Examining Custom Suits & Professional Attire

Lately, whenever I get a new product or place to try out. My immediate thought is: what would Don Draper do? Would he drink this/wear this/go here? It just happens, I can not help myself. Thus, all my product reviews include Don’s opinion.

Bisha – Hotel & Residences

Suddenly, I am a secret spy – please call me: agent J. I received a black envelope with a black velvet pouch containing a USB key. It was a little dramatic to say the least, yet hard not to get wrapped up in this magical world. The video is enough to leave me wondering if this older version of computerized Jacob exists. In any case, I failed to get many details of this new hotel & residence opening up in Toronto since I was too mesmerized by all the amazing pictures and of course the video.

Would Don Draper stay here? Hmmm, perhaps in his fur selling days, but he probably wouldn’t be able to afford it. The older Don is more of a Ritz kind of guy, this might be too fabulous for him.

BANG by Marc Jacobs

Straight from the lab and right to my nose. My initial impression was live on twitter:

rec’d sample of BANG by Marc Jacobs -wow smells like an over marinated steak bbqed in the wilderness -sure id want my man to smell like that

When they said straight from the lab, they meant it. After a few days of airing it out and letting it sit – it now smells a lot different from the bottle and on the skin.

If a man could be a flower than it would smell like BANG. But, this is not for any weak boy - this is a mature smell; strong and has lots of undertones of licorice, pepper and earth. It can be quite subjective as different people smell different things and skin complicates the smell further. Needless to say, 1 male opinion voted it off the island.

Would Don Draper wear this? Yes, I do believe he would, although I am not sure Betty would approve; perhaps Sally would!

Proof Whiskey

I was invited to a whiskey tasting of this new alcohol called “Proof”. I thought the bottle was ingenious – at 500 ml, its not a tacky mickey and at 20 bucks, its affordable. Here was my live twitter first impression:

The bottle is like one of those lab bottles from biology class – yummy though

It definitely has a biology-retro spin to it – perfect for all demographics. The bartenders mixed up four fantastic drinks with ample alcohol included. I liked the fact that the drink was smooth and there was no burning or bitterness.

Would Don Draper drink this? A thousand times yes!!!
