Tilda givin’ a little twist in Another by Craig McDean.

1. Tilda Swinton

One of the most striking women in film, on the red carpet and in fashion spreads, look no further for Swinton’s editorial excellence than this month’s W.

Now, I have never considered myself a gentleman — usually a lady, more often a tramp — but in reading Ford’s “5 easy lessons on how to be a modern gentleman” for An0ther Magazine,  I realized that I’ll probably never be a gentleman. Not because I’m sartorially challenged, but mostly because I’m kind of an asshole.

1. You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.

Okay, I can support this first rule. I don’t actually respect anyone, though —  I just enjoy my version of self being noticeably better than everyone else’s.

2. A gentleman today has to work. People who do not work are so boring and are usually bored. You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

I’m a Fashion Blogger, which I guess one could consider work. Sure, this “work” usually involves making snarky commentary on fashion, drinking at press events and keeping one step ahead of the feds, but, hey…it pays the bills.

3. Manners are very important and actually knowing when things are appropriate. I always open doors for women, I carry their coat, I make sure that they’re walking on the inside of the street. Stand up when people arrive at and leave the dinner table.

I mean, fuck that. I’m all for being polite and shit, but only to the point where it doesn’t inconvenience me in any way, shape or form. At the end of the day, though, Good Samaritan Laws exist for people like me — who’d sooner chew off their own arm then offer someone a seat on the subway.

4. Don’t be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.

Yeah, okay, then why work in fashion? Next!

5. A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.

Okay, I can definitely agree on the flip-flops, but I dare you to find me wearing a hem that falls below my upper thigh come early June. These gams are meant for public consumption, thank you. I do, however, completely object to board shorts, baggy jean shorts or any short that could be mistaken for pants.

I guess being a gentleman is more than just dressing the part and perhaps we can all take a page out of Tom Ford’s book of etiquette. But that would involve constantly striving to be a better person and I am just suh-WAMPED these days. I’ll consider opening doors for women but unless they intend to tip me…I do not hold coats.

I’m finally making the switch to an Apple iPhone this December, and while I intended to snag one of those awesome cork cases, I think I’m going to show Gareth Pugh some support and invest in one of his iPhone or Macbook cases from Colette and AnOther Magazine. They’re not cheap, setting you back just over $100, but hey, it’s Pugh people, he’s incredible.

Thanks Refinery 29!

Love how dark this is, they both look amazing!

Ever since I thought I saw Kate Bosworth with crimped hair, I’ve been thinking about the 80′s doo. The look requires a bit of dedication since a chemical crimping can leave your hair crimppled (crimp+crippled) for quite sometime, but with the right cut, the look can totally be an updated classic worth your attention.

Check out the images here from the recent Uma issue of Another Magazine. The models crimp and styling make the look seem ready for a ’08 redux.
