Pardon me while I put on my film cap…. Okay, I’m ready. 30 For 30 is slowly becoming some of the best content on television and by the looks of the trailer this will be yet another riveting documentary from ESPN Films. One Night in Vegas is the latest installment of the series.

Directed by Reggie Bythewood, The doc will explore that fateful night in Vegas, which inevitably changed so much, for so many. Interestingly enough Tyson and Shakur were friends and the camera could not find two more captivating subjects to capture The short will debut tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. I don’t know about you but even at 40 plus and out of shape, Iron Mike still looks about two seconds from opening a can on somebody.

The film could not have had two more interesting subjects to capture.

As a neo-traditionalist and dandy myself, John’s style is certainly noteworthy in my book. Tailored suits and shirts, properly executed handkerchiefs and tie knotting, are signatures of a Smugger gentleman.

Stay tuned for much more BLACKLISTED event coverage from us in the near future. Until next time, keep it SMUG.

Location: Washington, DC

Party Review: 4 ½ stars out of 5. Beautiful people, flowing drinks, with a grown & sexy vibe.

For the average Smugger the barbershop is considered holy ground. It’s more than just a place to get your haircut, it is a cultural cornerstone in which you can overhear anything from current events, sports talk, relationship advice, and religious debate. Your haircut is the most essential part of your wardrobe– Let me be the first to tell you that no piece of clothing can compare to a fresh edge up. It transforms your presentation from ashy to classy.

Several females have explained to me how fresh men haircuts make them wanna get naked– yes, naked. I can speak for my own head and say my demeanor is considerably changed when my head is attended to. We all know how hard it is to find a good barber, and to the barber’s defense, there are a lot of grapefruit, oblong, boiled egg, cul-de-sac hairline rockin, Greg Oden wrinkle-head-havin dudes out there.

Which reminds me, I was recently running late for a meeting and had to go to a foreign barber. For the record, going to random barbershops is Chapter 1 in the “Haircut Horror Steps” handbook. Needless to say, the foreign barber pushed my joint back further than Lupe’s third album.

In closing, a fresh outfit begins with a fresh cut, and don’t pick random barbershops.

Journalist Jean-Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren used DNA to trace 39 of the Nazi leader’s relatives earlier this year, the Daily Mail said.

The relatives included an Austrian farmer, indentified only as a cousin named “Norbert H,” the Daily Mail reported.

I know that your girl has been pressin you to the theaters to see this so called “Man Candy” flick (I have a funny feeling I am really going to regret that line later) however, we here at Smugger have some other incentives. Being the stylish, debonaire young men that we are, we saw it as irresponsible to not show some love to the fashion choices of the honorary Smuggers of the film Takers. The film boasts an all-star cast which warrants nothing less than the most top notch threads. Long time MTV writer/personality Shaheem Reid caught up with T.I. and Idris Elba to talk Takers & Fashion.

When discussing the fashion of the film Mr. Elba had this to say:

“How a man dresses is how you start to create this character”

touche, touche.

T.I. added:

“There were some things that were suggested that weren’t me. There were other things that faced adverse opinion at first, but after dialogue and compromise, I saw that it came out and worked best for the character’s presentation for the screen.”
