It has been noted by some of the more astute media observers that Rupert Murdoch attended his fifth wedding wearing a conventional lounge suit and ‘sneakers’. Has Rupert gone punk asked one observer who suggested that this attire was more in line with the rebellious streak one would expect from Keith Richards or perhaps Sir Rod Stewart who have been known to challenge conventional dress standards from time to time. Perhaps Rupert is setting a new fashion style for the ninety-year-old celebrity man-about-town or maybe he thought he was going for a jog or an outing to the beach : who knows ?
To the casual observer it may seem that Rupert’s upmarket plimsolls may have just been for comfort and balance which instantly brings Joe Biden to mind as he is also known to sport [orthopaedic] sneakers on odd occasions when you would expect a pair of polished Oxfords as more appropriate to set off his besuited ensemble.
It has also been noted that Joe is frequently seen to be surrounded by stocky people these days when he is out and about : some say that this is possibly a take from Weekend at Bernie’s but that could be a tad unfair – more likely these solid folk surrounding POTUS are there to step in with a helping hand when he stumbles periodically or to nudge him back onto the straight and narrow should he stray.
But let’s be honest, us old codgers are generally more comfortable in a pair of favoured slippers or our comfortable sneakers and when you are on your fifth marriage, as the old coffin dodger is, I suppose it’s not such a big deal and his bride, in her sixties, should she wish to be carried over the threshold of their love nest will require her stud to demonstrate stamina and a sound footing.
Each to their own !
