The man with flower elbow patches
I was walking down the street, furious about a project at work, when the sight of the elbow patches on the man in front of me calmed me down. The elbow patches were floral and gave a totally unexpected touch to his jacket. At first, I thought about letting him go, but eventually, I quickened my pace and called out to him...
"Hi, sorry to interrupt your call, but I absolutely love your jacket and... blah blah blah...""
Boris Izaguirre was charming and pleasant, like all Venezuelans, and he stopped so I could take a photo. I assure you that even though the gesture looks a bit odd, it was to better show the elbow patches, not to push away the impromptu paparazzi.
I love Boris; no matter what people say, this man has done a lot for good dressing and glamour (a word that was almost frowned upon before he arrived) in this country.
PS: THANK YOU for the beautiful comments on the previous post, you've made the artist very happy. Thank you, you're all so lovely.

I was right behind this man when I suddenly realised how cute his elbow patches were. I managed to catch up with him to find out he's a famous TV host. Born in Venezuela but probably more famous in Spain than in his own country. Socially savvy and with a great taste for fashion, he has written a few books about glamour and how to die for it.
