A really well dressed guy that lives in a cool climate. You wouldn't wear that shit in Texas or Florida or Missouri.

The upper class did, even before air conditioning. I don't know how they did it.

Probably with the aid of their fainting couch.

I'd love a fainting couch, all I have is this stupid blackout futon.

Lots of enslaved labor doing all their shit for them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago
