Metro-Metro-Man

Metro-Metro-Man, He wants to Be–’A Metro-Man…’
Just when I was thinking that David Beckham was an anomaly, enter the world of yet another chorus of ‘Dude Looks Like a Lady.’

Now, I like a well groomed guy as well as the next gal. (Not that there aren’t a few times in life when the ungroomed is well, just FINE) Still, the thought of watching my husband put on his mascara in the morning may be just a bit too progressive for me.

Okay, IF he’s an Anchorman, Clown, Actor, Model….well, you would expect a drawer of some cosmetic bounty, but hey…..what if Mr. Yumyumcherry was a Doctor, Lawyer (we’ll leave out Indian Chief since technically he could indeed don ‘War Paint’). This could all be just a tad too precious. Yeah, I’m being sexist again.

We did warn you with our Harrod’s discovery of the Man Pen by Gaultier. Still, with Clinque sporting a line dedicated to the pursuit of male vanity, the rest can’t be far behind (at least if the Lauder company has anything to say about it).

I don’t want to spoil the party, but all those silicone gel bra inserts….well, they could be modified and on the horizon faster than I can type: ‘Gild the Lily…’ Whats a girl to do?

Theo Fennell

Theo Fennell seems to be a bit of a mystery to the American ‘Bling’ Blogs (love, just LOVE the way that sounds)—-His upscale fare of fine jewelry is beautifully crafted and has the price points to prove it. Offered only through Vivre.com (to my knowledge—but do show me the way if I’m missing the bus here….) and on the theofennell.com website, the selections range from his signature “Key” paves, “Horn” paves, and charms that are adorned thematic hearts.

A charm by Theo Fennell

I own the skull/crossbone (ode to Goth) black diamond pave, but really wanted the ruby horned heart. I have heard that it’s best if you wear that one carefully since, as a horny little devil, it will rip through your $20 a pop plus Wolford tights and don’t even THINK about the havoc it would do to that delicate Lainey knit. Still, tempting.

Oxygene, Bal Harbour

What if Lucien Pellat Finet and Mohammed Al Fayed had a child? Well, while it would make the National Enquirer cover, it still probably couldn’t become a British Subject. That said, Harrods’ famed owner does have a daughter –Jasmine de Milo– who has scored a MAJOR collaboration with cashmere guru, LPF to churn out her own signature line.

While we did spy her special room at Daddy’s store in London three months ago, you can view the even better EDIT of her collection at Oxygene, Bal Harbour. Felix and Shayne Cohen own and operate the Boutique–they offer some of the most eclectic fare in North America.

Shayne’s past life (not in the totally spiritual sense here, kiddos) with Louis Vuitton has honed her eye for the Best Buy this side of Alchemist (Roma Cohen’s UBER TRENDY ENTERPRISE temporarily at 1604 Washington Ave., Miami).
