Talking about men, beauty and fashion there is a vast amount of sayings, starting with “Everything a man is more beautiful then a monkey is sheer luxury” to “men’s adornment is fine with watch, tie and sunglases”. So what? are men the not emancitpated fashion victims: no choice, no posiblities, no freedom?

Nay, if you guys out there want to celebrate your own style you don’t have to reduce yourselfes to the shorts under the jeans. There are vast possiblities from eye candy to highly functionable, stylish accessories.

Starting with your hand, what about some rings, you don’t have to start like Lagerfeld, but a single ring, might give some great expression. And you don’t have to go to the modern section for this, there are traditional male rings like signet rings, or something less known, rings with red deer teeth, traditional jewellery from the Bavarian and Austrian region.

Jewellery for men can be much more, without getting the label “girlish”. Have you ever treated yourself to some brooches? Brooches are universal, you can use them on pullovers and shirts, but as well on a jacket, briefcase or a hat. Use some non-traditional forms, like an exceptional platinated antler, you fix it to your stuff with some really strong magnets.

So you are heading to town, with your new ring, a great eye-catching brooch, but don’t you miss something? Where do you but your belongings? Stuff them in your jacket? No, there are better things: what about some great bags. If you are the messenger bag type, try something new and take a messenger bag that is a little different to the rest. Like a wonderful dog messenger bag called “Best Friend, Unforgotten”, and you might realize that this bag is a great way to get in touch with people. Communicative as owning a dog, but very practical as this rectangular felt compagnion can come to work as well as to the movies (and doenst mind it, if you forget to feed it). If you like more straight and functional designs go for a cross body felt bag. The surplus value of the bag: “emotion transparency”, take your postcard or picture of the day and add it to your fornt flap, so everyone else can see in what mood you are today.

Shirtless Male Celebrities on the Big Screen: a Hollywood Enterprise

What do 300 and Troy have in common? Aside from being considered as two of the most buzz-worthy historical/epic films that showcase the best choreographed fight scenes in the history of the big screen, these movies showcase the most profitable trump card that a film could ever use to monopolize colossal viewership and box office success—featuring shirtless male celebrities on screen.

This proved to be a good move for these films considering the millions of dollars they earned during the first few weeks of release. But then again, these films don’t just boast of godly movie star bodies and bare chests. 300 and Troy are movies that really required the actors to act, train and be in the moment of being a thespian during the whole movie. Moreover, showing off their ripped muscles and abs are a necessity to make the films realistic.

In the recent years, the trend of including shirtless male celebrities in movie scenes has been used by producers and directors to make a movie sell. Consider it as a technique to populate movie houses with female hormones. For some, it might be considered as perfectly fine, but when searching for the necessity for these scenes come into question, can producers and directors actually answer for them?

Some Hollywood film producers and moviemakers are guilty of using sex as a means to entice viewers to watch a film, and if sales and box office records are concerned, this technique is surely working to their advantage. After all, in this day and age, sex sells in real or reel life.

In a way, this can be said to be an objectification of the male form. Although, the society might believe that only the female form is a target of objectification, the reality of 21st century Hollywood has extended that construct. Depending on how far the moviemakers are willing to go to in terms of obscenity, the sphere by which objectification of Hollywood male celebrities could go further.

This phenomenon is not only limited to the big screen. TV shows have been doing such for so long. Now, TV shows like Gossip Girl are already capitalizing on their bare-chested male mainstay in the show to increase ratings. If a smart viewer watches such shows and ask for the need to showcase shirtless male celebrities on the said scene, could TV producers give a logical reply?

The reality in all these is simple: Anyone would want to see what’s hidden and everyone wants to have a taste of what’s taboo. Nudity, full or partial is no different. Whether it is the teen idol, Zac Efron, or the film hotshot, Brad Pitt, fans are willing to cough off money for movie tickets and more so if that meant seeing these stars partially naked even only on screen.

Are producers, fans, and directors already objectifying their male stars? The answer depends really on how the boundaries between Hollywood capitalism and artistry are defined.

Truth Behind Celebrity Gossips

Gossip and scandal are everywhere when it comes to stars and celebrities around the world. And no matter how much you deny that you don’t pay attention to celebrity news, how often do you find yourself joining in a hot discussion at work or around the dinner table? Keeping your eye on the stars is one way to amuse yourself and keep smiling.

Not many people can resist a bit of gossip about the celebrities that make the news. Award ceremonies are a great way to see what everyone is wearing and how bad or good they look wearing it. Watching a popular starlet stumble her way to the podium wearing an unflattering dress can lead to weeks of gossip about what not to wear when the cameras are hot and ready. Magazines are filled with the latest fashion mistakes that the stars make when they venture out into public places.

Celebrity relationships continue to baffle most of us. What makes motion picture stars such as Brad Pitt leave one relationship for another? Celebrity gossip has followed Mr. Pitt as he baffles the media with his behavior. The scandal of celebrity relationships gone wrong is always at the forefront of the news, covering the pages of serious newspapers all the way to gossip magazines that line the shelves at the grocery store.

Long before Santa came on the scene, the ancient Chinese knew all about spenders through the craft of face reading. They could look at a person’s face and tell his past, present and future, his temperament, disposition, creativity, and whether the person is, or will be, fortunate or not so fortunate. Even today, it’s still around in China and has gotten attention in psychology circles in America.

Face reading experts think the best gifts usually come from women who have big eyes and men with a big nose. So, fall in love with women with wide eyes and smile at men who get their nose into everything.

If we look at famous Hollywood celebrities, George Clooney has a strong, affirmative nose on a well-balanced face. Often such people reach high goals and are generous.

Reese Witherspoon’s nose tells that she likes to give big-time presents to all her close ones. She has a broad, nice smile. That means also she has a pleasant personality. But even though there’s a lot of sweetness in her face, you can bet your life she is a strong individual. Her face has high cheekbones and it means that she is the one who says where the dinner table stands. -No, honey, I said over there.

Of other Hollywood celebrities, Chinese face reading pinpoints Jack Nicholson as a generous man, who buys plenty of Holiday goodies for his male and female pals. Flaring nostrils suggest Jack is very emotional and might throw a tantrum at any time. The wide smile tells of a pleasing personality, but when the lips are thin, the person is disposed to say something anytime he wants to. Nicholson’s ears are good. They are long and nicely set, so he is very fortunate in most ways, according to face reading.
