(Fictional) Style Man of Our Time Perhaps
If there is one character on television at this very moment who I think is the Steve Mcqueen of our time it would certainly be Dr. Christian Troy from the FX network show Nip/Tuck.Perhaps the toughness is not there but the style certainly is. If there is a character that I would want to be like or come close to being like it would hands down be Christian. Not because he's a Doctor or because he gets to have sex w/ every female he meets but because of his style.
The fitted collard shirts, the suites, the sunglasses, all make the character that much more alluring I think. And I guess it doesn't hurt to be handsome as well.
The show itself is a great one. One of my favorite ones. It has become somewhat of a dark show lately but changing it up is a good thing especially when you've been running for 6 seasons.
An iconic fashion cha
racter that will go down as one of the greats I think. So, to the wardrobe team in the show. 2 thumps up for me.
Now, if I were to select a real man in real life who I think has impeccable style... An actor...hmmm...An artist perhaps...
I would say Designer Ford. His wardrobe shouts out cool, bold, cleat-cut, & handsome. Enough said. Tom Ford is an iconic fashion designer w/ flawless taste. I don't think he can ever go wrong w/ anything he chooses. He is the epitome of the modern man.

The Essential Item

D&G Lambskin Leather Motorcycle Jacket
It's so tough to find the right leather jacket. This one from D & G is a great looking motorcycle leather jacket. It's not over done w/ buttons, belts, or pockets. It's both stylish & cool. Can be worn w/ jeans & go w/ the night-out on the town look or w/ a collard shirt & a tie for the office. This is probably one of the best looking ones out there. Price is up there at $1,595 but I'm a big believer that you get what you pay. This is probably another item that will be followed w/ compliments by females. But don't buy this item for the compliments. Buy it for yourself & to feel good about yourself & your style. I think a good fitted leather jacket should be a big part of your wardrobe. Personally, I'm still looking for mine.
Here is a great example of a leather jacket worn w/ the business attire. Photo is from the set of the upcoming movie of Wall Street 2 starring Shia L. Classic, cool, & professional all-in-one. When you shop for the leather jacket you should really try it out. Walk around w/ & really get a feel for it because chances are it will be a pricey item & you should be sure about your purchase as you don't want to have any regrets. Especially now where every single dollar counts.

2010 Genesis Coupe
I test drove the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe today & if there is 1 word that will describe this automotive machine it will be the word impressive. I test drove this car at Dodger Stadium today at a setup track & it was incredibly fun. This is something I wish I could do on a daily basis. I test drove both the in line 4 turbo & the 306hp 6 cylinder.

Thoughts:
- Interior-well designed, comfortable, stylish, right there w/ Toyota quality, & the audio system has great sound.
- Exterior-sporty, fun, very aerodynamic & cool.
- Power-both the in line 4 turbo & 306hp 6 cylinder felt great but I will choose the 6 over the turbo any day. You can really feel the torque in the 6. You just want to go, go, & go. Exhaust note coming from it is sweeeeeettt.
- Stability, handling, & grip-Awesome! Car handles incredible.
Overall, it's a great automobile. A nice sporty coupe w/ terrific body lines. Hyundai has really impressed me w/ this car. Fantastic job from Hyundai. I would certainly recommend it to people in their early to mid 20's looking for a great car that will not leave their pockets empty.

One of my Favorite Clothing Lines
If you rarely receive compliments on the clothes you wear then you must buy a piece or 2 from Hickey. Whether it's a collard shirt or a jacket. This line of wear is both preppy but edgy which is the motto of the brand I believe. It's one of my favorite brands. These 2 sportscoats are sophistated & modern. Great colors. Price? Low to mid one hundreds. Up there in price but worth it if you ask me.

Fall/Winter is Coming

FairLady
There is a possibility that this might be the car I purchase in less than 1 year (or so I hope). It will be the first official automobile that I will own. I will spend a fair amount of time observing it, focusing in on it, & really imagining myself in it at the LA auto show come November. It's not a Mercedes or a BMW but it's a true sports car & that is something I will really be looking for once I have the financial feasibility to purchase a new or used car.

One Day...
I hope to own such a car. & there can't be no ifs or maybes. It has to happen. I have to make it happen. Somehow, someway, oneday. It has to happen.
Can't Wait For the Wild Things...

Awesome...Cool...Nice...The List Goes on & on...
If only I had enough money to purchase this amazing looking car. I would get this car in black w/ the nice options. I've built my car on mbusa.com and total comes to 65k. I've entered this number into my own excel automotive calculator & w/ a down payment of $10k after 6 years of paying such a car off @ $1069k a month I end up paying a total of $86500 after interest & taxes. OUCH... Worth every penny though if you ask me. I've never been a huge fan of MB but this car is just striking. I don't know if it's the front end, the interior, the l.e.d. lights or it might be a combination of all of that. I wish I met the designer of such a fantastic looking automobile.
I can probably afford a decent car right now even w/ my small salary that I currently earn but I would have to sacrifice everything else in my mellow life at the moment. But then I become one of those guys. One of those guys that just works for his beautiful car. & I really don't want to be one of those guys.
I'm 25 years old & it seems like everyone has had a chance to experience their purchase of their first car except for me. I guess I feel like that because I can't wait until that day comes. The day I wake up early, have a small breakfast, & head out to a dealership or two & test drive a car that I myself will proudly purchase. I feel like a kid who hasn't gone to Disneyland but know that one day it will happen. I will go to Disneyland. Its gotta happen. It just has to happen. God I can't wait. But I know I have to be patient. I wish I knew exactly what car I'm going to buy but there is a big difference between wanting a car & actually being able to afford that car. Again, God I can't wait...

Activate Your Life
I just discovered a good vitamin drink. It's made by Activate. Good stuff. I'd recommend it. the powdered vitamin's are stored in the cap to maintain it's freshness & potency. A little high in price but I think worthy enough to purchase.

I like it!
Thinking of making a purchase on a solid camara that will last me a good number of years & I am now considering the Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera. Not in a rush to get it as my ultimate & number 1 item on my list right now is an automobile.
It Has Been a While...
I will try to do a better job on my posting of posts. I am not someone who makes promises so all I can say/type is that I will to my best.
