2019 and The (same) New Dream

It's been nearly a decade of striving and allowing life to guide me towards this deep love of menswear. I would never have believed that the dreams started in this blog nearly 11 years ago would attract me to the offices of Vogue, GQ Style, Rolling Stone and working with men in like Ewan McGregor in Scotland, Morocco, and Cuba. This love of storytelling is both mesmerizing as much as it (still) provides a bit of torture. The desire to do more, see more, create more and contribute more to the world still remains the same. I am in awe of the process and cannot wait to continue to see more of the world and bring this dream to life.

MAN OF THE WEEK: DANIEL NESS

It isn't everyday that you can find someone with great style who can be pulled to be a face of a brand. Take a moment to view this menswear inspiration

MEN OF THE DAY, Damian Lewis: Jaguar F-TYPE presents Desire

If you weren't an addict of HOMELAND before, here are two other reasons to become on. One, Damian Lewis is in it. Secondly, did I mention Damian Lewis is in it? Here is DL in Ridley Scott's short film Desire for Jaguar F-Type.

I'm confident that I just died a little & went to heaven. You tell me why this Martone Cycling Co. bicycle is this badass. I recently passed the new Parsons School of Design building and much to my surprise, a suited guy just spun down the street with a similar bicycle and EVERYONE (who obviously understand great style) turned. All he needed was a rumble to make greater noise.

OBSESSED: SUNG JIN PARK

you are only as good as the person you are bringing home

I was raised with 4 brothers, as most people know. Nothing has prepared me to be the most easily aroused & non romantic person on earth. Yeah, I'm sure I'm not supposed to write this. It's not professional, especially if the MM diary is public. BUT, this is with great reason people. I promise. I'm the hardest person to convince on anything that isn't originally my idea. Go ahead and try to make me watch a rom com. It's just not going to happen. Recently I've grown to notice the power of partners. There is nothing more powerful than the leading role playing supportive. Same in reverse. Lead by supporting. A man is only as powerful as their partner. Homegirl can lead you to a drink as quickly as she can lead you to the highest office in your building. People tend to underestimate the power of the supporting role and their power in leading.

Find your confidant and only if they are worth it, see if they can play this role in making you the strongest " " you want to be. Just know that you are only as good as the person you are bringing home.

Homeland

 Listen people. If you aren't reading the Gospel According to Homeland than you are surely lost and in dire need of such Holiness. I say strongly, [ and I repeat on the internet] that Homeland by far, is the greatest show on television right now. period. Nothing on earth makes me live up to the stereotype of the brown female yelling at the screen. After nearly 45 minutes straight of sitting directly in front of my television with no allowed bathroom breaks and no conversations, there is nothing else for me to do  then jump about and give warm greetings to the credits with a very loud and abrasive, "What the Fuck!?" If you haven't watched it yet, call your girlfriend, wife, husband, kids (if you've got any) and tell them not to contact you and allow you about 10 minutes post Homeland to properly recuperate. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone yet so I'll start writing Monday nights my reactions on the MM Diary.

Lesson. It's okay to live up to stereotypes when watching the most epic show on television. it just is.
