National Underwear Day

Well everyone it's that time of year again, and by that I mean National Underwear Day. If you are unfamilar with it then you've been in the closet (in more ways than one). This day was actually founded in 2003 in NYC (don't look so surprised). I only wish it was as big in Chicago as it is in NYC (although last year I did see a few people walking around in their underwear. I believe this events main sponsor is Freshpair My friend Jay interduced me to this event a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since. In celebration of this event I've wore my black Rips square cut underwear. I'm so excited because I have a underwear fetish, and NO that does not mean I like smelling them or anything it's just that I enjoy wearing different styles. They make me feel sexy on those days then I feel like crap. I mean don't you all put on certain underwear to make you feel "naughty" or "sexy". Or the crap you put on when you're just doing laundry. I'll like to hear about what other guys (or gals) consider sexy and like to wear. Please take the survey on the right of the screen so we can get a idea of others.

Pictures Around Chicago

Hello everyone,

I thought it would be interesting to try and start a new feature on this blog (along with the new format of the blog). I'm going to try and take various pictures of areas of Chicago. I'm not sure how my readers will like this but I'll like to hear from you. I've attached two pictures of a building I took just last Sunday (July 29th), they are the same building just from a different angel.

Eyewear Fashion

Far from being dorky, glasses now come in so many cool styles that people with 20/20 vision have been known to buy frames without the prescription lenses. Silver-screen stars, quirky musicians and regular people alike have all turned glasses into a serious fashion statement and it’s easy to see why: The right eyewear will not only correct your vision, but will also make you look more polished, put together and intelligent.

To help you find a pair that expresses your personality, we’ve put together a few of our favorite models for the year.


LA Eyeworks Mumbai
Simple but so very chic, these glasses from LA Eyeworks will work morning to night with everything in your closet. The contrast between the heavily lined top and thinly rimmed bottom lenses is designed to draw attention to your face and make you stand out from the crowd. Worn with a suit or a vertically striped dress shirt and black trousers, these glasses will add a just-edgy-enough spin to conservative outfits. They’ll also work well with sporty-casual ensembles, like a lightweight zippered jacket layered over a thin T-shirt and some slim-cut black pants. Bonus: The frames are made from titanium, so they’re as sleek as they are lightweight and durable -- meaning you’ll look sharp in these for years to come.


Oliver Peoples Prescott
Plastic frames place these glasses from Oliver Peoples at a slightly lower price point as far as designer lenses go, but they’re certainly not short on style and were practically designed to make you appear more worldly and sophisticated. The dark, tortoiseshell color is unusual, while the shape of the frames is both contemporary and classic. If your wardrobe is filled with browns, olives and navy blues, these glasses will blend in perfectly. They’ll look killer with a trench coat, and a turtleneck will give them more of a dapper European flair.


Versace VE 1003
Suitable for men with triangular faces due to the very slim, not-too-angular frames, these glasses from Versace won’t overwhelm your face and will also de-emphasize a pointed chin. Those with square-shaped faces will also look great in frames like these since the contoured rims will downplay strong jaw lines. Men with either of these face shapes who love classic clothes and understated elegance should opt for these glasses since they’ll further refine whatever you pair with them. Don’t go too bold with your clothing, however, since these glasses will look best with fabrics and cuts that are equally timeless.


Modo mod1050pl
If your face is round, metallic frames such as these titanium ones from Modo are a good choice as they highlight the center of your face -- particularly the eye area -- thereby putting less focus on the shape of your face. Functionally, these glasses are anti-reflective, meaning they have a coating on the inside of the lens that reduces reflections, especially when the light is coming from behind. Style-wise, think minimalist cool when deciding what to wear with these bright metallic glasses. Try teaming them with streamlined basics like a black crew-neck sweater, gray trousers, and a black belt with some silver hardware.


Robert Marc RM 186
The ultimate hipster eyewear and spotted on celebs everywhere, these glasses from Robert Marc are for the seriously funky only. They are also perfect for men with round faces since the angular lines in the glasses will contrast with the shape of your face and offset its roundness. As well, these glasses will flatter oval-shaped faces since the top ends of the glasses extend out slightly for a mod, retro look. Wear these glasses with slim-fit jeans, sneakers and a striped polo shirt or V-neck sweater for an urban, indie look. Have fun with the youthful frames by sticking to neutrals like black, white and gray in the rest of your outfit, then adding a shirt and some accessories in a really eye-popping shade like bright red, green or yellow.

As far as function is concerned, Robert Marc glasses are made by hand, meaning they’re incredibly well-designed and put together and will last forever. If you’re looking for unique, designer eyewear but you’re on a bit of a budget, these glasses are also a great option since the plastic frames will help keep the total cost of your eyewear down.


These days, fashion is just as important as function when it comes to eyewear. It makes sense, of course. If you have to wear them on your face all day, why shouldn’t they enhance your appearance and fetch you compliments instead of “four eyes” comments? Keep your eyes peeled for great sales, but remember that the most important thing when purchasing eyewear is to find a pair that reflects your character and suits your face.

New Blog Addiction

Ok everyone, I've discovered a new blog that I have come to LOVE. It not only has a lot of hot guys but also interesting things to read. I've added it to my "sites I like" section. If you're interested in checking it out here is the link Rad Ass Homo Adventures . However if I could make just one suggestion. Inculde labels so I can find the hotties easier.

Movie Release

300

Warner, DVD

Jen Chaney, The Washington Post

The men bare their chests while the blood spurts in slow motion excess in "300," the film version of Frank Miller's graphic novel that turned into a box-office sensation during the spring. Fans of this CGI-dominated take on the battle of Thermopylae which ranked in $455 million plus world wide will no doubt be thrilled to gt their hands on this two-disk special edition when it arrives Tuesday.

The special edition DVD boasts a good number of extras including five features, three deleted scenes, a series of Wibisodes about the film's production and a commentary track with director Zack Snyder soon to helm a film version of Alan Moore's "Watchman" as well as co-writer Kurt Johnstad and director of photography Larry Fong. Of the lot, "The 300: Fact or Fiction," a 24-minute featurette that puts the fictionalized tale of the Spartans and the Persians into historical context, is the most worthwhile.

Strangely, the special features delve into only sparing details about how the filmmakers merged live action with computer images to create the movie's unique look.

Best bloody bonus: Of the three deleted scenes, the last offering featuring a close up of a leg being sliced in two is the only one sure to satisfy those with an appetite for more gore.

Hot Fuzz

Universal DVD

Rob Lowman, L.A. Daily News

From the British guys who made "Shaun of the Dead" comes another picture perfect spoof. The target this time is over the top buddy cop movies, and "HOt Fuzz" is so dead on, it's scary. Directed by Edgar Wright, it stars Simon Pegg as Nicholas Angel, a super London cop who is sent to a country town because he's making all the other city clps look bad. But there is something wrong with the town people are being killed in the most gruesome fashions. And except for Nicholas, the town's police dpartment thicks the deathes are accidntal. It's a wonderful absurd situation. But aren't all good buddy f ilms? The difference is "Hot Fuzz" knows it's being funny and does it with style

Weekend Pics

These are the pics I have from the Soccer game. I hope you enjoy them.

As you can tell not all of these pictures are of the game... some of them are of the hot guys I happened to notice at the game. I must admit those polish guys are very cute as you can tell from the pic above.

Weekend Update

Ok guys I have a lot of stuff to talk about for this past weekend so let's just jump right into it.

FRIDAY

Friday was a great day, we celebrated my friends birthday party (turned the big 29). I decided to try and start the night off slow by drinking Malibu Rum, after a few drinks of this the I decided it was time to more on to the Big Boy... the 151. Man it also knocked me on my ass... There were people climbing on Life Guard towers, doing shots of the 151 oh and then I can't forget the double shots of Jello shots (someone needs to teach Pepsi what a shot size is) Oh I found my future ex boyfriend. His name is Dan and he has the most amazing hair (I got to run my fingers through it a few times that night). The sad part about this is that he's moving away in the next two weeks which does not give me that much time to get into his pants. We continue to drink, eat and be merry into the we hours of the night. I managed to stumble home and crashed.

SATURDAY

Saturday started off with a hang over and a need for food. I woke up around 10am and managed to get from my bed to my couch. I texted a few of my friends because I remembered we were suppose to see Jim Verraros (of American Idol and Eating Out)but everyone was still to hung over to make it. I stayed on the couch for some time as I was channel surfing and then I got a text from my buddy Justin. Turned out he was going to Venetian Night and wanted to know if I wanted to join him. For those of you that do not know Venetian Night is basically a parade of boats on the water. The put different designs on and go up the harbor for all to view. There were some pretty good ones this year, the best to me had to be the Blues Brother one I believe. But back to my story. So I managed to drag myself off of the couch and get in the shower. After the fresh water hit my face I started to feel alive again. I quickly changed and headed towards the El to get there. As I arrived I notice that he was there with his Lesbians friends (thank god Lesbians know how to arrive early to events unlike gay guys). They had a kick ass spot already picked out along with booze, food, chairs and everything else you could need. We enjoyed ourselves as the day went on and then it was time for the show. It first started off by a demonstration from the Coast Guard of a water rescue mission which was pretty amazing to watch. A helicopter arrived over the water and two divers jumped in (one being the victim the other the rescuer). It was good for the first 5 min but the 10 min after that was pretty boring. Then in the distance we saw these lights heading towards us Justin and I looked up at them and it was go big we thought it had to be a 747 or something larger. As the lights got closer to us we noticed that it was not one plane but 6-7 of them flying so close in formation that from a distance it appeared as though they were one. It was pretty amazing to see. After this small air show it was time for the parade of boats. We had amazing seats that were RIGHT off of the waters (again thank you lesbians). As the music started and the boats started to enter the harbor my heart started to pound as I was getting excited. After the first 3 boats went past my excitement started to turn into dissappointment. Now I must admit, some of the boats had AMAZING teams (Chicago Bears, Bulls even a "Crosstown Classic" boat), but most of them were not. However as the sun went down and the night started to fall upon us it was time for the best part of the show the fire works this was amazing. We set back and looked up at the sky as the city of Chicago lit up the shore line. I must admit this was all worth it I never seen anything like that. Some of the explosions reminded me of a Stargate battle with the Ancients (yeah I'm a SciFi geek... kill me now). After the fireworks ended we waited until the 500,000+ other people left the park so we won't get caught in the sea of people. As we got on the train I decided I should head home instead of going out anymore (at least that was the plan). As I said good bye to Justin and everyone else heading home I got a text from one of my friends basically saying "We're at the bar come join us". Well since the bar was less then a block away from where I was at I figured what the hell. Long story short we ended up hitting three other bars that night and I did not get home until 4-5am (Oh this was part two of my friends birthday party). Oh and I also have to say thanks to Bryan for being such a good sports and getting naked in front of all the gay boys they really enjoyed that.

SUNDAY

Woke up with hangover part 2 today. However I knew I had big plans for tonight. I was going to a Soccer game with my friend Cort. He was working earlier that morning near my home so after work he stopped over, changed and we headed out to the game. We just there just as they were starting game one (Which was Mexico vs. Italy). Now this was my first time at a soccer game and I had a good time even though (no offense to anyone) Italy SUCKED..... Mexico kicked their ass 2-0. It did not even look like Italy was really trying. However when game two came on the stadium seemed to come alive. It was Spain vs. Poland, OMG I never seen such a alive crowd. The fans were cheering from all over the place (we were sitting in the poland side so we decided to cheer for poland so we won't get beat up). I'm not sure what the chants were that they were saying but since they kept repeating it throughout the entire game I learned it by ear, I just wish I knew what I was saying. The sames (and the guys) were amazing. However I must say SEVEN bucks for a f*cking beer you have to be kidding me. We still managed to have a great time and I'll be posting some pics of this later today.


So as you can tell I had a very busy weekend this week. I really need to take a bit of a break but I won't be able to do that until after Market Days which is taking place Aug 11-12.
