He could wear the mink cashmere cap with the mink parka on Saturday night. On Sunday He could wear the black and red cashmere cape with the Michael Jackson fedora to church. Fun with fashion, faith and someone else’s money.

I once ran into Jesse in Vegas. I was wearing a sport coat, he was wearing a red leather jump suit! And he had 3 YOUNG ladies with him.

It appears that JJ Jr. is a big collector. Perhaps he should appear on American Pickers.
Ridiculous!!
I never pay more than $1,200 for my cashmere capes.
