London is not what it used to be. Every cashmere covered tax optimizers favorite line about London over the past few years, which is why I, the starred guy, am here to put it to the test. Can one use their phone in public? No. Can one wear their favorite Audemars outdoors? Also, no. But can one still go to great restaurants, museums, and events like the Audemars Piguet one hundred fiftieth anniversary in London. Yes, they absolutely rank. Even though they may have to rush in and out of their cars to keep their Audemars safe. The London way, beautiful events indoors and phone thefts outdoors in the gray city that people love to complain about more than ever. So as I run into people I like at events and people I like less on Modcom, Mount, or Pavilion Good. I try to always focus on the beauty that this city still has to offer among all the chaos. While all the Yappers continue to say.
