Materialistic Purchase of March: Ann Demeulemeester Vs. the iPad 2

Because I am a materialistic whore, I just have to buy as much as possible; further putting me in debt — but all my purchases have ulterior motives: 1.) Makes me look good and we all know that material things boosts sense of self and 2.) Wearing major labels and/or purchasing the latest piece of...

Get Some Free ‘White Collar’ Shirts

Matt Bomer (left) and Kaley Cuoco at the Golden Globes (AP Photo/NBC, Paul Drinkwater) Remember last night on the Golden Globes when Jim Parsons won for Best Actor for his role in The Big Bang Theory? Remember when his co-star Kaley Cuoco presented him with the award and was genuinely proud and excited for him?...

On the Hunt for New Waxed Denim

Last year, I was on the searching for some treated pants — waxed denim to be exact. Lucky for me, I found a pair of April 77 waxed cotton pants on sale at the Barneys CO-OP while on a a visit to Houston’s monstrous Galleria mall. I thought I was victorious — until yesterday. Whilst...

An ‘A.OK’ Pop Up Shop

Make sure your Thursday is clear, because the NYC store known as OAK is gonna push their hipster goods via their private label, A.OK at a pop up shop. I’ve been there a couple of times on my trips to New York, but never bought anything — mainly because the timing wasn’t right. Payday never...

Camera Phone Voyeurism: James Perse Sample Sale

Today at work, I stepped out for a little ciggy break and saw this near New Montgomery and Howard. No, it’s not the car passing by — it’s the window further in the distance. Apparently there is a James Perse sample sale starting April 23 continuing through the 25. I scoured the net to find...

My New Shoes are Better Than an iPad

A guy raises his newly purchased iPad as if it were a 10 Commandments tablet. (Photo credit: Josh Lowensohn/CNET) On April 3, gaggles of people flocked to Apple stores all over the world for the new iPad. It was as if Apple was selling locks of Justin Bieber hair. I, on the other hand, opted...

Pacquiao is watching over us

Now that John Park got the boot on American Idol, Manny Pacquiao is driving the Asian American pop culture train. He is our only hope. All of our eyes are on him. He is our God. He is watching over San Francisco in the form of a billboard perched atop Nike Town in San Francisco’s...

‘Man up’ San Francisco!

It’s about damn time something like this happened. Man Up is a pop up store started by the Durable Goods Concern to make all the folks in San Francisco aware that there are some menswear designers that can make it hot. The three-day event will include designers such as Taylor Stitch, AB Fits, Pierrepont, Union...

There’s a naked man hanging around my neck

The other day, my friend/colleague Cheryl told me that MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing, not the makeup store) in Hayes Valley was having an uber-sale. Seeing as though I easily succumb to peer pressure, we went after work. Now MAC isn’t your normal San Francisco store. It is the ultimate destination for label whores like myself....

On a quest to find the perfect pair of gloves

I need a pair of leather gloves. And I need them now. I have been on this search for a while and I still haven’t found a pair that fits me like – well – a glove. Either they are too loose, too tight or are just plain ugly. I want a pair of sleek...

Who in the hell is going to buy these?

I wasn’t going to blog about those new Rodarte sweaters for men, but after being really irritated by their $2,760 price tag and the fact that I need some blog filler, I reconsidered. Nice neck tattoo. Why couldn’t they release a version for their cheaper Target line? If you must get your hands on these...

Looking for the ultimate undershirt?

Apparently, Tommy John has found the perfect undershirt for us guys. It contours to your body and stays put the whole entire day. No bunching, untucking, or riding up. It is possibly the best undershirt ever made. Don’t believe me? Then ask founder Tom Patterson at the Neiman Marcus in Union Square at 10 a.m....
