Prey for the Hunted

Every man who gives a damn about how he looks should have a few wardrobe items on a mental list that if he runs across them he can act without hesitation. For me one of those items is a Barbour International Jacket. The international is the same jacket Steve Mcqueen wore at the International 6 Day Trials in East Germany in 1964.

Barbour or J Barbour & Sons as it is properly know was established in 1894 when they were fashioning oilskin overcoats for all types of tradesmens in rainy coastal England. The Barbour product and reputation have only become more revered as the company has stayed family owned for over 4 generations.

I have owned a few Barbour jackets but I have never come across the right vintage International, until recently. I sit here in the worst economy in recent history unsure of how I will scrape together money for Christmas gifts for friends and family much less pay my insane car insurance bill that is sitting on my desk, but when you come across something so perfect you just gotta say : “Fuck it”

In 2007 the French conglomerate PPR bought controling interest in Puma. At first it was unclear how the sportswear giant would fit in with Gucci and other preium brands under the PPR umbrella.The Puma acquisition cost a cool $7B so they must have had some plan for how to leverage the Puma brand. There have been opportunities for Puma to collarborate with big time designers such as Alexander McQueen but I have never really liked any of it until now. More YSL for Puma Shoes

There are a 1000 reasons that most men wish they were James Bond, but now there is a new best reason. There are the amazing cars from Alfas to Astons, there are all the gadgets, the best of all the perennially charming fuck you super spy attitude that wins you the bed any women. The latest Bond installment Quantum of Solace should be called Quantum of Hotness in honor of this year’s new Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko .

Olga Kurylenko Was born in the Ukraine in 1979 to a Ukrainian father and a Russian mother. Olga got her break as a model when she discovered by a model scout in Moscow when she was only 13. By the time Olga was 17 she was modeling for Paris based Madison modeling agenc y and by the age of 18 she had already appeared on the covers of Vogue and Elle .

Olga has done since had a few small parts in mostly action movies, including the movie Hitman and recently in the Marky Mark flop called Max Paymne. Olga is an ethnic beauty with a sexual gravity that translates immediately to the silver screen. I just can’t wait to hear what kind of cheesy one liners our hero 007 will use to rid this cold war temptress of her soviet knickers. Looks like Bond Bond will be in his Martini’s for a White Russian, enjoy James , and we will all keep on wishing we were you.

Sept. 26 2008 may mark the death of the last real man. Paul Newman was more than a handsome and talented icon from the silver screen. While many of his roles defined what it was to be a man for an entire generation, it was his off screen life that tells the tale of a man we should all rise to emulate.

Paul Newman served his country as a tail gunner on a naval torpedo bomber in WWII returning from the war to complete his college degree in 1949. After college he headed to Broadway acting in a few major productions before moving to Los Angeles to expand his career as an actor.

As an actor Newman became a world wide icon, appearing in dozens of films and was nominated for 7 academy awards. Even as a prolific actor Paul Newman found the time to pursue his hobbies from car racing to political activism. Newman was known for supporting liberal candidates and causes including gay rights.

As a racer Paul Newman raced in famed races such as 24 hours of LeMans and Dayton, as well as several championships in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Newman went on to own several race teams from cars in the CanAM series to full Nascar cars.

As he retired from acting and racing Paul Newman began a new chapter in his life that is perhaps the most lasting part of his legacy. In 1982 he launched a line of consumer products called Newman’s Own. Starting with salad dressing and Pasta sauce the line grew to include nearly 50 products. The idea behind the Newman’s Own products was to deliver premium products and give all profits from the sale of the goods to charity. As of 2006 Newmans own had raised $250 million for charity.

Paul Newman brave, talented, handsome. He was a lover of life, he loved his work and it showed, he loved his family, he loved racing cars and most of all he was passionate for leaving this world a better place for his having lived in it.

Well done Paul Newman, may you rest in peace.

It is times like these with a fever pitch brewing over the up coming election that I thank EVOLUTION for the invention of the internet. The video below is completely hilarious and makes me want to make sweet, hot, patriotic love to Gina Gershon.

God Bless America

Fast forward to 2008 presto the future is now!
