SUMMER ISSUE #001
Editors Note This summer has got to be the most productive one for me to date. Usually when one thinks of summer, it’s filled with vacations, parties, alcohol, picnics, friends. But unfortunately, I was unable to enjoy those activities. Instead, work was my priority. Emails, meetings, and photo shoots was my entire summer. Though I did enjoy every bit of it, I feel like the summer is a time to just enjoy yourself.

Have a great summer! Jamie C. Tonge Editor-In-Chief
E MM HO 2 CT 201 TIN ER DIS UMM S
We sometimes get so wound up in work, friends, and personal life that we just tend to totally neglect our own well-being. Summer is a time to let your hair down and take a break from the real world, and absorb the colorful vibes that the season exudes. I think that’s why I chose some of the content featured in this issue because in fact, they are some of things, places, or product that I wished to have the opportunity experiencing this summer. But when duty calls, I have no choice but to serve. I am made a promise to myself that indeed, I have to (at some point) put myself first. But as the saying goes, business first and play later.

Body Scrubs It isn’t just your face that benefits from a regular scrub. Your body does too believe it or not (especially during the summer). Using a body scrub allows you to remove the layers of dead skin. In which this helps increase circulation, remove dirt that is clogging pores and reveals a more fresh, revived, and softer skin. And who doesn’t love that kind of feeling? So invest in one of these all-over exfoliators.

Men who have been on the manscaping bandwagon for the last few years, know it’s near impossible to find a shaver to do the right job.

Tucked away in a brownstone in the trendy area of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn New York, you will find the ultimate male grooming experience of your life. St. Lucia native, Adrian Fanus has gained extreme popularity, not just amongst the social elite in NYC, but Hollywood’s as well. With clientele such as Chris Brown, Idris Elba, Forrest Whitaker, and Nate Robinson it seems to me that these men are not afraid of a little primping once in a while. Not to mention Adrian cutting his way into the magazine world as well with top international fashion publications like L’Uomo Vogue, Arena Homme, Dazed & Confused, and Flaunt Magazine.

We at Distinct Homme, wanted to a get a couple of grooming tips from the gifted Mr. Fanus, so we caught up with him to ask him just a few questions: DH
How often should you get your haircut/shape-up?
A haircut the first and third AF week of a month and a shapeup the second and fourth week. So basically alternating. What’s the difference between a DH salon and a barbershop? Historically salons catered to AF women and barbershops to men. Do you suggest razors or clippers DH and why? It depends on the skin type. Men AF with straight hair can use a razor as it’s less irritation on the skin and men with coarse hair should preferably use clippers because it is less prone to give them ingrown hairs. What are 3 grooming products DH men MUST have? A great brush, Frederick AF Benjamin hydrator and Barc bump down razor bump relief. How should you tip your barber DH (percentage wise)?

Overall, Adrian Fanus doesn’t just make you look different. He adds value to your grooming regimen and to your life. To him, it becomes more than just a haircut after a while; you become family, which is what the experience is ultimately about.

LG has created a series of smart appliances that reflect the company’s vision for a more connected, eco-friendly lifestyle. Such as Device-to-Device Connectivity and Unique Home Energy Management System. Which enables LG’s smart washing machines and refrigerators to monitored from a smart TV or smartphone without being physically present.
Equipped with Wi-Fi Smart Diagnostics, this program allows for the washer to selfdiagnose its problems via WiFi connection. An example would be water input issue, occur with the washer, etc. An alert will appear on your Smart TV and/ or smartphone. You make the necessary corrections through the app and Wi-Fi Smart Diagnosis quickly and efficiently helps troubleshoot the issue. To be released early 2013.
ThisFrench-doorrefrigerator has a full range of Smart ThinQ technologies. Key among them is Smart Manager, which transforms thefridgeintoacompletefood management system. You can use the refrigerator’s LCD panelorsmartphonetocheck thefooditemsstoredinside,as wellaslocationandexpiration date. The refrigerator even recommends dishes that can be cooked using the ingredients available inside. Record food items stored inside by selecting icons on the panel, using voice recognition technology or just simply scan your grocery store’s receipt barcode, which will allow the refrigerator to automatically download the items. Not to mention, go grocery shopping online directly from the LCD panel by selecting food items from inventory, which will be loaded onto Smart Shopping by pressing “Go Shopping” button. To be released early 2013.
Like the washer and refrigerator this machine is equipped with Smart ThinQ features, including Smart Access and Smart Adapt. Smart Access enables home chefs to monitor cooking settings, such as time and temperature, via mobile devices. Send cooking time information directly to the oven to make sumptuous dishes via the oven’s autocooking function. Also equipped with a unique Infrared Grill technology, a unique technology that helps cook food more efficiently and evenly. Which is another new way to enjoy convenient, gourmet cooking.

With developing projects in the works for The Mandarin Hotel Atlanta, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, and an initiative for the High Museum of Art, Boyd manages to
always make his clients first priority. Getting to know their lifestyle, ideas about living, and various personal inspirations is what motives and drives him on a daily basis. But his talent has also been expanded to commercial and residential projects, stretching from Baton Rouge to Boston. Gathering inspiration from the rich French history of New Orleans, the dwelling experience of New York, and European getaways, Boyd combines his keen sense of fashion and textile with the elements of these experiences to create spaces where all aspects of these cultures can easily be detected.

Michel Boyd is household name when it comes to interior decorating in the south. The Louisiana – born interior designer, who now resides in the metro area of Atlanta, Georgia got a head start at the Art Institute. Having an initial interest for architectural design, Michel developed a love for furniture and textiles, which he then utilized his skill that eventually landed him in New York City for a few years to express this gift. Shortly thereafter, he relocated back to Atlanta where his business was born, SMITHBOYD interiors. Over 5 years strong and with a solid small staff, Boyd definitely keeps even his business intimate and personal.

Yardbird Southern Table & Bar definitely hits home when you think of the elements that McInnis filters into his passion on a regular basis. The dĂŠcor, music, and overall ambiance are synchronized with the style of food to enhance the meals like a secret seasoning. The wood-beam ceiling, reclaimed wood walls from a farm in North Carolina, white reclaimed-brick walls, butcher-block tables, Mason-jar lamps, and other recaptured rural appointments merge

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD SPRING/SUMMER 2012
Summer is all about showing skin, there’s no doubt about that! But along with baring it all, the confidence must always come first. No matter your size. These past couple of seasons, seems like the men’s summer wardrobe has become close to wearing nothing; from tanks, to shorts, to sandals, and even swimwear. Here we take shorts for example. We’ve gone from about 3 inches from above the knee to now 5 to 9 inches (mid thigh to be exact). But the good news is that various brands have designed shorts according to many fit options similar to denim! Such as slim fit, relaxed, straight, skinny, etc. So don’t let those long hours in the gym go to waste. Take the risk and show a little more leg and I promise you won’t be selling yourself short (pun intended).

It’s always been said that fashion has a way of always repeating itself. Whether it’d be 5 years ago or 5,000 years ago, designers will always utilize the past as inspiration to making us appear and feel current. Take the gladiator sandal for example, which was once upon a time to be worn by gladiators in preparation for battle in an arena in the ancient Roman era. But this style sandal has not only been a craze amongst the women’s fashion world for the past few years, but ideally for men more recently. The styles of today are now sleek in design wit many intricate details including, straps, studs, laces, etc. But let’s stick with simple and modern for now. Here is an example with this sandal from Aldo.
