I would learn to drive if you bought me an M1
To say I'm not into cars would be a lie. I am. I love them but not for the same reasons as most car lovers. I don't give a shit about top speed and miles per gallon. It's all just statistical bollocks. All I really care about is; how good it looks and how much it costs.
Now, I cannot drive. I have no intention on learning to drive. I believe that driving is for drivers and I have chosen a different profession. However, there are a small number of cars that I would learn to drive simply to justify the purchase of them. The BMW M1 was never on that list.
Look at it, in it's original form it is as far from sexy as one can be...

I wouldn't even put on a pair of driving gloves for either of those versions. The latest version however does a very good job in redeeming the M1 name. So much so that I would gleefully part with any amount of money if it meant I could just be seen in this car talk less of actually driving it. It's called the M1 Homage. It stays true to the original style of the M1 but as you will see it exudes sex appeal from every curve and corner.

Another Glamorous Man
I have made an unbelievable discovery. I am not the only Glamorous Man left in existence. The numbers of my people are no longer dwindling. Recently I have come across a number of them all over the world. The American ambassador of Glamorous men to my knowledge has go to be Fonzworth Bentley.
Fonzworth is a hip hop artist, but is best know for being the personal assistant to Mr Sean "Diddy" Combs. He also has a reality t.v program on MTV called "From G's To Gents"
which features 14 gangsters who are willing to change their lives and become fully fledged gentlemen (a concept that I support 100%).
Mr Bentley in my books helps to epitomize The Glamorous Man with his very unique sartorial flare. It impresses me even more that I am praising the style of an American man. Everybody knows that Americans don't dress well without some sort of European influence however Mr Bentley seems to have struck stylistic gold.
American men should take note of this man's style.
"He's got it goin on"

The Hip-Hop Crown Jewels Auction
A few months back I was lucky enough to attend Swarovskis' Runway Rocks event which was absolutely amazing. Now, when I walked into the venue I was so overwhelmed with excitement that I didn't even pay any attention to the small glass cabinet that was by the stairs. It was only after the show (and a substantial amount of alcohol) when I was on my way out, I realized that this cabinet contained a selection of some of hip-hops' finest Jewels. The sexy lady behind the cabinet kindly informed me that these beauties were going to be up for auction at the Philips de Pury gallery in New York. She began telling me about the whole event and how it will feature around 50 pieces worn by the likes of 50 Cent, MC Lyte, Kanye West, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Biz Markie, Missy Elliot, Notorious B.I.G, and so on and so on. She also mentioned that Pharrells' multicolored pave diamond Gucci link necklace was going to be included in the auction (which would explain why when I interview and shot him for the September issue of SUPERSUPER he wasn't wearing it). I nearly burst into tears. It was all just a little too much for my drunken mind to handle. So I stumbled outside and lit a cigarette.
Here are some pictures.
Hip-Hops' Crown Jewels
This headphones pendant Belonged to Biz Markie
I believe this watch belonged to Notorious B.I.G
This is Missy Elliot's ring
This is the ring that brought me to tears. It belonged to the late great Tupac Shakur.
Now onto the serious business. The lady that I was speaking with also mentioned that Lil' Jon's "Crunk Ain't Dead" necklace would be featuring in the auction too.
However, what that bitch failed to mention, and I am quite upset that she didn't is that this was going to be up for grabs as well...
Yeah that's right!
It's Slick Rick's diamond encrusted eye patch. If it where mine I would wear it every single day for the rest of my life. What burns me the most isn't only the fact that I cannot at present afford this masterpiece but the fact that whoever buys it probably wont even wear it.
I think I'm ready to die now. Just give me a cigarette and a glass of elderflower and gin.
p.s
A portion of proceeds from the sale will benefit Russell Simmons' Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, the Hip Hop Summit Action Network and the Diamond Empowerment Fund.

Thank Lord Jeezy for Air Yeezy
Praise be, finally some official imagery of the long awaited Air Yeezy's.
For those of you that don't know, they are the trainers that the king Kanye West has been wearing on his Glow In The Dark tour.
They feature the slanted high top and waxed laces.
Also the sole and the tick glow in the dark, that's what really matters here.
