Recent earthquakes keep firemen on their toes

In the span of 24 hours, there were two sizable earthquakes in the United States. First, there was one in southern Colorado that shook the ground in throughout Denver and surrounding cities. Then, to the surprise of many, an earthquake happened in Virginia. While earthquakes are quite common in California and other western states, many people were shocked by the fact that there was an earthquake on the east coast. But it’s not the first time that there was an earthquake in the great state of Virginia. The last one happened over a century ago. Does that mean that more earthquakes are on their way in the next couple of days? No one knows for sure, but that is exactly the reason why so many firemen on their toes. Firemen are brave individuals, because they rush into dangerous situations without thinking of their own safety. Their primary goal is to help others. Firemen don’t sit in a cushy office all day, wearing a fancy tie and shiny pair of cufflinks.

They sit waiting for the call to action, which requires a great deal of courage. But firemen have to get dressed up now and again, especially for formal affairs and award ceremonies. If you are a fireman or you have a friend who is a fireman, why not purchase a pair of firemen cufflinks? We have a few pairs of Firemen Department Cufflinks for you to choose from, including these classic Fireman Insignia Cufflinks. We only wish we could say they were fireproof.

Oprah’s 7 Favorite Things

So we didn’t make the cut for “Oprah’s Favorite Things” this year, but we’re hoping to make it next year! Her “favorite things” are not reserved for women, but branch out to men as well. And what she says is good is basically golden. Here are our Top 7 favorites of Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2010 that we think you’ll love:

Sony BRAVIA LX900 HDTV with 3D and Blu-ray player, $3,600

1. Sony BRAVIA LX900 HDTV with 3D and Blu-ray player, $3,600

Every man wants a large, flat screen, HDTV for Christmas. So go ahead and splurge! If it’s not this brand new Sony 3D TV, that is a bit pricier than most out there, you can find a lot on sale during the Christmas season.

And with a sleek TV, you need some sleek designer cufflinks:

2. Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera, $699.95

Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera, $699.95

I have been doing photography for over 10 years and the only equipment I use is Nikon; so I was ecstatic to see that this new SLR made Oprah’s list. Nikon’s cameras are built to last, they are the most durable, and normally affordable. Especially if you’re an amateur photographer or just beginning to switch over to digital, this camera is the way to go.

Accessories to go with your new equipment? We’ve got you covered:

Sterling Camera Cufflinks

“It’s the device Oprah calls ‘the ultimate camera from the ultimate camera-makers.’ The Nikon D3100 has all the bells and whistles a camera pro would want—including hi-def video—but it can also be a simple point-and-shoot. ‘May I say,’ Oprah says, ‘it is one sexy camera.’”

3. Nike “Free Run+” Shoes, $85

Nike "Free Run+" Shoes, $85

And every man needs a nice pair of running shoes. Nike just came out with a new free-running footwear series, designed as a training tool to mimic the foot’s natural motion. It supposedly delivers extra cushioning, traction, and protection from elements, so says Ms. O.

Sterling Silver Running Shoes Cufflinks

From Oprah.com: “More than 35 years of research in the Nike Sport Research Lab, combined with feedback from elite athletes, have helped Nike to develop the Free technology, which strengthens the muscles of your feet—ultimately leading to a more efficient workout. ‘It’s the next best thing to being barefoot,’ Oprah says. ‘It weighs next to nothing.’”

4. Kyocera Ceramic Cutlery Set by Ming Knives, $74.99

Kyocera Ceramic Cutlery Set by Ming Knives, $74.99

Now, now, before you skip out of this page because we are featuring cooking utensils, wait just a minute. This new-wave knife deserves a little attention here, and secretly, we know all men love cooking knifes. You are the ones carving the turkeys, chickens, and cutting your juicy steak into succulent morsels, so maybe you should consider getting a new knife. These are made from ceramic, are ultra-sharp, rust-free, and are great gifts if you don’t want to keep it for yourself.

Oprah got one of these knives as a gift from the famous chef Ming Tsai, and now she says it’s become the only knife she uses in the kitchen.

5. Elfa Customizable Closet System from the Container Store

Elfa Customizable Closet System from the Container Store

CLOSET SPACE! This is not a womanly dilemna, everyone needs organizational help! It’s a fact! Listen to us! You spend all this money on suits, ties, shirts, shoes, and accessories (like cufflinks) and where do you store them? Think about it: are they easy to get to? Can you look at your wardrobe and pick everything out without going through piles of stuff? These organizers are a great way to transform your clutter into a simple, organized array.

Mahogany Cufflinks Collectors Case, $149

Shelving always helps to– you should have a distinct shelf for separate items, such as ties, shoes, and accessories. Sort your closet according to “type,” meaning suit jackets in one section, collared shirts in another, casual shirts in another, etc. This will automatically help you pick out your clothes in the morning without the extra hassle. The key is, to be able to see everything and know where it is.

From O.com: “The elfa closet system completely customizable, but the Container Store also has designers ready online, in-store or by phone to help you design the closet of your dreams.”

6. Breville Panini Press, $100

Breville Panini Press, $100

Ahhh food! Paninis!

From the O: “This is a staple at my house,” Oprah says of the Breville Panini Press. Whether she’s using it to grill or making Stedman her original Love Sandwich, it’s clear Oprah loves this classic favorite thing. “I have personally bought 22 of these as gifts for other people,” she says.

Salt and Pepper Shaker Cufflinks

7. Beecher’s “World’s Best” Mac ‘N’ Cheese

Beecher's "World's Best" Mac 'N' Cheese

So this mac ‘n’ cheese is $29 a pop, which isn’t cheap for a single dish, but possibly worth it. For all your single men (or married!) out there who crave a good meal but rarely get it, the convenience and homemade aged cheese makes this worth the price. It comes shipped to you frozen, so all you have to do is toss it in the oven. And it’s the “World’s Best”! Mmm….we love our comfort food, especially around the holidays.

And lastly, we LOVE these “cheesy” cufflinks that can go with two of Oprah’s favorite items:

Say Cheese Cufflinks

We all know that Oprah is the most powerful woman in the world; and on top of that she seems to be a pretty stellar lady. Men adore her, even when they don’t want to admit it, and she shows them love too. Hope you like our favorite Oprah’s favorites, mingled with some of our own favorites. Stay tuned…

Lindsay Lohan Buys Cufflinks After Rehab

…..Or maybe those were handcuffs we were thinking of? But after a five week stint in rehab at the Betty Ford Center, Ms. Lohan did go on a shopping excursion in California, where she was possibly looking to revamp her look. We hope she will incorporate a more professional, sophisticated style into her wardrobe, and one that might include cufflinks.

But although Lindsay has been court ordered to stay in the rehab center until Jan. 3rd, 2011, she seems to be keeping herself busy with a new handbag line. Or at least we hope so. After failing her court-ordered drug test in September, she was sentenced to spend some serious time detoxing and getting her life together. So Justice was served this time, but will it happen again?

Sterling Legal Gavel Cufflinks

While she is in rehab, she will be working on a series of handbags for her 6126 company, according to Radar Online. Designer Paz Shakked, who has also designed for Dolce & Gabbana in the past, signed up to be Lohan’s Design Director, and she says that “everything is approved by Lindsay.” Welcome to Hollywood folks, where designers realize their dreams and further their ambitions within the comfortable walls of rehab:

Hollywood Sign Cufflinks

So when she finally puts in her time, gets clean, and gets her professional life back in order, (which we’re hoping she does), hopefully we’ll see a healthier side of this young actress and designer. Everyone can blame the paparazzi, her family, the media, blah blah blah, for her decline to a drug addict, jail bird–but essentially it all falls on her. It’s her life and no one else can take the blame for its turmoil.

….But just in case she does fall back into the same seedy scene of her pre-rehab life, we’re recommending to her these Red Panic Button Cufflinks once she’s back in the “real world.”

Panic Button Cufflinks

Even if she doesn’t need to use them herself, at least it will let others know to watch out for her potentially crazy, sober antics. And also because you never know when one might need a panic button…
