...singermagic1! Who is lucky enough to get the Just Men's Rings prize for giving us this mind-bruising vision:
the ugliest would have to be a big fake tigers eye ( looked plastic and was the size of a marble) it was in the center of a cluster of really bad cubics. Very tacky
I wouldn't make Hitler or even Perez Hilton wear that shit at his funeral. Thanks for participating and keep checking in because the next contest starts VERY soon!
Musings on Men's Fashion - Review of Heritage Oxford Shirt
Lands' End Canvas specializes in casual women's and men's clothing - can't say I've heard of them before I got an email from one of their marketing directors. Let's see how their men's Heritage Oxford Shirt fairs under the Ian treatment.
First off: love the pink stripes. They're not that neon-bright shade flaunted on Thomas Pink shirts, but not bashful by any stretch. Secondly, it's made with treated 100% Cotton, so it's damn soft and comfy. Laid-back like whoa.
I gotta say, though, these buttons are a little uninspired. There is a definite difference between "casual" and "cheap" - unfortunately this piece missteps into the latter with its choice of fasteners. Still, I like this shirt enough to consider taking matters into my own diabolical hands and supplanting the issued buttons with designers ones I find online.
The collared shirt machine washes very well after I got some chicken soup and broccoli juice on the sleeves. All and all, I'd recommend the Heritage Oxford Shirt for men looking for a little flair in their casualwear.

Lesson #105: You need a hip flask
Stand aside you scurvy dogs, the hip flask is a man's true best friend - especially at shitty parties, overpriced bars, and business conferences. But who wants to be best friendsies with a hobo-quality merchandise?
Target Flat Hip Flask
INFEASIBLE: Cheap crappy hip flask
I'm not going to lie: I had this very same piece of junk at one point in my life and, Christ, was it ever more annoying than what it was worth. First of all, the head is too small for both pouring in and out. Secondly, the latch literally stopped working properly (I don't get it, it's a friggin' simple machine!). Thirdly, it would get cold on the exterior very easily and numb my fingers whenever I took a swig. I left this disgraceful vessel in alleyway somewhere in SoHo after its continuously disappointing performance.
Classic Leather Hip Flask
Feasible: Hip flasks with a touch of class
Sure, you might be an alcoholic if you think spending decent money on a hip flask is a good idea, but being an drunkard and being a sophisticate ain't exactly mutually exclusive (see Frank Sinatra). This Aspinal of London piece is glorious with its leather cover and lifetime guarantee. I wouldn't leave this gem in a ditch - whiskey a go-go.

What's Wrong With This Picture?: Royston Langdon
There are, count 'em, three things wrong with Royston Langdon's outfit as seen here. First, what's with the shabby grey trenchcoat, complete with tomato orange colored buttons? I understand that vintage crap is still -somehow- the craze after all these years, but I don't think anyone at any time in history thought that coat was fresh.
Second, those are some hideous clown sneakers. Bright orange, green and blue are wonderful for Bozo's repertoire, but not for a musician. And third, what possessed you, Roy, to pair these two junk pieces together in the same ensemble? Seriously, I'm at a loss.
Liv, you'd be smart to keep your distance.

Lesson #104: Sunglasses for the coming Spring
Believe it or not, I felt the Sun beaming down on me more than a few times this last week of February. And where there is sun, soon there is bound to be shades. But what should you know about sunglasses before you wear a pair to announce the coming of Springtime?
Oakley Fuel Cell
INFEASIBLE: Sunglasses featuring bright colors
Wow, that purple is something else. In that something else, any other color really, makes more sense to feature on a pair of sunglasses - unless you're filming one of those futureshock movies and the villain need wear something ridiculous like this pair as he/she sends waves of mutants to fight the protagonist. Even the frames of this Oakley are a bit sidesplitting in that they are bulky, unwieldy, and look like shards of ice. Finally, the mere fact that it's been branded "FUEL CELL" is just a tasteless ploy to misdirect some attention from Green activism. Ugh.
But speaking of green...
Mosley Tribes Aviator Sunglasses
Feasible: Sunglasses with color, just not NEON BRIGHT colors
These shades pull off a seldom used color in sunglasses: green. It works because we're not talking about neon green here, but rather something more akin to obsidian green, which far from screams "attention-whore" (see those Oakleys). There's nothing wrong with a little color in your avi's, just keep the tone cool and low-key.
