  • Fall lines already out?

    It seems like with each passing year, the lines become more blurred on when one season starts and another begins. I used to think that it was absolutely preposterous when places would get all decked out with Christmas garb before Thanksgiving. Actually, I still kind of think that. Anyway, these days some places will shamelessly…

    I recently joined the SoJones team as a contributor. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, yet. Here is a link to an article that I wrote, over the weekend dealing with what to wear riding, this summer. The site deals generally with hip hop and urban fashion trends. It is a…

    Lining the bottom of the cage this week. As a side note, it looks like the little guys (and girls) have been busy. Look what’s going on in the nest:

    I have had really bad luck about things being stolen, lately. I had my bike stolen this summer, I have had various Ipod accessories stolen from my office. This last weekend, my favorite cardigan was taken right off of the back of my chair. So freaking lame. I normally leave one in my office all…

    When I was walking from the train to my building this morning, I came across a guy wearing a huge scarf, thick corduroy blazer and wool slacks. He was visibly sweating. It is (and was, at the time) 70 degrees outside. I know that everyone just hit all of the back to school sales and…

    Nothing says “fall is here” like doing some pull ups in the woods, wearing only boxer briefs. I think that, in this ad, Perry Ellis was aiming for a composition that all guys can relate to. Because honestly, what guy can’t say that in all of those times they found themselves wandering through the woods…

    Alright, as with the Guess and Nautica ads, I actually think that the clothing in this particular ad is swanky. I also covet the G-70. It appears to be a finely crafted vessel. This shot though, comes off so awkwardly. What is going on in this picture? They get all dressed up for a boat…

    For those who like to work out wearing business casual attire, Nautica has the thing for you. The “True Khaki.” As you can see by the photo of these guys running across sundial bridge, Khaki is very versatile workout attire. I bet Santiago Calatrava himself wears Nautica khakis for jogging. Who wouldn’t want to forgo…

    Ok, I don’t really know what happened to Guess. I used to freaking love their stuff. Reagan and I would go to their store in Roosevelt Field mall when we were first dating, and spend like 2 hours in there. There was actually one girl who worked there, that asked where Reagan was, one time,…

    It is back-to-school season. Football starts this weekend. The temperature will soon start to drop. All of that can only mean one thing: fall fashion ad campaigns. For whatever reason, I read several men’s magazine. I subscribe to enough of them, in fact that Gay Men’s Health, took notice and has been hitting me up…
