david downton
it looks like rene gruau, but it’s not rene gruau, it’s david downton. at first i couldn’t really figure out if the guy was still around or if he was 80 years ago, but now i know. the dude is not so old, just some really talented guy with a kind of classical vision. by pp.
don’t go changin: model ANDREJ PEJIC
we couldnt include this image in the other post as the colors didn’t match but as you may know shes a he and doing it quite well.
so far so good… but we hope andrej doesn’t go through any plastic surgery and kitsch-ify this whole thing. so far its dignified. it goes like this, a pretty young aussie boy, dressed up to look like a girl, receives money and fame. nothing wrong there. work it all the way, but don’t do the sex change thang, you’ve been smart and having it all. just don’t pander to them, not even victoria’s secret, be who you are and if they take you then go as you are. weve been trying to sell make up to boys for years, the day will come. by dd

kyoku: shave baby shave
hot sake may be the cure for a winter evening but cold sake is now the cure for a close shave. kyoku is a line of mens care that uses sake as its main magic ingredient. 25 years of research may seem meaningless but the simple packaging is rather convincing. sake infused shaving cream around $35… could be a nice summer treat! by dd

an aphrodisiac
after reading that this eau de parfum by killan has been created to be an olfactive aphrodisiac, using the narcotic lure of tobacco I am extremely curious to smell this . never did I imagine the smell of tobacco as an aphrodisiac…this surely has to be tested immediately. the back to black can be purchased at aedes de venustas for a mere $225. by kv
