You know how Spidey went all noir in Spider-Man 3? Well I’m blaming that same alien dark venom for infecting this innocent, yet gravely misguided good samaritan.  In secret, I’d love to be a Marvel comic character.  Thanks to Todd Randolph, I just got one step closer.

Q: Where can I get Gucci-like driving mocs, bling hardware optional, and not drop $900? A:  What’s really nice about the above Gucci driving moc is the sleek design, not so nice for many is the price tag of $425 (already less than $900 but still steep).  A great alternative are these driving mocs by [...]

When “change” came to America, was it only from the waist up? I must admit that, as major news networks, politico bloggers, and late show hosts all got themselves worked into a lather because of a single pair of jeans, I felt a little giddy.  Not only because, in part, I’ve dedicated my life to [...]

Compounding the tent tendency by sporting a ginourmous loud, garish Hawaiian shirt, (no [...]

There was a most interesting story in the Metro this week.  After being launched earlier this year, bras for men have been selling out of stock in Japan. This darkest of Victoria’s Secrets was originally produced in a single color, which clearly doesn’t work for the typical male who needs a variety of lingerie, is [...]

Jeans can be either a blessing or a curse. Get a great fitting pair and they’ll magically transform nearly everything in your closet, but choose ill-fitting jeans and they wreak havoc on anything you wear with them.

When it comes to music it’s all about creativity and originality. Those same principles when applied to clothing can lead to some dubious results. On stage Coldplay jokingly apologized to Paul McCartney for stealing the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper uniforms. Unfortunately, the apology was equally applicable to Hasbro’s© lot of My Little Ponies and the rest of their magical cartoon [...]

Buying clothing with prominent logos is the equivalent of working for someone else and then paying them for the privilege of doing so. Unless you are working to end world hunger (in which case a certain amount of charity is appropriate) this is not a wise strategy. You’re not a walking billboard, stop treating your body [...]
