NYC's Bblessing for men

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Stores We Love, Men

It's tough being both handsome and smart. Sure, George Clooney can do it, and, yes, Wes Anderson can do it, and, yes, Woody Allen can almost do it (he's got the "smart" part down, at least) ... but what about all the other men in the world?

Fortunately, there's Bblessing on New York's Orchard Street. As Horacio Silva reports in the New York Times, Bblessing is the thinking man's clothing store. In addition to hip clothes, Bblessing offers up stylish books, CDs and smart-guy accessories. As if it couldn't get any cooler, Bblessing houses Breakbeat Science, a record store within the clothing store.

So, is it ultimately good to get one's clothing, reading and listening all in one stop? Maybe. Or maybe it's a mixed bblessing ...

MovieStyle: Bottle Rocket

Filed under: Style in the News

Forget The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Forget The Royal Tenenbaums. Forget even Rushmore. Before any of these movies came along, there was Bottle Rocket.

Wes Anderson's first foray into filmmaking was co-written with Owen Wilson, and the movie is the film debut of both Owen and brother Luke Wilson. Fans of Wes Anderson will recognize many of his hallmarks: quirky characters, absurd but recognizable situations, a soundtrack of obscure but amazing songs and an underwater scene.

But Bottle Rocket was made with what appears to be a budget of about $763, so the hot outfits of Mr. Anderson's later movies (like the Adidas "Zissou" shoes in The Life Aquatic) are a bit lower-budget. Indeed, in Bottle Rocket, the best we get are matching day-glo orange jumpsuits and coordinated Breathe-Rite nose strips.

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for this movie, however.
