After the fashionably tasteful moderation of the postwar years, the second half of the 1960s saw inhibitions flying out of the window to open up the horizons of creativity

– including among designers of cuff links. In tune with the swinging London scene, eccentricity became a must. Carnaby Street dandies—with Mick Jagger at the forefront—wore velvet and brocade, and the sassiest of them all used the men’s makeup kit—kohl and lipstick—launched by Mary Quant.

Not since the 18th century had masculinity been more theatrical. Prince Raunitz, who, two hundred years earlier had been celebrated for his wasp-waisted satin corsets and would spend an hour every morning stepping through one salon after another, where footmen would throw clouds of powder of different colors into the air as he passed to create an exact nuance, would have been proud of such heirs. His modern descendants reveled in their outsized synthetic diamond cuff links in electric colors, with chain links extending right around their wrists like bracelets.

The New Moon vs Star Trek

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

The Twilight’s Saga: New Moon is sure to become another hit. Expect the teenagers to melt when they see Edward Cullen and right after watching this movie, actually, expect almost everyone to wish they were vampires. Now, that’s creepy.

And while everyone is going crazy about finding hot vampires as their boyfriends, why not be unique and shop for cufflinks instead of black capes and fake teeth?

Here at cufflinsman.com, we don’t just offer cufflinks according to your hobbies and interests, we also offer movies as cool as The New Moon and Twilight (note: girls, don’t get disappointed if we can’t offer you hot vampires as boyfriends). Although Star Trek movies didn’t have vampires in the cast, Star Trekkers still love the classics! And good news Star Trekker, you’re not the only one who loves Star Trek,

If you’re not a New Moon fan or a die hard Star Trekker collector, then we give you another choice: you can wear the Theater Cufflinks or Film Buff Cufflinks, our special collection for movie addicts like you! Now, how’s that to really consider yourself a couch potato?

Things to DO before the 2012!

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Today is 2009, so what’s with 2012? Probably some cool movie about the Mayan calendar warning us about the end of the world just like 2012

Or another stupid Family Guy character to make you laugh all day. Perhaps another award for Taylor Swift and another front act of Kanye West so Obama won’t call him some stupid name. Or maybe another nice cufflinks for you to collect from cufflinksman.com.

2012 is definitely not just another new movie, it’s also another year for you to get introduced to new cufflinks- whether they’re silver cufflinks, gold cufflinks or anything that you’ve always wanted even before 2012!

Here at cufflinksman.com, we don’t tell you about Mayan predictions, instead, we offer you cufflinks that we predict are the good choices for your own personal satisfaction. Now that’s interesting! Before 2012, start with some cute Sterling Camera Cufflinks. And no, this isn’t a real micro camera. If you’re a professional photographer, a self declared frustrated photographer or another beginner who is really into cameras, then the Camera Cufflinks will surely make you smile. Or if you want, you can also pick the Movie Director Cufflinks

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Cufflinks

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Before Harry, Hermione and Ron discovered the sorcerer’s stone owned by Nicholas Flamel, there existed the sorcerer’s cufflinks.

No, they were not hidden by Professor Dumbledore or guarded by Fluffy, the three headed dog. And stop thinking they were like another elixir of life, obviously they were not supposed to be drank. They were simply unique cufflinks (without any magical tricks).

Today, Harry Potter must have been in his defense against dark arts class, wearing Hogwarts cufflinks, still believing that the sorcerer’s cufflinks are indeed magical. Well, here at cufflinksman.com, we don’t think the world is all about magic, sometimes it’s the charm, uniqueness and your personalized cufflinks.

Yes, we say personalized in the sense that we create different cufflinks that make you who you really are. If you’re into cufflinks, who cares if they’re from a sorcerer or from another alien who wants to rule the planet?

Here are some hints: If you love Lady Gaga’s song entitled Pokerface and poker chips, then you’ll surely love our Gambling Cufflinks, featuring Ace of Spades Cufflinks,

Gambling Ace of Spades Cufflinks

Gambling Ace of Spades Cufflinks

Sterling Poker Chip Cufflinks and many more for you to enjoy wearing when you fold ‘em or hold ‘em.

And no, cufflinks are not just for poker players, they are also for artists and wannabe artists! Now, you don’t need to see a canvass or go to an art gallery to enjoy seeing paintings, with cufflinks that feature paintings of famous artists, a tomb of an Egyptian king, an artist’s palette and many more art forms, you will definitely feel artistic each time you put them on. Yes, no kidding-we do believe in every human being’s creativity.

And here’s another thing Mr. Harry Potter- we don’t just rely on magic wands to let you project an image to other people, sometimes it’s all about getting good impressions and well, cufflinks!

The Martin Luther King Jr. Stamp Cufflinks

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

To be a civil rights activist is to be Martin Luther King Jr.- either you’re talking about political leaders or merely just some cute cufflinks.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a god to every civil rights activist. And while other Luther loyalists who are close to the King Center in Atlanta are visiting his tomb, it’s a good thing to know that loyalists from all over the world can still show their support to the great leader and towards civil rights movements in their own simple (yet sweet) ways- wearing the Martin Luther King Jr. Stamp Cufflinks.

The Martin Luther Jr. Stamp Cufflinks are specially created by Cuff Links Man to promote unique cufflinks collection in its motivation to add a personalized touch to every customer’s interest, belief and character. In the case of the King Stamp cufflinks, we have one strong argument for you- sometimes you don’t need to scream in the streets to consider yourself a political activist.

So whether you take pride in fighting for what you believe is right, still have some arguments left inside your head as to why US attacked Vietnam (we knew very well that King was against the former president’s decision to send troops to Vietnam), or simply just another human being who loves to collect NBA Basketball Cufflinks, getting the chance to wear the Martin Luther King Jr. cufflinks is actually not such a bad idea after all. Long live the King!

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Cufflinks

Friday, November 13th, 2009

And while everyone is too busy staring at Megan Fox, there you are tied on a chair (We’re trying to be brutal here), being convinced why you should buy cufflinks right now. Yes, we at Cuff Links Man are trying to really scare you. *wink*

  1. Cufflinks are sweet little things that can remind you of your idealism, relationship, and interests. You don’t need to visit Egypt (if you’re from the other side of the
    Remarkable Egyptian King Tut Cufflinks

    world) just to put a smile on your face seeing the great pyramids, especially King Tutankhamen’s tomb. You can feel very Egyptian by just wearing the King Tut cufflinks. Now, how’s that to emphasize sweetness?

  2. If you’re an Elvis Presley fan or just another Elvis Presley wannabe, then you will surely enjoy putting on our Elvis Presley Stamp cufflinks.

    Our second conclusion- cufflinks remind you of your younger years when you wanted to look just like Elvis, sound like Elvis and well, be like Elvis.

  3. You need to buy cufflinks because you don’t want to look old school (sorry, what we actually mean here is that the world is over with traditional ribbons and ties). Now, cufflinks are being used to bring out the sophistication and personality in you. Another conclusion- it is not always true that the look is the only thing which defines your character, sometimes, it’s the cufflinks too!
  4. Cufflinks can give your date a hint of what your profession is. If you’re a lawyer, you can wear Legal Gravel cufflinks and right at the moment your date sees the cufflinks, she already got a piece of you.
  5. Cufflinks are cufflinks, they’re decorative, personalized and categorized for different personalities, beliefs and profession. Another convincing reason number 5: you don’t want any more reasons why you shouldn’t buy our cufflinks. Trust us, we know better. *wink*
