The Motherf**ker With The Hat

**No Spoilers**

I love spontaneous. I think being spontaneous is the fountain of youth. No plans, no reservations, no waiting or research. Get an impulse and go! Sometimes it back fires, but then there is spontaneous plan B. If you can think that fast. As we get older we lose that. Not me not yet.

So yesterday my woman says, we’re going to see “The Motherfucker With The Hat“. All I know is the show starts at 8pm, Chris Rock is featured & tickets are waiting at the box office.

“The MotherFucker With The Hat” is a comedy that deals with real issues. Classic Chris Rock way of getting through to us. The show is fast paced with no intermission so pay attention. Funny, serious, sexy & violent. There is substance abuse, love, fighting, camaraderie & mistrust. One thing missing was singing and I was not disappointed.

Bobby Cannavale plays an ex con alcoholic named Jackie who continually beefs with his girlfriend Veronica played by Elizabeth Rodriguez. She has her own issues as well. Chris Rock character Ralph is there to help Jackie get back on his feet in society as his sponsor. Yul Vazquez killed as Cousin Julio. If any character deserves a spin off of any kind its Cousin Julio.

I don’t even remember how long the show was. Even with the tight Gerald Shoenfield Theater seats hurting my knees I could have sat longer. Still a nice old school theater. We sat 5 rows back on the mezzanine. Great seats and honestly every seat up there is a good seat. Next time I’ll try for balcony seats so I can stretch out a little. Courteous ushers and bars on every level. Go check out “The MotherFucker With The Hat” Serious Bok approves.

“The MotherFucker With The Hat”
The Gerald Shoenfield Theater
236 West 45th Street
NY,New York

What to do after the play? Its Times Square Theater District so pick a place & walk. Hard Rock Cafe’ is in walking distance. The bruschetta is great, beer, mojitos & once in a while they play a song I know.

And of course end the night blowing cigar smoke out the sunroof….LUXE.

Versace x H&M Autumn 2011

H&M (Hennes&Mauritz) the affordable designer retail chain department store has got together with Versace to create basically a cheaper line for more sales. And I’m not mad. The recession is real and even producers of the highest high end luxury items feel it. Donatella Versace certainly isn’t doing us a  favor.

The Versace H&M line with be for sale November 2011 and January 2012 for spring. A Women’s and men’s selection will be available, but that’s not why I care. I doubt any of these clothes besides a vintage Notorious B.I.G. button up can fit me. There will also be a Versace Home Collection available. This is what I want to see. The gaudy pillow cases, bed sets, linens, towels & hopefully tableware.  

The Versace Home Collection is Luxe. I am positive the H&M home collection will be not as bold & royal family-ish as the original collection by Versace, but hope its a tiny bit inspired from it. I’m just not in the right frame of mind or pocket to pay $300 per dinner plate or $277 for a pillow. Maybe that means I don’t need Versace. Maybe it means I was smart enough to buy in a recession.

Here are some items from the original Versace Home Collection not H&M.

Designer clothes are nice. Designer home is nicer.

Congratulations Mark Cuban 2011 NBA Champion/Owner

Congrats to Mark Cuban owner of the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks! Yes I am congratulating an owner. He didn’t make one free throw, dunk or assist. But Mr. Cuban also did not sit up in some luxury suite and look down on the employees(players) and customers(fans) either.

Probably the most popular of all team owners with his role on HBO’s Entourage to the ABC hit show Shark Tank Mark Cuban is Broad and Luxe. Look at the pic above Mr. Cuban tweeted. Besides that trophy and private jet he’s one of us. He pulled that celebration cigar out of its plastic cover and threw it right on the seat just as we would in our cars. LOL!

Did he light that cigar on the jet? I would bet he did. When you own the plane you do what you want. Winning! If you missed our review of private flight options look for it under Luxe Blvd. If you missed what a NBA team owner, actor, entrepreneur does follow Mark Cuban on twitter. @mcuban Also check his blog “Blog Maverick” Enjoy those cigars Maverick fans!
