isabelladangeloI forgot to tell everyone, Mister B was down in Williamsburg! No, really! Apparently he use to tease the inmates at the mental hospital...into becoming tailors? Hmmm...
For those that don't understand the vast importance of this - in a Victorian etiquette book, one of the rules was to not call your spouse by his or her surname initial such as "Mr. B". It was very hilarious (with a few glasses of jampagne) to hear that our ancestors would go around calling their spouses "Mr. B" rather than, ya know, John or Andrew or whatever their spouse's first name was...which, of course, was also incorrect but eh.
