To All:
It’s been a while. I’ve been working on some other projects and have regretfully neglected my little yuppiguide. On the topic of “things neglected,” I should mention the fact that I haven’t shaved in a few weeks. Luckily, I haven’t had any meetings to go to, but the Halloween “costume” has since played out. Looking at my newly purchased electric razor that I bought on Amazon pretty cheap after after my last razor chewed through the “protective” foils (how annoying and painfull), I realized how little time and money I actually spend on taking care of myself. When I buy toiletries (shampoo, soap, face wash, lotion, and deodorant etc) I prefer to do it all at once, and I tend to purchase all of the items from one of two product lines in particular (I guess branding and advertising does work). One trip to Target in Brooklyn is enough to make anybody hold out. That said, after I christened my wet/dry in the shower last night and slapped on some lotion, my Guinness induced Sunday haze seemed to fade away instantly. I felt like a new man. I never seem to have enough time or money, but if I did I can assure you that my next shave would be in the hands of barber for a well deserved hot lather shave.
Yours Truly,
The Wall Street Journal recently did a study that showed men’s business clothing is gaining more and more market share. The casual flip flops, ripped jeans, and vintage tees that we have all come to love over the past few years are being replaced by a band of Brooks Brother Ivies who “just can’t take it anymore.” Dressing up for work is not just for the Fortune 5’s anymore. So if you are ready to sell out your style and shell out some bucks to get ahead at work, I’ve included a few links to help you along your way. A few words of advice, just because the store has an Itallian name (and I am specifically referring to the string of “cannoli tailors” that line 34th street and sell Carenzini rayon for 125 bucks) doesn’t mean you are getting an Itallian suit.
