First of all- what an honor to be invited on to Lifestyle Lemonaid as the first male blogger! When I got the call from the boss I couldn’t have been more fired up! I hope I do her proud with this…
Come on guys… Let’s be honest with ourselves… You get into your 30′s and 40′s and its tough to look like you did in your 20′s. Admit it though please. Denial is bad. It’s a waste of time. If you are overweight, don’t tell people you feel “lean”.. or have your suits tailored like you are a European Soccer Player because you look awful. You gotta get to a gym, run, walk, whatever- That’s 101. If you are losing your hair, which you probably are you better cut that shit short, or shave your head- but stop growing it out, using products, and acting like you have hair. You know you don’t and so does everyone else. Look, I’m 35 years old, my hair got thin at 25 and I take it down with clippers to a “1” once a week religiously and I look fly, trust me… Ask my wife, or Mrs Lemonaid- they’ll tell you. I’m not doing Rogaine, Propecia, letting anyone put shots in my scalp- tried it, its bullshit. The fucking so called “best doctor in the country” had no hair. This dude has tried it all on himself and he looked like a walking test tube. Freaked me out to be honest. If he can’t figure it out, then how is it supposed to work for anyone else?
That said the best remedy for self confidence which is what you have zero of if you are getting hair plugs, or if you really even care that you are losing hair is one simple thing…. SWAGGER. First of all it’s FREE. You don’t need to see a doctor, you don’t have to go on-line to get it or feel like a loser when you are paying for it in a store. Trust me, if you work on it a bit, and have it you instantly have a leg up on EVERYONE around you. The whole world is insecure.. so if you are the one guy in the room who isn’t- you win automatically. Example: About 5 years ago I’m standing at an event talking to LL Cool J… “Ladies Love” Cool J ok? There aren’t many people on the planet cooler than this guy. Black, White, Brown, Purple… he’s the man and has been for over 20 years. The dude was wearing the sweetest white suit I had ever seen. I say to him, “Todd”-which is his real name, that suit is unreal… I could never pull that off”… He literally looked at me like we wanted to knock me out. He says “Man, don’t ever let me hear you say something like that again.. Of course you can… you can wear anything you want as long as YOU LOVE IT and YOU FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF. If you put this suit on and walk into a room like you own it you win every time.” True story, from that point on every suit I own I have had made for me. Whatever color (a bit sharper), whatever pattern (a bit more bold), whatever everything (pockets, handkerchiefs etc) however I want it. And by the way, I pay less than you all do for your suits GUARANTEED and the quality is as good if not better than any high end store you want to throw your credit cards down at I assure you. How you do that is for a different day if Mrs Lemonaid invites me back. Swagger is EVERYTHING. It’s how you dress, it’s how you talk, it’s how you walk into a restaurant, party, room or meeting. If you have swagger, and you believe who you are you can be losing some hair, and be a couple pounds heavier than you want to be (not over-weight) because swagger makes up for A LOT. So do yourself a favor and buy that suit you think may be too loud for you because it probably isn’t- or rock those shoes that you think may be to cool for you because they probably arent. Wear a tie that people have to say “Damn, check out that tie”… Shake hands a little firmer- and for godssake please look people in the eyes! Pick your chin up and stand tall with your shoulders back a bit more when you’re walking down the street, into a restaurant, or when you are trying to close a deal or EVEN BETTER THESE DAYS- trying to get a job! Act like you BELONG wherever you are. It all works… As my good friend and sure shot NFL Hall of Famer and NY Giant Michael Strahan said to me when he met my wife… “man, you sure out kicked your coverage bro.. you’re wife is beautiful and great.” He’s 100% right… And it was my swagger and confidence that landed her years back and it’s definitely one of the things she loves most about me. I’m just sayin fellas…. SWAGGER. You probably have it already but if you don’t, GET SOME.
Mr. Swagger your post was genious… I really hope some of those LA guys go find them some “swagger” and I happen to run into one of them.
where do you get your suits from? i need a place that is willing to work with me so i can get my swagger back!
great post wish you would expand on custom suits in a later post.
I always enjoy your posts, your real, and some times funny as well. keep it up!:)
