"Mansome" Reveals Men's Beauty Obsessions

After the disturbingly provocative "SuperSize Me," where Oscar-nominee Morgan Spurlock revealed how he gained 29 pounds by eating at McDonald's, another interesting documentary film is soon to be released, and it is "Mansome." This time, he focuses on men's grooming practices. According to Spurlock, men are like women who also do regular grooming but are more secretive about it. However, people have much different opinions about this. He proves this by interviewing real people including Hollywood celebrities such as Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis, who are either doing their regular tanning, waxing, threading eyebrows, nail polish, facial treatments or not any of them. He reveals that men and women are alike. They are naturally compulsive with their own looks.

Mansome gives significance to the beauty of beard and mustache styles. Spurlock got himself involved and made an extremely difficult decision of having his own mustache shaved (which by the way has become part of his identity). And there goes the journey to the international beard and mustache competitions that are still happening today. Grooming has been defined by historians and culturists "to attract the mate." Men do this grooming focusing on styling the beard or mustache. The kind of style you wear reveals your persona. What you choose is how you like to express yourself socially.

Spurlock expands the topic by interviewing all sorts of men: gay and straight (and a few women), as well as the barber shop owners on their likes and dislikes. Interestingly, there are styles that can end up either romantically or to sex. The film also revealed that women prefer less hair. When it comes to grooming and styles, Hollywood celebrities who participated in the interview have different points of views. According to John Waters, he may look like a pervert but his pencil style mustache brings him money while Zach Galifianakis prefers not to look at the mirror.

Spurlock's purpose on the film is to create awareness that men and women are alike. Both are obsessive with their looks and appearance. Men perform crazy beauty routines too. And surveys have shown that more women are attracted to manly, handsome men — the mansome. But have you checked yourself on what kind of mansome you are? If not, it might be time to be the person you want to be.

007 Takes a Shave in Skyfall

The word association at the opening sets the tone for the teaser. Next we see a montage of turmoil: coffins covered by the British flag, a train crashing through a wall, James Bond 007 shooting his gun.
…And right in the middle of the trailer, Bond gets shaved by a beautiful woman with a straight razor.
The message is almost subliminal. In between the stressful moments that are part of his action-packed career, the man takes the time to get a good shave. His choice of razor shows that he takes good care of himself.
Plus, having someone to assist is a nice touch.

No. 4711: The Unique and Distinctive Cologne of the Centuries

Some fragrances transcend the Iconic through its nature inspired scent, a hexagonal shaped bottle with a rich label in blue-gold, the No. 4711 Eau de Cologne was honored with the ''Brand of the Century'' title. Like a fairytale magic potion, the secret formula nicknamed Aqua Miriabilis was a unique wedding present given to  Wilhelm Muelhens about 220 years ago. The irresistible blend of refreshing, relaxing and revitalizing in one fragrance gained immediate success spoiling the senses of famous personalities from aristocrats to royal figures.  

Born in Cologne, the German city with a tradition in creating enchanting body care products, Muelhens' small factory in the Glockengasse was given the number 4711 during French occupation. Nowadays the ''Number of the World'', 4711 is a brand recognized all over the globe maintaining the magic even if the fine tradition has been acquired in 2007 by the Maurer & Wirtz house of perfumes.

Wondering how No. 4711 impressed the Tsar of Russia, the Prince of Whales or the German genius Goethe? While some may still believe in fairytale dust, in the appealing aroma one can recognize the use of natural ingredients. The blend of orange, bergamot, lavender, rosemary and neroli masterfully fused create a positive counterpoint and have a stimulating, harmonizing effect. Contributing to the perfume's elegance, the retro looking bottle named after its inventor, Molanus underlines high-quality at the same time being easy to use and to transport.

As the time passed, No. 4711 only gained more fame and admirers. Forever part of the luxury category, Aqua Miriabilis has developed new colognes meant to refresh the body, mind and soul. The new line Aqua Colonia maintains the aromatherapy concept together with the relief-designed bottle bringing more diversity to the feel-good scent.

Try a spritz of Juniper Berry & Marjoram for a poignant herbal reawakening. Lavender& Thyme creates a comforting calm. Royal Riesling raises the spirits, as Melissa & Verbena sooths and revitalizes. Lemon & Ginger sprinkles a little spice and a lot of joy into a hectic daily life, while Rhubarb & Clary Sage wanders back in time to cheerful childhood days. Blood Orange & Basil has the scent of the sultry South and Vetyver & Bergamot transport to the earthy tropics. Beautiful faceted bottles continue the tradition of beauty within and without that is the No. 4711 standard.

If the refreshing Aqua Colonia line does not feel distinctive enough, No. 4711 continues to evolve and renew. Under the slogan ''I feel Nouveau!'' the rethought 4711 Nouveau Cologne mixes the freshness of black currants, silky, peonies, sandalwood with the calming effect of the evodia fruit. The transparent bottle, retaining the hexagon shape, stands for the futuristic and new, while paying homage to the charm of No. 4711.

Wear the cologne of the centuries, feel as unique and distinctive as the personalities who have chosen it! Pick your enchanting magic potion whether it is the classic No. 4711 scent, the aromatherapy adventures in Aqua Colonia or the contemporary, sharp Nouveau Cologne.

Quality leather wallets make perfect gifts for the men in your life

Whether you are shopping for a present for your father's birthday, a co-worker's retirement party or your son's 18th birthday, a wallet is a good choice because every man needs one. Color and design are just two factors to consider when selecting a wallet. You also have to consider the features of the wallet. For example, how many credit card slots, bill pockets and slip pockets does it have? More important, how many will the wallet's owner need? A wallet is an intensely personal item because it is something that a man uses every day and carries close to his body. Take the time to choose a superior, attractive and durable leather wallet for the man in your life. He will be reminded of your thoughtfulness every time he sees it.

A fine selection of European leather goods for men, including items from Golden Head, Ettinger and Piero Tucci, are now available at Fendrihan.

When you are shopping for quality leather wallets for men, you should consider craftsmanship, style and functionality. Craftsmanship is important because you want to select a wallet that is well-constructed to provide years of use and pleasure. A wallet should be flawlessly made and every detail should be impeccable. Style is essential for the fashion-conscious man whose accessories are an extension of himself. A wallet is an expression of a man's individuality, and it should be an accurate and flattering representation of its owner. Functionality is certainly not the least of these qualities. A wallet is a functional item, and its features should reflect that. Whether a man prefers to carry a variety of credit cards or enough cash to cover his expenses, his wallet should be capable of carrying the load.There are two basic types of quality leather wallets: billfolds and coat wallets.

Billfolds tend to be either bi-fold or tri-fold, depending on factors such as the number of credit card slots. The coat wallet is a slimmer option than the billfold, making it a good choice for men who desire a less bulky option or have concerns about a wallet's visibility through a garment. If you are looking for quality leather wallets, Fendrihan offers an outstanding selection of impressive options from which to choose.

And with Father's Day in the horizon, this is the perfect time to order that special gift and have it arrive in time for the occasion.
