A Reader Question: Influential Film Actors/Characters and Clothing?

 A reader question:

Dear Muffy,

May I ask a question please

Having just watched the film "Bullitt" for the umpteenth time, it made me aware how much I was influenced in my youth by film actors/characters and their clothing. Steve McQueen was a particular favourite in anything as he was a very cool individual, but there were other films and characters that were an influence. Were any readers similarly influenced and if so by which film actors/characters.

Kind regards

Reader Question: Are "New Ivies" a thing?

A reader question:

 Thank you for your hosting the conversation of yacht clubs.  I have another question for the SWNE community.  Several sites have come up with their own lists of  private and public colleges and universities that they are calling "New Ivies", such as  Rice University, Georgetown University, Carnegie Mellon University.  Should this be a thing?  What do people think?  If so, what ones would make the cut?
