Who's the Bosses? Jason Sudeikis/Bullett Magazine volume III

We shot funnyman Jason Sudeikis, for Volume III of the Ultra-hip Bullett magazine in a brooklyn loft. What was really in that glass Jason?

Take it to the MATTE, Ratchet up your sunglass game!!!

If you all haven’t felt it...that thermometer is creeping up faster than Prince William’s hairline. The time is now to get some eye-gear smoother than 007 in a European whip.

For all of you guys feeling the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer’s, it’s time to quit it.  Hipsters and preppy regurgitated Kanye West-ies too. Now, now lady...relax, I'm just breakin’ your balls...your Style Superhero has your back, with a solution guaranteed to keep you fresh.

This summer the matte black angular look is killin’ it.  True this look has been around for a minute, but I feel that it is just now hitting its stride. Like when you got your first pair of Skids or Z. Cavaricci's. (Did he really just take it back that far?)

Here is a pair from Electric, the self-titled  “Visual Evolution Company.”  I own a pair of these, they come in many colors shapes and sizes and won’t jack you for all your lunch money like tha’ Gooch. (As mentioned before the matte black version is crushing it all day!)

Or buy'em from 3 Monkeys eyewear on spring st., and get this guy to hold on to them for you!

You can also get some sweet angular looks from Super. Super's are handmade in Italy, and can be scooped online from websites such as eyegoodies.com.  They have a great selection and a grip of color options.

Many of the new Oliver Peoples glasses deserve honorable mention, yet I feel that rad sunglasses are something you can always get a better deal for, ESPECIALLY when a mean pair of well-fitting vintage joints can take out any comp on the streets, any day. 

ALL of my favorite sunglasses have either been vintage from Screaming Mimi’s on Lafayette St., or an extremely fair priced pair of Spitfires from places like Flying A on Spring St.

I have also had great vintage eyewear success from Alphabets East Village location on Avenue A.  They stock a bunch on really cool knick-knacks, hats, and tees, and for those who love the rich and musky scent of Votivo candles...yes, they have those too.

While perusing the L.E.S., I discovered Any Old Iron on Orchard St.  It was here that I heard the urban legend of a man with the greatest vintage sunglass stash in all of the Empire state. It seems that this man supplies most of the vintage sunglasses in NYC, and has a collection which numbers well into the thousands. Trust that when I find this Bigfoot of rad-ness past, I will tell all, for sure.

In the meantime Any Old Iron also has a solid vintage sunglass selection amongst its British rock menswear and haberdashery, in addition to super cool accessories from local artists...just watch out for the attack dog!

Stay tuned. More Summer style intel coming soon.

It's YOUR fault! Take CONTROL of your life, MASTER your BODY!

I was lucky enough to hang and train with a Duke Garone, Independent Strength and Conditioning Specialist, head of Real Fitness NYC, and all around bad-ass.

I can honestly say, it was one of the best ass-kickings I have ever had.

This is what Duke, (who has a brother named Ceasar,) had to say about working out, radical self-honesty and above all, taking responsibility for your own actions!

The following is an article written by Duke Garone of Real Fitness NYC
Duke: 

"It's your fault! Whatever your current fitness level is, its your fault.

I know that sounds like a negative statement but it's not. If you felt it was negative thats an automatic indicator that you are not happy with your current fitness level. What are you doing about it?

Most will answer, "I go to the gym." Here's my response, "So what!" I go to the movies that doesn't make me an actor. What do you do at the gym? Even bigger than that, What do you do outside the gym?

As a personal trainer I train clients two times sometimes three times a week. Our sessions are never less than an hour sometimes more. That leaves 22-23 hours left in the day. Let's say, for arguments sake, you actually sleep 8 hours a night, that leaves...where's my calculator that's 14-15 hours left!

Here are some of the excuses i hear from that 14-15 hour time span:

1. I didn't have time to eat.

2. I had a work function so I had to drink.

3. I'm at work at 7am but I can't eat before 11.

The list goes on and on. So again I say, whatever your current fitness level is, it's your fault. Are you looking to shed pounds? What's your daily caloric intake? What's your daily breakdown of proteins, carbs, and fats? If you don't know the answer to these questions than your on the wrong track.

This doesn't mean that you have to know everything. I don't know how to fly a plane so I pay a pilot to do it for me. Hire a qualified fitness professional to guide you in the right direction. With that said, pay attention to what's required of you so that you learn how to make better food choices.

Your current fitness level IS your fault and when you say that to an athlete they say damn right and give you a high five. Take control of your fitness by taking accountability for your fitness.

For questions, comments, and to schedule a session (if you dare!), Duke can be reached at 

realfitnessnyc@gmail.com.

To say that I got a good workout in is a severe understatement. I have also seen Duke teach classes, and have the ENTIRE class, one at a time, use him as a punching bag...LITERALLY!  

At the end of the day, we want to spend time with people who inspire, motivate and help cultivate our best selves. A Real Fitness NYC workout with Duke will def push you to your limits...and then a bit further.
