Gyllenhaal’s Trouser Bottoms
Jake Gyllenhaal (pictured here), isn’t a Johnnie-Come-Lately to the late-August orgy of the overpaid that is Martha’s Vineyard. He’s been summering on the island most of his life. As a teenager, he was a lifeguard on the Vin’s Lucy Vincent Beach, where I once saw him somewhat hesitantly directing traffic on the waves. This week, he’s returned to the island. He isn’t sporting lifeguard attire but instead a redundant tee-shirt (we know you’re a star already, Jake) and a pair of shortened khakis. What’s the line from T.S. Eliot’s “Prufrock” poem? “I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”
Does he also dare to eat a peach? Or just Power Bars?
Nice cool drink of lemonwade.
