Justin + Jimmy
Fashion editorials are often characterized by dim lighting, odd camera angles, and expressionless models posed in unnatural positions.  However, the December GQ editorial featuring Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon is the antithesis of all that. Below are my favorite photos from the shoot, which was photographed by Peggy Sirota. Aren’t these photos hilarious? Good job,...

Colorful Doors. Check ‘em: There’s no easier way to make your home stand out. Well, I guess you could put a few flamingos in the yard. But that’s just tacky.

Is that...?

Vino On The Go
I’ve been known to carry wine in my purse. Seriously. (I tend to carry large purses.) I mean, if I’m going to a party, I’ll use a wine gift bag. But if I’m heading over to a friend’s house for movie night, I just stuff the vino in my purse. Convenience, people. So I laughed out loud when I saw this: The Baggy Winecoat (what an awful name) is designed to hold...
