Ladies, meet Michael, a 25 year New Yorker who works in bond sales. His grooming habits consists of a cold beer, head massage and a hair cut. Sounds like this guy likes to be pampered as much as he likes to party.

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

Well, not medicine. Pretty simple stuff… Old Spice shaving cream & deodorant, Listerine, hair gel. I also have two colognes: Burberry Brit and Chrome Azzaro. I get next to no compliments when I wear the Brit, but Chrome has attracted any and all types of women from friends to randoms to even college professors. It’s great.

What product can’t you live without and why?

That’s pretty easy. Gel would be tough, but if a guy didn’t have shaving cream we’d all look pretty dirty. Except for my friends that are still growing peach fuzz.

Cosmetic Surgery Report and Rant

Ever think about what you’d look like with a smaller nose, more defined cheek bones or plumper lips? How about thinner thighs? Yea, you thought of that… who hasn’t?

Despite the downfall in the economy, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that the demand for plastic surgery procedures in 2009 only fell 2% with liposuction and rhinoplasty being the top two. It seems no matter what the cost, people are willing to put their money where they believe their imperfections are. As a matter of fact, Americans spent over $10.5 billion on cosmetic surgery procedures throughout the year.

Tom Ford Says Pucker Up for A Price

Tom Ford collaborated with Estee Lauder in creating Private Blend Lip Color launching in June. Yes, the colors are rich and seem to be velvety smooth, but the cost of one tube seems to be absurd! They’re a whopping $45 each!

“This is my take on 12 classic lip colors,” Ford remarks. “I took the most universally flattering shades a woman could wear and then reimagined them in a modern and authoritative way.”

Jerseylicious? Another Reality Lie

I received a startling phone call this morning from a long time friend, Liz, who I haven’t spoken to in a few years. Excited to catch up, I was disturbed when she began ranting on the reason she called. No, she wasn’t angry at me, but the fact that the hair salon her and I went to all through high school together and partially in college is being portrayed as pure Jersey trash on E! in the new show Jerseylicious.

The salon, The Gatsby in Green Brook, NJ is portrayed to have Snookie-esque, Manolo wearing stylists with a Staten Island attitude. Since when? ”I went there a year ago and not one person looked like that,” stated my friend Liz. ”My stylist is on the show and has completely revamped her look from a mom with red hair to some sort of MILF, it’s ridiculous.”
