Well, in a way it does. The use of Esquire both as a term for males of the lower gentry (with the subtext it gained as a term for young bachelors) and also for attorneys etc, which was a fairly typical career for the sons of the wealthy, meant that the term took on wealthy, playboy aspects. Hence Esquire for a men's mag.

I got that Dana, but that mag is full of crap - It has no standards of anything - For example - from their mainpage:

I've seen that savant draw the cityscape from memory, on youtube, it's fantastic. They take him for a helicopter ride over Rome and then he draws like a 20' long panorama in complete detail. It includes the number and layout of the windows and the trim detail of every building.


Uh, now back to the regularly scheduled thread.
