Sharp Dressed Man is My Cousin!
STYLE was the name of the game in Brisbane yesterday, as more than 30,000 Queenslanders stepped out to enjoy the Exhibition Day races as reported by the Courier Mail .
(p.12,Thursday the 14th and p19. Monday 25th August 2008).
But it took a special someone to pull off Eagle Farm Racecourse’s prize-winning look.
As the only guy competing in the event, civil engineer Stephen Challenger, 21, of Beachmere, north of Brisbane, had his work cut out.
Fortunately, his op shop buys, including $3 jacket and waistcoat for $1.50, stood him in good stead.
Mr Challenger, who also chose a pair of beige slacks and snakeskin shoes, impressed the judges so much they awarded him third place.
“I was trying to create that awesome-guy look that you see on the catwalks,” he said. “I don’t think you have to spend a lot on your clothes to look stylish.”
Congratulations Steve, third is the new first! You are always one Sharp Dressed Man!!!! Love Net

Wow! That boy looks sharp - must come from the Challenger side because I’ve never seen a Maynes man look like they’ve stepped from the pages of a fashion mag;-)
Annie what a terrible thing to say about the Maynes’. Dad used to look extremely swarve is his groovy purple safari suit and tie dye t-shirts!! OMG
That’s one stylish guy it’s easy to see he’s relatated to me!!!
