Return of Iverson = Return of Cornrows?

October 28, 2011 / Paul Eide

Has anyone else noticed that since Allen Iverson stepped away from the NBA for the last year and a half that cornrows have basically disappeared? Well if you missed “A.I.” and the hairdo he helped turn into a popular fad, you’ll get at least two more games to see them in action.

Iverson announced on Wednesday he will be headlining the “Las Vegas Superstar Challenge” in mid-November. The mini tournament will feature Iverson as well as an impressive list of NBA players. So in the spirit of “A.I.’s” return, here is how to give yourself cornrows.

You go, boy.

Do The Future A Favor- Tell A Child You Love About ZZ Top TODAY

October 17, 2011 / Paul Eide

If we don’t pass on the oral tradition of just how great their beards were, who will? The answer is, sadly, no one. In today’s “metrosexualized” world of “manscaping” and “ear hair removal”, a band like ZZ Top would’ve never made it onto a stage in your local town. Musical talent you say? Puffttt. In today’s “plucked eyebrow” musical universe, they would’ve been voted off “X Factor” before they made it in from the parking lot.

So please, pull a youth in your care aside tonight for an hour, and make them ingest Deguello before bed.

Billy Zane Is A Cool Dude

October 14, 2011 / Paul Eide

For an entire generation, Billy Zane made it cool to be bald again. Like a lot of men are forced to do, BZ endured a public battle with progressive baldness. Rather than cowering in the face of it and getting into a public “walk off” that he couldn’t possibly win (unlike one D. Zoolander) , BZ didn’t get sucked into the “comb over” or even the godforsaken “Spray On Hair.”

Maybe it was his defined jaw line, or chiseled facial features but Billy Zane rocked it and Hollywood embraced it.

If you’re going bald, take the Billy Zane route- he invented the “cool bald guy look.” If it weren’t for Billy Zane, there would have never been a Jason Statham.

Brown Belt With Black Shoes- Really, Sir?

October 8, 2011 / Paul Eide

On its face it looked like a normal outfit- a smart black polo, tucked neatly into an equally black pair of “Chaps” pants. But that was while he was sitting down, his outfit obscured by a well-placed table top.

Suddenly, he stood up to corral a beverage from the bar and his fashion sin became overtly obvious.

One so heinous, so egregious, a sin to outweigh all other combined it cannot be overlooked. And that sin is wearing a brown belt with black shoes. There is nothing on earth that looks more dorky, even wearing an “Alf” shirt. How old are you, sir? Old enough to know better.
