Bad Men's Hair in 2007

So what was up with the bangs this years, the so called Zack Efron look. Makes you look like a 12 year old kid trying to be a part of the cool group. Guys, word of advice...lose the bangs, it looks stupid.

Bread Bar Century City

This is my favorite lunch spot and the ahi burger is the best in town.
I just swung by for dinner and they made it off the menu for me.
Doesn't get better than that.

More of 2007

So 2007 was not 2007 without the celebrity meltdowns. Owen Wilson wanting to commit suicide, vaginas all over the place, britney going bald. What is happening to this world is the question I pose, the answer is easy...demanding expectations.

Everywhere you turn there is a fucking special about the richest under 40 and then under 30, under 20. Who gives a fuck. I dont care. If anything it is distracting all of us from working and doing what is needed to get our ass on that type of list. To many people are drawn into a fantasy world where spending to acquire is our only validation. It's bullshit, and what happens? The subprime mortgage debacle.

That was a headliner for 2007 and look at our economy now. All investors are shaken and who is to blame? Not the wall street wizards who constructed these crazy deals, but the people who are obsessed with accumulating more than they can handle and getting dooped when the carrot is dangled in front of them. Say jump and they will surely jump.

The List for 2007

So the year is going to be wrapping up soon and for me it has been a crazy year. Here is our on going list for what made 2007.

Lets start and talk gadgets. There were a lot out there, but the one that made a statement was the iphone. Apple has taken over the consumer market with their sleek looking devices that have proved to be more than functional. The iphone was Steve Jobs' attempt to crack the cellular market. With a goal of taking in 1% of the market, Apple is on track to do so. I personally think this phone is the end all be all with the touch screen capabilities and wide screen features. Lets not stop there, the price hack made it much more affordable and the activation process is a cinch. No waiting in lines and you could do it in your underwear if you choose.

The phone can only get better and I think that it is already pretty spot on. Iphone....get one.

Top Cologne List

We are continuing the top cologne list and will keep you up to date with the 5 top colognes out there. The list is on the side to the left with links to the an individual page with details.

Keep your eye out.

Cologne: Unforgivable

This is no new cologne, but it is still one of the best. Unforgivable is luxury encapsulated in a bottle. Although Aqua Di Gio is a good choice for a cologne the new cologne from P. Diddy takes the pot. When you wear this cologne you exude masculinity, strength, and sophistication. Unforgivable has a rich, explosive, deep, and layered scent that grabs one’s attention. It baits her and draws her in, which of course makes it our pick to wear during a date.

Where to wear: This is the perfect choice for a date or for going out. She will definitely notice your cologne and ask you what you are wearing. After that it should be smooth sailing.

Content: Sicilian Lemon, Italian Bergamot, Green Mandarin, Moroccan Tangerine, Grapefruit, Juniper Leaves, Birch Leaves, Champagne Accord, Mediterranean Air Accord, Tuscan Basil, Florentine Iris, Clay Sage, Lavender, Cashmere Accord, Australian Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean, Rum

Where something that fits...

So I was at the WESC sale and saw this poor kid who was trying to be EMO (I hate the EMO look btw) and failing. When you think of EMO you think of way too tight clothes and of course a skinny dude. This kid was tubby putting on a way too tight pea coat.

If you are going for a look make sure it fits you. Dont try to fit something on that is way to tight on your body cause you will look like a slob. If you think wearing something too big and baggy makes you a slob, you are right, but the same applies for something too tight. Guys pick on tubby chicks who where something a size too small, well it also applies to us. Fit as ,we stress, is everything.

1st-ever WESC Warehouse Sale in the OC

Sorry folks, but I lost the image for the flyer but WESC sale at the Vestal HQ (You will have to hardcore google this location but I think it is on 17th St and Placentia) parking lot in costa mesa from 9am-5pm tomorrow, Saturday the 22nd. From 1pm-3pm you can meet the "WESC Activists", which are the likes of Jason Lee (From my name is Earl) and Chris Pastras.

Happy shopping for the holiday season.

Whiskey Militia

Weird fucking name for an online retail site, but this apparel site (sells Volcom, Analog, DC and such) has become crack for some of my friends. The business model is interesting, put a limited amount of one item each day and make it a race between people to buy it. The stuff isn't litmited edition by any means. You can pick it up at other stores, but at Whiskey Militia the items that they post for sale are extremely discounted and the shopping experience becomes a game. They do snag you for shipping charging about 5-6 bucks, but you should be over joyed that you were one of the selected few to get this item on discount so you will over look the high shipping charge.

I like most of the stuff and it is a unique idea. Check it out Whiskey Militia.

Cologne: Attitude by Giorgio Armani

Attitude by Giorgio Armani is a solid pick up. It smells good and has a firm commanding scent, which is crucial in a social setting. It has the right amount of musk giving it balance and masculinity.

Get this instead....

I like Persols, but ooooohhhh child those things are expensive. I like these Elmores from Von Zipper. Classy and clean. An acceptable alternative.

The Wayfarer boat has sailed and passed

I like the Wayfarer glass. Ray Ban has made a huge comback with their Never Hide campaign which can be seen all over the place. The Wayfarer paved the way, but now it is a has been. The glass is over played and if you try to jump on the band wagon you are just way behind and lame. If you got a pair, ditch it.

Details top 50...K-fed #7??

Highly suspicious. This guy gets #7 for being a good dad. Honestly this guy is a good dad by default. If the mother of your children was a neurotic coke fiend, you would look like a saint if you just looked at your kids in the eyes when you got home from work. But hey put him there and you have a story.

Movie: Juno

Go see this movie. It should be on the top of your list. If you like Superbad you will like this. It has the same shit, fuck, cock, and balls, but in the twisted world of high school intertwined with the ever changing maturity which challenges the young adult. Great story; very witty and sarcastic. I am a sucker for sarcastic humor.

RVCA

I recently hit up the RVCA warehouse sale and came out with a ton of swag. My favorite was the bario shirt I posted below.

There is no question that RVCA is the best brand out there. There t-shirts feel the best and are of the best quality. The ANP creates the best screen prints and everything is so unique. There is just enough wackiness there, if you know what I mean. I am also a big supporter of there denim line because they have the fit down.

RVCA is a bit pricey cause they have a boutique image, but if you know how to shop for it you can get it. Warehouse sales or the right shops. Definitely a solid buy.

Fedora

It's time to buy one. You can get them anywhere; Target, Pacsun, Tillys, Active Rideshop, 9star, Vals Surf, ZJ's, and probably Lids. The list is endeless. Pick up a dark color one to start.
