Kings Of Leon Make Flannel Fashionable {Luxist}
Nov 4th 2009 9:31AM Actually, what I think they have successfully done here is blurred the line between irony and fashion. Do they think they look good? Or do they think they look like tools and they are making fun of people who think that they look good? It's impossible to tell!
...which will of course cause all the hipsters to convulse from the meta-irony of the situation.
I'm buying popcorn.
Acura Goes After its Own Niche with New Direction {Luxist}
Nov 3rd 2009 5:15PM I think Acura gets it right. Not everyone chooses a car based purely on how much horsepower it has. My TL-S has a very respectable 286 bhp, the front-wheel drive means it handles much better than the others in the wet and ice, and the pure hi-tech luxuries rival cars costing $20K more. I am one of those car shoppers who is very excited to see what Acura comes up with next, and I'll gladly wait a couple of years, since I enjoy my current ride so much!
Piano Buying 101 {Luxist}
Sep 21st 2009 11:03AM I would pay top dollar for a piano that, if anyone tried to play any Billy Joel upon it, would slam the lid closed on the players fingers.
Your move, piano manufacturers.

Rules for Visiting a Cigar Lounge {Luxist}
Apr 2nd 2009 12:02PM Mark wrote: "Honestly, why is the cigar crowd so stiff and, well, prickish? I've been smoking cigars for most of my life and I still dread visiting the cigar shop. For the record, I do none of the things mentioned. I try to get in and out with as little interaction as possible.
Both the staff and patrons are, in fact, pricks. The typical customer is as you describe... ignorant, obnoxious, and boastful. It's like a used car salesmen convention. The employees are, apparently, those who stuck around long enough without taking a hint."
Thank you very much for this observation. This has been my experience as well.
And while I respect the author's "rules", I think it makes it abundantly clear to me that a cigar lounge is nowhere that I want to be. I'll enjoy my smokes at home without all the snobbery and the hyper-inflated costs and fees, thank you very much.
