a visual collective outlet of inspiration
caravanserai’s were beautiful roadside inns for travelers and supported the flow of commerce, information and people across trade routes. some might even say that mail as we know it originates from this persian concept. tom schutyser went on a journey to discover and capture these architectural, historical and cultural phenomenons. the photographs from his travels will be shown in paris from june 18th-26th. if you find yourself in the right place at the right time; go take a look. if not, at least take a journey through tom’s travel log. by kv

1964 Ferrari 250 GTL LUSSO
o.k. we’re not big fans of ferrari here but the 250 GTL is an exception. someone needs to ask car manufacturer’s about what went wrong after the 60’s with automotive design? did they simply not take enough drugs? by dd
can’t wait for robert polidori
i think robert polidori is my all time favorite photographer and i am reminded of this every time i see his work. i am crazy for this new book compiling all of his versailles work, although i don’t know if it’s a reprint or a rework of his first book. of course it’s published by steidl, and of course it’s a treat ($120) but whatever “quand on aime on ne compte pas“ by pp’
the ultimate sneaker
converse silk pleated special editions
so, what is the ultimate sneakers? a pair you can wear with almost anything, a pair that dresses down a suit, but dresses up your jeans. a pair that (like most good quality stuff) just gets better with time. a pair that is simple, classic and even elegant, all at once. above is our picks! please ad your comments and tell us what’s yours. by kv

boxers or briefs?
yes – so yet again, there is a discussion heating up over here as to what should a man wear? loose or tight, boxers or briefs? feel free to share your opinion. one thing we do agree on, keep it solid, gents! no funny prints! by kv
1-tighty whiteys:
kv: charming
dd: actually why not. classic, safe bet but won’t rock the bedroom.
kl: not a fan
pp: you better be fit, tanned and brazilian… otherwise…
2- the sling shot:
kv: no way!
dd: needs to be spanked! hard! and sent back home to jersey.
kl: hot
pp: are you kidding??? ;-(
3- loose boxers
kv: exactly, just for sleeping
dd: aaaaall over the place… like walking into your grandpas bedroom at 10 am
kl: cute for making breakfast in
pp: my all time favs!
4- night club rags:
kv: if beckham wears it… don’t wear it!
dd: staten island special… oop-chik, oop-chik
kl: no words
pp: is the banana included in the price or is that an aftermarket purchase?
5- fitted boxers:
kv: yes that is about right
dd: i guess… but won’t work with tight pants. a bitch under APCs.
kl: perfecto
pp: i’m so over that! remind me of when i was 14… trying to be cool
6-seamless boxers:
kv: unless you have something to hide
dd: seamless matte HM 100% cotton will do the trick.
kl: perfecto moondo
pp: girdle style!
7: fogettaboutits:
kv: right on, free style
dd: hmm… the jim morrison special!
kl: commando can be a nice secret for the day
pp: the winter version of my fav!
conclusion:
kv: speedo’s are for eurotrash, the rest can survive somewhere, somehow. my vote: 1 and 5
dd: it’s a tough one. no perfect 10’s here. pending on weather, fabric, and the previous nights event somewhere between 1, 6, and 7 will have to do.
kl: men’s underwear looks better on a woman.
pp: well it’s already stated by me, loose boxers are the answer!
