The Blown Away Guy was aspirational, and my dad aspired. He might not have known that the Blown Away Guy’s chair was designed by Le Corbusier, or maybe even who Le Corbusier was, but he knew what could make a guy eschew a savings account in favor a McIntosh 2105 receiver for the baddest hi-fi in town. He might not have known not to douse himself in a sea of Polo cologne, but he knew how to fold a pocket square for a three-piece suit. When my dad strutted into the production facility at the Providence Journal, he was the best-dressed guy there. Of course, he was the only guy in a suit; these guys were driving trucks to deliver the paper. But it didn’t matter. He had a full head of silver hair at the age of 35, and he looked good. And he knew it. Everyone did. … [Read more...] about My Dad Was The Maxell “Blown Away Guy,” Even If I Can’t Prove It

Thanks to Urban Dictionary, we know that triple beams, those things we used to weigh shit in science class, are also especially useful at measuring drugs. Here, the Teflon Don alludes to their usefulness in the sale of cocaine, the proceeds of which are then used to obtain a Mercedes S-Class. Thanks for the tip, Ross! … [Read more...] about The Rick Ross Guide To High-End Automobiles

“There’s no better education than for the kid who wants these blue pair of sneakers to just go into Foot Locker two blocks away, buy them for $60, paint them blue, and find a reg tag at the Home Depot, and of a sudden, you have a one-of-one version of my shoe,” Abloh laughed. “That’s the brilliance of youth culture—that’s what I would do.” … [Read more...] about Figures of Speech

A Marc Jacobs intern left temporarily in charge of the company Twitter account (the company is currently seeking a professional brand Tweeter; @ them to apply) had a kind of a breakdown in the early hours of Friday morning. The intern wrote: "I was asked to do this until we found a replacement… I hate this job. Hope they find someone soon. Robert is so picky! We have presented him with 50 people. He's not happy." (The intern was referring to Jacobs' business partner and occasional Tweeter, Robert Duffy.) And: "You guys and gals have no idea how difficult Robert is. I am only an intern. My last day is tomorrow. I wouldn't be tweeting this if not!" Then: "Good luck! I pray for you all. If you get the job! I'm out of here. See ya! Son't want to be ya! Roberts a tyrant! Seriously!

Then finally: "Yea, walk in my MJ … [Read more...] about Another Year In Which Jessica Simpson Will Not Make $1 Billion Off Her Clothing Line

RT: She’s so great. I’ve known her for years. We’ve been looking for something to do together, and fortunately both of us have been very busy with our own careers. But the day the announcement that The Rundown was canceled came out, she called me and was like, “What are we doing together? The next thing we’re doing, we’re doing it together.” And have this deal at HBO, so I was like, “Well, I have this sketch show that I really want to do, and I’ve been pitching it, and there’s some interest somewhere else.” She said to bring it to HBO, so we had a meeting with Amy Gravitt, and at that meeting they bought it sight unseen. We didn’t have to shoot a pilot. We went straight to series, and in less than a year, in eight months, the show was on television, which is crazy. That’s crazy. And it’s one of the fastest shows HBO has ever turned out. … [Read more...] about Robin Thede on
