First, I can name two current figures who wear a fedora on occasion, the first, you've mentioned about Nov 7th, K-Fed(up) and yes, i believe everyone should have laughed at him, the second is Johnny Depp, I think he pulls off the fedora but usually strikes out with whatever he puts with it from the neck down. Funny, I just mentioned buying a CD "Christmas with the Rat Pack". Dean Martin has also been a favorite. As for Sean, what man wouldn't want to be named the Sexiest Man by People Magazine when you're 60. That's hard to top. On the blog scene, you're cool.Dean aka Sgt Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205009134475623975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-89845069273154341802006-11-16T01:49:00.000-08:002006-11-16T01:49:00.000-08:00The New bond scares me...so I'm about a millions m...The New bond scares me...so I'm about a millions miles away from cool but Sinatra and Connery are uber cool.ShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-59088346412336517302006-11-15T20:24:00.000-08:002006-11-15T20:24:00.000-08:00Michael, you have the whole cool thing pegged.

My mom actually met Sinatra. He and his first? wife Nancy used to live near her when they first got married and she used to see them in the park, wheeling Nancy? or Frank Jr. (whoever is the oldest).<br />Well, I'm taking a powder now,<br />PeaceOdathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973602431527460287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-69885315851133540562006-11-15T17:17:00.000-08:002006-11-15T17:17:00.000-08:00You, my friend, are a cultural historian of the fi...You, my friend, are a cultural historian of the first order. (I prefer Connery, because I am older.) This is an essay worth circulating around the 'Net. Incidentally, Pete Hamill (who wrote Why Sinatra Matters) remarked something to the effect that when Sinatra died the 20th century ended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-85391511805514828112006-11-15T11:25:00.000-08:002006-11-15T11:25:00.000-08:00I think you're pretty cool... when you aren't tryi...I think you're pretty cool... when you aren't trying to be David Letterman! ;pIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510297318390124951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-91718814010937645872006-11-15T09:40:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:40:00.000-08:00What a great post, Michael.

Pity today's generation: growing up with images of the likes of skanky Britney and Paris and some bizarre male celebrities who shall remain unnamed. :-)Lizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612798054079065399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-35559941371128366482006-11-15T09:22:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:22:00.000-08:00Connery, Sinatra, and before them, Bogart. were th...Connery, Sinatra, and before them, Bogart. were the epitome of cool. Absolutely. They were from an era when adults dressed differently from kids, and so they looked older than people of comparable ages do now.<br /><br />The 60's changed everything. There are also few women with the glamour of Bacall, Monroe, and Ella Fitzgerald around now. Hollywood can slap some red lipstick and a 50's gown on a young movie star, but she'll look like she's in costume. <br /><br />The ladies of that era exuded glamour from every pore. It was impossible to imagine them in jeans, or not looking perfect. They spoke slower, had huskier voices, and were probably born with perfect hair. <br /><br />Since my images of sophistication and yes, glamour, were formed by these people, I have never felt that I measured up. Nor have I ever felt old enough to be glamorous.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-4022616695407894762006-11-15T09:20:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:20:00.000-08:00Mist1: Yes women do define coolness... and beauty!...Mist1: Yes women do define coolness... and beauty!Michael Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007864829010402376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30418689.post-78892457292637361272006-11-15T09:17:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:17:00.000-08:00Post something about cool women.
