Commercials for Guys

Written by Andrew Payne on January 24, 2011
Film, Menswear, Vintage

Yes, we men are predictable creatures. You can sell us anything by playing to our weaknesses- Girls, Sports, and aspirational Coolness. With that said, it really is a wonder how Madison Avenue survived its heyday by putting out the cheese as demonstrated by the accompanying commercials. All things are relative though- I assume that people [...]

One | A First Birthday

Written by Andrew Payne on January 5, 2011
Blogging, Computers, Fashion, Film, Music, writing

It’s hard to believe that a year has gone by already. A year ago today I posted my first article on The First Few. Not much of an article actually, but rather a test post dropped into WordPress to test the waters.  Being new at the time to blog writing and the software that drove [...]

GQ Style Manual

Written by Andrew Payne on October 11, 2010
Fashion, Film, Menswear

This season’s GQ Style Manual is a welcome hearken back to the original spirit of the ubiquitous men’s fashion magazine, with all the modern style and polish expected in a current publication. The “manual” covers top coats to ties and hats to suits, and everything in between. Each element is displayed with great-looking product and [...]

Mesrine | Killer Style

Written by Andrew Payne on September 3, 2010

Vincent Cassel as Mesrine and  Cécile De France as Jeanne Schneider Okay, here is my prediction of the obvious… The visual impact of the Mesrine films (Mesrine, Killer Instinct & Public Enemy #1) will be on the tips of the tongues of the fashionistas in the very near future. The fashion “industry” is in a [...]

Art of Facts | FUTURA

Written by Andrew Payne on September 1, 2010
Art, Film, NYC

Art Of Facts (Feat. FUTURA) from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo. The fluidity and confidence of Futura’s movements really say it all. Permanent markers and black spray paint on crisp white paper are very unforgiving mediums in which to dabble.  If you’re going to paint, paint like you mean it. Really graceful work in front of the [...]

Transformers 3: The Attack of Chicago

Written by Andrew Payne on August 4, 2010
Film, Travel

Living in New York, I often come across movies being shot in the City’s streets. Most are nothing worth mentioning (like Sex and the City), but some like Will Smith’s I Am Legend, was very cool to stumble upon. Prop grass “growing” along Fifth Avenue and debris strewn along sidewalks to create the look of [...]

Paper Fortress Films | Keeping Up With Stebs

Art, Charity, Design, Film, NYC

I stopped by the Paper Fortress to see what Mr. Stebs Schinnerer had been up to since last visiting with him (March 23, 2010)- and it looks like he’s been a busy man, to say the least. He’s been on a country-wide tour with his friend Johnny Cupcakes for the Suitcase Tour / Back To [...]

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer- What’ll You Have?

Written by Andrew Payne on July 9, 2010
Collecting, Film, USA, Vintage

No Opener Needed! Pabst is the real deal. The same original quality, made with care and consistency in America’s heartland, Pabst Blue Ribbon has often been referred to as the every-man’s-beer- hence, it’s adoption by the harbingers of all things authentic- the Hipsters. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with having appreciation for the good stuff…
