Frgrance

Guys are recognizing the importance of proper grooming in giving them a healthier appearance. It helps in business situations by letting others know you've got yourself together. Moreover, women notice, and will reward you accordingly. Now, all of us engage in some form of proper grooming and hygiene – we brush our teeth, shave occasionally, wash our face from time to time, and clip our nails when we remember. We're going to talk about the basics as well as other stuff that may not be on your radar.
Never underestimate the power of scent. Cologne is very effective if used in moderation–your body chemistry will enhance it further. This is why the same scent doesn't have the same smell on everyone. The basic rule is that if someone who's 5 feet or more away can smell you, you've put too much on (right now, you're probably thinking to yourself that you put on too much this morning). A couple of squirts should do it, so:Apply cologne to either pulse points or body parts with hair. This means applied to your hair, neck, wrists, crook of the elbow, and chest. Pick two spots, because all four can be overwhelming.

Choose a few of fragrances for your repertoire. Get a lighter one for the office and daytime and a muskier one for going out in the evening. Never mix the two. You'll want to use the lighter scent more in the summer months and heavier one in winter months.

Finding a scent that works for you is a matter of personal preference and research. The popular ones like Davidoff's Good Life or Calvin Klein's Contradiction may not work best with your body chemistry. If you're not sure what smells good on you go to a department store or some place like Sephora and try some different ones. If in doubt, ask a beautiful woman for her advice.

Fashion Week is gone until... B Day is gone until 9-21-09


Greetings,
I hope that you had a wonderful Post Fashion Week. I did. Well on yesterday I celebrated my b day in worship service. GREAT! I had a few friends to attend with me. We then had dinner and a movie. We saw Lakeview Terrace. I would like to thank all of you that attended my gatherings. It has become tradition to have more than one event. I frimly believe that everyone should have at least two gatherings for a birthday. You must have two dates to try and accommodate those that cant make it.

This blog has become something that I thought I would become agitated with. However, I enjoy the feedback. Keep the emails coming, luxuriousnecessity@gmail.com. Now back to the business at hand.

I was getting my biweekly manicure and pedicure on Saturday, afternoon (Upper Westside) . In saunters these two women. They were adorned with all types of little familiar brands. They seem to carry on in such a manner that was totally classless and comical. I was totally amused. As I was navigated to my next station to clip my claws, ( I cant fathom the thought of me having fingernails.) I noticed one of these over thirty women examining my red Goyard man bag. Funny. They communicated via text about it.

Then one mustered up enough courage to whisper," What kind of bag is that?" I almost choked. WHY? Here it is these women wanting to be noticed in this salon, where they possibly viewed everyone else as being subservient, but are not well versed on the oldest monogram house in the world. Holy Moley. Needless to say, I educated them and them and gave them non abrasive instructions on how to acquire a piece.

See, I told you all that if you stick with Mr. Cosmopolitan he will not navigate you wrong.

Now also listen to this. Next Fragrances.

Fashion WEEK 2008









Greetings:
Lovely and Wonderful People!
At last we chatted about VMA's. I gave you all the heads up about last week. I attended more events than you could attend. I love and adore fashion. I like the shows, but I enjoy the after parties. They are always filled with people trying to get in and I just whizz on by like a charted jet heading to St. Tropez. ( FYI) You need to get passport.

I carried my man bags. I carried my Goyard messenger, Vuitton Nolita and my wonderful little red Goyard that was hit at the Baby Phat show. The cameras were flashing like it was New Year's

It all started last week. Here we go. I am just going to post one of the pics that was taken after the dinner party pre after party for Baby Phat.

Here are the photos!
Mr. Cosmo ( me) is wearing the blue Tuxedo jacket and the Ralph Lauren Purple Label Silk purple shirt. Pocket square of course. You just have to get with the details.
The lovely COCO and Ice Tea. The photo of the two ladies that look alike... mother and daughter. The daugher is Kimora Lee's assistant. We had a ball all evening. Three brothers Nana Boateng. The greatest designer of menswear alive. ( a good friend of mine). The woman wearing the gold jacket is the one and only Harriet Cole of Ebony magazine. Kimora Lee of course.

Next Blog
I will need you to poll on some items.
Ciao!

SNEAKERS



This is just a quick blog for the early risers. I just got off the text with a friend of mine that does styling. I had to call and get the info, because I have received 4 emails about the VMA's.

The sneakers that the rapper Lil" Wayne is wearing are ATO MATSUMOTO. They could only really be purchased in Japan. I googled them for you. Ebay! I would it do it.

Ok! I am retiring. I have a busy Fashion Week.
Do you all see what time it is? 3:01 am. 9 East Coast) This is why I use my P. Wexler eye cream.
Ciao!

EXHAUSTED from HAMPTONS!



Mr. Cosmopolitan is back from the Hamptons and I am exhasuted from co hosting a party with Social Life magazine ( I really wasn't the host. Everyone just acted like I was) Here is the link for the magazine. I'm heading to many social events for Fashion Week.

Have a Vuitton party next week. Has anyone purchased any thing form the graphite collection?
www.Vuitton.com I like the belts.

There is a Tourneau watch sale this weekend. I also have FRIENDS and FAMILY discount passes for Ralph Lauren. Shoot me an email and I will drop one in the mail to you. I will post pics of the Hamptons later. I have to run off to my tailors. I bought some dress shirts that need to be altered. YES DRESS SHIRTS should be tailored as well. GUYS get your necks measured.You can go to practically any men's store and get it done for free. Ladies you should have at least two nice white crisp blouses in your wardrobe. Ladies go to BrooksBrothers.com They have this wrinkle free one that is the best.

Oh BY the way I am on the phone with my good friend that works at Herme's. She is telling me what Pharrell Williams bought in 2008. She is gettting me a size 50 Berkins. DO THE MATH!
Where do I begin with that photo? First off the bag was custom made by Hermes specifically for Pharrell, with Jacob encrusting the key chain. Secondly, it's "Haut A Courroie" the original Birkin bag. Pharrell won't go into detail on the price of the custom made bag. He merely states "that's tacky". He only discloses that it's price tag can be compared to that of a Mercedes. Nevertheless, he has six of this same bag in different colors.

Thats a Man bag for ya!
