My New Favorite Magazine - Self Service

Self Service is a Paris based fashion and culture magazine that is the best thing to happen to magazine's in a very long time...

As you can see, it's a hard back magazine (only one of it's many novel features). In addition to having an actual "spine", Self Service is a bi-annual platform for experimenting with photography, styling, writing, graphics, typography and layout in order to present an adventurous and unusual publication.

Normally I wouldn't think to use the word "sexy" to describe a magazine but then again there's nothing normal about a publication from the city of love named self service (I'll let you take that where ever you wanna take it..)

Issue 32 (Spring/Summer 2010) is on shelf now and you can check out the blog for daily posts.

Where the hell you been?!?

Okay, so I took a bit of a break from blogging.

It's been a month and a half (which in blogging terms is the equivalent of about a year).

That said, most of my fans have stayed with me.

Yes, I've gotten a few hate messages but hey...I guess I deserved that.

So, in short order, here is what I've been up to during the last 6 weeks

1. I got a new job (that is an understatement...I'm actually moving out of the country)

2. I've been to Geneva Switzerland, Rome and Milan Italy (photo's of the fashion are coming...don't worry)

3. I've put my house on the market (...bittersweet)

4. I've ended a relationship (...just bitter)

5. I met Matthew Mcconaughey and confirmed that he is as "smart" as I thought he was

All in all. It was a busy couple of weeks.

I'm back Bitches!!!!

Dunhill Done It

These aluminium suitcases from Dunhill are as beautiful as they are interesting. Sheet aluminium is hand-riveted and polished to a mirror finish for a look that is sure to turn a few heads.

Is aluminium luggage practical?...NO

Is it desirable?...HELL YES!

Gucci for Sport

This spring marked the launch of Gucci's newest fragrance for men. Gucci by Gucci Sport pour Homme comes on the heels of the successful launch of the Gucci by Gucci pour Homme fragrance, launch last year.

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini describes the fragrance, fronted by actor James Franco, as "a light body with a lot of citrus notes -- capturing the healthy, active aspects of the Gucci man's lifestyle."

The scent includes notes of grapefruit, madarin, cypress, aromatic cardamom, the fruity nectar of Corsican figs, juniper berries, vetiver, patchouli and ambrette seed. The result is a lighter, more casual scent vs. the original Gucci by Gucci.

In most cases, the sequel is never as good as the original...THIS is not one of those cases.

A Movie, A Game & A Girl

The Disney film "Prince of Persia" will be released Friday May 28th and I fully expect this Jerry Bruckheimer film to be another summer blockbuster.

Fans of this franchise will know it best from the Ubi Soft video game trilogy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The video game developers have used the release of the film as an opportunity to rehash the video game and the clip below is proof positive that those guys have been hard at work.

Both the film and the game play are visually stunning but both pale in comparison to the Details magazine photo shoot for the actress that plays Princess Tamina - Gemma Arterton

The Kent (Southeast England) born actress is fresh from her turn as the Greek demigoddess Io in the film Clash of the Titans and is quickly cementing herself as the new queen of the action epic adventure.

Although fans of Gemma might appreciate that her next film, The Disappearance of Alice Creed, will require a bit of nudity, they will likely appreciate her approach to those scenes even more..."On camera, I really don't give a shit...."

Well said...
