a visual collective outlet of inspiration
i’m generally not a huge fan of h&m and co but i have to admit that the magazine they did for their high hand brand (cos, not available in the US yet) is very nice, there is a huge influence from fantastic man but whatever, it’s pretty, and on top of that you can download it hi-res! by pp’

not so hot: The sartorialist
the sartorialist was a blog we all liked. many of our friends have been featured on it and it was a good effort on collecting street styles in the footsteps of time-out, and other numerous publications before it. what set it apart was that people got to comment, positively and negatively. but have you ever noticed that most, if not all, of the recent comments posted on the blog are love letters filled with positive feed back? such as “H.O.T”, “I love this guy he’s so chic”, “oh my god, her shirt is to die for, I want it”, “what a cool looking dude” and so on… I mean who’s looking at this blog anymore? if not scott shuman and his pals then a bunch of admirers from milwaukee? normal people have opinions, good and bad. I personally have commented in the past on the blog and usually a mix of positive and negative. I never checked back to see but I started noticing that whenever i submitted the slightest of negative comments, it magically disappeared in to the ether, never to be posted! at first i thought that scott schuman, the 3 foot tall founder of sartorialist, may have been too busy tying his bow tie to see the submission but upon my return I noticed many other positive posts had been blessed by the newly fascist regime. we hope democracy can be restored to the fashion world and if not, may we suggest changing the name from the “sartorialist“ to the more-appropriate “sorryasslist” until you post our latest submission regarding your prada post, we’re positive you can dig it up under tomorrow started. we will be happy to withdraw our accusations at that point.

Aquascutum by christopher sturman
nice visuals for the english trench-coat manufacturer and now fashion house aquascutum. the plan is to give you a sense of its manufacturing process and thus its quality, and to be honest they are rather well made but awhile ago i looked into them and I could not find a single design i would care to wear. nice pictures now its time to hire a good designer. by dd

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!
