    On the one hand: It’s downright regal and impressive. Imposing, even.

    On the other: I don’t own enough land, or run enough countries, to pull this look off.

    For a fun photoshoot, sure, but we’d better have other costumed people and a movie set to contextualize it as something wholly fictional and otherworldly. Otherwise, as this thread illustrates, people are going to draw their own conclusions and they’re not all going to be nice.

      Eh, I’d say it just takes the right event. Beers with the boys at the blue-collar bar? Probably a bad idea. Any event that says ‘semi-formal’ to ‘formal’? Fuck it, we ball.
