Men Are Just As Vain

I thought it was very funny when Jennine from The Coveted commented in my post about "the Wondercup" that men are just as vain as us...
I totally agree and I remembered the book Manworks.- A Guide to Style that I recently bought following the advice of my dear hubby who knows that I like everything that's men-related (as i said so many times before).

The book was written in 1980 by make-up artist and journalist Stan Place (I wonder if he's the same Stan Place from Maybelline), and it's a men's guide to style (hair cuts, scents, exercise, shaving...). It can be quite hilarious sometimes (80's style) but in general it would be a perfect bed-book for The Sartorialist.
I only miss real images in the book as everything in it is illustration except for the cover; wouldn't be awesome to have some men styles from the 80's?
Some tips from the book...

" Should men color their hair? Yes, if they want to"

" Don't let the word style throw you. Good, bad, or indifferent, a hairstyle is something every man does have --even Yul Bryner and Telly Savalas, who have no hair"

" Scents can be used to create an atmosphere or a mood, to enhance sexual attraction, and to become a part of a person's total image."





/// Este post es en honor al comentario que Jennine de The Coveted hizo respecto al post que publiqué sobre el "Wondercup". Ella, muy sabia dijo que "los hombres son tan vanidosos como lo podamos ser las mujeres...".
Me recordó el libro que me compré hace poco siguiendo el consejo de alguien bien cercano me dió sabiendo el vicio que tengo con todo lo relacionado con la moda de hombre titulado Manworks.- A Guide To Style.
Es un llibro para hombres y cómo mejorar o desarrollar su estilo... Fué escrito en los años 80' así que a veces peca de "pasado", pero en general es una maravilla.
El único "pero" es la ausencia total de fotos... todo es ilustración excepto la portada... y siendo un libro de los 80' no estaria nada mal ver algun que otro modelito de los de entonces...
