    Love red sox. Liz Smith mentioned in a column a store in Rome selling the red sox worn by the Pope. Well, I visited the store near the Pantheon, they were selling for close to $100 a pair.

    I hope I can kick up my heels that high when I’m his age!

    Love the red socks! Ray Walston wore red socks in the movie “Damn Yankees” and ever since then, I’ve thought they were a pretty spiffy choice for an independant thinker. Of course, he was playing the devil…

    I am of the outrage that the Pierre Cardigan is taking a riff from moi that I first put forward as the fashion question in 1983. With, say I dare it?, a Pierre Cardigan suit.

    I sometimes like to match my socks to my shirt.
