buzz bissingers gucci addiction

this is a safe space

u are among friends carl

thread now needs a picture of the self edge dude and his all-denim wedding tuxedo

there are not enough photos of buzz on the internet. i sincerely hope some noble hacker is furiously attempting to get in to his email/phone as i type this.

request selfies

you think gwb is an accomplished artist? boy do i have some jpegs for u

My only regret is that Buzz wrote this before being introduced to ponyplay

he brags about his ponyhair jacket, tho

Everyone at work who I have mentioned this article to has said to me "how do we get his number?!?"

james fallows:

Speaking of "What Exactly Is the Deal?", I have gone back and forth about Buzz Bissinger's extended "shopaholic" confession in GQ. This is either one of the most subtly skillful and elaborate April Fool's Day hoaxes anyone has ever pulled off ... or one of the most unintentionally embarrassing, you-have-to-turn-away-because-it's-cruel-to-keep-watching acts of unaware self-humiliation anyone has ever committed. Because I so greatly admire Bissinger's A Prayer for the City -- yes, even more than Friday Night Lights -- I am really hoping it's the former. And, 51-49, betting that way too.

Photo of Bissinger, after a (spoofed? this can't really be true?? can it???) leather-pants buying spree, from GQ.

his earlier pics and bipolar status make it unlikely to be hoax

is buzz okay?

thought about buzz the other day. hope his recovery is going well. i also hope he writes something about it.

i think lewis black needs to star in a funnyordie video as buzz doing selections of the GQ piece as a monolouge

ooh, good call

my god, this happened this year

I can't believe I had forgotten

buzzs rocker look never forget

wish he had capitalized on his meltdown a little longer a la charlie sheen but i am glad dude is getting help (i think)

personal shopper

oh lol is this where "done" came from?

this dude's name pops into my head every 5-6 weeks and then I giggle like a fiend

heeeeee

in general i do my best to espouse the attitude that ppl can and should do what they want provided it's not directly harmful to others but i just reread that article and i simply cannot agree w/anyone owning 41 pairs of leather pants.

five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear. five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear.

just reflecting back and loling at how he never really got into shirts and just wears whatever tee w his $10k leathers

ikr? i guess there aren't that many leather shirts around.

i would buy a gucci-leather-bound volume of the gq essay, surprised no ones made one yet in fact

I own eighty-one leather jackets, seventy-five pairs of boots, forty-one pairs of leather pants, thirty-two pairs of haute couture jeans, ten evening jackets, and 115 pairs of leather gloves.

NO SHIRTS

needs some kinja

The Brotherhood of the Traveling $5K+ Burberry Prorsum Made in Italy Lambskin Leather DB Trench Jacket Coat 44 NR

oh shit the diane von furstenburg jacket on auction now is the one from the photo in the first post!

Buzz wrote the Vanity Fair piece on Caitlyn Jenner

Somehow knew that when I saw this thread bump.

Wonder if Buzz will take on something similar in his public identity at some point. At the time of his article, it was like lol luxury metrosexual, but those heels...
