Porma Fridays: Adam Saaks

I always thought that fashion is not a manly thing but after I saw Adam Saaks on Hay!Men!, I realized that fashion is a good opportunity for us men to show our "creativity". Cutting t-shirts should be added to the list of important things that should be taught in school like tying a cherry stem with your tongue. But then again, would you rather be called "circumciser of T-shirts" than "doctor", "engineer", or "lawyer"?

Music Fridays: Eminem - Recovery

They say the measure of a man's toughness is when he is able to muster up enough strength to get up on 'eight' after falling down 'seven.' That's exactly what Eminem came to prove with his latest offering. His 7th studio album, aptly titled "Recovery," was released worldwide more than a month ago, but has never left the Billboard top spot since then. Want proof? Since its release, the album has sold 1.5 million copies. Mind you, in the US alone.

Despite recurring appearances before courts, and being the subject of several controversies and the object of Mariah's (dis)affection, Eminem is able to rise above it all - and able to come up on top. In Recovery, the Slim Shady shares his most emotional sentiments to date with song titles such as "Won't Back Down," "Going Through Changes," and "Cold Wind Blows."

Listen to "Love the Way You Lie"

The album's current single, "Love the Way You Lie," which features an unlikely collabo with Rihanna, is currently dominating charts international and local alike.

Porma Fridays: Darth Vader Armor

Who, in his right mind, wouldn’t want to wear a Darth Vader Armor?

The Vader Armor comes in different shapes and sizes. Costume makers make different sizes of armors for adults, children, babies and even dogs. Also, different molds are used especially for the mask since the armors differ slightly in each Star Wars Film. The most authentic looking armors are molded from the molds Lucas Studios originally used for the film.

The armor includes the mask, jumpsuit, cape, collar, shoulder guards, codpiece, chest piece, belt, shin guards, gloves, and gauntlets. Buystarwarscostumes.com sells an official licensed adult Darth Vader armor for $794.00.

There are some things you have to consider before buying the costume. First, you have to consider the size of the armor. Sellers usually provide the measurements of the armor pieces. You might still have to do some customizations after buying, such as trimming the pieces, to make the armor fit perfectly to your built. Second to consider is how comfortable the costume is. Some jumpsuits are made of leather which might be too hot depending on where you are going to use the costume. You also have to ask the seller if there is a zipper in the crotch.

The 501st Legion is a group of Star Wars costume owners who can help you in buying and custom-fitting your Vader armor. They also make appearances in events and have members in 40 countries. You can visit them here.

After buying and customizing your Darth Vader armor, it is now time to party your way to the Dark Side...

Porma Fridays: Investments for Men

A friend of ours asked if we would be kind enough to try and sell his belt online, at first I wondered, why would anyone want to buy a belt!? Then I realized that with all the fashion accessories out there, there really isn't much for men to invest into. You can't really imagine a guy wearing diamond earrings, necklaces and bracelets right? So what can men really buy? What can we boast about especially with what we are wearing?

The answer? Belts and Shoes.

Truth is, most tops look the same though color schemes may be different, at the end of the day they're just mostly stripes, checkered or plain. However, what stands out more with what men wear are the shoes that are obviously very different for every occasion, and the belt with that buckle that just stuns them all.

Here are some pictures if your interested.

Louis Vuitton Initiales Damier Graphite Belt

Length: 38in /95cm

Original Price: Php 24,200.00

Asking Price: Php 22,000.00

Guys if your still wondering, it's the real deal. It's just lame to sell a knock-out like that online and placing so much effort. Our friend is selling it much cheaper and it's never been used, the blue sticker is even attached to protect the buckle! If you have money to spare i suggest you get it, its cheaper than diamonds yet it gives the same prestige.

If anyone is interested just leave your contact details and we'll forward it to the seller. :)

Porma Fridays Music Post!

Oh those crazy kids going all nuts on their synthesizers and mash up songs. But really now, its getting old. Lets turn to something more timeless shall we?

Nothing is rawer and manlier than an entire album created with disdain, egotism and of course, bros. Dre. Dre's album The Chronic garnered rave reviews all drooling over Dre's flow, smooth sampling, impossibly cool bass and emotional umph during its 1992 release making it immortal.

Not only does it match up almost perfectly with every work out session you may ever have but it also doubes as a melodized version of the bro code preaching about hos, bros and beyond. (check the songs "B*****s ain't s**t" and "F**k wit Dre day")

Now most if not all of us wont be able to experience what it is to be a hardcore gangstah *tear* but we can all relate to Dr Dre rapping on behalf of men everywhere. Peace

Porma Fridays : School Bags

It's back to school for most of us and everyone is showing off whatever new they have for the new school year. Amazingly, even the men have joined in sporting different well known brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Burberry just to name a few. For us men, rule of thumb is, bags have to be functional. If they fit at least an A4 size paper and whatever stuff you need to bring then great. But if you can have that and a little something extra, then why not! Here are a few that have been seen around campus lately.

1. Gucci Cost: Php: 45,720.00

2. Burberry Cost: Php: 36,285.00

3. LV Daniel MM Cost: Php 29,025.00
