A toast to Tinseltown

Since the film industry was first established, Hollywood has been raising a glass onscreen and using libations to give its characters more, well, character. One example: the legendary James Bond, who famously favored vodka martinis.

Just how unforgettable are Tinseltown’s whistle-wetters? Very—so much so that authors Will Francis and Stacey Marsh have chronicled the most indelible in a brand-new book, Cocktails of the Movies. Dubbed “an illustrated guide to cinematic mixology,” it features more than 60 drinks that were featured on the big screen, giving the cinematic scoop on each (along with, of course, a recipe).

Men’s fashion myths debunked

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Probably not so much. With style, as in most things in life, change is inevitable. To borrow from author Tom Collins in his concisely poignant business book, The Language of Excellence, “If it ain’t broke, it’s in the process of breaking.”

While many men were taught certain fashion “rules” while coming of age, many of those guidelines have become a little dated. These days, it’s perfectly fine—in fact, it’s encouraged—to advance beyond them. Read on as we dispel some common fashion myths.
