Marilyn Manson is the latest musician tapped by mega fashion brand Saint Laurent to star in their newest ad. Creative Director Hedi Slimane chose Manson to star in the brand’s newest menswear campaign. Slimane seems to have an obsession with selecting edgy singers from the ‘90s to front his ads...
The eerie ad is comprised of a close-up shot of Manson featuring the singer in thick eyeliner, black lipstick and a shiny leather jacket. Goth-grunge is hot right now...
Although a bit surprising seeing Manson star in a fashion ad, his sinister look perfectly accentuates the French fashion line’s dark and neo-grunge aesthetic...
All that white pancake makeup must be caking up in the crevices.
I read a Rolling Stone article once and the interviewer did it at, like, 4 am. Manson was snorting coke the whole time which he/she wrote about in real time.

I understand where you are coming from.
I was abused (slapped in the face repeatedly) in Catholic school. I held resentment into my later years but finally forgave those who did it, and I reminded myself that Jesus didn’t hurt me, they did.
I know there are parents who are overly zealous in their teachings of the Lord and it is a very sad thing. It is my hope, and my prayer that these children when older will come to a reasoning on their own that Jesus is love and mercy, not abuse (Insert Carries mother here). These parents are going to answer to the Lord for what they are doing.
My prayers are with them. I’m glad you came back to church. God bless.
Paul Bosch once did a tv commercial for a jewelry store in which he wore a pair of earrings. He turned his head and said "if they make my ears look this good, think of what they'll do for hers!"
But the jeweler certainly wasn't trying to start a trend.
Industrial freeper, well I think that’s swell. I’m still listening to Chris and Cosey and Einsturzende Neubauten.
That's funny, because I like what Jim Thirwell/Foetus/Clint Ruin did with old Loony Tunes cartoon sounds.

And here's JG Thirwell's "What's in my bag" (no really, that's NOT mine!) clip from Amoeba Records.

I had one Armani suit too, and it looked terribly good, but it wasn’t tailored properly, and bulged a little at the shoulders so I looked like a hit man or some kind of goof.
Also, I like a suit that looks good with less-than-$500 shoes. Maybe it’s a preppie thing or lawyer thing but “J. Press” is the king in this regard. One wants a suit that looks elegant with Bass loafers. There are no better materials or cuts than J Press aside from custom jobs, and I have a couple now that I am not so poor as I was in college.
Some of the women on this thread might say that men who talk about great suits are fruity in some way but in fact men too care about their appearance, and looking good for women.... Not that we can always afford the best clothes but we keep them clean and pressed, and once in awhile spring for a custom tailored suit.
I suppose that in the end I never understood why looking like a dirty screwed-up greaseball was sexy or fashionable. Sexy to me was “I am clean, I try, I am not perfect but I have a career, I care about quality, I am in love with you, I will always try to please you, I will take care of our children, and you, in spades.”
Now - to have fine articles MADE IN THE USA again, off the rack, is the challenge.
This Manson fashion crap doesn’t last and I guess I want the girls to know it, in order to benefit men like my son who I hope will always dress carefully and respectfully - and with flair too!
Since I am currently poor and in college, I’ve replaced nice suits with muscle. Does that count?
I grew up in S. Dakota. Sears was about the finest fashion store we could find. I knew NOTHING about clothing, and everything I owned was mostly polyester. Then I moved to Texas and was exposed to how affluent gentlemen dressed.
I felt as if I was naked. I’d be invited to a private home, for a party. I would go to Sears and buy a brand new suit, shoes and shirt; a shave and a shower - and I felt awful. You could see from across the room that my clothes were inferior, and I had no idea as to why (I’m an engineer, not very artistically gifted at all).
I had a neighbor in my apartment complex who could wear a pair of Levi jeans and a white shirt - and he always looked extremely neat. We were friends, so I asked him his secret. He was flattered to be asked, as a good friend is when asked for help. He took me to the mall and showed me what broadcloth, pinpoint and other cotton materials were, and why they cost more.
He then bestowed upon me the greatest gift a nerd ever got. I don’t know if this book is in print, or has been updated in the past 35 years - but there is a book put out by a Psychologist called “Dress for Success”. You do NOT have to drop thousands of dollars to look good, this books explains the how’s, and why’s of how a Gentleman should dress for both business, and for personal use. It was a gift that I keep to this day, and a gift I have shared with my younger brothers.
The book I’m referring to was written by John T Molloy and hasn’t apparently been updated since 1986. It’s NOT cheap, perhaps you can find it cheaper than here. The reason I liked it, was because it was not a sales ad for Polo, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hillfiger or other name fashion designers. It had to do with the cut, texture, color and how psychological profiles across demographics can be used to your advantage.
See thread #31
I promise you, my FRiend; you will be amazed at how sharp you can look - on a tight college budget - if you take the time to check this book out at your college library.
This man did a psychological analysis on people of different cultures, different economic strata and different geographic locations across the USA - and came to some very surprising conclusions. There is a reason why Apple has their reps dress the way they do. There is a reason why your business attire should never be mixed with your personal attire. Some colors you should never wear, some ties you can only wear in certain localities. All kinds of faux pas that you can let the “other guy” make. Men are very lucky - largely, what was in style for men 50 years ago, is largely in style today. It’s simply a matter of knowing what you are doing - and this lesson isn’t taught in school.
Like "Republican," perhaps.
Thanks, I’ll check out the link.
I actually have one very nice suit that my mother’s boss bought me for interviews. The store was a habberdashery in West Chester, PA...custom tailored. It’s my interview, funeral, and wedding suit. :)
Every gentleman needs 1 such suit.
Your mother’s Boss did you a fine service. He sounds like a gentleman of class. There are several great deals to be had, if you look around. There are steals to be found at Consignment shops; where businessmen have put on weight (it comes with age and family life) and a new suit no longer fits. I’ve seen $750 new suits (with tags) that have been altered, but never worn; on sale for $100.
Might I suggest, if it’s not too late; to get an extra set of pants. Typically, you will snag your pants, or just through normal wear and tear, the pants will wear out before the jacket. If you can purchase 2 sets of pants, and alternate them; you can effectively “double” the life of your suit.
I lived in Texas; and for whatever reason, Texans appreciate the Dry Cleaner industry. You can have ALL of your clothes dry cleaned, professionally pressed and returned to you on hangers for ~$25/week. One of the things that indicates “neatness” is crisp, clean lines. A light starch in your Levi’s with a white starched shirt will get a very positive reaction. Chances are you already own both - just invest $5 on date night, and that will make a much larger return than a $200 dinner. The crisp lines make a statement about YOU. The meal is just a statement about your willingness to outlay cash. Women always love a sharp dressed man, trust me.
Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it. The odd thing...I ruin is shoes. I scuff the crap out of my toes with the heel of my shoe. I’m not pigeon toed, but I ruin a shoe’s toes fast. I went through 3 dress shoes in the USAF, and I almost never wore them.
Like "America".
I confess that I would like to see Rammstein in concert.
