East Coast vs. West Coast - Bike Edition

Question:

When Jake cycles LA,  he dresses like this:

When Jake take the bike out in NYC  he wears this:

You gotta wonder,  why?  Has Bloomberg banned spandex too?

Bizzaro, Jerry

Both Austin and Jake were out this weekend and hitting the red carpet.  Totally different kinds of events that went into the Bizzaro world, that Jake's friend Jerry Seinfeld would say is:

"Yeah, like Bizarro Superman—Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards Bizarro world. Up is down; down is up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Goodbye" when he arrives."

Austin rolled into his Vegas with his boys to hit the fight and promote Ray Donovan and he looked every bit the A-lister he plays on the show.

 

The suit was perfect, none of the ill fitting too short jacket with french cuff undone to make the shirt fit those long arms.  Totally custom made and well tailored.


Hanging with TPTB at Showtime.

You've come a long way Austin.

And yes he brings out his big chunk of gold. To many it looks like bling for ring, but for those in the know it says off the market and his touch of having Jake close.



Sunday night Jake was nominated for, attended and presented the 28th annual Lucille Lortel Awards in NYC.

Now Jake hit the carpet in just a little less than his dashing red carpet perfection.
 
His jacket just a touch short in the sleeves looked like it was half of a suit, but his trousers definitely not part of this pair.
 
Slightly short on top below the waist Jake got a case of the too longs.  Causal trousers that puddled around his ankles, it looked like he grab someone else's pair instead of his.

And his shoes not the slim sleek slip ons or oxfords, are more scuffed boots. The  kind of look someone else has sported on the red carpet.   He didn't have a ring to share but maybe the look was a message to his mister, and or he needed the boot heels go with  those too long Austin trousers.

And the beard, while a little wooly, has come into it's own with a little patch of grey that looks like,  "oops you still have a little cream on your face" if you look quick.
 
 Life playing its own dirty little joke.

Jake wasn't only nominated for an award,  he also had the chance to present one and to someone close to him.
 

 
His category to announce was Outstanding Female Performance and Jake got the joy of presenting it to his co-star Annie Funke.
 
 

Up was down, Down was Up  this weekend with Austin looking every inch  the A-lister and Jake looking like  the up and comer.

Fashion Derby

Austin might not have made it to Derby Day, but could have fooled some people with Tom Brady.

And it isn't the first time someone saw the resemblance.

"we do remember meeting Nichols at the premiere of his most recent flick, "Glory Road." We stopped to talk to him because he was so tall and handsome, and for no other reason. He admitted to us that he was the only person in the movie who wasn't good at basketball.

"I lied and told them I was a basketball player," he giggled, as we swooned. "I am a terrible basketball player."

We then told him that if they ever made a movie about Tom Brady, he should play him in the lead role. This comment thereby exhausted all of our sports knowledge.

We eavesdropped as he chatted with someone else nearby, who asked him what his favorite recent movie was.

"Brokeback Mountain," he grinned. We gripped a nearby publicist for support. "I can’t think of any other love story that got me so..." and then he trailed off." Source

We always knew Austin was "fashion forward", but is he so ahead that him years ago is he the fashion inspiration for Tommy now?
Last night at The Met Ball Tom's hair looked a lot like Austin's 'do in Italian Vogue.

And then some fashion in black & white.

And how about a tall one this Two Wheel Tuesday?

Poncho it Up!

With his flotation device jacket on Jake popped back up again in NYC after a week of speculating exactly where he was.

And it was party time. But it looks like Jake was not the bigger partier of the night. Looking more like out past bedtimes and headed home via the subway.

But speaking of that flotation device.... there's got to be some other uses for it because soon Jakey you are going to have to part with it Spring is here and Summer is coming and it will be a little too warm to swaddled in Sta-puff. Subway seat cushion? Plane pillow?

So what will be the next Never Gonna Give You fashion item Jake will be wearing in the upcoming Spring /Summer season?

The Old Grey T she aint what she used to be. And those tan summer khakis had that unfortunate bike seat accident, although Jake is keeping Mum(ford) about it.
And forget the flip flops - it's doubtful for the Great White North in May, where it still can be a little chilly to dare to bare, and for a germaphobe like Jake - flips flops on the streets of New York would drive him to curl up in s ball and slow rock at the thought of the funk that could find his feet.

Will it be the casually draped sweater around his shoulders? or tied around his waist to hide his assets?

Long gone are the days with tee with graphics and trucker hats with logos - it's solid colors and chambray now. Will the blue shirt be back? Will we see the wrinkle white again? Although he might be swayed by a Eat More Kale shirt.

And will Jake buy more than one pair of pants?

Can OMG make a fashion suggestion, something that will fake the dates by being seen in the same thing but let you change up your outfits at the same time?

Just say ... Poncho.

They've got you covered.

Mursy Mursy Me

It's all about accessories.

You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes. - Patsy Stone

And the guys both have a long list of accessories from suspenders/braces to rings, jewelry to sunglasses, hats to handbags .., manbags

From Julian's manbag momentto
Jake's mini for metro London
Lot's a guys bag it,
and they're handy all your stuffand good for shopping.but someone let Jake know there rules and what the rules are recently.

He might need to share that with Austin.

Purple Haze

Julian has wardrobe had gone from henleys, and epaulets, to lots and lots of plaids, and even Chippendale puppy, but we've never seen him in this:

Why is a character who is always dresses in dark colors popping up in a lilac checked shirt in last week's episode ( 9x09)?Especially when he is usually dressed in darker tone as was the rest of the cast for this episode.

Was it just Julian getting Spring fever the first of October (when the filmed the episode)?Or maybe someone in wardrobe got inspired by the purple/brown combination of black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream?Or was it Austin using the wardrobe again as a new small shout out (or a shout out to a new small)?


Speaking of what to wear:

How about this for a St. Patrick's Day Two Wheel Tuesday.
Since someone's always chasing Austin's Lucky Charms.

Happy Two Wheel Tuesday.
