Lose the lumber

Way back in 2008 OMG shared How to make a LumberJake. 

And around that time the word Lumbersexual was added to the Urban Dictionary

 A Metro-sexual who has the need to hold on to some outdoor based rugged-ness, thus opting to keep a finely trimmed beard. - Urban Dictionary 2008

(Although back in February 2004 someone had defined Lumbersexual on Urban Dictionary as:  “A male who humps anyone who gives him wood.” )

Who knew we were years ahead of the newest trend?

 As fall becomes winter 2014,  Lumbersexual is popping up all over the media. And yes blame it on Brooklyn and all those bearded, plaid shirted, Carhartt jacketed, boot wearing, kambucha drinking, Soul Cycle/Yoga taking guys.

Sound like anyone OMG knows?

Now that lumbersexual has made it to Time Magazine - it takes it out of the trend and makes it more like a dying star.

With Jake seemingly always years ahead of the curve, does this mean in another two years, shiny parachute jackets will be peaking?

 Or the reverse tuxedo?

Or a duck blind masquerading as a coat? 

 Or just a Jake-a-sexual?

They're going baaack......

For some school is starting for others they have one last month of summer  before it's time to hit to the books.

It's an oldie but a goodie.



 So for an Austin Back to School Friday you might expect pictures like this:

 or this

or this

All would be fitting.

But there is one Austin outfit that combines the best of Back to School, Hipster Middle School teacher and Picture Day all in one.

Oh and Jake, don't for get an apple for the teacher.







Happy Austin Back to School Friday!

Plaids and Pop Pop

Something looking a little similar?Funny how that happens over time. Spend your day in trailers somewhere warm. Start dressing alike. Soon it's regular early bird specials. ; )


Must the admit the thought of matching plaid suits is too too much. (shudder)

It was great to see Jake in the City and out with his dad doing a little shoe shopping and enjoying an espresso. But why didn't he save it for when he's out shopping and having coffee with the farmer/tiny dancer/perfumer? Take too long, I bet and not a tenth as fun. That's right's its all about soft furnishings now.


Funny how much has changed from one Columbus Day to the next. Last year's was lingerie in London and this year sofas in Soho. Guess the bloom is off, (yawn) Ironically it's now the name of her perfume. (Life is the best comedy)


Jake is looking great, and great to see that smile. Looks like he is making the most of being East Coast based. Here's another question - why look for a sofa in Soho for a place in Cali? I mean can you imagine the shipping on that? LOL



Someone posted the link earlier, gamers were giving a preview of PoP that will be a trailer for 2012 with Ben Kingsley getting his evil on, Jake and Gemma, and a glowing dagger. The words Indiana Jones is now added to the list of commonalities along with Lawrence of Arabia. If Mike Newell creates combination of the epic of Arabia and the comic wink of Indy with swagger and the adventure of both along with a great cast and stunning visuals, wow now that some kind of PoP.

Many have said the Roland Emmerich's 2012 is the Day after The Day After Tomorrow except without Jake. Now that the PoP is a trailer for 2012 its a little bit Jake AND Roland destroying the world again, sneak in a nip of Wild Turkey and you could have a trifecta of TDAT.

No doubt the trailer will find its way online before the second showing on 2012's opening day.

They've gone to plaid

What happens when you mix Austin Friday and The Day After Tomorrow/Star Trek Movie Club later today? Well you get this:







You think somebody was practicing their best Sear Toughskins suit poses ? (Wonder if that suit is Toughskins tough? ; ) )


Hey have a great Austin Friday and stop back by tonight at 5:00pm EST for the start of our Movie Club of The Day After Tomorrow and a comparative discussion of TDAT and the newly released Star Trek.

We will keep this post open during all day today and Saturday for all non Movie Club discussion.

TimberJake

Trends come from Hollywood and this one seems to catching on. The scruffy LumberJake is taking off !

How could it not with the JT now jumping on the bandwagon. Seems like just yesterday he was doing more the Austy vesting, but now he's mad for plaid.

You wonder if JT is just being the kind boyfriend and getting Jessica ready for shooting with Jake starting next week. You know too much plaid too quickly can be overwhelming. Or maybe Jessica just likes the whole plaid thing already.

But it comes down to who wore it better? And I 'm not only talking about the shirt.
