How would Dolce & Gabbana design a building? That is exactly what they are doing in Milan with the Metropol Theater. The historic Milanese Theater, built in the 1940's, is being completely rennovated and redesigned in a way that only D&G can do it. In addition to events for the fashion house, the Metropol will have plenty of space to host a whole array of chic venues.
Naturally, this project is distinguished by the sophisticated architectural fusion that is the hallmark of all Dolce & Gabbana projects: sleek lines and volumes, "Mediterranean" materials like basaltina stone and black opaline glass, exquisite finishes and detailing, and refined interiors.
The focal point of the space is an enormous room with approximately 1000 square metres of floor space and dramatic 15-metre-high arches, with a surprising new balcony made of black glass. Reception areas fan out from the room to offer the public maximum comfort and leisure. On the basement level are the support and service areas, equipped to ensure the building's smooth operation.

 We've all been there. You're all about to enjoy a couple of pints of Guinness, and the heavy responsibility falls on you to pour perfectly. What are you going to do? It's not like you have a chilled keg in the basement, or an Irish maid girl to fall back on.
You could pull out your Guinness pouring spoon, but that would'nt be very cutting edge now would it.
No, you pull out the Guinness Surger. This handy device has just been introduced stateside and is essential to saving face. Simply plug it in, add a little water, pour the Guinness slowly into the glass, place on the Surger and hit the "Surge" button. Sounds simple enough right? Click on the link to find out what the dark creamy beer a Surger is.

 The classic gray suit is nothing short of a style must. It has never gone out of style, it will always be in style and without one you have no style.
Whether it's dark or light, it looks good with almost everything and can be worn in all situations. No secret agent should be without at least one in his lead lined closet. And fortunately for us the gray suit is back in style.
Never before have there been so many options for adding one to your wardrobe. There are a virtually an unlimited number of combinations of cut, style, color and fabrics. And while they are all gray there is something that will appeal to all.
I have pulled from a number of sites the best gray suits in our opinion. Make sure to hit all the links for the full array of styles.

.jpg) Just for fun I thought I'd post the trailer for "On her majesty's secret service (1969) which featured George Lazenby. It's in interesting trailer which shows all the action and really trys to sell the "new" Bond. But poor old Lazenby was trailing Sean Connery in 1967's "You only live twice" and was doomed to only one film. He did a good job, but was just not Connery. Enjoy...

According to news reports from London, Daniel Craig gets to pick his own Bond girls. Looks like he is closer to being Bond then we thought. He lives it! Because the new Bond movie (22) is to be set in Panama, he is limited to Latin American girls.
A source revealed that the actor had rooted for Eva Green in 'Casino Royale', and bosses are now giving him the chance to pick his leading ladies once again. "Daniel campaigned for Eva Green to do Casino Royale and is having a similar input in the casting of the next film," the Daily Mail quoted the source, as saying. The source added that the new movie, as yet titled 'Bond 22' will have not one, not two but four women. Congratulations Mr. Craig.
The insider also revealed that Craig was having a bit of a hard time choosing between all those ladies coming in for screen tests."There'll be four girls, and Daniel is having a hard time choosing between those screen testing," the source said.
The new Bond movie is set to hit big screens the world over next year.

According to the BBC the cold war mystery of who killed British spy Lionel "Buster" Crabb has supposedly been solved. Crabb, the inspiration for Flemings James Bond, was spying on a warship carrying Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev 51 years ago, when he went missing. His headless body later washed up to shore months later.
According to reports that sound like something out of a 007 novel, Russian sailor Eduard Koltsov says he cut the Briton's throat while he was trying to place an underwater mine under Khrushchevs ship in Portsmouth Harbour. He says he swam up, slit his throat and let the body drift away with the tide. Mr Kolstov, who was 23 at the time, said that he was ordered to investigate suspicious activity around the cruiser Ordzhonikidze, which had brought President Khrushchev and Prime Minister Bulganin for meetings with the British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden and his ministers.
Crabb is believed actually to have been positioning a listening device, not a mine. His remaining family reacted with amazement to the claim, while officials in Moscow and London remained silent.
