I agree with Sue. Ditch the suspenders.

I have a brother who's fond of wearing red suspenders with his business suit (he's a lobbyist for a teachers' union). Between that and his Geraldo hair and bandit mustache he cuts quite a figure in Albany (to my sister-in-law's despair). He HAS cut back on his overall shagginess, though.

Back to Gord ... he can be comfortable and still look real good. If, like many men, he hasn't a clue as to what suits him, he has only to ask a trusted tailor, or a friend with good fashion sense. I'd hate to think we have to take up a collection for the guy and send along a copy of the Men's Fashions section of the New York Times, or whatever men's mag (GQ? - I'm so out of touch here) covers what to wear.

I don't think he's trying to make a fashion statement with the suspenders; maybe it's just a matter of holding the pants up, LOL. Suggestions from male Lightheads??
