miss broadway: glass candy does belle epoque

ok it’s disco week at tomorrow started…. here’s another one from the same era but remade by glass candy.  funny enough, this song was originally written by a french band during the disco era that scored just a few hits before fading into history. the lyrics are funny especially the intro, when done with a french accent. by dd

the art of smoking – fantastic man

smoking… too bad it’s so bad.

probably one of the best men fashion story ever in probably one of the best men fashion magazine ever. “the art of smoking” in a old issue of “the fantastic man”. by the way, i found this on nolayout, which is such a cool website. some editors of independent magazines, scan their babies and put it on the net… there is this dirty thing about the scanning business that feels like it’s from the 90’s, love it! by pp
