Hyden Yoo Vilas gingham shirt
On August - 27 - 2009
“This is another peek at the new collections that are popping up this upcoming spring. This is a gingham shirt by Hyden Yoo Vilas. If I was an up and coming young banker or advertising exec who wants to seem professional but still hip, this is what I would wear. I feel that Hyden Yoo Vilas has a really great relaxed personal style that is always being communicated throughout all his pieces, be they a tweed suit or a t-shirt.
I think this shirt is snazzy as hell. I can just imagine the hot girl at the office mouthing those words as I pass by in this little number. I really enjoy the dark checkered patter and how it is very nicely accentuated by that large black stripe that goes down the center.

It's the end of the world and I feel great.
On August - 26 - 2009
La Fin Du Monde is another great beer made in the trappist style. Its a Belgian-style triple fermentation golden ale. It is produced in Quebec, Canada by the Unibroue brewery. It’s a multiple winner of several different medals of excellence, which barely gives credit to the immense satisfaction one can derive from consuming such divine nectar.
It’s name is French for “The end of the world” and is a play on the belief ancient explorers had that upon reaching North America they had, in fact, reached the end of the world. Reflecting on this, and more importanly, on the fact that this is ale has 9% ABV, I find the name fitting as hell. Twelve of these bad boys would end your world with a quickness and intensity worthy of the apocalypse.
One great point is that unlike more standard triple ales, La Fin Du Monde is less bitter and more spicy, with notes of coriander and orange peel, giving this beer a great taste with a strong personality. It goes great with food one would normally consume alongside red or white wines. I also like to pair it with some fine cheeses or a fruit-based dessert. Most specialty beer purveyors and beer gardens carry it and it isn’t relatively hard to find. I would totally make the effort and poke around for it.

$49 Million 8 Bedroom Coral Gables Mansion
On August - 26 - 2009
So you won the mega lottery. Your rich uncle left you his oil well. You caught Bin-Laden. We don’t how you got all that money, we just want to show you how to spend it.
Obviously you’ve given your fair share to charity. You’ve bought all your family members cars and cribs. You donated heavily to The Haute Spot for giving you hours of entertainment. In other words, you’ve taken care of your priorities. So now it’s time to treat yourself. Now it’s time to take care of numero uno.
Sure you can go out and buy a Ferrari. Sure you can go out and get yourself a new watch. Sure you can finally take that trip to Italy you’ve always wanted. But nothing says “I F**Kin Made It” quite like a Miami mansion that even Tony Montana himself would be jealous of.
We just went from 6 to 12
Nestled in the heart of Coral Gables (Miami’s Jungle of Luxury) lies an estate begging for scantily clad models partying in the pool, expensive german, italian, and swedish engineering parked out front, and a boat (see: yacht) parked in the back that would make T-Payne drop his auto-tuner.
Ivy League
Gentlemen we would like to introduce to you- The Nebuchadnezzar (That’s not what’s it called, but that’s what we would call it). But with 8 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, two floors, a bar, 20,000 of sq feet, a basketball court, game room, 6 car garage, unrestricted ocean access, and 3 of the best acres of land money can buy- you can call it Eden for all we care.
Who needs a vacation, when this is your backyard
Yeah, just because.
The gym you'll never use. If you don't change the T.V. We'll judge you.
For all your Ruth's Cris Take Out
A kitchen this grand, deserves hiring a chef
A fireplace? In Miami? Sure, why not.
Never mind the ocean views
I've seen a room like this before. Yeah. It was in Versailles. It was Napoleon's. You might have heard of him
Really? Is that all really necessary?
Hotel Lobby? No just my hallway.
Your sports cove/pool room isn't complete without some African War Memorabilia.
Ok so our friends at Hummingbird Financial ran some numbers and assuming that even if you put the standard 20% down ($10 Million!), and had a perfect credit score (you better), you still would need to pay a heart-wrenching $221,630 a month! For 30 years!
Here’s to dreaming:
You better invite us over for tea

A gator-covered incinerator.

Check out this new addition to the highly popular line of turbo lighters from Dunhill. The Turbo Matt Black Alligator Lighter. Any guy who smokes, be it cigarettes or cigars, knows that a great lighter can really make a great impression on someone else.
When a lady friend asks you to light her cigarette, usually they are very impressed when you light it with a regular Zippo instead of a run of the mill Bic lighter.Now imagine what would happen if you lit her smoke with one of these bad boys from Dunhill?
That’s right, a hand job on the spot.
The palladium construction on this thing is top notch but it is that black alligator jacket that really makes this a beautiful piece and sure to be an heirloom in your family for years to come. That is until your slacker son starts using to smoke that reefer. Hippie.
