The Tiny Car that Thinks It’s a Ferrari

James — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:04:50 +0000

In Europe, Fiat is synonymous with cute small cars. And we mean very small. But Fiat’s new Abarth 695 Tribute Ferrari is a tiny car with an identity crisis.

As you can see, the Abarth 695 is indeed small, but under the hood it packs 180 horsepower. While that might not sound like a lot, consider how tiny this car is. The car also comes with the latest racing technology and, of course, the requisite racing stripes.

No word yet on when the Ferrari Tribute car will be available. Don’t hold your breath for it to come to the U.S.

Kiwi Shoe Polish Sponge: The Biggest Bargain in Men’s Grooming

James — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:30:10 +0000

A friend pointed out the other day how great the Kiwi shoe polish sponge applicator is. Unlike regular shoe polish which is messy and takes forever to apply, the Kiwi sponge is no-fuss, no-muss.

In case you haven’t used this, you just squeeze the bottle a little bit to get the shoe polish liquid onto the sponge and then spread it over your shoes. That’s it. No buffing needed and no messes to clean up. You’re done in under 5 minutes.

Honestly, I can’t tell the difference between shoes that have been shined with traditional polish and those that have been shined using the sponge. Best of all the Kiwi bottle lasts years and is less than $5 (you can get it at Amazonfor a whopping $2.83).

Sometimes it’s the little things in life that we take for granted that turn out to be the biggest bargains.

James — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:00:04 +0000

If own an iPhone you know how annoying it can be to lug your phone and your wallet around when you’ve got a night out on the town. The folks from Case-Mate have come up with a really elegant solution called the I.D. case.

The I.D. case is an impact-resistant, protective case for your iPhone with card-carrying functionality.

For security, cards are kept in place with ez-slide protective film. Slightly nudge at the top and bottom of the slot for instant access to your cards. Neat, huh?

The case itself is sturdy, protecting your phone’s screen from shocks and scratches while providing access to all the iPhone’s ports and controls. The I.D. case comes in a variety of eye-catching colors like Silver – Metallic, Royal Red, and Royal Blue.

You can buy the I.D. case at Case-Mate for $29.99.

Organize Your Bedroom and Feel Better

James — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:30:19 +0000

A cluttered home adds to the stress of daily life, and most often when we tackle organizing our home, we focus on the public rooms, such as the kitchen and family room, because we fear the dreaded unannounced guest. We often neglect the bedrooms. It?s easy to close the bedroom door, but at the end of the day, we are restless in our cluttered bedrooms.

Do you find that when you enter the bedroom you are faced with a mound of clothes, a mess on the nightstand, and a pile of shoes on the floor? And once you finally force yourself out of bed, are you rushed in the mornings searching through piles for something clean and wrinkle-free to wear?

Scott Roewer, president of Solutions by Scott in Washington, DC, provides three easy, cost-effective tips to help get the bedroom organized:

Get clothes off the floor. If you find yourself throwing clothes on the floor or using the treadmill as your closet, then add a bedroom valet or garment holder to your room. The accessories provide an easy way to preserve and organize your clothes until you are ready to put them away. The racks in The Art of Storage collection are affordable and stylish. These storage pieces features six loops at varying heights to allow for versatile garment draping options and the valet also includes a non-slip pants holder and coin tray.

De-clutter every surface. Overcrowding the surfaces of your dressers and nightstands with knick-knacks presents a cluttered look and makes it more difficult to dust. Select the top two or three non-essential items that are special to you. The others can go into storage, be displayed in another room or maybe be rotated every few months. Remember that less is more.

Use under-the-bed space. Store out-of-season clothes and other items in containers made of plastic, canvas, or wood. Plastic containers are ideal if you have the ability to stack them. If you store linens in wood boxes, opt for cedar, which helps deter moths. Line the containers with plain unbleached muslin to counter the wood?s acidity and protect your linens. Use canvas bags that zip shut for delicate items such as cashmere sweaters, which need circulating air. Make sure all clothing and blankets are cleaned before storing.

?A peaceful, clutter-free bedroom is ideal for a restful night?s sleep and piles of clothes don?t create the relaxing oasis you desire,? Roewer said. ?My basic rule of thumb for clothing is if it is clean enough to wear again, it?s clean enough to hang up.

Beating the bedroom blues is possible ? and once you tackle this task, you?ll feel the results immediately. Everyone deserves a calm and peaceful place to relax and re-energize. And if you don’t clean-up your bedroom for yourself, then do it for your lady friend. She might just find creative ways to show her appreciation.

Gang Member Extreme Makeover

James — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:00:04 +0000

Let’s say you’re a member of a vicious Los Angeles street gang who just happens to have the gang’s name tattooed all over your body. Let’s also say you’re about to go to trial – what to do? Time for a makeover!

The attorney for Richard Rodriguez, who has filed a $5 million claim against the city of El Monte, California, wants his client to grow hair and wear a suit to cover up all those pesky gang symbols. Rodriguez will be getting an extreme makeover before the trial including a Magnum P.I.-style mustache to hide the gang’s name which is inconveniently tattooed to his upper lip (I hate when that happens).

In Rodriguez’s booking photo, his head is shaved, tattoos climb his neck, and he generally looks like a scary dude. But with a full head of hair, a ’stache, and a black suit – viola! – violent gang member is transformed into mild-mannered insurance salesman.

Rodriguez is suing El Monte because he was kicked in the head by a police officer after a televised car chase. Hmm, maybe try not running from the cops in a high speed chase next time. That seems to significantly reduce the number of head kicks you’ll receive. Just a friendly tip.

Keep Your Oily Face Under Control Through the Day

James — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:00:07 +0000

Let?s face it, a shiny face isn?t a good look on anyone?including the President of the United States. Asked in an interview with the Associated Press about his pet peeve in the White House, President Obama targeted his makeup team ? whom he called “the shine police.” “They constantly want to powder my nose and forehead and it’s never enough,” he said. “That I find quite irritating.”

Heat and humidity tend to go hand-in-hand with summer and along with that comes an unwelcomed shine. Here are a couple of suggestions to help Obama (and the rest of us for that matter) beat the elements, whether on the international stage or at a state dinner.

Are you feeling manly enough to powder your face? If so, you might want to check out Boscia Blotting Linens. These 100% natural linen, preservative-free facial blotting papers will keep Obama and the rest of us looking matte and shine-free. They absorb excess oil and banish shine and their sleek compact holder slips easily into a back pocket?or the Oval Office desk drawer for when the ?Shine Police? are off duty. A box will set you back $10.

There’s also the All Day Oil-Control Lotion created by Jack Black, one of my favorite men’s skin care lines. Natural oil absorbing ingredients work along with botanical extracts and antioxidants to provide shine control without over-drying the skin. The result? Smooth, soft, shine-free skin that lasts throughout the day ? what more could Obama ask for? A bottle costs $26, but should last a fairly long time.

Keeping your face dry and free from excess oil can be a battle, no matter what the season. But now there’s some manly products available to help.

Man Myths Exposed!

James — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:00:26 +0000

We have all grown up with bits of accepted wisdom about manhood, but are they accurate or just an old wives tale? Finally the folks at Manolith have taken the time to look into 16 famous manly myths and debunk them.

Do you think the more you shave, the thicker your beard will grow? Not so – shaving your beard cannot change the way it grows. A beard may feel more coarse after shaving, but that’s only because you have cut the tapered ends of your hairs, leaving the thicker shafts.

Does drinking beer cause a beer belly? Nope. While beer is high in calories, there’s no special ingredient that causes you to grow a rotund midsection. It’s just that if you drink lots of beer, you’re also consuming lots of calories and that packs on the weight.

Heard the one about the size of your shoe or hand revealing the length of your penis? Wrong again. Penis length has nothing to do with either factor (sorry to give you the bad news).

For more manly myths debunked, check out the entire list at Manolith.

Get Fit in Just Six Minutes a Week

James — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:30:53 +0000

Tired of spending endless hours at the gym? What if you could get fit working out just minutes a week? That’s the surprising conclusion by a growing number of sports scientists. New research suggests much shorter, more intense exercise could provide the same benefit as longer, less strenuous workouts.

The effectiveness of interval training has been known for years. Athletes have been incorporating one or two interval sessions a week into their regular exercise routine. What’s new is that many researchers now believe you only need a few minutes of strenuous exercise per week to do the job.

One of the leading proponents of shorter, more intense workouts is Dr. Martin Gibala at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. In one recent study, Gibala had one group of healthy but not athletic college students ride a stationary bike at a moderate level for between 90 and 120 minutes. A second group of students completed a series of short, very intense intervals by cycling for 20 to 30 seconds for as hard as they could. These students would then rest for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat the cycle four to six times.

Each group exercised three times a week, but while the first group spent up to two hours on the bike, the second group only spent 2 to 3 minutes pedaling. After two weeks, researchers found that both groups had achieved nearly identical increases in their endurance. Researchers also found both groups exhibited molecular changes in mitochondria that signal increased fitness.

Another benefit of the intense interval sessions studied by Gibala was weight loss. High-intensity exercise increases energy expenditure well into the recovery phase. Other scientists have found interval training also improves cardiac health, even for those with heart disease.

To get these results, however, researchers say you have to go all out during training. It’s going to hurt and you’ll be out of your comfort zone. You also need to be in relatively good shape before starting a program like this as it can take a toll on your body.

One established interval method to try is called Tabata, developed by a Japanese scientist who did research in the field. Just A Guy Thing has a comprehensive Tabata exercise guide that you should to check out. Crossfit.com also has information on intense interval training. You can also check out this New York Times article on intensity training.

Zac Efron is the New Ideal of Male Beauty

James — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:00:14 +0000

All of our leading young men appear to have a new face – and according to experts, it?s getting feminized. Gone are the days of young actors worshiped for their unique sex appeal and masculine charm. Instead, a new trend is emerging and all our celebrity crushes are losing their edge.

So what?s the formula? Add a sweep of messy hair with a doe-eyed look and place it on a baby face, and there you have it: Zac Efron, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Robert Buckly, and Jason Segeland, just to name a few.

In fact, the New York Observer recently christened the phenomenon as the ?New Male Beauty? with NYC facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Pearlman addressing the new facial structure, ?These young men all have the same look; a narrow nose trending upwards, wide-set eyes and softer features including the cheekbones and chin area.?

According to Dr. Pearlman, former president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), his patients have started citing Efron’s features as their ideal, instead of the more manly look they have asked for in the past. Individuality, he said, has been overrun by the quest for perfect proportion.

According to the recent AAFPRS Annual Survey, Among male patients, the most common procedures were: Botox, dermal fillers and injections, rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

Ready for a Little ‘Manscaping’?

James — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:00:59 +0000

There are few subjects men want to talk less about than “manscaping” – trimming the short hairs, and we don’t mean the ones on your face. But thanks in part to the proliferation of shaved porn actors and more recently a helpful video from Gillette coupled with new devices like the Braun “bodyCruzer”, more men are considering trimming the hedges.

We conducted a highly unscientific poll of several women we know to get the opposite sex’s take on the manscaping trend. The consensus is this: unless you’re an actual porn star, going bald down below is just plain weird. But thinning out the thicket is appreciated, especially if you expect her to get up close and personal with your beanpole.

There’s another benefit to trimming down under: greater sensitivity. For a lot of guys, thinning out the hair on their undercarriage heightens the pleasure when a lady friend gives the boys some attention.

Manscaping is not just about shaving below the belt. The new Braun bodyCruzer makes it easy to remove body hair from your chest, shoulders, stomach and other spots you might want to target. According to Braun, one-third of guys 24-34 in the U.S. already shave or trim hair below the neck, so rest assured you won’t be the first man to try it.

Gillette is getting into the act with a viral video that has now been viewed nearly 750,000 times on YouTube. As Gillette cheekily puts it: “when there’s no underbrush, the tree looks taller.”

Men have been expecting women to trim the hedges for some time now. Guys – are you ready to do the same and start manscaping?

It’s Time for Beer Shampoo!

James — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:38:08 +0000

Do you enjoy watching ballplayers spray each other with beer when they win a championship? Ever wanted to try it? Now you can live that experience every morning in the shower with the new Bandai Beer Shampoo.

The bottle is designed so the soap inside sprays out as foam so you an party like a rock star (or athlete) every morning. Just plug the tip with your finger, shake the bottle and release for a celebratory beer bath.

And no, it doesn’t smell like beer. Thankfully, the shampoo has a citrus scent.

The only downside? You have to go to Japan to get it, at least for now.

10 Style Tips Every Man Should Know

James — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:00:40 +0000

Spring is upon us and that means it’s time to brush up on your fashion sense. Being stylish isn’t about following a bunch of rules, but it does require a bit of knowledge. Now that you’re a grown-up, here are 10 things you should know to dress better:

1. Know your neck size. You should be able to fit one finger between your collar and your neck when your shirt is fully buttoned.

2. A tie?s stripes should always be bolder than a shirt?s.

3. It?s ok to not wear socks in summer, but only if you give your sweaty shoes a break every other day.

4. An invitation saying ?black-tie optional? implies you can choose between black tie and a suit, but it really means black tie.

5. Know the nuances of khaki pants ? don?t roll up the cuffs to your calves like clamdiggers unless you are actually digging for clams.

6. Never put eyewear, your cell phone, an ink pen, or a bulging key chain in your pants pockets.

7. A wallet is for credit cards only ? cash goes in a money clip in your front pocket.

8. Your eyeglasses should contrast, not mimic, the shape of your face.

9. The five terms your barber will understand are thinned out, layered, choppy, razored, and texturized.

10. It is acceptable to wear your jeans five to ten times between washings but fewer if they get visibly dirty or baggy at the knee.

Follow these simple tips and you’ll be looking better in no time.

Men: Get Ready for the Male Girdle

James — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:14:48 +0000

Is going to the gym to stay fit just too much work? Want to lose that gut without the aid of liposuction? Then get ready the male girdle.

Australian manufacturer Equmen recently started selling its ‘core precision undershirt’ in the U.S. and will soon be introducing it to Britain. Like ‘control pants’ that millions of women secretly wear to keep their backsides looking good, the Equmen t-shirt squeezes mens bodies into a leaner silhouette.

Made of polyester, spandex and nylon, the Equmen undershirt can be worn under slim-fitting suits, t-shirts, polo shirts, or alone as a form-fitting top. Equmen claims their garments improve the fit of your clothes, improve your posture and muscle alignment, keep your core muscles stabilized, and may even help reduce back pain. All for just $89 a shirt.

To make sure their shirts squeeze guys in just the right places, Equmen uses a process they call “helix mapping.” Developed in conjunction with physiotherapists, ergonomic consultants and athletic garment engineers, helix mapping is a body-mapping system that builds physio taping techniques into every garment to reinforce and support the body’s natural structure from the core.

So what do you think? Are you ready to take the plunge into control tops for men?

How to Look Good in Photographs

James — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:00:53 +0000

Whether it’s a corporate portrait or a casual snapshot for online dating, how we look in photographs has never been more important. Regardless of if it’s a potential client looking you up on Facebook or LinkedIn, or a potential mate checking you out on Match.com, people make snap judgments about how you appear in photographs.

It’s time for guys to take their online appearance seriously. Here are 7 tips on how to look your best in photos:

1. For corporate headshots, look authoritative. Ask the photographer to shoot slightly below the eye level for a commanding look.

2. Pay attention to the background – a busy background is distracting, but a plain white wall is boring and sterile. Consider a corner of a room or near a window for natural light.

3. If you are concerned with a double chin, ask the snapshooter to take your pictures above eye level which will force you angle your head upward, alleviating a double chin.

4. Use your pictures! The only way to discover your best side is to look at pictures where you’re channeling Ryan Reynolds and determine your favorite pose and position. Once you find your ?best side? do not be afraid to use it. There is no shame in arranging yourself so your best face is forward, but we suggest that you do it subtly to avoid ridicule.

5. For online dating, unless you look want to like you LOVE yourself, avoid the self-portrait in the mirror. Mom, intern, roommate, whatever–find somebody to take your picture. And please put on a shirt, it will leave a little to the imagination

6. To elongate your neck, avoid scarves or big collars that create bulk around the neckline (That means no popped collars!). Try a v-neck to create shape and open up the chest and neck area.

7. You are who you pose with. While you might think it?s really cool that you met Miss October/Hulk Hogan/Captain Morgan, this type of company might not reflect who you really are. Try puppies, babies or less attractive friends. Seriously.

For more fashion and photography tips for guys, check out Carson Kressley’s online how-to series called Look Good in Pictures. The episode Man?s Best Friend: The Digital Camera is particularly helpful.

Training Tips For Improving Your Biceps

James — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:30:06 +0000

This is a guest post from Ken Hunt, Owner of Steel Gym and AFI-certified Fitness Expert. Steel Gym has been named “#1 Gym in New York” two years in a row by the American Fitness Institute

It?s a call to arms?sorry I couldn?t resist the pun. Well, aside from looking great in a muscle t-shirt, your biceps are involved in many upper body activities that you do everyday. Although the bicep muscles are small, in comparison to other muscles in your body, when they are pumped, hard and solid, they look terrific.

I recently asked Steel Gym independent trainer (and expert chef, by the way) Alejandro Quirogo, for his suggestions on a how to build big beautiful biceps. Here?s what he had to say.

You should only work your biceps once or twice a week depending on your goals. The good news is that there are varieties of exercises that you can choose to grow those arms. Most bicep movements incorporate pulling and generally involve curling your hands towards your shoulders. You can also include wrist curls to work your forearms. You can choose any type of resistance?dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, cables or machines.

For high peaking biceps — Dumbbell Preacher Curls- 3 sets 8-10 reps per set and superset them with High Cable Curls 3 sets 10 ? 12 reps.

For strength and size – Barbell Curls?Warm up then 4 sets 6-10 reps; Dumbbell Curls 5 sets 6-10 reps (do not alternate reps); Machine Preacher curls 5 sets 6-10 reps.

Targeting the head/front of the biceps — EZ Bar Curls ?warm up with 1 set of 15 (light weight). Then do 4 sets of 6-10 reps . Hammer Curls – 5 sets 6-10 reps.

And some general tips: use a straight bar for building strength and bicep growth. Do them second in your routine to make sure they have warmed up. And try reverse Straight Bar Curls at the end of your routine to build the top of your forearms.

How to Cure the Skin Hangover

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:00:08 +0000

This is a guest post by Enrique Ramirez, one of the world?s foremost skincare experts and founder of New York’s popular male celebrity hangout, face to face nyc.

After you wake up sometime in the afternoon after a long night out of partying and drinking, and following your first cup of coffee, restore your manly confidence by washing your skin with a milky cleanser (this type of cleanser doesn?t strip any moisture from the skin) and warm water.

Get in a warm bath mixed with oils, preferably Eucalyptus or Rosemary, which are excellent to stimulate your sinuses and your senses. The oils in the water restore the moisture level of your skin and also address achy muscles from dancing in your spiffy, leather Prada loafers. Just don?t get into the bath with those loafers or you might have another hangover you don?t need.

During the bath, use a hydrating mask. I recommend the Hydra Floral by Decleor Paris. If you don?t have this available in your cabinet, mix honey and sour cream together, and spread onto your dry face. Leave on for about 15 minutes.

Use the oldest trick in the book. Mix cold water with a cold cucumber in the blender to create a cucumber eye mask. In a paper towel, apply about a spoonful worth of the mixed cucumber and fold the paper towel to create an eye mask. Don?t worry?you?re safe. No one will see you, dude. It?s an excellent way to target puffiness and dark circles caused from waking up late with a pounding headache.

When you get out of the bathtub, pat your face and body dry. Massage onto your body an oil-based lotion such as Neutrogena Body Oil which seals moisture and the massage motion stimulates circulation to deliver fresh blood to your skin.

Spritz a hydrating toner on your face, followed by a heavy-weight moisturizing cream.

Let?s not leave behind the electrolytes to balance your inner levels of moisture. Drink a few bottles of Gatorade or Vitamin Water that you have from your recent soccer tournament. Both offer a good source of magnesium, potassium and sodium to put you back on track.

Your body will feel fresh and revived after these steps leaving you ready for the next round of hitting the bar scene.

Looking Good: How to Buy for Your Body Type

James — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:26:02 +0000

Some guys are just born with the perfect body for clothes. Tailors call these guys a “drop-six”: your chest is six inches larger than your waist. If you’re that guy, congratulations – you can skip this article because pretty much everything looks good on you.

For everyone else, knowing your body type and buying the right clothes for it are crucial to looking your best. You can drape yourself in the finest Armani suit, but if it’s not appropriate for your body it’ll never look good.

Here’s a cheat sheet to the four basic men’s body types and what looks good and not-so-good for each guy:

Short and lean. Guys like Tom Cruise know they look best when wearing clothes that fit their body correctly. Short and lean men should go for two-button or double-breasted suit jackets that work in proportion to their torso. Opt for thicker fabrics like corduroy that offer the illusion of heft. These guys should avoid loose fitting, baggy clothes that draw the eye to their smaller frame. When was the last time you saw Tom Cruise wearing baggy clothes? Never – he wears form fitting suits that emphasize his lean body, not his short size.

Short and stocky. Guys who are both short and stocky definitely have their work cut out for them, but all hope is not lost. Choose clothes that have a deep V at the chest to elongate your torso. V neck sweaters will do the trick, as will some single-button suits. You know the rule about horizontal stripes making you look fatter? It’s true and if you’re on the stocky side, avoid them. Same goes for busy plaid patterns which get in the way of your body’s vertical lines. Also avoid wide pants and cuffs – both emphasize your width rather than accentuating your height.

Tall and lean. Long, lean guys should use the horizontal stripe rule in their favor. Horizontal lines will help you look broader while vertical lines will emphasize your height too much. Also, avoid tight jackets and other clothing that brings attention to your thin torso.

Big and tall. You husky guys out there sometimes have as many clothing challenges as short, stocky men. Go for cuffs on your pants – these help break up your extra long inseam. Trousers with shallow pleats – emphasis on shallow – can help slim you down. Avoid either horizontal or vertical stripes since you don’t want to over-emphasize either your girth or your height. Stick with solid, darker colors like a navy suit.

No matter what your body shape, there are ways to augment your strengths and de-emphasize the parts you’d rather forget about. Try it out – it really does work.
