Axe Acts Up Again
With Super Tuesday off and running, the folks Axe are at it again. Working hard to poke some fun and promote their line of men’s grooming products, they have taken aim at the recent (apparent) warming between Senators Clinton and Obama.

Campaign Strategies: How Do I Look?
Just a quick note to highlight the fact that I’m not the only one pondering what may be the most clothing-intensive presidential campaign in decades.

Over the past few years however, D.C. has made some dramatic changes. We’re going upscale and fast becoming a serious luxury market. If you’re in the area make…
Haircuts on the Hill
Today, I sat in the seat of power. No, I did not sneak into the West Wing like Al Gore on Saturday Night Live. Nor did I warm the big chair for Nancy Pelosi while she took a call off the House floor. I was nearby though, in another bastion of power and style; the…
