Ever notice how a watch or bracelet is always being worn by models in ads?

Bracelets are a sure-fire way of making those arms you’ve been working on at the gym stand more without looking like you’re trying, especially the forearms. After all, the forearms are one of women’s most favored male attributes.

There are a lot of bracelets out there and some men will default to metal (sterling, stainless, silver, gold or titanium). No problem there, but this Fall go with something more rugged. We found this well-priced one at Abercrombie & Fitch of all places and it’s got October written all over it.

What this means to you: Rock the bracelet once and you’ll never stop wearing one. Pick up a few and rotate them out depending on the occasion or season.

Cost: $14 @ Abercrombie

Are you just another AFC (”average frustrated chump”) trying to meet an HB (”hot babe”)? How would you like to “full-close” with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss’s entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant–complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like “half a man.” That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss’s life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America’s most suave gents–including the best of them all, the God of the pickup “community,” a man named Mystery.

When a sports oriented vehicle company like BMW decides to make a crossover one wonders where it’s intentions will lie more heavily with. Then one wonders exactly how that vehicle is going to look, especially when the claim is to be a coupe-crossover, an even trickier mixture.

BMW’s new X6 is touted as a Sport Activity Coupe and based on the designs we can’t really give it any better title other than “Why does this vehicle look so good?”

This vehicle is the furthest thing from conservative. With a steeply raked windshidld and roofline that looks like something from a Porsche it’s designed for design and makes no compromises. Your rear seaters might have a comment or two about it though. Who cares when you’re stepping out of one of these.

What this means to you: Come early 2008 there will be no shortage of trendsetters (bona fide and not) chomping at the bit for this vehicle, but we can’t blame them.

Cost: MSRP TBD @ BMW

Starting with adjustable lumbar supports and interchangeable comfort zones (individual zones for shoulders, hips and legs) for personalized comfort the bed allows a virtually unlimited number if configurations for both yourself or your bedmate.

What this means to you: The price is no laughing matter, but a good nights sleep will never have meant so much until you’ve can say it was on a Swedish made Dux 8888.

There it is. The moment where you’re out to dinner and looking through the expansive wine list wondering which one you can select that isn’t going to cost a paycheck but isn’t going to make you look cheap. Oh, here’s a decent one - hopefully she didn’t see how much it cost.

Then it comes… the wine. It’s corked, poured and you’re supposed to swirl, swish and comment. What an ordeal. For those of you who aren’t phased by the wine serving process commercial restaurants have come to so love watch you squirm through, Taste of Purple has three glasses for you (or the rest of us). They’re designed to allow wine to aerate naturally without any effort on your part.

What this means to you: We could sit here and explain how it works, but then you’d think we knew way too much about wine.

Cost: $40-$129 @ Taste of Purple
