Street Shot: Spring CurVe


   
The heavens decided to smile on my city today and the clouds parted, revealing sunshine that was a sight for our sore eyes and downtrodden souls.  Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic but after 4 days of nothing but rain and clouds the sunshine was as satisfying as water after a drought.  So I spotted this fellow during my afternoon walk through downtown Boston and his relaxed and polished-yet-unpolished look was rather cool.  I typically lean toward the well-tailored end of the sartorial spectrum but studying this dude's look is causing me to rethink things a bit.  His linen shirt, black frame glasses and high water trousers with pleats and a relaxed/slightly distressed look were channeling a London vibe with a dash of Amsterdam, without a doubt!  Not to mention his slip-on boat shoes (one of my spring/summer staples), I managed to get a much needed dose of style and sunshine all in my one hour lunch break and made it back to the office quicker than you could say "paisley or polka dot?!"

Model Watch: Diary of Sean O'pry

Since my original Model Watch post of this dude, he has clearly managed to just about cause the entire male modeling world to grind to a screeching halt and worship his smoldering blue eyes and perfectly symmetrical jaw line.  Most average (and average-looking) people may look at a face such as Mr. O'pry's and want to bind their parents' hands & feet and slowly pour hot grits on them for being genetically incapable of passing down such unfathomable good looks or they may occasionally sit and wonder what such a near-perfect-looking person is like on the inside.  Well, wonder no more!  Take a look at this self-made video diary where Sean takes us beneath the seemingly impenetrable lining of the modeling world to show us exactly what really happens right before he hits the runway and his pictures appear on the glossy pages of prestigious fashion magazines.  Plus, I had no idea he had such quick wit which this video shows; who said models didn't have brains?  Keep up all the good work li'l bro, make as much money as you can while your mug still has it's elasticity...
