2012 Lamborghini Aventador: Luxury On Speed











Whether economically sound or not, the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is beauty in motion. Sleek, lean, sexy, and dramatic, at first glance your lips seem to automatically purse to say Ooh! It also grants you a fantastic 0-60 mph acceleration figure of just 2.8 seconds and the top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h).

Breathless yet? Thought so.

A Classic Renaissance: Dolce and Gabbana 2011 RTW

Dolce and Gabbana has always epitomized Italian style. Here on the 20th anniversary, they have revisited, revised, and revitalized what they do; creating a rich and luxurious style with different textures and materials. From linen to leather, the D&G 2011 RTW collection is a Sicilian spring/summer fantasy.

It is the flawless and effortless cool that is so intriguing.

TRETORN: Sucker for Classics

Maybe I'm just a fool, but a classic is a classic, whether it's redefined or forgotten about. This was one and still is one of my favorite brands. Tretorn was hot in the early 80's and since then has been making shoes and trudging through the land of virtual obscurity, but never stopped making quality casual greatness. Here are a few of my favorites styles to reminisce about and stare at with awe.

TOUCH MY "SKIN": Multitouch technology

DISPLAX Multitouch SKIN on Black Ties Stiletto Blog DISPLAX Multitouch SKIN on Black Ties Stiletto Blog


As we have seen in movies, touch screen walls and windows are a fantasy that everyone can’t wait to come true. Well close your eyes and make a wish, because DISPLAX is delivering. DISPLAX Multitouch Technology “Skin” turns any flat surface into an interactive screen. With application uses limitless, this is not only revolutionary for industry, but pure fun for consumers. I can imagine my whole house wired with glass display panels to control everything from water temperature of my shower to my garage door.
How It Works:

DISPLAX Multitouch Technology has been developed on a transparent thinner-than-paper polymer film which can be applied to a variety of flat and curved surfaces including glass, plastic and wood.

DISPLAX Multitouch Technology works by using a grid of nanowires embedded in a thinner-than-paper polymer film. Each time a finger is placed on the screen or a user blows onto the surface, a small electrical disturbance is detected allowing the micro-processor controller to pinpoint the movement or direction of the air flow.



Multi-touch detection: DISPLAX™ Multitouch Technology detects 16 fingers simultaneously on a 50-inch screen (to increase as technology development progresses).
Air-movement detection: DISPLAX™ Multitouch Technology detects when someone blows on the surface, measuring the intensity and direction of the air flow.
Large and small: As small as 18 cm and as large as three meters across the diagonal and thinner than paper.
Transparent: DISPLAX™ Multitouch Technology is completely transparent and allows the user to see through any transparent surface it is adhered to.
Light-weight: A 50-inch screen weighs about 300 grams, making it easily transportable and easy to install.
Versatile: Can be applied to any non-conductive flat or curved surface including glass, plastic and wood less than 15 mm thick. It works in daylight or at night, indoors or outdoors, and is not affected by light conditions.
Durable: When using rear projection, the film is applied to the reverse of the surface, protecting it from scratches or other damage, with no need for contact with the material.

People are already addicted to touchscreens from phones to laptops, but this changes the rules of the game. This will not only change how consumers shop, how retail markets products, how classes are taught, but will also allow us touchscreen junkies to touch almost anything anywhere. I don't know about you, but I am definitely into "SKIN"

FASHION BRUTALITY

Men have to be men. The key is how to be manly, but in fashion. Trickey yes;Impossible no. I have chosen a few items that are stylish, in fashion, and primed to whip some mucho darriere. Fine haberdashery is a luxury that all men should have an opportunity to enjoy, even the average Joe. So for Joes out there, get your couture education while feeling the machismo. Two of my favorites:

Prada Linea Rossa Boots in Black $442



And of course, shades are a must and remember D.O.U.G. (Don't Own Ugly Glasses). So here are the sleekest and manliest peeper covers for the winter.

TO JEAN OR NOT TO JEAN: The Art of Denim

Rock and Republic Jeans at Blacktiestiletto.blogspot.com
Rock and Republic Jeans

Almost every designer at one time or another has designed a pair of jeans or many jeans. Different cuts, fits, colors, washes, ripped, not ripped, jean shorts (throw them away)and so on. Am I doomed to wear only in fashion jeans? Aren't jeans about who you are? If not they should be. Jeans are a personl style signature. The fit, the color, the wash are all personal preferences on who you want the world to see. Sure, there are times when a dark classic fit jean is appropriate (the office on dress down Friday) or ripped jeans still say I'm cool (a concert), but how about a jean that works no matter what. A pair of jeans that goes from the office, to the ballpark, to a concert, to a bar. As previously stated in most of my fashion post, I am a man or versatile things and the jean should be one of the most versatile items ion your wardrobe. Forget the latest jeans, wash, or scribble scratch written on the backpocket to get people to look at your ass, buy a pair of jeans because they fit. Fit not only your body type, but who you are. Now granted, not all the newest flashiest jeans are for show, there are some trendy jeans that honor the time old tradition of great jeans. So slip on a pair of these perfectly fit jeans from Rock and Republic, Guess, or True Religion and enjoy the denim skin your in.
