Sports Sound Off: Welcome to the No Benjamins Association (Swipe)

sports_sound_off_no-benjamins-association-2
I skipped my annual NBA All-Star Weekend column because I was frantically trying to finish my book. At least that’s how I rationalized it. I need to finish this book. I have a deadline. I can’t afford to spend that writing time on anything else. But after reflecting for a few days, I came to a sobering conclusion: The book was a convenient excuse. I could have found time to pump out that column. I just didn’t want to hand it in.

The Handbook: Cooler Khakis

cooler_khakis
Chinos are a classic staple, but there’s nothing worse than a pair of droopy, ill-fitting khakis like your dad wears. Okay, there are many worse things. But it’s hard to find the perfect pair that’s slim (yet don’t pinch around the waist), and comfortable (yet don’t end up looking like sweatpants after a few washes). Difficult, yes, but not impossible. Case in point: Rugby’s New University pant. They fit like a pair of A.P.C. New Standards—sturdy, trim and slightly tapered at the ankle. Most importantly, they don’t suffer from a common problem of affordable chinos: the dreaded baggy ass. And speaking of affordability, a pair only costs about 70 bucks. $69.50 at Rugby

Photography: Guy Aroch – The Virgins – NY Times Magazine

T
he Virgins—Donald Cumming, Nick Zarin-Ackerman, and Wade Oates—grew up here (Queens, the Upper West Side, and assorted downtown locations, respectively) but didn’t become a band until 2006, when a series of chance meetings brought them together. Cumming (lead singer–songwriter) and Oates (guitar) met during one of photographer Ryan McGinley’s road trips, then became roommates, then recruited Zarin-Ackerman (bass). The Virgins’ self-titled debut, which came out this past year, is “meant to be an optimistic, fun record about kids who make the opposite decisions from what they’re meant to do,” says Cumming. “At some point we’ve all thought, I just want to have a really good time tonight, and I don’t give a fuck about anything else.” They’ve sold out the Music Hall of Williamsburg and, seemingly, have an affinity for fashion; aside from looking good in the pictures here (with some of their loyal fans), they’re playing the opening of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Sports Sound Off: Pistons in Deep Do-Do

Doo Doo
The once great team called the Detroit Pistons are in BIG Trouble! Losers of 5 straight, their underbelly is exposed. Finger pointing will begin shortly, along with Rasheed Wallace’s annual blow-up. Sure they can beat the middle rung teams (Heat, Nets) & the door mats (Thunder, Wizards), but the elite teams do not fear Detroit. Even A.I. cutting his braids hasn’t helped.

The Handbook: Ditch the Zit (30/30)

glimpse
You can control most break outs by using the proper cleaning regime. We strongly suggest Glimpse the clean & green mangosteen powered skin care system that gives you that smooth, hydrated, and radiant  steez.

But sometimes the damn thing just pop up. Whatever you do, resist the urge to pop it. It’ll only make it bigger, redder, stronger. Instead, apply a salicylic acid treatment and if you really need to get rid of of the redness for say, a big meeting or first date, then dab on a little hydrocortisone cream.
