This sounds like a nice secondary plot line for the third episode of Mob Moms

Eder is back at 54 Below for another round of sold-out shows. A couple of highlights...

Self-esteem is saying you can take the biggest cocks in an orgy Self-respect is knowing better... Well, sometimes

I gotta give mad respect to gingers who take such good care of themselves. He's looking great.

I'm not a huge fan of this tv format, but I have known about Glennis for awhile and have seen her perform live in Europe a few times. When I heard she was competing on this season, I make it a point to watch her performances. Incredible talent. I'd love to see her make a name for herself in the States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaCgnvNcq0M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0C8Y1EPS84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPd-m0Q-wZs

Every time I see this thread title, I hear 'Worst Pies in London' from Sweeney Todd. A customer! Wait! What's your rate? Are ya horny? You gave me such a... Stiff! I thought you was a bottom! Half a minute, can't ya sit? Sit ya down! Sit!

And then there's 'Gaye,' for those of us with a soft-spot for '70s R&B classics. (and yes, with a capital G)

And toners are mainly useless nowadays. They are a throwback to a time when soaps left a ton of residue.

This. 100% Like I've said before, there's a razor-thin line in this industry between someone being your biggest fan or greatest foe. With those who's MO is control through money, the moment you say no to them, their true nature begins to ooze out. The greatest lesson you can learn is not to understand or reason why, but to cut them off immediately and move forward.

My motto: Don't question the motives of assholes. Simple and effective. You guys are aces in my book (yuk, yuk). In the past, I've also reached out privately to escorts who I thought could use a little advice: Only one ever had the social grace to reply in kind. The rest ignored the message and continued down the self-destructive path. Their loss. My lesson to learn. What you're experiencing is not hate. It's envy. Let this roll off your back. You do you. And clearly, that's worked very well so far

OTC beauty creams, yes, are usually overpriced junk. However, retinoids/acids are not in that category. Staying out of the sun, not smoking and drinking plenty of water are tops for longterm skin health... And when a topical stops working as well as you want it to, things like Botox/Dysport and Juvederm/Restylane have been proven to pick up the slack.

Mandelic acids are fantastic for people who have sensitive skin and can't handle harder chemicals: https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-mandelic-acid-10pct-ha-30ml?redir=1 I'm also a huge fan of Azelaic acid. It's a nice change for when your skin gets used to AHA/BHA (and it does). https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-azelaic-acid-suspension-10pct-30ml?redir=1 @bloop: Even with oily skin, what you're describing would be considered over-cleaning/exfoliation by most derms. In doing this, you actually force your skin into producing more sebum, as your epidermis goes into fight or flight mode. Be careful as to how long you keep this current skincare routine. It might seem like it's working, but long term, it will damage your skin.

Haven't we already had the pillow discussion ad nauseam? https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/my-pillow.129851/

The best zinc oxide based SPF isn't cheap, but it also doesn't leave you with a dusty clown face either. I've tried a lot of the cheaper ones (Neutrogena, CeraVe) and they always left my skin color looking a little funny. This La Roche-Posay isn't cheap, but it blends in perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/Roche-Posay-Anthelios-Ultra-Light-Mineral-Sunscreen/dp/B007U54P36/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536813909&sr=8-3&keywords=la%2Broche%2Bposay%2Bmineral%2Bsunscreen&th=1 Bare Minerals also makes a great mineral SPF: https://www.amazon.com/bareMinerals-Mineral-Shield-Daily-Lotion/dp/B01ETSLIO0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536813975&sr=8-1&keywords=bare+minerals+prep+step+mineral+shield Dermalogica doesn't blend in quite as quickly, but it's no chopped liver: https://www.amazon.com/Dermalogica-Sensitive-Shield-Sunscreen-Lotion/dp/B007SPQA36/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536814045&sr=8-1&keywords=dermatologica+super+sensitive+shield

That's why I went the K-skincare route. But it's not 'impossible' to avoid... Like reading nutritional labels, it just takes some research and discipline. There are many other quality skincare brands that haven't been swallowed up yet: Malin & Goetz, ReVive, Aesop and- one of my favorites- The Ordinary. I still like some big company brands: SK-II (owned by P&G) continues to make great product.

Different cards serve different purposes. There are cards I have that make my traveling life a lot easier. Some come with a good points system or cash back if you're willing to navigate that jungle. Others are as simple as an incredibly low APR. If you have strong credit, you can usually negotiate with creditors for a mix of all three.

Yes, a dermatologist is a good thing, especially when it comes to more complex skin issues as we age. Most of what I am posting involves preventative care for guys who are looking for effective cleansing/moisturizing regimen. I tend to stay away from L'Oreal and Estee Lauder products, as they are well-known in the industry for buying anything decent and cheapening the original formula.

Agreed. Most new, unwashed towels and sheets have a ton of 'finishing' on them: A spray combo of urea resin and formaldehyde used to keep the fabric crisp, fresh smelling and spot-free.

The cornerstone of any K-skincare routine should start with these products: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECQCVK0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HHJV0C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CE5P580/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hada Lobo makes brilliant products at very affordable prices. http://hadalabousa.com/home/

I thought about this thread the other day when I was at an Equinox gym in London. I overheard a young(er) member complaining to the front desk about 'naked guys in the locker room.' I guess he had his skirt in a twist over the fact that some men didn't have a towel on when they were shaving at the sink or whatnot. I found it funny. I don't know what the front desk did about it, but fuck... It's a men's LOCKER ROOM.

Gracias. Much appreciate the compliment I took some time away from 15MM, but have recently redesigned the look and gotten back into writing over the last couple of months. It's been fun sharing my life again in longer form than just a twitter post.

This is the gospel truth. K-skincare is some of the best in the world and it's not expensive. It just takes some time to find the routine that works best for your skin. Added, no matter how well a topical might work, if you really want to get the job done, nothing beats DOT/Triniti laser treatments, photo facials, Botox and well-placed filler. The major problem with most people is that they don't practice preventative care: They wait until they see themselves aging and then rush to find a fix.

I mean, really... To have to suffer Manhattan living in a classic eight. Somehow, I'm sure she'll muster the willpower to move forward

Exactly correct. There's no scalpel incision, so it's considered medically non-invasive. Even when a cannula is used in cooperation with a syringe, it's still considered a non-invasive procedure. And Botox is not really expensive: It certainly doesn't have to be. $6-12 a unit is the usual spread. Anything more is highway robbery. Anything less is likely sugar water or you're fortunate enough to know the right people and are getting it at cost.
