Great Ads: J'ADORE by DIOR

Reanimating dead celebrities is creepy. There, I said it. I cringe when I see companies using the likeness of a long dead celebrity to hawk a product (especially one that the celeb never even lived to see).

How do you tell the world that Beats By Dre (the industry-shifting headphone line endorsed and spearheaded by music producer Dr. Dre) are now available in slick new colors? How about a commercial featuring Dr Dre hurling paint-filled balloons at the heads of Beats listeners? Good call.

The result is a stunning 45 second clip that may be one of the years best. Props to everyone involved.

I get a lot of emails from readers asking for tips when it comes to suiting. Or, more directly, how to make stylish, modern choices in day-to-day businesswear. After some thought, I think the best way to answer this is with a series of posts about the "dos" and "don'ts" of modern, stylish workplace attire.

First, let me thank all of my readers for sticking with me. We've been in the process of moving into new Manselle Media offices (massive renovation in Virginia's City Center district, pics coming soon). But now that things are settled, I'll be back to blogging.

Sartorialist Find: Gothic Chanel

Seems like at least once a month, I find myself mesmerized by TheSartorialist.com. In case you have somehow been oblivious to this site, it's Scott Schuman's photo journalistic fashion blog. Basically, it's endless photos of nameless,interesting people with interesting style.

A goth girl in Chanel? How fly is she?

Is Charlie Sheen a Genius?

Charlie Sheen is an inescapable fixture in the media right now. There is no question that he is a defensive, stubborn, bitter, angry and unreasonable drug addict. But, is he really #winning?
