yeah.. i noticed that too, Elsa..
Jaime seems to be a typical businessman where he has to be mobile & in-touch everywhere he go. this time with a bluetooth...
i remembered when he went to the athens olympic games, he always have a cellphone's headset on his ear & neck.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Cape Season is back, or as some of us like to call it: Duke Dracula drives Audi
You know what the duke remark stands for, don't you?
I understand Madrid is cold in this season of the year, but he's gonna scare the kids with that thing (except his own because they are used to it, I hope); does he even know what is a overcoat?
What's the difference between a cape and a mantle, I'm kind of confused about that

They're synonyms I guess. Mantle is a bit more formal word, I believe, but their basically the same. I don’t know why, but if I put things like this, I would say that cape recalls me Superman (and don’t ask me why…), while mantle is more suitable for Dracula…

...well, nevermind

Jaime Marichalar... out of the cape, but still with the bluetooth

Felipe Froilán is 7 years old and Victoria is 5. I believe this corresponds to a 2nd grade to the boy and kindergarten still for the girl.

jaime in New York making some shops. face to face

[LaChicaMadrilena]

He has such a large variety of inyeresting trousers: green trausers, red trausers... I'm really impressed, what can I say...

[Alisa]

Those pants are hideous and rather illfitting! I wonder what Jaime bought at Apple

I have noticed a headset, too. But he wears it ALL the time -- even in formal situations which has made me wonder if sometimes it isn't a headset but other times it resembles a headset but actually is a monitor for any stroke-like activity. Maybe I'm all wrong on this one, but there are occasions (I wish I could recall exact photos) where I have seen him with that "headset like thing" and where it is clearly inappropriate to be wearing something like that, and that has led me to wonder if it isn't a device that is somehow medically helpful to him. On the other hand, does he have the type of 'individualistic' personality that would make him do what he wants regardless of the situation -- in that case, perhaps it is a headset?

He dresses weird and funny for someone who is in the fashion business.

[crisiñaki]

Everytime I look at him I remember the Santa Claus' elves, the only thing missing is the red-striped shirt and the suspenders
