Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 23, 2023

looks like me before a final exam back in college

On the other hand, Allen is completely unaware of his total lack of grace and poise.

The creepy eyes ruin the look.

That used car salesman smarm

He has his eyes on George Hellinspitter. However Virginia Hellinspitter has her eyes on him. ( see where this is going?) Let’s watch…..

He seems to have taken the fried egg fabric his wife ordered for a dress and used it to fashion a shirt. In Ballard that is considered cross dressing.

With real hair, Allen is a god among Ballard men

He’s just swave and deboner!!!

The one word that doesn’t belong there: Understated.

Wait until he does that Tom-Selleck-as-Magnum thing with his eyebrows.

You are very elegant, Allen.

Everyone on Ballard Street wants to be like Allen. He is so elegant. Understatedly so.

Wait…is Ballard Street making fun of my hair?

I really don’t know how he can think that with that bird’s nest on his head…

Smug

It’s a wonder that, among his neighbors, his “elegance” is completely unstated.

Allen has the look of semi-oppullance……

Allen exudes an air of confidence and refinement, unfortunately he also exudes an air of moth balls.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

With hair like his.. and when he is wearing his finest shirt, elegance is a given.

A legend in his own mind.

Allen is anything but understated.

Allen’s elegance is so understated as to be non-existent.
