Eyeglassed

A double-eyeglassed dandy, with dyed whiskers, which he paws and throws over his shoulder, who does not drawl his words, but speaks them somewhat through his nose, and with a stutter and a lisp, may not seem a very novel or attractive sort of character, but, as Mr. Sothern plays it, really it is both.

Some things are unforgettable. For instance, I once read that rotund, eyeglassed comedian Drew Carey, who comes across so square he’s cubic, has pierced nipples.

The room provides a view of the kind of restaurant scene only a city that has both money and space can provide: a large, airy dining room set under low ceilings, with wide tables and gentle lighting, packed close with artists, curators, dealers, gallery guys, smart-eyeglassed business tyros in three-piece suits, fat burghers eating Irish steak, French entrecote, Argentine beef.
