My friend Lord Whimsy (pictured above) has pointed to a fantastic new ‘triptych’ magazine (that I am going to pre-order as soon as I finish writing this post) called The Escapologist. In their words, “it’s a magazine about the desire to escape the various boring commitments that define modern life.” Clearly, right up the Poverty Jet Set’s alley. Whimsy’s got an article in the first installment (true, sir?) from hence this photo came. Looking forward to good things to come!

    I spent hours going through Lord Whimsy's site after seeing this post. Fascinating person to say the least. By the end of my visit I found myself on Amazon ordering his book. Thanks for sharing.
  • I agree with the last two comments. If the Escapologist is anywhere near as good as those shoes, I'm in for life.
  • Oh yeah! The brotha's got sole! ;)
  • even the soles of lord whimsy's shoes are quite amazing. nice!

    Wow! What an interesting idea. i liked the name of this group below, - The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
    it brings joy to my heart to see people working on such ideas. Yay!

    “If [the populous] were not mentally deficient, they would of their own accord have swept away this silly system [of work, money and status] long ago.”

  • Indeed! I can't wait to see it!
  • if the magazine is half as good as the description than you can't lose!
