The Best Highlight From Last Night’s ‘American Idol’ Finale
Last night, the molasses-voiced Scotty McCreery sang his way to the top of the heap of American Idol hopefuls and won the whole shebang. But the highlight of the evening was not his win nor was it J. Lo‘s rump shaking with her hubby Marc Anthony. It wasn’t the sterilized and cheesy group routine to...
Moment of Humiliating Vanity: 7×7′s Best Dressed Male
Click and enlarge if you dare I was featured in this month’s 7×7 Magazine as the best dressed male at the Ruffian Threads & Heirs Launch Party — which happened couple of months ago (it’s kind of old news but my ego told me to post it on my blog any way), I have to...
I am NOT stalking Walter Van Beirendonck
This past week, Walter Van Beirendonck was a special guest (along with a slew of others) during the Academy of Art University’s “Fashion Week.” I put quotes around “Fashion Week” because it wasn’t a full week — only four days. But I digress. The bearded and bejeweled (he wears some intense rings) artist is a...
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...
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...
Having a moment with ‘Vintage Magazine’
The new bi-annual publication, Vintage Magazine picked up where the innovative magazine, Flair by Fleur Cowles left off. The mag “pays homage to timeless design, fashion, culture, and the creative possibilities of print.” Thank God someone out there is reinvigorating the value of print. Combining the DIY aesthetic of a punk era zine and the...
I want these because I saw them in GQ
Yes, I am an easy sell. No, I don’t want Tom Ford. I want his sunglasses (from his own collection, of course) that he wore in his shoot for GQ’s December 2009 “Men of the Year” issue. He was chosen as the “Crossover of the Year” for his Oscar-buzzing movie, A Single Man. I really...
Viktor & Rolf get dismembered and holey
Mr. Horsting and Mr. Snoeren must be bored. Photos courtesy of Wire Image From a certain perspective, the boys from Viktor & Rolf did the expected at Paris Fashion Week. They gave the fashion community something to raise their eyebrows at: a collection of gowns that look like they’d be more appropriate as A.) something...
Busted by Blackberry: furry boots and embellished jeans
Saw these poor unfortunate souls last week while walking on the street. I decided to take candid pictures of them with my Blackberry and share them with the world: This guy can be easily forgiven. Even though the embellishments on his jeans are highly unnecessary, I just think he needs guidance. This girl on the...
