Three Men Of The Year: Fashion and TV 2012

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

 

 

Three men to keep an eye on for the New Year…

Ashton Kutcher

Supposedly things have been heating up between Lea Michele, Kutcher’s co-star in the new movie “New Year’s Eve.” The two seemed ultra comfortable with each other and full of smiles when they dawned the red carpet together for their premiere. Check out their cheeky smiles. And we can’t help but give a thumbs up to Ashton’s new swaggerific look ever since he brought up with Demi Moore. If you don’t know who Lea Michele is, don’t worry, we didn’t either, but for the record she’s a star on the TV hit series “Glee.” We don’t think they’ll make a perfect match but it’s nice to see two co-workers love each other’s company.

But she’s not the only new leading lady in Ashton’s life. US Weekly Reports that “Ashton Kutcher is flaunting a new woman — and sources say he hooked up with her prior to splitting from wife Demi Moore last month. The actor, 33, spent Christmas in Italy with screenwriter Lorene Scafaria — who, until recently, was dating The OC actor Adam Brody.”

Us Weekly – Wed, Dec 28, 2011 9:00 AM

“In exclusive Us Weekly photos, the duo were snapped checking out the sights in Italy, including the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa over the Christmas holiday. Meanwhile Moore, 49, kept a low-profile, spending her holidays with family — including daughter Rumer Willis — in Parrot Cay. “She’s doing really well,” a source tells Us. “[She’s] waiting for all of her stuff to come out in the new year [including] her Lifetime show that she’s executive producing.” “Ashton started seeing her while each was in a relationship,” says a source. Reps for both Kutcher and Scafaria deny this and tell Us “They’re just friends.” And it wasn’t the first field trip for the duo — on Dec. 9 and 10, they cozied up at Yellowstone Club ski resort (snowboarding and playing shuffleboard) in Montana. Kutcher’s ex Moore, of course, announced their plans to divorce in late November following his revealed affair with a different woman, 22-year-old Sara Leal, in September.”–US Weekly

And of course, who can forget America’s favorite %&^*)&, Mr. Tosh.0. He only gets away with his controversial jokes because of his astute fashion and good looks, but we still think he’s pretty funny. There is no other strapping young man on television that can make us laugh so hard our cufflinks come undone. He’s truly Comedy Central’s go to man for put downs and below the belt comedy.

Police Raid Occupy Wall Street Protesters

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

 

 

Over 70 arrests were made in the wee morning hours today in an ambushed attack on the Wall Street Protesters. At approximately 1am, police in raid gear insisted the protesters evacuate Zuccotti Park, where they have been stationed for weeks. The Constitution of the United States dictates the public’s Right to Assemble. Yes, it’s a privately owned park but available for public use. This protest consists of the general public, for the public.

Ironically this comes during the week of the largest Student Week of Action scheduled for November 17th.

After passively “supporting ” the OWS movement, billionaire mayor Bloomberg seems to have recanted his position. To make matters worse, it seems there was a “media blackout,” according to the Huffington Post:

“Reporter after reporter — many using the hashtag “#mediablackout” — tweeted through the night, saying that police had either blocked them from seeing what was happening or had acted violently towards them. Some correspondents were also among the scores of people arrested by police.

At his press conference about the raid on Tuesday morning, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said journalists were barred from covering the raid “to protect members of the press,” and “to prevent a situation from getting worse.”

Why should democracy be covered up, in blackness, kept under guards from the general media? The protesters were given notice that occupation of the park “poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard to those camped in the park, the city’s first responders and the surrounding community.”

LA Times reports that over 5,000 books were thrown out in the raid. “More than 5,000 books in the Occupy Wall Street library were reportedly thrown away when police moved in to remove protesters from Zuccotti Park in New York early Tuesday.

During the police raid, Occupy Wall Street librarians tweeted, “NYPD destroying american cultural history, they’re destroying the documents, the books, the artwork of an event in our nation’s history,” Galleycat reports. “Right now, the NYPD are throwing over 5,000 books from our library into a dumpster. Will they burn them? … Call 311 or 212-639-9675 now and ask why Mayor Bloomberg is throwing the 5,554 books from our library into a dumpster.””

The Village Voice has asked city officials what happened to the library books, but has not yet received a response.

Currently a judge has signed an order allowing protesters to return to Zuccotti Park with their belongings; further court action is expected Tuesday.

 

College football is underway

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Back-to-school doesn’t mean much to the workingman. He’s already busy with his career and has been out of college for a while. But the start of the school year doesn’t always have to do with “school.” For a lot of guys, it has to do with college football. Even though you may have already graduated from college, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still cheer on your alma mater every Saturday afternoon during the college football season. Next to professional sports, college football is one of the most watched sports on television. Many men still attend college football games even long after they have walked across the stage and received their diploma.

Of all the gifts you received on graduation day, your alma mater cufflinks might be your most cherished item. Because that means you can wear them every time your college football team takes the field. If you weren’t lucky enough to receive a pair of cufflinks for a graduation gift, don’t worry. We have plenty of NCAA College University Cufflinks to choose from. Our college football cufflinks come in an elegant three-piece set, which is perfect for any cufflink collection. Take these Oregon Ducks 3-Piece Gift Set Cufflinks for example. The set includes a pair of Oregon Ducks officially licensed logo cufflinks, tie bar and money clip. You’ll have everything you need to root for your favorite college football team or alma mater during the entire college football season. What are you waiting for — get some now! College football is already underway!

Cufflinks for the college guy

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

The average college wardrobe usually consists of jeans, a t-shirt or sweatshirt and a worn baseball cap. Rarely does the college guy have to get dressed up for anything. (And the word “cufflinks” isn’t part of any college guy’s vocabulary.) But, on certain rare occasions (especially at some swanky Ivy League schools), even college guys have to get dressed up every once and a while. If you’re in college and you need to find a pair of cufflinks to go with your once-in-every-blue-moon formal ensemble, then you’ve come to the right place. We have a variety of Ivy League Striped Cufflinks to choose from.

Repp stripes are often used in private school uniforms, which makes Striped Cufflinks the perfect accessory for college guys. You can easily match Striped Cufflinks to your school’s colors and pull off a preppy formal look in no time at all. For example, if your school’s colors are black and red then you can’t go wrong with these Cufflinks. You can even continue to wear Striped Cufflinks even after you graduate from college and head out into the real world. They are just as stylish for polished college graduates as they are for unkempt college guys. You don’t have to bother with any research or homework when it comes to finding college-appropriate cufflinks. We have everything you are looking for. So the next time you have to get dressed up for school or a class presentation, make sure you are prepared!
