Ducati Multistrada 1200S

Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]My newest lust. The Ducati Multistrada 1200S is the newest phenomena from Italy.  “Multistrada” meaning “Many Roads” is exactly what this hi-tech transformer of a superbike is made for.  The Multistrada can, at the push of a button literally, transform the power, suspension, ABS, traction control gizmo’s to any road and [...]

Sundek Swimwear – Customizedhttp://thecool-list.com/

Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Last summer I did a popular post on the hip swim trunks from Sundek.  They were as you’d expect very hard to find and if you did find a pair they were in limited color combinations.  Now the swimwear maker is making them to your exact color specs.  Using their [...]

Imogene and Willie

Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Now that I have de-compressed from my stint in Nashville, I have been reflecting on some of the very cool and cold, but mainly cool times I have had in Nashville.  Nashville was a town I went to with no pre-existing expectations, no personal references as what I might expect.  [...]

Palladium Boots

Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Not since the late 80′s did I favor these cool canvas utility boots from France called Palladiums.  They were only available from one shop in Los Angeles, “The American Rag Cie”, on La Brea which at the time was a very eclectic shop carrying imports and odd vintage wear that [...]

Bottega Louie

Rating 3.50 out of 5 [?]Newly opened Bottega Louie is one of my new favorites.  An oasis in the middle of sometimes dreary downtown Los Angeles, this polished, marble and brass space is cavernous, light and airy.  The glass cases are filled with delights both sweet and savory.  The bar beckons, if only I was [...]
