Sir Stirling Moss is photographed sitting in his Eames chair, because after winning some races, he’d asked for the chair instead of another silver trophy that would need polishing.
Reminds of Chuck Yeager complaining that he wished that when he was invited to give a speech somewhere that instead of a useless commemorative plaque, etc. they'd give him something he could use like a hunting knife or a fishing pole.

ReplyDeleteThat's genius! Who the hell wants another useless object that has to be displayed and dusted? Give away fishing poles, reels, good boots, etc!
