Ten Tech Toys For the Man - Or Men - In Your Life

Ten Tech Toys For the Man - Or Men - In Your Life

It’s a good thing that shiny electronics don’t give cavities, because the ten tech toys we’re about to show you are sweeeeet.

Sorry about that.

Hive Tip: If you’re wondering what a guy really wants, it’s all about listening. If you hear “I’ll see you Zune,” or, “You are the apple of my iPod,” give the poor guy a break and take his pathetic hint to heart. Subtlety was never his strong suit anyway.

Black Friday Survival Guide

Yes, luxury is synonymous with Casa Naranja but no one loves a bargain more than us. Granted we prefer to experience the madness of Black Friday from the comfort of our chaise lounges but sacrifices will be made. Getting up at unheard of hours in order to beat the virtual crowds being one of them. Well..last BF I thought I was really clever and set my alarm up for 5am, laptop plugged, list on desk and want to hit the ground running - well the twenty steps to the laptop anyway. To make a long story short my plan backfired. Apparently I wasn't the only clever person with this "original"idea and the systems were down. Well this year we come armed with a new set of arsenals. We bring you the real deal on BF deals, the ultimate shopping guides (for this week anyway) and tons of ways to avoid mistakes of years ago.

The DL on The DR Going High-End



A perfect article to leave laying around your favorite cigar smoking person....


Yet another excuse for you to think about taking that cigar trip abroad…and perhaps even staying the winter : The DL on the DR Going High-End

Once known for modest beach houses and three-star all-inclusive resorts overrun by the Spanish and German bourgeoisie, real estate and resort development in the Dominican Republic has undergone a paradigm shift. If a multi-billion dollar luxury community twice the size of Manhattan, four upscale boutique hotels, and a new international airport aren’t enough to convince you that the country is entering a residence renaissance, well, you’re probably one of those skeptics who actually believes Elvis is dead. > read more

Dominican Dominance - The Cigar Report


Trader Monthly is one of my favorite rags, for obvious reasons, particularly with bonus season upon us but more on that later.

Freud once said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,"…..but he never had a Dominican smoke!!!

Aside from all things Latin, I love traders. These guys (and girls too), know how to spot a trend. And in the most recent Trader Monthly -- a fab rag that is a must read for all Wall Streeters -- The Cigar Report spots one that should not surprise anyone. Dominican stogies dominate as the best smoke out there. So grab a trader....

The DR captures the cigar world’s crown : Dominican Dominance

The Dominican Republic on the rise, stogie-wise

There’s no other scent like it in the world: that unmistakable chocolate-and-earth mélange wafting through the air from the nondescript cinderblock building across the road, the one that comes from tobacco being aged, treated, cut and hand-rolled by rows of busy workers. The scent is enough to make a cigar smoker start salivating like a puppy at the door of a butcher shop > read more

Diego Luna and Chávez


source: Splendora

Contemporary Latin American cinema has had a pronounced presence in the international scene this year, with directors such as Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu attracting attention to cinematic voices outside of the Hollywood paradigm. Add another name to this creative vanguard: Diego Luna, the 27-year-old actor-turned-director heretofore best known for his role in Cuaron's Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela



Yesterday, a friend told me about the New York debut of Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela at Carnegie Hall November 11 and 12. I am ashamed to say I never heard of Dudamel so I did a little research and I am fascinated by him. Dudamel is a classical music conductor and the brightest young star to shine in years. The 26 year old Venezuelan hottie (ladies, he's married) will be the Los Angeles Philarmonic's next music director as of the 2009-2010 season.

His conducting is described as electric, breathtaking, passionate and he is referred to as classical music's rockstar. The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra is made up of over 200 kids between the ages of 14 and 24 and they are supposed to be incredible and play with great passion. At the risk of writing another platitude, it's so exciting to see young, fresh talent be rewarded. Here is a link to a great New York Times article on Dudamel.
