LeDandy and General Motors

One does not think of General Motors as related to dandyism. It is in the case of LeDandy because at one time he worked as a temporary employee at the GM office in Flint, Michigan back in 1989 for six boring months. I worked in the purchasing department doing something with Lotus worksheets. I do remember the two highlights of the day: going to lunch and then going home. There wasn't anything interesting in between these two times.

Even though I wasn't a full-fledged dandy at the time, yours truly did have a preference for colorful socks and low vamp shoes. I had a great pair of pale yellow socks with tiny black dots which I wore with some low vamp Cole Haan loafers. It may not seem like a big deal here now in San Francisco, but in Flint, Michigan this combination raised some eyebrows. LeDandy came up with a creative response to justify his wardrobe. Please read my "Herman Goering Defense" post. A fun read, I guarantee it.
