SNL Gave Much Satisfaction

Could it be? An SNL that made me laugh out loud (apologies to my co-workers who had to endure my Monday morning guffaws as I caught up on Hulu just now)

Mick Jagger, sir, I do a fancy roll of my hand and bow gesture to you and your comedic skills

"It would never in a million years be anal"   

"We can dream, can't we? "

And the return of  'Lazy Sunday' brought a whole sing-along about a planned trip to Sister Act the Musical complete with sneaky beverages

 "we take more shots in the theater than John Wilkes Booth"  - BRILLIANT !

And Dooneese finally found love with a hopeless face (and those dwarven hands) with special guest Jon Hamm-ing it up as an Italian singer 

Good for her and a special send-off for Kristen Wiig who is ready for prime time and/or the movies 

Man, that hand got a lot of play! 

While You Were Out...

Enjoying the preview Spring weather, Mr. Porter, the men's version of Net-A-Porter quietly opened for business to its "Founding Members" today

The store doesn't go "live" to the general public until Tuesday. I just took a stroll and the sneak peek is full of goodies

I fell in love with this Viktor and Rolf sweater when I saw it on the Spring 2011 Menswear runway

A tiny galaxy of stars covers this Paul Smith wonder

Lanvin's got my number with a silk carnation boutonnière pin. Need!

But what I love about Mr. Porter more than anything is all the editorial. It's overflowing with facts, tidbits and take away

Style guides including tips for a man's wardrobe and everyday dressing and timeless style icons like Marcello Mastroianni, Mick Jagger, Steve McQueen, Cristobal Balenciaga amongst others

Plus Esquire in its swinging 60's heyday like tips for being a Modern Man

There's even a whole style dictionary

(I didn't know this type of shoe is called a "Monk Strap")

And a pretty smart Q+A style advice from an assortment of fashionable fellas like Jefferson Hack, Pharrell, T Magazine Fashion Director, Bruce Pask, InStyle Editor, Ariel Foxman, etc.

With many more designers "coming soon" including Junya Watanabe, Band of Outsiders and Raf Simons, the future looks very bright indeed for Mr. Porter. I'm glad I could be here for the founding.
