Visual/News That Matter - Diddy, the gay vague

Perez was even more specific ;)

So...Diddy is letting you minions in on how to turn your Amazonian rough'n'tough bodyguard into the fallguy strictly by his smoooooothness. *rolling my eyes* (my comments in gag-me brown)

Details, April 2006

1. Smooth is a thing you can learn from Sinatra. He looked everybody in the eye. The way he moved—Sinatra was always making statements, but he was never being loud. He didn’t have to yell. But unfortantly you do, Diddy - precisely b/c your attempt is too contrived.

2. You’ve got to get your smell right. Walk into an elevator with a beautiful woman in it. If you’ve got your scent going in the right direction, she’s gonna be thinking about you when you leave. That’s the way to seal a woman. There's some truth in that.

3. The lighting design in a home is the icing on a cake. I’m not talking about anything expensive; I’m talking about dimmers. You’ve got to be able to control the mood. I'm seconding Perez's comment on this. If you have enough self-confidence, you don't need this unnecessary fluff. (and do I have stories? *snarky chuckles* oh yes)

4. I don’t have a lot of body hair. If I did, I’d get rid of it. For a woman, a wax is absolutely necessary. It makes everything smoother and more attainable. It makes room for all the advances I make when I’m going to please a woman. hahaha! He never came across to me as some amazing lover. Whatever persona he is trying to exude is and was never convincing. Some guys look better in jeans than a suit. You’ve got to let your handsome work for you. You’ve got to accentuate.

5. Accomplishment is attractive. Not if you brag about it though. There are men who wouldn’t make the cover of some “Sexiest Man Alive” issue of a magazine like you Diddy, but they get real appealing when they open their mouths. I’d rather be blessed with that than with looks. b/c deep down, Diddy knows his looks alone have no chance to save his ass if need be. It’s better to look like you’re wearing something that fits than like you’re wearing a trend. Then why did you date J.Lo??!

6. Women are going to tell you they love a man who’s huggable—that they like something they can hold on to—but at the end of the day, nothing compares to a toned body. There’s nothing wrong with letting it all hang out, but when you care, it shows.

7. I’m not just saying this because I’m a black man—I love all my brothers and sisters of other colors—but we are the most flavorful race. Please expand on that.

8. I have a “man bag.” I’m not gonna lie. Just make sure that if you carry one, it’s very, very big, so it doesn’t get mistaken for a pocketbook. So no one will accuse Kim Porter as his beard.

9. Don’t mess with the cut of your suit too much. Some things are going to look good on you, and some aren’t. Leave that up to your tailor. Certainly some truth in that.

Once again, our amusement here at Spoils of War is served by Details. Their consistent ability to deliver justifies the use of deception in order to enjoy the goods.


While I have not committed the act stated above, I have pretended I was buying it for my b/f's. No worries, for I have finally come to accept the truth that I enjoy reading Details and can publicly (well, gingerly) admit that I buy it for myself. Thanks to the geekiest coolest hamster I know for sending the above pic to me. Which reminds me of a funny anecdote he told me of his sibling which I must share:

His sister was sitting in a subway car when a very large man walked in. After a few glances, it occured to her that she really enjoys the food at McDonalds! She thinks she is mean for having entertained this thought but no no my dear, it's not like she was intentionally passing irrational judgement upon the man. It was just a simple ink-blot-esque incidence.

Oh my...I've just realized I could use some mickey-d's as well...it's been a long while! yummmmah!
