Moscow Lights at Night

 Here are some night Moscow views per my photography.

Some trams.

It was some quick photography utilizing program (P) mostly and sometimes taking advantage of auto focus limitations for bokeh effects.

And some more.

Contract on Cherry Street (1977) starring Frank Sinatra

I just finished watching this movie while doing a spot of working (hardly) on my computer.

Not a bad 70s cop movie, worth seeing for the feel, character 70s menswear and some solid acting led by Mr. Frank Sinatra himself in his first made-for-TV appearance and first acting role in 7 years.

I distinctly remember seeing it once already but not in the 1970s - I think, it was shown here on TV in Moscow in the 1990s.

When a Genius opens up!

You don't say!

I think I am going to learn this monologue by rote aka by heart aka memorize it. Make a party shtick out of it.

Tie and tie wipes

I don't always do dimples.

According to M, tie knot dimples "smack of too much artifice".

Ties - two Burberrys, a Zegna and two Bosses

Ties in bulk.

These are my expensive failures.

But, like I said I have worn, and will wear, any tie, even one of these.

TOD 4 - the day before yesterday.

 

Here is the tie from yesterday, a lower end China made tie.

A very cheap job of dubious provenance that I didn't buy myself, however I'll wear any tie at least once.

The fat end on this one is really fat - 11 cm but I knew would be eating later in the day at some unsavory if artsy places so needed something broad to cover the shirt front rather like a napkin.

The apple from me own dacha.

 

TOD 3: Tie Of the Day early this week, I think, it was Monday, October 25, 2021

 

Today this tie 70% wool, 30% silk but nothing special some mall brand here. 

Still natural materials and good enough for my purposes.

 

TOD 2 - Tie of the day some time ago, a Uniqlo

 

A Uniqlo silk tie!

Doing some sprezza... not on purpose though, God forbid.

 TOD 1: Tie of the day even more time ago.

 

First wear of this Eton tie.
