KIBITZ/HOMME

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW GLK. STARTING AT $33,900.*

Tested like a performance sport sedan and fortified like a rugged off-road vehicle, the all-new GLK-Class is the newest addition to the award-winning family of Mercedes-Benz SUVs. Compact, sleek, fuel-efficient, and capable of completely outrunning its weightier competition, the GLK proves a luxury performance vehicle can have a wild side. We submit its powerful 268-horsepower V-6 engine and 258 lb-ft of torque as proof.

Add to that its 7-speed automatic transmission with Comfort and Sport shift program, a traction-control system that monitors wheel slip 6,000 times a minute, and AGILITY CONTROL suspension, and you’ll see why the GLK’s in a performance league all its own. The GLK350 4MATIC, available in dealerships now, offers the power and safety of 4MATIC 4-wheel drive; the 2-wheel drive GLK350 will be added mid-April 2009.

Learn more about the all-new 2010 GLK-Class. The cargo space, the premium interior features, the comfort, the engineering — there’s so much more that makes this compact luxury SUV the next great Mercedes-Benz.

Sean P. Diddy Combs did the damn thing with the Sean John sketches for the President-Elects Inauguration day (January 20th) attire.  Out of all the sketches this is one of my favorite.  I think the Classic Single-Button White Dinner Jacket, White Shirt, Black Bow-tie, Pocket Square and Trousers are killer.  See all of the Inauguration Sketches on the New WWD Men’s Website.

I’ve been into The Ryan Rowe Collection since July of last year (2007) and I’m kicking myself for not posting up the collection sooner.  With great hand-made craftsmanship and 1/2 sizes up to a 14 , you cant go wrong. “Ryan Rowe presents a concept of modern luxury which is about quality, accessibility, simplicity, attention to detail, getting back to nature and being comfortable.”

Looking for some warm art for your place? Or maybe a gift for a friend?  Trust in DripStick!  I stumbled upon the DripStick booth on the corner of Spring and West Broadway in SoHo, NYC a few nights ago with all these beautiful pieces of art that I felt would mix well with some I already have up and loved it.  This is a great gift for the art lovers, especially you indie art lovers. 

“DripStick is a small art based company in Brooklyn, NY. We are comprised of a handful of artists. All designs and images are from original work by DripStick artists. DripStick was founded on the belief that art should be within everyone’s reach. While DripStick is comprised of artists who know and appreciate the value of fine art, we do what we do because we believe that technology can do for art what it is already doing for music: making it accessible and affordable”.

I saw an advertisement for this and thought I would go a off the topic of fashion and express myself a little. In my opinion; Sean P. Diddy Combs is the man! I look up to this guy. He pimps the system, lives hard,  dresses exquisitely constantly challenges himself, he’s the life of any party and loves every minute of everything he does. The man is a walking Robb Report.

Ok, I’m done.

With all that being said; Diddy’s new ad campaign for his new Men’s and Women’s fragrances “I Am King/Queen” has been said to have a his small focus on the President Elect for his marketing strategies. Diddy told The Wall Street Journal “When you see Barack Obama, you see a strong, elegant black man and when people see my ad, it’s almost like that’s the trend.“  the name is mainly inspired by the fact that every man is royal in his own way, respecting oneself and carrying oneself in a respectable manner makes any man king. The fragrance will be a Macy’s exclusive, expected to be a December 2008 release.

Note: Barack Obama will not be officially sponsoring the cologne in any way.

“Do it like Diddy do”.
