Spring Essential for Men: Boat Shoes

Spring Essential for Men: Boat Shoes

One of my Twitter friends complained that I don’t feature enough items for men on my blog so I’m going to start posting more things iDig for men. With Spring right around the corner men need to add “Boat Shoes” to their spring essentials list. I know some guys might be opposed to boat shoes by thinking they are for old, rich men, that vacation on yachts but bright, splashy colors bring a new vibe to the traditonal brown boat shoe.

Artistic or Asinine: Lindsay Lohan depicts the crucifix

Artistic or Asinine? Lindsay Lohan depicts the crucifix

Lindsay Lohan did a photo for the cover of French fashion magazine-Purple Fashion for their summer issue where she wears a crown of thorns, draped in a white plunging robe, and has her arms are stretched out in a crucifix-like position, obviously depicting Jesus Christ. The shot was taken by Gucci photographer Terry Richardson.

I have strong opinions but I try to keep them to myself so they don’t come off as judgemental but seriously what are these people thinking? Why would you depict yourself like this? What message is she trying to send? What purpose does this serve? Some would think this photograph is disrespectful. I agree with this thinking. What is artistic about the death of Christ? NOTHING in my opinion. I live for what Christ died for me to have! As a Christian his death, burial and resurrection is what my entire belief system is based on. I don’t take it lightly and neither should other Christians. People of the world are constantly furthering satan’s agenda with no opposition from Christians. I’m absolutely disgusted!

His Kick Fix: Gucci Moccasin

Gucci isn’t taking no for an answer when it comes to their new men’s moccasin. This model is definitely an eye stealer. The brown lining of the GG-plus signature fabric makes these a must have for the can have. The level of detail will surprise you. Get to your Gucci dealer while they last. Remember, for best fit size down one from the American size.

Fakes are never in Fashion

Fakes Are Never In Fashion!

I came across an interesting article about counterfeit goods including designer handbags made by luxury retail brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada. The MSN writer is raising awareness and exposing counterfeit goods from knock off hand bags to medicines, shampoos, laundry detergents, semiconductors, computer equipment and even airplane parts! I knew the fake handbags were getting out of control but I wasn’t aware of the huge impact on the economy. According to Bazaar publisher Valerie Salembier, “750,000 jobs are lost to counterfeiting” and it has “close ties to organized crime”

Here are some interesting stats:

$600 Billion
Estimated annual sales in counterfeit products worldwide

$512 Billion
Global sales lost to counterfeit goods

$250 Billion
Annual loss to American companies from intellectual property theft

$20 Billion
Estimated loss to American companies from counterfeit products

$1 Billion
Estimated annual loss in New York City tax revenues due to counterfeiting

750,000
Number of jobs lost due to intellectual property theft in the United States

10%
Estimated percentage of fakes among all goods produced worldwide every year

Besides the “bootleggers” we see on the corners, the author notes that “More people are using the Internet as a global marketplace — because of that, there is more access to counterfeit goods”
