings have been splashed all over...

Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: August 2011

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 29, 2011. Protection to the looks-challenged? Http:/ www.nytimes.com/2011/08/28/opinion/sunday/ugly-you-may-have-a-case.html? I really could not believe this story was real. I figured some news service picked up on an old "joke" of Rush Limbaugh's. My chin is now bruised from when it dropped and hit my desk when I found the URL. There are some many things wrong with this story, so many. The first is, what are we, animals? Have we not 'evolved' past this point? I've watched interviews were ...

Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: June 2011

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 25, 2011. Wimbledon - Tradition vs "fuddy duddy". Watching the news this week you might have heard a story or two of Wimbledon. Tradition is very important in English society, Wimbledon included. In the linked article there are two interesting paragraphs toward the end, indicating tradition is important but technology has been embraced. As for the press on the ladies tennis outfits. I don't have a problem with the outfits for personal experession, but at what cost to tradition? The comment...

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Yes I know its been quite a while. But I must share a most humbling feeling I have received quite recently. I am truly better off in the end and I might blog about it later but tonight I got my "come-upance". Let me explain. A good friend of mine, I mean, If I had a sister I wish it would have been her, is getting married. I can not make her wedding Some might say I am not trying hard enough, call me! Oh stop with the "that isn't proper english"). Here is the issue:. I go to...

Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: Sale Season

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011/11/sale-season.html

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. This is the season for sales and shopping, expect for Jos. A. Bank. Why would I be singling out one company? I cant take it anymore! Every week for months, in the morning while getting dressed, I would hear their ad “Buy one suit, get two free”, “Buy one item 50% off, next items 60% off, your third item 70% off”. Last night, we both came up with two new great sale pitches. ARRRGGG – even as I am writing this one of their commercials came on – oh everything in the s...Astor: &#...

Astor Adams - Elegance: Redefined: New Start - Day 2

http://astoradams.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-start-day-2.html

Tuesday, November 8, 2011. New Start - Day 2. It's been a while since I've posted. It was difficult for me to find the balance of work and personal life. The balance has been given to me. My job position was eliminated on Friday. A complete shock. But I couldn't find the balance. I couldn't find me in the job. As odd as that sounds. Even though people are saying "Its for the best". It still does not help the feeling:. The only answer is live my life. What irks me is I. November 13, 2011 at 4:28 PM. Subsc...
