Destro’s mask in the new G.I. Joe movie revealed. I like it. At this point it’s unknown whether there will be a Pimp Daddy Destro variant.

Arlo Weiner — eight-year-old son of “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner — is hands-down the best dressed boy on the planet.

Pictured above is his favorite outfit. Arlo has a penchant for pattern matching and a fairly solid grasp of color. In short: he puts me to shame.

Who watches the Watchmen while they watch Watchmen if the Watchmen could watch Watchmen?

Did this on Facebook, thought it perfect for Tumblr so I modified rule no. 5.

1. Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to “Random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5. REBLOG THE SHIT OUT IT.

Must be “Fixie Friday” at F&M, because I have another bike-related post.

Rapha — long one of the premier clothiers for hardcore British messengers — is famed for their high-end velocouture gear. Ranging from kid leather cycling gloves, limited-edition tweed softshell jackets, and even jersey collaborations with Paul Smith.

Their next project is an undertaking with bespoke tailor Timothy Everest, and is a three-piece, made-to-measure cycling suit. Everest styled the suit after cyclist Tom Simpson, an English cyclist so badass his famous last words were purported to be: “Put me back on my bike!”

Both Rapha and Everest have a keen eye for detail, and the suit has many transforming features that may make you think it was designed by Aitor Throup, such as a collar that can be turned up and buttoned and an extendable tail for cold-weather riding, and various bright orange parts that can be cuffed up or hidden when not cycling.

Due to the nature of the bespoke suit, the suit will run at $3,500, and fittings will be in Manhattan with slots for only five people. However, there are plans for a standalone blazer later on priced at $700. Or you could try the Cycle Suit from Dashing Tweeds, so don’t let go of your Tweed Run dreams quite yet.

Single-speed biking has reached a whole new level of ballerdom. Aurumania’s 24K gold-plated bicycle is swathed in 600 Swarovski crystals, what BETTER be premium leather handlebar tape and saddle, and unimpressive rubber tires.

This fixie will run you the cost of a house. Well, actually with the foreclosure crisis it’s probably worth more than a house by now… priced at a whopping $102,418.60.

A while back I read this article in which Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg recites 10 views on men’s style. I’ve rediscovered and rehashed it below:

1. Opening a conversation with “What do you do?” makes you sound like a shifty, social-climbing dickwad. Small talk is for sissies, but if you’re stuck with it, you can certainly come up with something better than that.

2. Talking about what brand you’re wearing is gay in the bad way. Just keep quiet and play dumb if someone asks. Talking about what a great deal you got on the aforementioned item is worse. If you must, tell your mom, because she has sale empathy and will take your victory as her own. It’s sick.

3. I don’t think a tie is a relic, not yet. It’s purely masculine—that one garment that allows you to go a little outside the box. A tie with a well-cut suit makes you look put-together and confident. It’s an auto-chic, easy uniform.

4. Cigarettes are a vile, dirty habit. Joints, on the other hand, are perfectly acceptable.

5. Whenever you start a new project or a new job, don’t tell anyone what you’re working on, because it can change direction a million times and once you start telling the world about it, you get constrained by your own mouth.

6. That skin-toned paste your girlfriend gave you to treat your pimple is makeup. Don’t kid yourself. You’re a girl if you use it. Figure something else out.

7. Rabid atheism does not lead to attractive or acceptable cocktail-party conversation. You know who you are and you need to chill. We get it, okay? God is for dummies. Now shut your hole.

8. It’s just not cool to fart on a plane, even if everyone’s ears are plugged from the altitude and they can’t hear where it came from. Heed my warning: Airplane-fart karma is a bitch, and you will find yourself at the receiving end on a sleepless transcontinental red-eye soon enough.

9. Style fills the gap between how you see yourself and how you want other people to see you. It is not a mysterious quality reserved for Cary Grant or Liberace. You have a sense of it in there somewhere. It’s just a matter of finding a way to express it without seeming like you’re trying.

10. Rules, as they say, are meant to be broken. Don’t get too caught up with what I—or anyone else—tell you about your personal style, except for No. 8.

Kaz aka PWRFL Power is in town for a few days before he plays New York. Right now he’s playing a house show in my neighborhood. Next Tuesday he returns to DC to play at Velvet Lounge.
