Haha now this is fashion on wheels! Some Saudi Arabian guy painted this beautiful Maserati Quattroporte Burberry - wise.

Thinking of buying a vintage car

I’m seriously thinking of buying a vintage car from some guy in Cuba even though I haven’t seen a photo yet. It’s supposed to be one like these in the pic below yet in better shape…

I’m trying to figure out how the import thing is going to work — but we’ll see whether or not it’s realistic… In the mean time I’m on the lookout for vintage car insurance - which is looking a lot cheaper than normal auto insurance; Good news! :D

Light Gray Gucci Suit

gucci grey plaid wool 3 button suit

If that’s not one amazingly classy suit I don’t know what is. This grey plaid wool 3-button suit with flat front trousers by Gucci has a three-button front with notched lapel and four decorative buttons at cuff, flap-besom convertible pockets with single chest pocket and three interior pockets and angled front pockets, slit waist pocket and rear button close besom pockets.

I just ordered one for under $2,000 at Bluefly.

LOVA Summer Shirts

LOVA is a great label for metrosexual men like you and me (if you’re looking for fashion online, and you’re a guy, and you’re not gay, just give up and stop being in denial)…

I picked some summer-style LOVA shirts, and they’re ACTUALLY ON SALE!! :D

First, this LOVA Short-Sleeve Checkered Woven Shirt. It’s gorgeous it’s tight and manly; and it’s on sale!

Second is a long-sleeved woven shirt. Another lovely slim fit shirt I’m sure would do great on jeans AND formal pants!

Pheromone Cologne - Does it Work?

Pheromones are the naturally releasing scents that all animals including humans emit. Scientifically, the scent is for mating purposes. Much research has been done with animals such as monkeys to determine exactly how important pheromones really are to the breeding cycle.

In humans, while pheromones are important, they are less subtle, as humans are not necessarily looking to populate the species. It is also true that many men and women are “turned off” by certain odors and “turned on” by other scents. Perfumes, colognes and after shave lotions are good examples of pleasing scents. But the question remains whether man-made pheromones in a bottle really excite, displease or do nothing.

Logically, if real pheromones can be duplicated, then it follows that pheromones in a bottle are effective. Studies show that the majority of people react in the same way to different odors so it can be assumed that some pheromones will produce a desired result. This is all scientific, however, based on the real scent emitted from a real person.

There are actually several reasons why bottled pheromones do not work:

  • The wearer has no guarantee that the substance is actually pheromones. Pheromone Cologne sometimes doesn’t even contain pheromones!
  • Different companies will produce different products. Some may be just water while others will be legitimate products.
  • Pheromones are normally marketed to men. The ads read about attracting women at the drop of the hat. It makes it seem like the women are somehow brainwashed. Much like an old science fiction movie where people were made to do illegal acts while hypnotized. This is not reality.
  • Women are not attracted to smell alone. They look at how the man is dressed, his facial features, his body shape and maybe even how he talks. All of these facets combined go into the decision to like a man.
  • Humans have evolved and lost much of their smelling instinct. It is true that certain smells evoke certain responses but because humans use other factors in decision making, such as the heart and the brain, and not just smell like animals, pheromones alone are not likely to get women to “jump up and down and bark like a dog”.
  • Colognes and perfumes can have the same effect as pheromones in the sense that women or men may be turned on by the scents.
  • Pheromones are male oriented products, engineered by males to males creating the ultimate illusion.

Balenciaga Leather trench coat

One word: GORGEOUS. I can’t believe I missed it in my trench coat roundup earlier this season.

Dark brown leather trench coat. The collar and lapels lead into a double breasted front. Storm flaps sit on either side beneath the collar as well as on the shoulders. Vertical pockets sit on either side of the hips. A tie front belt sits high on the waist. The hemline falls below the knee.

This Hans Ubbink catwalk for Spring/Summer 2008 mixed both the mens and the womens collection and especially the formal menswear looks absolutely great.

I’m not too sure about most of the makeup, though. :D
