On one hand I would love if life was like a Stars song, but on the other hand that would be a lot of drama.

Imminent adulthood approaching

Twenty seven. That's old right? I know anyone who is over 27 will tell me it isn't old.

Previously, life has always been a a bunch of "I wonder what [preferred age] will be like." I never chose 27. I've thought about 17, 21, 24, 26, 30, 32, 45, even 60 (though I'm afraid I to even live that long). I suspect it won't be much different than any other years, and yet I'll probably look back and think "Man, I used to have so much fun." Which is what I do now when looking through old photos on my Flickr. I think I'd like to find that fun again but 27 feels like the right age to start acting like an adult. I don't mean that requires me to be serious all the time but I should start knowing things about finance, investments, real estate, planning for my future (not in terms of babies) and to start dressing like a classy dame, even on my off days.

In the meantime, until Saturday, I am still 26.

Let's Hear It For The Girls

Recently I've been noticing a lot more men's fashion blogs that have piqued my interest. I keep adding more and more of them to my RSS feed. These range from well known names like Details and Valet Mag to smaller ones such as The Fashionisto and Definitive Touch. There's so much advice going around on how to "be a man" or on how to dress nice, or just etiquette in general and I think its all pretty sound advice but my question is: Where are all the blogs for ladies?

Do people think that women (young and old) don't need this kind of advice? Is the general consensus that we are we doing just fine on our own?

Of course then I think to myself "What kind of standards should be set for ladies?" and "Would I actually appreciate someone telling me how to be a lady? What if some lady was telling me to not wear short skirts? Or cross my legs at the knee?" And perhaps I am being a little outdated with these examples of advice but what if that really is the female counterpart to something like 1001 Rules For My Unborn Son?

Or possibly, and more likely, women have been given this advice for years and years in the form of Cosmo and Sassy (or whatever the hell teen girls are reading these days seeing as how Sassy died over 10 years ago). Maybe men are just now jumping on this bandwagon of fretting about what to wear and how to act. It's unfortunate that all we ladies have is Cosmo giving us advice like "Four Simple Tricks That Will Drive Him Crazy in Bed." And yeah sure, they also have crap magazines like FHM and Maxim but look at all the other great stuff they have (see above)!

I think I'm pretty sure I know the kind of person I'd like to be (inside and out) I'm open to suggestions on how to improve and I'm always interested in fashion/style pictorials. You know, what I'd really like is a blog from a male point of view, telling ladies how to keep it classy, feminine, and without necessarily being a feminist. You know of any? Let me at them.
