He got tired of his old sig, and changed it.

Was it unbuttoned, the divide betwixt the lapels separated by a gold peace symbol, three inches in diameter, around his neck on a chunky gold chain, nestling in a rich black mass of chest hair?

But when I saw him later, he mentioned how he had really enjoyed the whole Hawaiian shirt thing. Felt it had really freed him from vanity, put him at ease with himself after all these years.

No, not really.

30 years from now, we'll be posting on the Tim Akers message board.

"So the latest issue of Locus has pictures of TA wearing kitty ears and painted-on whiskers. So. I've seen it all."

I attended a funeral in Hawaii. Preparing for the trip, I noted to my wife that I should get a new suit. I had started rattling off where to go for a proper fitting when she cut me off, picking up her cell phone. "Hold on..." and a few moments later called out, "yeah...didn't think so. Its 'aloha wear'."

30 years from now, we'll be posting on the FashionPolice board:

"Yeah man, I was there when the whole shirt over jacket thing kicked off. But back then they had real style - multiple leis, the works. We're talking Hawaiian hardcore."

best,

No images, that I could find, of Jack with a Hawaiian shirt. As an extra, WG, that I know some people lust for his lanky frame.

WGs shirt looks like it is an advertisement for Full Metal Jacket.

The lanky is so fine but it is the potential of the pillow talk that really I find most enticing.

As Hawaiian shirts go, the one WG is wearing is not so bad. I dare say he could've rocked it proper and looked ok.

I went to the Locus site, it didn't tell me why he was in Hawaii. it said the Locus Awards were in Seattle. Look at me use Google.

Why was he in Hawaii, a convention? An extension of the Hall of Fame Awards? Looking for Twi to do his next book trailer?
