I'll be preparing for my new job in a couple of days and what a coincidence! Someone who happens to blog about neckties just sent me an email and what an awesome blog he has! Entitled Tiepedia, Matt wrote a lot of good stuff about neckties - some extremely funny, some definitely worth thinking about and almost all of his posts are worth taking a good look.

Here's one particular post I love, turning neckties into weapons!

Here's another one about 'Geeky' neckties. One of his latest posts put the spotlight on father's day... Can you imagine necktie cakes!

Megamodel Tyson Ballou once said in an exclusive interview with Modelwatch that acting is certainly a career worth pursuing since he's into modeling already. There have been a good number of male models who made it big on the silver screen. I just watched a couple of days ago the supposedly contest between Ashton Kutcher and Josh Duhamel and you know that already!

In this video entitled Rearview Mirror, Ballou polishes his 'acting style'...

I was looking forward to a more subdued acting, in the way of Jon Kortajarena in Tom Ford's 'A Single Man' but seeing Mr. Ballou in some sizzling scenes is more than good enough for me. I guess certain filmmakers want him bare and sexy.... No problem there of course!

The video is directed by Sharif Hamza.

Oh and yes, I'm reminded of the lyrics by Pearl Jam featuring a song of the same title and part of the lyrics goes like this:

once you, were in my...
rearview mirror...
i gather speed from you fucking with me
once and for all i'm far away
i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...
saw things so much clearer

What do you know!?!? Top male model Michael Gandolfi solidifies his ranking as one of the hottest male models of all time! His latest modeling gig happens to be a prime slot for Strellson and he's hot! Says NEXT Models, his agency:

Michael Gandolfi is the face for Strellson´s # 1 Fragrance, shot in NYC. Starring also in the new tv spot and print campaign Spring/Summer 2010 for the Strellson Premium collection.

It was during my interview with top male model Gabriel Hill that I was introduced to Paris-based Bananas Model management. The topnotch agency is home to some of the most successful male models on the planet and together with Success Models, they made the Paris male modeling scene the hottest ever. Of course, agencies in Milan and New York would disagree with me...

Anyway, Bananas has a new face- Floris Van Velsen and I think he got quite an interesting look....
