State of Warre:: The Tyranny of Comfort, Part II
The Perils of Knitwear.
Whosoever clads himself in ill-fitting Knitwear, perhaps to avoyd the harsh Gayze of another, know that he shall be as a Servant, not because he is Conquered; that is to say, beaten, and taken, or put to flight; but by his Covenant with the False God of Comfort.
Beleevers :: Marlene
Stopping the freakin' show.Marlene Dietrich, Morocco. The most effective, violent, sexy legs.
She quite sensibly takes off her 3 inch heels in the last scene to chase after Gary Cooper in the desert. Oh, she also stops to help a woman pull a stubborn goat along the way. She's perfect.
NB. The True Sartorialist hath satisfied for the fashion sins of all that beleeve in her; and therefore recovered to all beleevers, that Eternall Aesthetic, which was lost in the State of Warre, wrought by the Tyranny of Comforte.

State of Warre:: The Tyranny of Comfort, Part I
Whosoever pads the streets in shoes of rubber soles, as in the Berkeley Common-wealth, look not askance upon those who tread otherwise, whose soles of wood or leather bring forth sounds that disturb your Tranquillity. For Comfort is not the highest Vertue, nor will its Pursuit gain you entry into the Kingdome of God.

State of Warre:: Once More, the Evil that is Crocs
When a man discerns, as if the Sartorial Deity itselfe speaketh, a Commandement in mutuall agreement with his own Beleefes, he shall seek to lay it downe as a a generall rule of Reason. So it is with the Signe in a Berkeley Shoe Storre that commandes men to Turn Crocs in here.
From whence we may inferre, that we do honour to Him, when we Renounce these forms of wickednesse.

State of Warre :: Uggs
Well, maybe they're okay if they come with Kylie Minogueattached at an odd angle (Thank you, Photoshop).
Mankind, having discovered sundry causes of the movements of Physical Bodies, hath now also discovered the sources of Bodies animating feare; in turn having origines in Evil.
The Power of Evil, given voice in Physical Form is thus named Uggs.

State of Warre :: Accessories!
Louise Brooks, of course.Without Steddinesse, and Direction to some End, a Great Fancy Outfit is merely one kind of Madnesse.
Where the Passion for piling-on accessories, whose continuance maketh Madnesse, is either great vaine-Glory; which is commonly called Pride, and selfe-conceipt; or great Dejection of mind.
