André Benjamin, also known by his stage name of André 3000, is one of my favorite entertainers out there today. He's half of my one of my favorite hip hop acts, OutKast. Their hit singles include Ms. Jackson and Hey Ya!. He's also an actor, appearing in films like Be Cool and Four Brothers. André has his own clothing label called Benjamin Bixby. I'm always intrigued to see what André will be wearing. He's definitely one of my favorite style icons of today. He's one of a kind. I love his sense of style. He has so many wonderful looks. André is his own man. He doesn't try to conform to the standards of others. That's a good thing in my book. I hope you enjoy these photos of André in action. Let me know what you think.
P.S. Do you enjoy those Dos Equis commercials featuring The Most Interesting Man In The World? I know that I sure do. I did a post featuring a lot of those commercials last year on the blog. Check out that post here. There have been some more commercials since then. I wanted to post those now. I hope you enjoy them.
P.S. I had another post put up here, but the videos in it were acting up. I took it off and went with this one instead right now. I've got to check the videos in the other one. I hate it when videos disappear. I do hope you will enjoy this post here.
It's Sammy Claus again! Here are some Christmas ads that Sammy Davis Jr. did for Alka-Seltzer. I love seeing all the ads out there featuring celebs promoting all sorts of products. Sammy not only did print ads, but also television commercials for Alka-Seltzer. I'm posting a Christmas one he did. I hope you like the ads and commercial. Take Sammy's advice this holiday season if you aren't feeling so well. :-)
Have you guys seen those commercials from Dos Equis? They feature an older classy and suave gentleman dubbed "The Most Interesting Man In The World." The commercials are like 15 to 30 seconds long. They often feature clips from adventures this character's had throughout his lifetime. He also loves to give his words of wisdom as he sits around a table with lots of beautiful women. Each commercial ends with his line of "Stay Thirsty, My Friends."
I think it's neat that this ad campaign features an older man. Most beer ads are probably usually being targeted to younger guys. That's the market they are going after. Instead of featuring jocks, frat boys, etc., trying to pick up chicks at a club they feature this character who's like a cross between Ernest Hemingway, Hugh Hefner, James Bond, Ricardo Montalban, etc.
This character represents something that a lot of guys would love to aspire to. I know he's somebody I'd love to have a beer with as I pick his brain about how to live life to the fullest. He's lived more adventure in one lifetime than most people could even imagine. It's fascinating to see what we find out about his life in each new commercial.
I think it's cool to talk to older men about their lives. They've always got some great stories to share with us younger guys. They've seen a lot of the world, plus they've had experiences that many of us will never have. It's definitely a different generation. These men have this masculine ideal that I admire greatly. It's something that seems to be dying out in our era. It's certainly in short supply. These type of men are my role models and not what Hollywood says goes for a man today. I know I would much rather be like this character, as well as a lot of older men that I come across, than some twit like Orlando Bloom.
What's amazing too is that this character is not really a cheerleader for Dos Equis. He even talks about how he doesn't always drink beer, but when he does he prefers Dos Equis. He's almost very nonchalant about it all. The character is very cool and collect about things. These ads have become very popular since they first started debuting. I can definitely see why. More are on the way.
If you were curious to know, "The Most Interesting Man In The World" is played by actor Jonathan Goldsmith. He's 71 and has mostly done episodic work on television throughout the years. Dos Equis has even come up with The Most Interesting Academy. Check out their website. I'm posting some of the commercials. I hope you like them. Let me know what you think.
One of my favorite accessories is a watch. I wish I had a lot more of them than I do. There are some really nice ones out there. Here are some ads and so forth from the prestigious Swiss company Omega Watches. What do you think of these watches? What kind of watch do you wear? Checking out these ads got me wondering what type of watches Dean Martin and the other members of the Rat Pack wore. Any ideas? Let me know what you think.

I've always been a big fan of Ricardo Montalban. I've seen him in so many things over the years, such as Fantasy Island, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Colbys & the Spy Kids movies. I thought he was a very classy man in style, attitude & so much more. He was one of the men of that era that I always looked up to. I really loved all those commercials he did for Chrysler. He had such a wonderful accent. I could listen to him talk for years. I totally dug the way he said "Corinthian leather" in those commercials. Here's a picture and a commercial for the 1975 Chrysler Cordoba. I really like the music in that commercial.
I saw this commercial the other day on television. I loved it so much that I had to post in on this blog. It's Sean "Diddy" Combs advertising for Ciroc Vodka. The commercial has a Rat Pack vibe to it, including using Frank Sinatra's Come Fly With Me (one of my favorite Frankie tunes). It's a pretty cool and hip commercial. I love it. I know that Combs is a big fan of the Rat Pack, especially Sinatra. I think it's amazing that so many of the stars of today want to emulate the Rat Pack. I sure can't blame them one bit. Cheers!
I think it was the other day that I posted that picture of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra in the golf cart. I came across this commercial that Dino did for his own golf balls. I thought it was really cool and funny in parts. Not sure if any of you have seen it or not, so I decided to post it here. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think.
Here are a couple of commercials for RC Cola. The first one features Dino, Desi & Billy. The second is of Nancy Sinatra. I hope you enjoy them. Cheers!
