A Seabass's stream of consciousness.
Bootée, Design, Steampunk, Graphics, Typography, Photography, Paintings, Interiors, Architecture, Music, Motorcycles, Cars, fashion, and places, all that inspire me.
This is not a sensible space nor really trying to be, instead its the continuous, extreme and ridiculous contradictions of my mind.
Imagery of objectified women, rants against hypocritical "greeness", fetishist imagery of gas guzzling devices, feminist porn, modernist graphic design, and obsessive interiors.
A pattern lust affair!

The suckiest thing about being a Man who likes to dress well is that you risk looking like a Wanker.
In fact I can say with assurance that this is the case. In the US dressing well with get you identified as an “asshole”, “a fag” (not my word), or more consistently “an uppity wanna be”.
Even so, the dandy in me says fuck you to all the lazy mother fuckers who for the past 4 decades have reduced male style to 3 options:
- “giant boy in tennies”
- “metrosexual/dandy/gay”
- “asshole guido business douche”.
I want to say clearly and loudly, fuck you, useless baby boomers who felt that hats where too formal, traditional and reactionary; who feel that baseball caps are acceptable head gear for men past the age of 15.
Fuck the lazy tards, who believe(d) that putting on a nice suit, and looking like a suave finely dressed man is too much work.
fuck em.
Even in the poorest hood of the poorest town of Haiti; the sketchiest corner of Kinshasa/Dakar/Yaoundé/Cape Town; the smallest town in India; men try their hardest to look and dress with an assurance and style reflecting their self worth.
Some pushing it to the bionic extreme, such as “Les Sapeur”* in Africa and the Caribbean.
Sadly the homogenization of style that has been occurring with the domination of hip-hop “culture” since the 80s has also made its mark the world over.
Baggie droopy, and otherwise unflattering jeans dominate the male ‘fashion’, with T-shirts, hoodies, construction worker boots, basketball shoes, and baseball caps further destroying any hope of a real revival of style around the world.
What can you do?
Well I for one call bullshit.
I don’t mind becoming even more of a dandy as I grow older, because in the end only you decide how to present yourself to the world.
Here are some western men, in western clothing, the super wanker metrosexual dandies for you.
Not all are greatly attired necessarily, but all have elements of goodness and fine style, and have at least TRIED! 
*I am working on a post on the ‘Sapeur’ very excited about them.

Fashion Styling. Check out her other books… pretty nice work
The head image just kills me. That car is BEAUTIFUL… seriously I believe its a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 180… DANG! such Romance… I could make a very sepia French Drama in those woods with that car, grey skies, Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteil and rain…you know call it “Brown, Grey, and gold” in homage to Krzysztof Kieślowski.
In other news, insanely anorexic looking model… blharg.
