December to Remember


For some reason, there has been so many holiday parties this year. This shot of Simon and I was taken at the Dior store event. You may recognize him from "The Real Housewives of New York City". His wife Alex commented, saying that "they always coordinate clothes and take hours choosing which clothes to wear", as we all sipped on champagne and shopping ensued. He agreed...


My friend Manny, on the left, mentioned what he finds most appealing style-wise and what he hopes to see in 2010. "Personally, my favorite Dior pieces for men are Dior jeans, which are the only jeans I wear because the cut works for me and I love that "Rock Star Grunge Glam" look because I'm lean and they allow me to be sexy with a hint of mystery. Dior makes great suits and accessories for men; I only wear Dior Homme sunglasses. Furthermore, I would like to see the current trend of "dress it up, dress it down"; casual elegance with contrasts of materials, i.e. a tuxedo shirt with a black tie blazer, denim, silk, jeans and boots- "Hobo/Chic, Armageddon meets Glamour". Personal creativity seems to have gotten lost this past decade, let's bring it back...



The guys and I joking around, trying on the ladies Dior shades...not bad to be honest. Went to the Groovaloo show after, check out the dancers styles below...


Not only can these dudes dance well, but they dress well. Appearing on NBC shows, they definitely have to keep up their appearances. The Groovaloo performance was out of this world, mixing styles such as B-boy, Hip-Hop, Tango, etc. with the ladies onstage. Had to catch these cats and take a pic.

Merry Men, Merry Christmas


See, men and women can wear the same stuff sometimes. Take for instance these Russian style hats I got for us from the American Eagle Opening in Times Square. My friend and journalist, Kjersti, brought me back raw vanilla from Madagascar. Guys, is it true that men find the scent of vanilla to be an aphrodisiac? Maybe there's some kind of attractive, mental connection between sex and the smell on a woman that makes it seem like something you want to eat? Don't want to go off subject, sure you get my point...


Don't forget to check out the Lakers today as they take on the Cavaliers. Kobe is by far my favorite player of all time. Watch as he goes up against LeBron on this Christmas Day. Who's star will shine brightest? Mr. Bryant I believe!

Figured you fellas would wanna see some female eye candy on the pink carpet at Victoria's Secret


See what the men wore while accompanying the women to the Victoria's Secret soiree. Well dressed gentlemen in attendance were Sir Richard Branson, Jay-Z, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Bruckheimer, Oliviér Martinez, my boys from The Black Eyed Peas, who took the stage with Fergie as the supermodels strutted their stuff. The holidays are already here, so guys, get your girls some pretty pieces from Victoria's Secret.

Hosted a STELLAR Event with my partners for the 45th Birthday of Celebrity Photographer Mike Ruiz

Special guests included stylish dudes like Mr. Ruiz himself, Kevin Christiana and Jack Mackenroth of Project Runway, Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl, singer Nick Scotti, celebrity stylists Nolé Marin and Phillip Bloch, all enjoying the open bar, photo booth, performance and atmosphere. Had a great time last Thursday guys...

Since I am new to the blogging world, thought I'd post this special event I coordinated last month with my buddy, who's a pro boxer. Yeah man...



11/11 PRESS PARTY, FOOD DRIVE & BIRTHDAY FOR PRO BOXER TONY GRANO @ D.E.T. Tony Grano, all the way on the right, is the new flashy Italian Stallion. You can see his matches on Showtime; his next fight is March 12, 2010 at Foxwoods Resort and Casino. Here we are with the owner of the restaurant and other friends; many more attended. We raised canned goods for a good cause, enjoyed drinks and some good ole fashioned grub.
