Fashion Fray:The Blokes want to be like Bullitt (Nice Try!)

While I was doing my daily gander of Just Jared I couldn't help but notice all the guys (read:two) who were sporting cardigans. And not any of that fine-knit Mr.Rogers shit but full-on chunky Grandpa cardigans! Which leads me conclude that Sir Daniel and Sir Ed must be trying to channel their inner Steve McQueen via knitwear. Mr Craig even manages to pair his cardigan with a blue shirt just like McQueen. I guess those blue-eyed boys can never pass up a chance to bring out their eyes. For those who want to be supremely learned (which really is anyone who has stumbled upon my little piece of the blogsphere) please note that this is not the first time Sir Daniel has looked to McQueen for Style Inspiration.
Did you really think Daniel was the first to sport blue short shorts?!
*Thomas Crown vs. Blonde Bond*

BTW:We have Thomas Crown Affair ('68-Jason!) & Bullitt Costume Designer Theadora Van Runkle to eternally thank for putting together some eternally hot ensembles. Oh and she did the Beret, Trench, & Knit smorgasbord that is Bonnie & Clyde. The woman is the Darkchild of 60's costume design-a criminally underrated genius!

On a related Men-in-Knitwear note: I know that I'm not the only one that got lightheaded when Eric Mabius was wearing a cardigan on this week's Ugly Betty. If I didn't love the magnificently brilliant dialogue I would totally just mute it and enjoy Mr.Mabius's valuable contribution to our world silently.

I have joined the world of the Living!!! [Hi-Def Edition]

I gave into a moment of temptation and bought a Blu-Ray player. And by temptation I mean that Future Shop had a Free IRON MAN Blu-Ray w/Purchase promo going on. Damn Clinique has made me a slave to the Gift with Purchase! Well getting to see Robert Downey Jr. in 1080P glory is definitely a Gift in it of itself. 





BONUS: I also picked up BULLITT. What can I say? I can't pass up a fantastic classic remastered. Plus you never pass up eternal hottie Steve McQueen. Ms.Sheryl wouldn't stand for it!
