My tailor is rich, no its Ajay

Being tall and funny shaped, thanks to the good work of my loving parents, you sometimes need to adapt yourself in style to it. I have been doing that for a number of years by using the professional help of Ajay the Flying Indian Tailor. A very friendly giant that has companies all over the world and is trying to push his tailoring business locally. He makes fantastic shirts and suits and he likes my strange taste when he shows the fabrics (ah Erwin, you will like this cos nobody likes it) all with the fantastic accent and big smile.

Phrases like; dont worry Erwin or I will give you a special price, do sound lots better with the accent, it almost feels like you are on holiday and being ripped off by some Thai tailors...
Well today there was a quick visit from Ajay to bring some dress sense to three Dutch gentlemen that are all doing business in the South of France and are of the potato variety, if you know what I mean. I felt like a hostess of a Tupperware party !

After having seen many different samples, they ventured into unknown territory by being measured. It was funny to see that grown up men are still not very relaxed when another start measuring them and asking intimate question about the way you wear your trouser, shirts etc

Luckily for them, Ajay is a pro and he is quick and it hardly hurts.
The potatoes ended up with a number of shirts and diner jackets but not all of them ordered something. They were more weary of odering cos you never know... Indeed, you might end up with a shirt that has three arms and bright orange...
It was clear today, a potato likes to get well dressed but lacks a bit of balls, but I guess that come as no surprise to many...
