Bond’s New Coat, Google’s Levis, & Nadal’s $775,000 watch

GOSLING’S SCORPION:

(thank you)

THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE: You can not make this stuff up.

THIS IS NOT GOOD: “I looked at the people that I was working with and said, you know, ‘this is very disconcerting, this is depressing.'” Yes, and then some.

LIVING ON THE EDGE? Or just living large? I’ve always been a Rafa fan but I can only wonder what would happen if this humble accessory took a full frontal hit? Meanwhile, am I the only one who has a problem with this guy’s on court patterns?  Editor’s Note: Shorts appear to be cut from a Van Halen Best-Of.

BECAUSE OF COURSE: When you go out of your way to be sneaky about something, people are going to have problems with that. 

DAMN NATURE, UR SCARY: The deadly beautiful edition

This little beastie, the blue-ringed octopus, is just 5 to 8 inches long. It is also one of the most venomous species on the planet. There is no anti venom for its bite. If you find yourself in a coral reef in the Pacific Rim between Japan and Australia (of course), you have been warned. But it sure is adorable.

PLASMA: It’s not just something you sell down at the lab anymore. This is pretty remarkable, all things considered

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE: And I totally approve. Applause.

THE BLATTER FOLLIES: This has been a terrific source for the latest on the planet’s biggest villain. Also, what a difference a week makes, huh?

CUE THE MUSIC!

 (thank you)

THE LATEST IN WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY: Damn, those are some smart pants. Also, I won’t be partaking. I’m hard enough on my dumb trousers.

THE MORE YOU KNOW: For those of you, like myself, who never seemed to get this stuff. IT’S NOT OUR FAULT!

WAIT, WHAT? This is, uh, unexpected. As Dappered Reader Max B. points out: “The guy who made a fortune selling terrible, boxy suits now atones for his sins by creating a tailoring service.” 

EXCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THIS GUY: The closest thing to misheard lyrics in the world of everyday language. I live for this stuff.

CASUAL NONCHALANCE, WITH ACCESSORIES:

(Thank you)

Then again, this is probably a better example of casual elegance. True story. I had the chance to meet him once. Absolute gentlemen.

HERE! Hold my pants!

AND WE WILL RIDE INTO VALHALLA: Something tells me this stuff is going to be popular this Halloween.

INCOMING! (Thanks to Eric H for another great submission).

And speaking of style, Pharrell was feted in the Big Apple this week.
