Timeless Tips
Image
I ran across an article from 1945 about basic style advice for men, that while over half a century old, still has merit, and thought you might enjoy reading it. Fashion is fleeting, Style endures. Continue reading

Sting: Live in Berlin with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Image
I've seen Sting in concert repeatedly for nearly thirty years, starting with the Police in 1983 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, to last year at the Wiltern here in Los Angeles. (Sting at the Wiltern, December 2011) He's always been an outstanding showman, with one of the deepest catalogues... Continue reading

Roger Ebert: Two Thumbs Way Up

Like most people who care, I was upended when Marc Sternberg stuck his head in my office on Thursday to report that Roger Ebert had just passed away. Given that Ebert had just posted the day before about taking a 'leave of presence', due to the reoccurrence of his cancer,... Continue reading

TV Worth Watching: Spring 2013
Image
Will there ever be an opportunity to pay for television a la carte'? I rarely watch more than five shows at any given time, yet I end up paying a ridiculous amount of money for television channels that I've never heard of, let alone watch. It's a frustrating practice, one... Continue reading

Carl Weathers: Still Fighting Fit
Image
Working in the entertainment business, I've had an opportunity to work with and get to know a number of people that you've seen on the big screen and in the privacy of your home. Most of those experiences are great, only a few have been unpleasant, and occassionally a real... Continue reading

Thanks Ron. Of course, that's useless info for you. You are impeccably attired at all times. The best dressed man in LA as far as I'm concerned.

The Fit Matters

Consider this post a public service. A few friends, some ladies and a couple of guys have mentioned to me more than once that they strongly felt that it would be beneficial if I wrote a post about how often their boyfriends, husbands, etc. leave the house to go to... Continue reading

Looking Back On Love

Last year I made one of my many sojourns to the Grammy Museum to check out another music based event. This one featured a new documentary, by Mathieu Bitton, 'Looking Back on Love', chronicling the origins and creation of Lenny Kravitz's latest album, 'Black & White America'. I've never been...

Mercedes Benz sponsored the first Fashion Week event of the year, earlier this month in New York. A showcase for many of the world's top designers to present their new wares, as well as a great opportunity for stylish civilians to show what they're working with.

In short, Justin Timberlake has returned to the music scene with his new single 'Suit & Tie', featuring Jay-Z. There's a lot of excitement... Continue reading

UGG for men (really)
Image
One of the fashion trends of the last few years that I never understood, nor ever liked, was the fascination with the Australian made UGG boot, worn by women year round. You've seen Uggs, even if you didn't know it. Here's a slice of life: They're even worn with bikinis!... Continue reading

Return of the Stingray

This blog isn't particularly car-centric, but Chevrolet is coming on so strong with the return of one of the great American muscle cars, and it has to be acknowledged. While the car isn't for me personally, I can appreciate the workmanship and impressive design. Probably due out in the third... Continue reading

The western is a beloved genre' that seems to always be grasping for air. Every once in awhile one will come to the big screen and connect with audiences, as most recently seen in Quentin Tarantino's latest film, 'Django Unchained'. But for every one that scores, it seems that there... Continue reading

The Wire: Better Late than Never
Image
"Give it at least four". That's been my mantra when it comes to HBO hourlong dramas. From 'The Sopranos' to 'Deadwood', 'Rome' and 'Boardwalk Empire', a four episode minimum will help the viewer make the transition from the typical 'done in one' format of network television to the more fleshed...

It's been an eventful year in pop culture.
