I’m ashamed to admit, I’m a little late to the party. Run Of the Mill stopped taking orders for their shoes on 26 November, but yet here I am with a small write up because I do believe theirs is a shop that is definitely not run of the mill. Beautiful, well crafted and coming […]

Asian pop culture began seeping into the West in the 1990s, with a stream of Japanese imports: “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” Nintendo’s Pokemon, “Iron Chef” and anime cartoons, notes Adam Ware, CEO of Mnet, a new U.S. cable channel featuring only Asian content. Decades of videogames like “Mortal Kombat” and “Street Fighter” have put martial […]

Ryan Gosling. His watch from Drive. His suits from Crazy.Stupid.What’s not to Love?
December 5, 2011
I’ve yet to see Neal Caffrey in one but for his real life luminaries- Grant, Sinatra and Astaire (this Monsieur was buried in one), it was de riguer attire for upstanding gentlemen. Before you allude the crassness of a velvet blazer to kings of pornographic empires, please remember that Hugh didn’t start the trend, it […]

So… Confession: It’s not often that one Monsieur develops a man crush on another. Then you get a prime specimen smartly suited, effortlessly snarky, spectacularly sculpted in the form of Ryan Gosling in his latest film- Crazy.Stupid.Love.

Foreign tourists are coming up to me on the streets and asking, “David, you have so many different kinds of inequality in your country.

While Googling “Awesome keyboards” I came across this little tidbit tucked away 6 pages deep in search. I’m pretty sure even as I write this, the steampunked retrotastic data entry device must be rocketing up the search engine. Call me misogynistic, but nothing turns me on more than a babe lady in eyeglasses huddled over typewriter- in […]

Apologies for the 2 week hiatus, work beckoned and as always, it’s nice to be gorgeously interrupted. Featuring Noah Mills and Brad Koenig, HE by Mango Fall Winter 2011 collection must be a definite reprieve for North America and alas, late for Australian climes. That said, HE by Mango has often held a siren call […]

Pierre Corthay ranks amongst the best. That needed to be said upfront. A classically trained shoemaker, he apprenticed at luminary marques John Lobb and Berlutti and let me say unequivocally- the apple doesn’t fall very fair away from the shoemaking tree. Though Corthay shoes often straddle (rather successfully I might add) the line between what’s […]
