Joe Torre and his Pinkie Ring
Posted by: Richie Rich in Commercials, Mets, Uniforms, Yankees, YouTube
Our latest commercial is from the late seventies, as current New Tork Yankees manager Joe Torre hawks some fine looking suits for the defunct Bond’s Clothing Store in New York City …
I’m pretty sure that Torre was managing the New York Mets when he made this commercial.
I love how Torre and another gentleman have successfully accessorized their Three-Piece Suits with Pinkie Rings. Can you get any more 1970’s New York Italian-American than that? Torre is from New York.
I’m guessing that Bond’s dressed the Corleone family.

The other gentleman in this commercial with the big glasses is my grandfather. This video has been taken off you tube and have yet to find it anywhere else.

I have always been a fan of folding paper particularly making paper airplanes. I started with a software called The Greatest Paper Airplanes published by Kitty Hawk. Unfortunately the software is no longer distributed today. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes. It’s a good place to start learning origami.

Good post. I just found this Origami-inspired Twitter icon at Digg, which you can use on your blog if it is running WordPress.
