If you go to the homepage of the NYT Magazine right now, and scroll down a bit, you'll find a video interviewing Megan Fox for about 6 minutes. I couldn't find a way to direct link to the video or to embed it, but in it she once again proves that she's not just a pretty face. Between her pretty logical and mathematically sound reasoning on why she's usually the Mean Girl and her comments on comic books (long a haven for nerds), Megan Fox is someone I'll continue to keep my eye on.
Though I do take umbrage with the cat lady comments. Ah, so be it.
Additionally, I've been really bathing in menswear fashion photos lately. I found a few blogs thanks to this article from the NYT that Steve linked me to. And via those blogs I've started learning designers and finding other places to look at and read about men's fashion. It's a world that keeps reeling me in. May I recommend:
- A Continuous Lean: Probably the best of the bunch I found, but it's focus on Made in America is a little off putting to me. Not because I don't believe in American quality, or the benefits of keeping your money local, but because I don't think it's fair to ignore the ingenuity and quality coming out of other countries.
- Fine and Dandy Shop: My other new favorite and a little more personable than ACL. It's recent interview with A New York Dandy's John Wellington turned me onto V Man magazine. Which I hope to pick up a copy of this week while on vacation.
- Kauffmann Mercantile: Found this via ACL and while it's less fashion and more gear, definitely an interesting blog to follow if you're interested in the history of good quality products and design (often times also common place).
- Glenn O'Brien: O'Brien is GQ's Style Guy and was recently interviewed by ACL. (Through which I found out about designer Thom Browne, not to be confused with another designer I'm a fan of, Tom Ford.) Anyway - O'Brien's advice seems pretty well grounded and his discussions of style are entertaining as much as they are informative. He also writes for The GQ Eye feature.
- NYT Sunday Styles: Finally there's the Sunday Styles section of the NYT. I remember a few years ago when Steve and I sat around ogling their annual (I think) publication focused purely on men's fashion. Now I've bookmarked it and will check it every week.
