CLASSIC VIDEOS: Hot for Teacher by Van Halen
If you’re old enough to remember watching this video, you will probably get brought back to a time when MTV played videos and when you thought David Lee Roth was pretty cool.
Well, he was pretty cool around the time this video came out.
As someone from VH1’s Greatest Hard Rock Songs of All Time said, “It’s [...]
FEATURE: XS Nightclub at the Encore hotel, Las Vegas
Okay so I have been to my share of nightclubs in Las Vegas, but I think XS Nightclub at the Encore Hotel takes the cake. In fact, the moment we stepped into the club, we were wondering why the hell we had never been there before.
From the moment you step into the hotel to the [...]
CLASSIC MOVIES: Ninja Assassin
What’s the best way to spend your Thanksgiving? With ninjas.
That’s what we did this afternoon before the feasting festivities associated with today’s national holiday. Ninja Assassin is 1 part Casino Royale, 2 parts Bourne Identity, 1 part Matrix, 2 shots of 300 and lot of gore and violence.
No really – you can pretty much see [...]

I’m not sure how to feel about Erica Hosseini. She’s smoking hot and a great surfer. A really great surfer. Good enough than most guys and for sure better than me.
She’s a professional surfer, 5′10″, has blonde hair, is sponsored by Sector 9, G-Shock and Jack’s Surfboards and even has her own show. Quite the underachiever.
Now that [...]
ADVICE: Time isn’t money

FASHION: The fitted dress shirt
Do you want to know what the male equivalent of a muffin top is? It’s when guys wear dress shirts that aren’t fitted. The shirt starts off tucked in and looking good, but after a day of standing up and sitting down – bam – male muffin top.
Non-fitted dress shirts are also the best way [...]

If you’re ever in downtown San Francisco and looking for a 50’s ultra-lux chic bar that throws eco-friendly out the window, you should definitely check out the Redwood Room at the Clift Hotel (495 Geary Street, San Francisco, CA 94102. 415-929-2372.)
Originally built in 1934, this historic room underwent a massive $50 million restoration from the [...]
BLAME IT ON THE…: Liquid Cocaine

The first time I ever tried liquid cocaine was at a local bar – after I just did a Patron shot and an Irish Car Bomb. Needless to say, whatever I was trying to do that night worked.
Based on chow.com, the ingredients are potent despite going down so smoothly. (Or was it smooth because I [...]
THE REMAKE: “John” from Los Angeles

“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster.”
I hate the term “makeover”. It’s been overused, overplayed and something I would rather not use for ESM. Instead, we will use [...]
