Lenny Kravitz for The Block Magazine

Caribbean-Jewish Lenny Kravitz is one of MY sexiest men alive. He is super talented and always looks delicious! He always looks crazy comfortable in everything he wears and everything he wear seems labeless and THAT'S a style icon to me! Beside, no one can wears a nose ring, nipple piercings, a man-purse, skin tight wet-shirt or even a dress and heeled boots with more masculinity than Lenny! Can you believe he is 47 years old?

20 years of Christian Louboutin

20 beautiful years of Christian Louboutin

The French shoemaker famous for his red-soled shoes is releasing a book dedicated to his most fantastical designs of the last 20 years. It would make a great coffee table book for any shoe lovers! 

The Christian Louboutin company came into existence in the year of 1992 and his first store was opened in Paris.. mais bien sûr! All of his boutiques are different, but all designed and decorated by Christian Louboutin himself.

The shoes on this page are some of my favorite that would look pretty fantastical in my closet! I think his shoes have a magic power that can make people happy. ❤

Did you know that his famous red soles were inspired by an employee's nail polish?

Here is some of Bryan's biker photography:


I have always wanted a motorcycle.. but went I was younger I wanted a chopper!! I get that passion from my dad. I love that amazing feeling of freedom and "rebelliousness" when you are on a bike!! It's like flying!

Did you know that the word chopper actually come from the post World War 2 era? Yep, In order to make their motorcycle go faster, service mans remove/chop unnecessary parts of their motorcycle. Then they added a longer fork and higher handlebars. Best of all.. custom choppers always have incredible bad ass art work!

When I was 17, I did art work on motorcycle helmets using airbrush and paint. My airbrush pen was a gift from this great tattoo artist from Quebec. He like my paintings and he made me premise that I would never stop doing art. He thought me a lot and he inspired me to always wanna create and to follow my dreams. Few weeks later, I moved from Quebec City to Toronto and I was calling "Jim Davis/Garfield" office asking them if I could work for him! :)
