I was once an anti Leo Dicaprio kinda guy, but after watching a number of his recent films and seeing some of the ladies he's bedded I now believe he's a demigod. From now on he shall be known as Leotron the Destroyer!
Perhaps not known for his dress sense rather his acting, Leonardo Decaprio has a cool and unreactive persona which just oozes manly awesome. Personally I think he is one of the only men who can successfully sport the slicked back hair and not look like a douche bag.
Leo gets the D'Marge thumbs up.

Can arrogance ever be a good thing?
Dame Judy Dench summed it up perfectly with her line as the character, M in Casino Royale "Arrogance and self awareness seldom go hand in hand". A good observation if I ever heard one.
So how important is it to rate yourself highly and when does it become too much that you're just a pain in the ass who owns too many mirrors. I have a friend who happily admits he thinks he's top shit, which I completly respect. The fact he's tall and good looking probably has something to do with it, but are the 'good' women are likely to run a mile with this behavior? Possibly.
Someone once told me "there was nothing wrong with arrogance as long as you back it up with results". Unless you're directing motion pictures or playing before audiences of 100,000 then I suggest you don't take that advice.
If I could sum it up in a few words I would say, always be sure that you're top shit, but never better than anyone else. If you get out of shape at this years Xmas party know that your lack of self-control defines you. Trust me, you can't please everyone all the time so you might as well have some fun whilst you're doing what you do.

White is the new black
In the market for a new set of skids? Well I'm here to give you the 411 on what colours you should be looking at.
Like it or hate it, white is the new black, black is the old silver and silver is the what white used to be, tres uncool.
Generally white is a dope colour car to drive unless of course you're buying an 78 Lada. In which case I recommend you buy a push bike and tuck your socks into your pants. You'll look cooler and go faster.

Men's Cologne... Not too much.
There's something awesome about walking past a girl in the street who you can smell from a few feet away, it sets off all those chemicals in our brain that make us men stop a complete stranger and strike up a conversation.
But when it comes to us guys. There is rule we should all live by. Less is more. One spray, is enough, sometimes 2 but always below the neck.
Mens aftershave can be overpowering at the best of times, so the idea is to make someone have to get close to you in order to smell it.
Male pheromones + GOOD aftershave = Me love you long time.
Here are my top 5 fragrances which I currently own.
- Dior Homme
- Comme Des Garcons 2
- Terry D'Hermes
- Polo Black
- Jil Sander
If you have any ones which you think are great please post them here.
That looks great on you...
Don't be fooled it probably looks like a heshen sack on a midget. So why do we get fooled when shopping? Are we so in need of validation that we take advice from saucy shop assistants as gospel?
Case in example: Cute (girl) shop assistant tells me that a shirt looks great on me. What I really see is: Me in a shirt which could be good if it was a little more fitted and those pesky pockets didn't attract so much attention.
So the moral to this otherwise pointless blog post is to always trust your instincts, if you don't love something then don't buy it.

James Bond, Tom Ford, James Bond, Tom... Ford?
I just read a great little snippet of news about the upcoming (November 19th) James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
Tom Ford worked with their costume designer (can't remember her name) to supply Daniel Craig's character with bespoke suits.
So if you're wondering who made his killer fitted suits, you now know. If you also have a cool $5k to part with, Tom will make you one just like Jimmy B.

The perils of white shoes and suits.
I spent this weekend at the horseraces and have to admit there seems to be a polar opposite between people that can dress and people that clearly are taking tips from Liberace.
Whilst I do find myself giving points for putting on a suit in the first place, I have to deduct thousands of points for the woeful shoes, shirts and ties which guys in Melbourne seem to think look great. For these guys it's not about looking like someone has a sense of style, rather looking like a pimp selling his 2 dollar slappers down on skid-row.
The main offender seemed to be guys with a love affair for white leather shoes. Now I'm the first to admit white shoes can be cool on Storm Troopers and motocross racers, but with a suit... brother, pull up.
So if you ever think of donning a pair of white shoes with your suit, please stop and have a think about what you're telling the world about your ability to dress yourself.
Draw attention to your winning personality, your philandering ways or that gap in your teeth, but leave the white shoes alone (unless you can dress them up like the guy above).
