The Bellow By Contego Eyewear (14 Pics)


Named after the Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow these smart looking sunglasses by Brooklyn based Eyewear brand Contego are dressed to impress.  The hot frame and interesting colors make these shades unique and provocative.  Kind of like redonkulously hot super model Alessandra Ambrosio.  Contego Eyewear makes hot frames, Alessandra Ambrosio has a hot hot frame... that's how I made the connection people.  I hope it got your attention.

Death's Door Spirits

Death's Door Spirits sure do look tasty.  Inspired by the Death's Door passage between Washington Island and Door County in Wisconsin, this alcohol brand works with local farmers and when possibly uses organic ingredients, like the juniper berries in their gin.  Is it cocktail time yet?  I'm ready for a drink, Death's Door Spirits are making me thirsty.

The Evolution Of Gaming By Playboy Playmate Jo Garcia (14 Pics)


This video is a pulsing 64 bit nod to the gaming community and how far they have come in a fairly short amount of time.  Playboy Playmate Jo Garcia hams it up by getting up close and intimately personal with various game system controllers in her Evolution Of Gaming video.  I think all of us have at least some fond memories of Nintendo or Sega, we probably didn't get into gaming as much as Jo Garcia but everyone "plays" in their own ways I guess.  Duck Hunt was and is the shizznit.

El Dorado Golf And Beach Club (14 Pics)



Summer went by ridiculously quick, if you want to keep the fun and sun of Summer rolling you might want to head down to Los Cabos in Baja Mex.  The El Dorado Golf and Beach Club is one step away from heaven on Earth.  The only thing missing? ...You guessed it, strippers!  This resort has everything; a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course, spa, fitness center, fishing, off-roading, and an endless amount of water sports.  El Dorado Golf and Beach Club might just be the perfect vacation spot, feel free to invite me on your next trip.  Or, if you're feeling extra wealthy you can even purchase a home inside the resort.  Sounds like a solid investment.  Think of the money you'll save in tanning alone.

The Salmon Toe By Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III (4 Pics)






The Salmon Toe Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III colab will actually be released.  These fresh kicks were once thought to be sample only but 72 will be available at Ronnie Fieg's new NYC store KITH.  Salmon Toe kind of sounds like a disease you might pick up walking around barefoot in Bangkok but they actually look really good and come with a limited edition t-shirt, and wooden shoe box and dog tags engraved by Good Wood NYC.  Good luck getting your Grubby Mitts on these Asics they will definitely be gone faster then you can say 'Salmon Toe'.

Brooklyn Gin (21 Pics)



Brooklyn Distilling Co. was established way back in 1895 but due to tough times most-likely caused by WW1 they shut their doors.  Fast forward over 100 years and they're back with their first product, Brooklyn Gin.  I could talk about how quality this booze is with its hand cracked juniper berries, locally sourced grains, and fresh citrus peels but I'd rather point your attention to how fresh the bottle is because judging a book by its cover is fun.  The old school colored glass bottle will look great in anyone's home bar or surrounded by a brown paper bag hidden in your coat pocket smuggled into a baseball game.  The only way Brooklyn Gin could get any better... if Brooklyn Decker was serving it to you.

Sovereign Yacht By Gray Design (15 Pics)



How much money do you make a year?  How much money will you make in your lifetime?  Multiply that by 100 and you still won't be able to afford the Sovereign Yacht by Gray Design.  Pricing in at a pantie dropping $135 million +, this yacht will take a lot of scrilla to ever be parked in your slip.  The Gray Design Sovereign Yacht does surpass anything on the water in regards to quality and amenities.  For that ginormous price tag you get a jacuzzi, infinity pool, heli pad, beach club, wind and solar powered lights (because alternative energy is all the rage), a custom limo to take you around whatever majestic port your travels take you to, and last but certainly not least bragging rights that your shiny boat costs more than everyone else's and that makes you special.

This week's Gratuitous Bikini Model video belongs to Kylie Bisutti.  The Victoria's Secret model is ok-looking if you like that long legged, dirty blonde, California girl thing... Kylie Bisutti is just about 6 feet tall, throw a pair of high heels on this chick and she could probably dunk on you.

Cheer The Beard Hat By Jeremy Fish




Jeremy Fish is a well established San Fransisco based artist best known for concocting paintings and illustrations of furry animals.  What Mr. Fish is lesser know for is his beautiful face mane or chin mullet.  His beard has literally won an award and to celebrate that fancy face fur he has teamed up with New Era and designed the Cheer The Beard Hat.  The fitted hat, available through Upper Playground has a removable beard so you can be stylish just like Jeremy.  Does this hat make me look hairy?

Go shred brah!

They Live By Night Art By Morgan Slade


What do half naked women, paint, a camera and rock 'n roll have in common? Not much until Morgan Slade works his magic and Frankensteins them piece by piece into beautiful works of mixed media art. Mr. Slade is working on his upcoming show They Live By Night at the LeBasse Projects Gallery. What makes his works so uncommon is the process that is undertaken to birth a finished piece. Starting with a group of fetching and titillating minimally dressed woman, Slade poses, paints and shoots them. After the photography is completed he then gets down and dirty printing the photos on archival digital proofing prints and goes at them with sand paper, gloss, paint and even the occasional gold leaf. The culminated work is a sexy madness suitable for any wall. Morgan Slade's works will be available for viewing at the LeBasse Projects Gallery Sept 17 thru Oct 22.

The San Fernando Valley Mercantile Co. Tool Bag


I've heard of people being called tool bags but I've never actually seen a "Tool Bag".  Thanks to The San Fernando Valley Mercantile Co. I know what one actually looks like.  This stylish bag packs some serious durability you probably could actually throw some tools in the mofo but I'm thinking using it for a carry-on bag is probably what most of us non construction workers will end up doing.  Based on a Bell Systems repairman's bag The San Fernando Valley Mercantile Co. has reconstructed this classic using cotton green duck canvas, top grain leather on all of the straps (yes there is a shoulder strap too), and antique nickel rivets to finish it off.  Grab yours and join a union.

Music Monday: The Animals "House Of The Rising Sun"


The Animals song House Of The Rising Sun is damn near perfect.  Helpful tidbit: The Animals are often considered one of the first "heavy" rock bands.  House Of The Rising Sun has been included in countless movie soundtracks like Casino (when Joe Pesci is getting whacked).  Rule number one never go behind the boss's back and always listen to your Music Monday.

"On The Road" Movie Trailer By Marshall Headphones


Marshall Headphones and Vice Media have joined forces and weaved together a documentary about a rock and roll band's shit-crazy life on the road.  This documentary doesn't just focus on the band, which happens to be the Eagles Of Death Metal but it also takes a closer look at the crews (roadies!!!) that set up the shows.  More often than not the crews rage just as hard as the bands they work with. 







Sperry Topsider x Penfield Colab Boat Shoe


Legendary footwear brand Sperry Topsider has joined forces with Penfield in this colab.  The joint venture conjured a camo boat shoe that something you've likely not laid your peepers on before.  The classic loafer silhouette and canvas camo color-way seem to trend fairly well for these kicks.  However, to rock these you may have to enlist, shave your head, then buy a mustang...

The Girls On Bikes Project By INSA

INSA has been traveling the globe, hitting up Hong Kong, London, L.A., San Fransisco, Ghent (a Belgian City, had to look that one up for you). His mission has been to photo-document local bountifully blessed volunteering broads sitting on bikes in front of murals in each of these cities.  INSA is using the photographic pieces in his Girls On Bikes project to generate conflict in the viewer.  He's asking the question "What do you see, need, or want more? The art, the bike, or the babe?"  I'll be greedy and take all of the above.
