I have the same argument every time I talk about Flight of the Conchords, which as it happens is quite often. I reckon Bret is way hotter than Jemaine, so I just don’t get why some of my friends think Jemaine is. I know the Conchords have wives and stuff and I don’t mean to belittle their status as talented entertainers, but I really need to know what you think…

Today Tom Beard from the Wellingtonista shares his favourite outfit. We love that we have male readers, but when are you ladies gonna send us in a picture eh?
Actually, I have lots of favourites, but this has to be top.
I’m wearing a bespoke linen suit by Mandatory, and a custom tab-collar cotton shirt from Rixon Groove. The tie is from Little Brother, with a vintage pearl tie pin from Marvel, and the Gatsby cap by Goorin is from Rex Royale. Out of shot, I’m wearing two-tone pointed brogues from Atticus and a pair of cufflinks that I believe belonged to my paternal great-grandfather and are the closest thing I have to a family heirloom. The whole ensemble is set off delightfully by the ultimate accessory: a beautiful “Shirley” from the house of McGill.
Nothing beats a tailored suit for elegance and flattery: as soon as I put it on I feel 10 kilos lighter and two inches taller. What I especially like about this outfit is the balance of formality and summery casualness. I tried it first with a lighter shade of tie and no cap, and it looked like I was off to a wedding. The floppy cap gave the whole outfit the jauntiness of a garden party from The Great Gatsby, which was the exactly look I was after for Amy’s 1920’s-themed party.
In this picture, Mike is wearing:
… a cheeky grin, a subtle off the shoulder red number with matching red nail polish.
The string affair holding in the monster belly was supplied by Tether The Beast and actibviated by a coordinated effort from all The Riversdales
The “no hair” was by Mistake Of Miramar and discovered to be such when watching Little Britain to discover the character of Daffyd ISN’T BALD!
The arm tat peeking into the picture is “The Classic” obtained by someone or other in Swindon (UK) when I was young … I love it.
And the whole ensemble is topped off by a solid silver Wellington hand crafted wedding ring … she loves when when I wear this.

When the lovely Miss Amy and Miss Joanna gave me the brand new Dollop pomade I was skeptical. After all, I am a Dapper Dan man and have been for years. But, friends, I can tell you I have changed my tune.
Dollop’s pomade is, like any pomade, greasy to the touch and is perfect for creating those beautiful Donald Draper hairstyles that all the ladies like these days.
Hadyn or Murray or Don?
What sets Dollop apart is the wonderful smell. Dollop’s spicy ginger fragrance is incredibly nice and is a nice change from the usual chemically smells of other men’s hair products. And best of all it’s all natural ingredients.
The texture of Dollop pomade may put some guys (and girls) off. It is a greasy oily and can give your hair a dirty feel. But don’t worry, it softens during the day and feels like “normal” after an hour or two.
Also the clever both-ways-up Dollop logo means I always know what I’m reaching for (no matter my state in the morning).
(And as a person with long hair who usually doesn’t do very much to it, I think a tiny little bit of Dollop rubbed through makes a really nice light setting product, but Hadyn stole the stuff away before I had a proper chance to experiment with it)
Enter our competitions! They close Tuesday so jump to it.
First, there’s the Black Opal comp – if you’re in Auckland, or have dear friends in the Big Smoke, then enter!
Second is the Linden Leaves comp – manly man-smells could be yours!
You probably know that as well as writing Pretty Pretty Pretty with me, Jo also edits The Wellingtonista and that right now they’ve got voting open for the Third Annual Wellingtonista Awards. Amongst the nominees for ‘Best Apparel‘ are some of our favourite stores Swonderful and Madame Fancy Pants, so we want to make sure that you know about them, and that you vote.
If you come along to the TAWAs award night, you’ll go into the draw to win a gorgeous prize pack from Linden Leaves but if you can’t make it on the night, or if you simply can’t wait to try their lovely stuff, we have a Pure Man Soap on a Rope to give away. I think the soap smells like rosemary, strangely enough given that’s one of its main ingredients, while Jo goes to far as to say “If I wasn’t happy being a crazy cat lady, I might be tempted to leave this soap under my pillow so that I could imagine that there was a gorgeous-smelling man sleeping next to me at night, But I’m not that lame, honest!”
If you wanna win the soap, just tell us what your favourite nominee in the TAWAs is before voting closes next Tuesday, and we’ll draw it with the randomiser.
