    Q: Where would I find a belt buckle like this one? http://www.magnificentbastard.com/images/bann ers/2007-07-17.jpg

    A: There is only one of those. We had it hand made by a young NYC artisan handy with pewter. This item has generated quite a bit of interest since that first site banner went live and might be worth putting into production. Stay tuned.

    Guido the Killer Pimp a Style Trainwreck

    Where else on the World Wide Web are you going to get two posts about Guido the Killer Pimp in a 2-week span? Only at magnificentbastard.com. (See earlier one.)

    Let's have a look at what's wrong with GtKP (Joe Pantoliano) at the red carpet premiere of Flawless starring Demi Moore and Michael Caine:

    1. Beret. Violation of the principle of Anglophilia. Francophilia way less cool.
    2. Multiple necklaces. Violation of principle of minimal accessorization.
    3. Tucked-in sweater. Never do this.
    4. Skull belt buckle. Skulls beyond outgoing.
    5. Cane. OK if used for actual physical ailment; never OK for affect. Doesn't really work with skull belt buckle.
    6. Multiple rings. (See multiple necklaces.)

    Q: I was curious if it was appropriate to tuck just the front part of one's shirt in his pants, thus exposing his fashionable belt buckle. It is so clearly depicted on the front page of the site. In fact, it is almost luring me towards such mentioned behavior. So I ask: Appropriate, or Toolbag-ish? That is the question.
    —The Buckler

    A: The banner photo doesn't show it, but the white shirt is fully tucked in save for that wisp to your left. It took the Magnificent Subject and Magnificent Photographer's Handlers about 20 minutes to achieve the precice amount of artful dishevelment for that photograph.

    Also pictured is Michael Bastian from the August GQ. He, too, with a fully considered amount of artful dishelvelment; and he's about the best designer going right now.

    Hope that answers your question, asshole.

    Go Native

    We killed most of them and stole their land, the least we can all do is buy their beautifully handcrafted trinkets. Unsnap those buttons, remove that "Try and Burn This One" buckle, and get in touch with the native in you, (even if there isn't one).
