I began the week idolizing someone, so why not end it the same way? Continuity is my favorite. Andre Balazs was discussed on Monday, leaving Glenn O'Brien for today. Mr. O'Brien is most widely known as the "The Style Guy" in GQ Magazine, which is his monthly column that dishes out advice for the sartorially challenged readers of the magazine. The wit that Mr. O'Brien pushes out is outstandingly dry, all the while educational and wise. Having started in journalism while working for Andy Warhol at Interview Magazine, he became quite the man about town in the publishing world. His sharp tongue, strong style, and seemingly careless attitude of what 'men should do' is pretty inspiring. And he knows it. Given his strong following from GQ and its readers, he recently published a book. How to Be a Man, "a guide to style and behavior for the modern gentleman." If you're a man, and you haven't read it, I'd rethink your schedule today and peruse the insightful piece of philosophy / advise / how-to book.
