War of the Mannies'

So I am trying to figure this out here. This thing called life and these thoughts, emotions, and feelings we have. Real talk sometimes the reality of what I am faced with when it coems to women and what I hope for are so different and so blurred I just want to shut down and not think. Be the international playboy or be the everlasting romantic that I try to surpress. On the day to day I have a fight with myself and at the end of the fight with both me's lying on the ground I only have one resolve. As my both John Mayer says, "This heart didn't come with instructions". Does this shit even make sense?

The way it is done




The art of the one night stand is a fading one. It used to be a swave, romantic, and psuedo-ginuwine art. I mean lets no forget that it is a one night stand, but it used to be a moment of love disguised as lust, not a moment of lust disuised as love (as it is today).

Luther Vandross had it right he created a song that many can't seem to duplicate. In the said song LV managed to take the ideas and events of a single night and turn it from a sleezy bootycall into a romantic encounter that would seem to last forever (well until he kicked her out at dawn). This gives you a play by play of how it should be done. As LV tends to do he turns feelings into music. Enjoy....

This is why you read Vanity Fair

So I caught this a week ago and today I ran across the actual cover shot that this is a parody from. In a recent Vanity Fair print there is a photo of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Segal poking a little fun of a 2006 cover of Vanity Fair featuring Tom Ford, Scarlett Johansson, and Keira Knightley.

Chanel reinventing a classic look.

Lupe Fiasco started this nice little trend of defining what "cool" is. By labeling a part of his personality as "The Cool" he put the notion in my head that defining what is cool is a matter of self searching and defining.

Okay that is far from what this post is about but it is a great way to tie what I am thinking into the following.... Last week Karl Lagerfeld in Paris, presented a new look and take on a woman’s briefcase. The Chanel designer brought out a clearly (and I mean CLEARLY) innovative idea and it wouldn't surprise me to see the likes of Kanye West or Pharrell with this accessory in hand.

There is just something about the style.

I am a adoring reader of various magazines. GQ, Esquire, Details, Men's Vogue (before it was cancelled), and Vanity Fair, are just a few of the ones that come to mind when I think of keywords such as style & fashion. These magazines are constant inspiration to hold myself and carry myself at the level of a gentleman. Not only to I have to learn to play the part but I have to be the part, dress the part, and live the part. . It is in all walks of life (style) as a child my father always taught me when you look good, you play good; church was a huge fashion show filled with big mamas with flower hats, brothers wearing suits, and pastors in gold, lol I grew up around people trying to define their own style. It really wasn't until I saw Sean Connery play the role of James Bond in "Goldfinger" that I found my idol that I wanted my style to emulate. So needless to say I am a "wear a suit just because" type of guy, lol.

A woman with style is an absolute turn on in my eyes as well. A lot of times we enjoy saying, "she looks good in that dress", but I love saying "that dress looks good on her", now that is when a woman has style.
