“I can’t live in a minimalist world,” says Sinsteden, who is majoring in French and art history. “For me, it’s all about eclecticism.”

So preppy = pretentious twat it would appear. Still, he probably gets laid a lot. At $400 a time.

You know, Lady P and I discussed this. I’m not as bothered by the preppy thing as she is. I mean, this guy is a total ponce. I’m with you on that, Dimmer.

But a little bit of prep here and there is kind of cute and kicky, I think. Reminds me of the 80s. I’m not as bothered by the class-aspiration side of it as she is.

Maybe because I lived in the south through that period of time, it was sort of exotic to me. Also, I never met any prep assholes, they were always the cool kids (as opposed to the mulleted rednecks).

The guy has some real style and an developed interest in aesthetics in contrast to your average popped-collar douchebag frat boy. Not my taste but I’ll certainly give him a pass.

Wanting to better yourself is of course honorable and worthwhile. And style never, well, goes out of style. Better than the average popped-collar doughbag for sure, but is that where we want to set the bar?

I do like that I could totally own him in a knife fight though.

Hilarious, Dimmer.

I’m decidedly not crazy about extreme preppiness, but i think this guy must be the sweetest thing alive not to get beat up all the time. And I do like that he knows how to fix a proper cocktail.

Well then, what’s not to like? I know of one place in CA that can make a decent Dirty Martini, that’s it. It’s like living in a world where people can’t read.
