Coping with fashion tourettes
One day, while walking back to my office from the Ritz Carlton, I was standing on the corner of Market and Montgomery waiting to cross the street. My peripheral vision caught a man looking down at my shoes. He was wearing boot cut denim, a track jacket, Oakley sunglasses and listening to his iPod. He...
Julia Stiles is actually kind of funny
Julia Stiles has never made me laugh in any of her movies. Well, there was her role in the Bourne series, but I don’t think that was supposed to make me laugh. Then there is that one scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where she recites that poem. Again, I don’t think that’s...
Fashionable men’s room signs
As of late, every time I see a sign for a men’s restroom, this is all I can think of:
Being seduced by Jeremys
Out of the hundreds of times I have been to San Francisco’s luxury discount store, Jeremys, I have bought a total of 12 things; half of which I have donated to Goodwill – with justifiable reason of course.

Even though the embellishments on his jeans are highly unnecessary, I just think he needs guidance. This girl on the...
Calvin Klein male model search: Americans need not apply
Calvin Klein is making a call out to male models everywhere so that they can drop trow and show their tighty whities a la Marky Mark circa 1992. According to NBC New York’s blog, The Thread, this is how it’s gonna go down: Here’s how the competition, called “9 Countries, 9 Men, 1 Winner,” will...
Wrongness that is worth repeating
I posted this on my Facebook page a while back and I just needed to post it again. I saw this homegirl on 25th and Mission and I have no idea what is going on here. It’s like a gladiator sandal and a combat boot decided to have a bastard child. And don’t even get...
