Men Lifestyle: Aston Martin DBS

Before its release, the DBS had a cameo in James Bond flick Casino Royale to tease Aston martin fans with the shape of things to come. Priced at a hefty US$260,000, this piece of British heritage is set for progress, eliminating previous design, production and financial fetters.


Expressive and explosive, the DBS will herald the new Aston Martin era. The ultimate embodiment of the DB9 coupe, the DBS replaces the muscular Vanquish as the all-new flagship with just 300 cars to be produced each year at its factory in Gaydon, UK. Quicker than any Aston road car before it, thanks to it well massaged V12 engine, it also weighs about 100kg less than the regular DB9.

Raw power aside, the DBS is dressier than its predecessors. From bonnet to boot, it displays flowing curves, subtle sills and complex surfaces that elicit instant double takes. Grand, luxurious and marked by smooth and effortless maneuvers, the front end's yawning air scoop and the rear's carbon fibre diffuser and twin exhausts certainly suggest extraordinary performance and superior airflow management.

Once inside, brace yourself for sensory overload. As a touch of extravagance, the dashboard knobs and accents are made from solid aluminum while the centre stack has been reconfigured for enhanced precision and functionality.

Man Fashion: How Many Ways to a Handkerchief

These days, most men incorporate squares and handkerchiefs into their suits for the simple reason that it’s elegant and adds interest to what otherwise might be an overly dark, plain look. Nevertheless, handkerchiefs get a bad rap as unsanitary when you want to blow your nose in them, even though this is what they were meant for and how they were used for centuries. When used as an accessory to a suit, a handkerchief is known as a pocket square. Wikipedia has list out several ways in which a pocket square can be folded :

• The Presidential is folded at right angles to fit in the pocket.

• The TV Fold is folded diagonally with the point inside the pocket.

• The One-point Fold is folded diagonally with the point showing.

• The Two-point Fold is folded off-center so the two points don’t completely overlap.

• The Three-point Fold is first folded into a triangle, then the corners are folded up and across to make three points.

• The Four-point Fold is an off-center version of the Three-point Fold.

• The Cagney is basically a backwards version of the Four-point Fold.

• The Puff or the Cooper is simply shaped into a round puff.

• The Reverse Puff is like the Puff, except with the puff inside and the points out, like petals.

If you wear many good suits and like to look sharp, you may want to explore more variants in how to fold a handkerchief. For most of these, you can certainly teach yourself, but you might ask the advice of a salesman in a high-end men’s clothing store too. That way, you can be sure you’re performing the fold correctly.

• The Astaire is a puff with a point on either side.

• The Straight Shell is pleated and then folded over to give the appearance of nested shells.

• The Diagonal Shell is pleated diagonally and then folded.

Sachin Tendulkar Detailed Biography

Sachin Tendulkar, born Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, (dob: April 24, 1973) is a living cricket legend and member of the Indian cricket team since 1989. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16. He is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time and possibly the greatest of his era. Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin Tendulkar, "He reminds me of myself". Born in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) into a middle class family, Sachin Tendulkar was named after his family's favorite musician Sachin Dev Burman. He played his first international match against Pakistan in Karachi facing up to the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He scored just 15 runs and was bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match. It was an innings very different from how the rest of his career went. He followed it up with his maiden test fifty a few days later at Faisalabad. However he could not get a century in that series. His One-day International (ODI) debut on December 18 was equally disappointing where he was dismissed without scoring a run again by Waqar Younis. The series was followed by a non-descript tour of New Zealand in which he did not make remarkable contribution. In the tour of England in 1990 he scored his maiden test century but the other scores were not remarkable. It was in the 1991/1992 tour of Australia that he made his mark as a remarkable batsman. He has been man of the match 11 times in test matches and Man of the Series twice, both times in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. His maiden ODI century came on September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo. He was named by Wisden as one of the Cricketers of the Year 1997 which was the first calendar year in which he scored a 1000 test runs. He repeated the feat in 1999, 2001 and 2002.

Man Fashion: Accessories that Complete Your Look

The backbone of a stylish men beside having certain essential, enduring chic clothing, they should also have the accessories that able to match with the style.

So if you are thinking of getting any of the accessory to add on to your wardrobe, why not first review on what are fashion accessories that I consider essential that complete your look.

Sunglasses
Not only useful on the beach, every man should have a pair in his car. To make a strong impression in the style department, look for something timeless. Easy match with any color of the cloths.


Black Leather Wallet
Considering how important wallets are to guys, you should get one that will never go out of style. Stay away from anything with Velcro or slogans on it. Suitable for any occasion.

Steel band Watch
A steel banded watch will never let you down for a casual or sporty style. Many are also waterproof, so this style of watch is a great choice for active individuals. To ensure you watch goes with all your weekend gear, keep it simple when selecting the face design.


Cologne
For most men, cologne and aftershave application is such a daily routine that a particular scent become part of your identity. To avoid out of fashion, remember to stay away from strong scented colognes.


Mobile Phone
In today society, cellphone become a necessity to most if not all men and women. Get one that with style and features that match your requirements, beside normal phone book, calendar, alarm. Other features such as mp3, camera, video recorder, games, and even GPS.


MP3 Player
If you are the one who prefer to have separate unit of phone and mp3. Then I suggest you to look for some trendy one. I am sure the first mp3 player stick your mind should be iPod. Now even come with various color to match your style.

So do you think is there any other things that should be included here too?

Men Lifestyle: Credit Card Review

I am sure everyone know what is credit card, with the heavy promotion by credit companies and banks lately, almost everyone on the street carry at least 1 credit card, of course you must qualified, ie. meet the banks or credit card companies minimum requirements. The beauty of this plastic cards is we don't require to carry that much of cash when we go for shopping, and this also give us emergency cash when we need it, and many many new features coming along.

But today if you intend to apply another new card, or about to get the first credit card for yourself. I bet you will confuse with the latest promotions and additional bonus or offers by the banks.

So, let me run through some of the few common offers or promotions given by the banks.

Annual Fee
Turn them off if there is still annual fee. Most of the credit cards now offer no annual fee. Unless we are refer to some special credit cards, such as platinum card.

Cash Rebate
Most of the credit cards now offer cash rebate on purchases; so find out what are the terms offer by various banks. Some even offer special cash rebate at special leading retailers specified by the banks.

Balance Transfer

Exclusive Events

Man Fashion: Do You Know what Celebrities Have in Common for Fashion?

What do Madonna, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg and Sylvester Stallone all have in common? No, it’s not the newest romantic scandal in Hollywood - In recent years one line of clothing has been by worn by all these celebrities and many more. It’s not Gucci, Louis Vuitton or Burberry, it’s Ed Hardy clothing, the hottest new brand by French designer Christian Audigier. Most important, this brand actually give you the celebrity style as well as the price that you and I are affordable.


Ed Hardy clothing takes its name from the man who inspired the line, Don Ed Hardy. Hardy is considered one of the best tattoo artists in the world and in tattoo circles he is called “the godfather of modern tattoo”. His Japanese meets American style is highly original and highly sought after around the globe.


Christian Audigier, who had previously designed lines for brands such as Urban Outfitters, Diesel and Von Dutch, saw a great opportunity in Hardy’s work. He approached Hardy in 2004 with an idea for a clothing line based around his art and tattoo work. Hardy granted Audigier a license to use his work, and Ed Hardy clothing was born.


Ed Hardy clothing quickly became a sensation across the world, but nobody took to the new range more than Hollywood’s celebrity elite. Madonna wears Ed Hardy caps and t-shirts almost daily, and Britney Spears was recently filmed raiding the designer’s massive California warehouse.

Men Fashion Watch: Montblanc's Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph

For those who still regards Montblanc as pen brand which happens to make watches, this stellar roll-out is going to make them eat their words. Just kidding.

With the Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph, Montblanc now joins the ultra-elite club of watchmaking house who can lay claim to having their won in-house movement (the watch's innards that is conceived and produced entirely by the brand itself). Inspired by Nicolas Rieussec, a 19th century watchmaker who used to make watches for King Louis XIII, the elegantly appointed watch borrows its look from a pre-cursory chronograph mechanism that Rieussec himself created in 1821. On Montblanc's version, the watch is outfitted with the manual winding Calibre MB R100 that lets the users start, stop and reset the choronograph mechanism with just a single push button on the crown.
