1 in a Billion... err Brazilian
If beauty is about grabbing attention, you won’t need a Ph.D in rocket science to comprehend how lovely Isabeli was discovered at the young age of 16. Yes, for better or worse, this Brazilian (shocker!) and formerly Mormon (umm..shocker?) vixen made her start appearing in Victoria Secret’s lingerie catalog while she was still a minor. [...]
Best Idea Wins Some Gear
UPDATE: The best idea will receive a Bosca Black Nappa Leather Card Case ($60). A much better way to carry those business cards of yours, just don’t go all American Psycho on us. It’s no secret that people are paring down the buying and ratcheting up the saving. Luxury and egregious consumerism are fast becoming [...]
Multitasking Audio & Video, at a Great Price
Home theater receivers have always been intimidating products, especially for first time buyers. Four years ago though, picking the best device hinged solely on audio performance.

Not-So-Essential Man Knowledge: Opening Champagne With A Saber
Somewhere, there’s a list of a man’s essentials skills that includes the ability to open a bottle of bubbly with a sword, knife, or saber.

By Robert Farago | The Truth About Cars As the salesman retrieved the key for the demo GranTurismo, I approached the trunk of the sleek silver siren sitting on the showroom floor. Even though I was opening the Maserati’s boot rather than its bonnet, I felt like a pre-teen rifling through a copy a Playboy [...]

Rain Nor Snow Shall Disturb Thine Shoe Shine
“In like a lion, out like a lamb…” That famous adage* New York City Mayor Bloomberg quoted pretty much sums up my thoughts on March – a month marked by both nasty late Winter and early Spring weather. You men that care and take care of your shoes (which all men should do) or spend [...]
A Gripping, First-Hand Account from a WWI Soldier
As men, rightly or wrongly, we are judged by our bookshelves. Our reading choices speak to who we are intellectually, as well as what kind of men we are. Every man’s bookshelf should contain a book about war, and one of my favorites is Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger. Jünger was a German soldier [...]
