Style Icons, Part II: Tom Waits and Al Pacino

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

1. Style Icon Number 1: Tom Waits

Known for his raspy, deep voice, which has been described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding “like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car,” Tom Waits is an iconic singer, actor, and composer. He always plays these seedy, shady characters in films such as “Down By Law” and Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” but is also known for his immense cult following:

Tom has been a trend setter for years, especially for Brooklyn Hipsters, with his cigarettes, whiskey, old beaten hats, and worn suit jackets. He is experimental in both his music and his fashion choices. Waits recorded Small Change (1976), which is more lyrically cynical and pessimistic than his previous albums, l with many songs such as “The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) (An Evening With Pete King)” and “Bad Liver and a Broken Heart (In Lowell)”.

In response to the heavy drinking that ensued while making the album Small Change, Waits said that he “tried to resolve a few things as far as this cocktail lounge, maudlin, crying-in-your-beer image that I have. There ain’t nothin’ funny about a drunk [...] I was really starting to believe that there was something amusing and wonderfully American about being a drunk. I ended up telling myself to cut that shit out.”

Style Icon Number 2: Al Pachino

Al is best known for his horrifying role in Scarface as Tony Montana and Micheal Corleone in The Godfather Trilogy. He showed a much softer side in Frankie and Johnny, alongside his former co-star in Scarface, the beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer. Throughout the years, we’ve seen Pacino evolve as an actor, taking on the best of roles and giving it his all. Trained as a Method Actor, under the guidance of the famed Lee Strasberg, Pacino developed a passionate intensity in just about every role he played.

A native New Yorker, Pacino dropped out of school at 17, and took on a series of mundane jobs in order to pay for his acting classes. At the Actor’s Studio, Pacino studied method acting, which is a phrase that loosely refers to a family of techniques by which actors try to create in themselves the thoughts and emotions of their characters in an effort to develop lifelike performances.

Director Francis Ford Coppola took a risk in casting the relatively unknown Pacino in The Godfather, yet Pacino’s acting earned him an Academy Award Nomination, which he boycotted because of his anger at being labeled a “Supporting Actor.”

So “Say hello to my little friend…” with these Pistol Cufflinks:

Throughout all of his films, the man has a certain simple, yet poignant style that we all secretly admire. Women love him and men want to be him. He has played those dominant character types that men around the world wanted to imitate, and they loyally re-played their favorite scenes on VCRs at home, reenacting many famous lines and scenes.

Michael Corleone, and his transformation

The fascination with the mafia/mob world had become exponential after Pacino’s performances. He brought the underworld and grime of Mafia life out in the open, added a touch of sophistication and swagger; namely he glamorized the life of a mobster- something no one else could do.

The Name is Bond…James Bond

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

For all you 007 lovers out there, we have some good news: a new James Bond film is to be released by MGM around November 2012. Yes, it is a little while from now, but you can start dressing the part early. Maybe the film will bring back some of that old Hollywood class, unlike the travesty we call Hollywood today.

So what did happen to the grandeur, the romanticism, and the spectacle of the old Hollywood? Did the paparazzi contribute to its decline? Was it all the prescription drugs? Instead of sticking to alcohol and demur trips to the restroom, stars have gone excessively off the deep end with drug addiction and partying. Their risque photos are splashed everywhere, showing everything from crotch shots to sweaty pole dancing. Now we’re not condemning partying, but really, can’t celebrities just keep their cool? Like stay out of jail and rehab at least (insert a strung out photo of poor, rich Lindsay Lohan here)?

Actually, we WILL insert a strung out photo of Lindsay here, just to show an example of what not to look like:

Enough with the demise of Hollywood. Like we said earlier, things are looking up for Mr. Bond and hopefully the new film won’t disappoint. So with Mr. James Bond, classic Hollywood stars, and high class celebrities in mind, we have some cufflinks for you:

And for any Top Secret missions you may be taking anytime in the near future, you may want to bring along these little gadgets, because you never know when you’ll need a microchip handy. Although, we don’t actually recommend you trying to install these cufflinks into your PC, I-Phone, or use them to hack into some government agency computer system… because, alas, they are just for show:

And we’ll end this post with something classy, simple, and representative of “old Hollywood glamor” we so dearly miss:

….Because you can never go wrong with a classic pair of Silver Knot Cufflinks. And while Hollywood is getting its drug addiction, scandals, and fashion mishaps together, we’ll still be here bringing you the good stuff.

We predict that a classier comeback will be made in Hollywood soon and people will get tired of the strung out stars we see on the tube (but we’re not fortune tellers or anything, so please don’t contact us about predicting whether your chihuahua will recover from surgery or not). The point is, put down your “Star” magazine and follow us weekly..
