Real men ride motorcycles, eat steak, get girls and start fights.
One of my colleagues rolled up on a motorbike the other day and I have to admit, I lost my shit momentarily. Based in Sydney, Deus Ex Machina are a team of guys who are refurbishing old Japanese bikes for the modern classic gentleman. The 1950's bobbers are back in vogue and these guys are making a name for themselves.
Deus Ex Machina custom motorcycles have IMHO more class and personailty than your chopper or Harley D. They might be a passing fad, but for what it's worth I'll be buying one and hanging onto it.
Check out the Deus Ex Machina website.

Swedish Shopping in Melbourne
I'm a massive fan of the Swedish labels kicking around these days. Apart from being simple and well made, Swedish designers seem to have this flair for making clothes that fit unbelievably well.
A new store by the name of Swensk has opened up in my hometown of Melbourne and it's the shizzle. Stocking the likes of Filippa K, Whyred, 5th avenue shoe repair, Swensk is a breath of fresh air in Melbourne sea of skinny jeans and fluro tshirts.
Also, they're really helpful and friendly. Bless them Swede's.

5 things you should waste your money on this weekend
Apart from the usual items of sex, drugs and dance music which seem to be the flavour de jour for me lately. I've decided that this weekend would be better spent saving brain cells and cash in aid of spending it on other items I really don't need.
- New Jeans - Perhaps Nudie?
- Some American Apparel Tshirts - Plain T's are the new black.
- New Havianas for Summer (or Winter)
- A gym membership. Nobody like a girly-boy arms.
- A surprise dinner at a über cool restaurant with your mistress. She'll love it.

Living Vicariously Through Your Children
Got kids? I don't. I have a motorbike, a music career, an advertising career and a selfish tenancy to want to wake up by myself on weekends (after the evenings activities).
But I was thinking the other day, if I do ever have kids what would I encourage them to do? Cocktail waitress? Oil rig worker? Both admirable professions but lack a certain amount of glory and fall-out benefits for yours truly.
And if you haven't figured it out yet, it's all about your truly. So here are some professions for anyone thinking of being a pushy parent.
Tennis Champion - Whilst the WTA tour lacks attractive women (if any), it does have it's perks with visiting movie stars and royalty at Grand Slams events. You'll mooch more tracksuits and tennis racquets then you could ever know what to do with.
Actor - Providing you can deal with your son or daughter living at home until their 25 and working in the hospitality field until their discovered, then it's only a matter of time before you're doing blow in the toilets at the Oscars. Big up, dogg.
Rockstar - Let's face it. We all want to be one and if we can't then make ourselves then make your kids play that 'god damn guitar' until their little fingers bleed. It's worth it just to get loaded at their gigs.
Formula 1 Driver - The height of sport and getting hot girls no matter how many Yellow Pages you need to see over the steering wheel. When you hear you child say 'But I don't wanna go-kart' I suggest you ignor, ignor and jam the accelerator on.
Adoption - Didn't get one that has the looks or has talent to go #1. No problem. Sell it and go on search for a better looking model in a 3rd world country. You'll no doubt pocket some green in the exchange. Win / Win.
So there you have it. The D'Marge guide to living vicariously through your kids.

Mens Leather Jackets
Even though we're midswing through our Australian summer and it's soon to be hotter than Lindsay Lohan's crouch, it's never to early to start thinking about your winter wardrobe.
I have to admit I am somewhat of a fan of the French electronic music act Justice, and recently spotted a signature line of leather jackets which have been brought to market by Surface 2 Air.
If you're in the market for what look to be some seriously hot jackets modelled off the Justice boys then these are defintely worth splashing some cash on.
Check out the Justice signature range from Surface2Air here.

Panerai 1950 Ceramic 8 Days Chrono
Stopped off at the local watch dealer today to see what's new and sure enough I find a Panerai which is worthy of giving up your first born child for.
The Panerai 1950 Ceramic 8 Days Chrono is a black masterpiece with all the usual mod cons that you would expect from a watch of this calibre.
At around US$30,000 this one is for the uber rich and lottery winners who are out to buy some class. Go get yourself one.
