AS SPRING ARRIVED IN TORONTO, the city’s most important tastemakers and influencers made their way to the Trump International Hotel for the biggest party of the year, our Spring/Summer 2013 Sharp: The Book for Men launch. Dressed to the nines, guests were greeted at the entrance by two beautiful F-Type Jaguars before they were ushered into the hotel to partake of the night’s festivities. Contempo Media’s new women’s fashion magazine, S/Style & Fashion, made its grand debut in a stylish red lounge where the ladies had their hair styled and were treated to champagne, chocolates, macaroons and other confections. On the second floor, partygoers watched a live suit-cutting demonstration by the master tailors of Garrison Bespoke before making their way into the main hall to Continued on P. 26 1.

In the Editor’s Lounge, luxury timepieces from Rado, Gc, Bandiera Jewellers and David Yurman were on display next to a grooming station by American Crew, beautiful leather goods from Betty Hemmings and a putting green and golf shoe display from Ecco. Guests were able to party their way through the night, enjoying great libations, great food and great company before going home with their own copies of the new Sharp: The Book for Men. It was, without a doubt, the party of the year. Until the fall event, that is.

DAN SAVAGE FIGURED I WAS GAY. I told him I had first discovered him when I was a 13-year-old Mormon drama kid who used to read his column while waiting for my mom to pick me up from rehearsals, and that he helped me a lot. Really, you can’t blame him. And, if I were the kind of guy who didn’t read Savage’s column “Savage Love,� which appears in dozens of weeklies across North America and Europe, from the time I was a kid till now, I might be uncomfortable with his assumption. But, among other things, Savage helps people to be comfortable with their sexuality. He makes people feel uncomfortable, too. Specifically, his political rivals—right-wing fundamentalists, mostly (Google “Santorum� for a prime example). As a columnist, activist, host of a popular podcast and author of (most recently) American Savage (Dutton, $29), he’s become a de facto spokesperson for marriage equality, anti-bullying, and, hell, sex positivity in general. It’s a role that’s made him contentious on both sides of the political spectrum. But that’s to be expected: the more you talk to him, the more you realize that he’s a pretty conservative guy for a sex radical.

How important is sex? Sometimes people accuse you of treating sex like it’s the most important thing. Which is ironic because when I tell people that they shouldn’t default to divorce when they’ve been cheated on, I’m making sex less important than the relationship itself, than the marriage, than the children, than the life you’ve shared together. So, when people accuse me of saying sex is so important, and then they’re the ones who are saying sexual exclusivity is the only thing that matters, they’re making sex too important. They’re saying whatever else a marriage or relationship is—children, shared property, shared history, the intermingling of two families, everything that these two people built together, all of that is outweighed by a single blowjob on a business trip. That’s making sex too important. And, yet, at the same time, when you look at the
reasons for divorce, one of the major reasons is sex. Infidelity, bad sex. I get letters all day long, people who are in relationships that are wonderful, loving—for men and women—but the sex isn’t there. What should I do? Well, maybe, the best of all possible worlds is if you are honest about that and if you make your relationship not sexually exclusive, so you aren’t looking to only this person for sex. And you can find some sexual fulfillment elsewhere and stir it in your relationship. Or, maybe, you should fuck around every once and a while and stay married—with men or women. And then I’m the monster. I actually think I’m pretty sexually conservative and pretty traditional. The models I describe are the way real marriages worked for centuries, at least for men. Yet, this shift came in the ’50s when we decided marriage, rightfully so, needed to be egalitarian; there needed to be gender Continued on P.34

Dominik GarciaLorido IS NO DADDY’S GIRL BY GRADY MITCHELL
>
P H O T O : M I C H A E L E D WA R D S
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS AS though young actresses all follow the same starlet playbook. It has more to do with opportunity than it does with passion: you start with some light sci-fi, horror or nudity until you show an aptitude for either comedy or drama and the roles get meatier. Or, if you’re Dominik GarciaLorido, you eschew that path altogether. Dominik’s resume boasts no sitcom laugh tracks or slashed-up horror victims, the actress having opted, instead, for a weighty series of dramatic roles. On Magic City, a show combining the mid-century suavity of Mad Men and the gritty mob drama of The Sopranos, Dominik plays Mercedes Lazaro, a sultry hotel maid with glamorous ambitions: she wants to be a stewardess. (Glamour was different back then.) Obviously, Dominik’s real-world aspirations are somewhat loftier, fueled as they are by the success of her father, Andy Garcia. But inspiration is where the parental help ended. “I’ve worked really hard and I don’t want anyone to think there’s any shortcut,” she says. “You don’t have a special VIP entrance.” But wait, we think, and she cuts us off. “If that were true,” she points out, “I would have made it years ago.” Right now, she’s filming a movie in New Orleans, playing an abused prostitute seeking revenge with the help of Jason Statham. “If it’s something that really sticks with me and I can really personalize it in some way, I just feel I can do a better job,” she says. And then, after thinking a moment, she adds: “Not that I can relate to a hooker.”

KATIN FOR CLUB MONACO $85
GROWN MAN BOARD SHORTS >
WHERE DID BOARD SHORTS GO WRONG? At what point were they led astray, compromised, coerced into abrasive neon designs and baggy, potato sack fits? Back in 1959, the Californian innovators at Katin created the very first surf-specific swimwear—a fitted, handsome pair of canvas trunks sturdy enough to withstand constant battering from the ocean, and a far cry from the gaudy eyesores that line the racks at today’s surf shops. For those of us who wish to ride waves or simply enjoy the beach without looking like a high-school freshman, Katin still makes 'em like they used to: simple, classic and efficient. The brand’s collaborative effort with Club Monaco outfits their iconic beach shorts in an overdyed cotton chambray that’s been stonewashed for gorgeous shades of deep indigo and Baywatch red. Add a perfect not-too-long, not-too-short 16" inseam and a couple of functional pockets, and you’ve got yourself a pair of trunks worthy of a grown man. –YANG-YI GOH

HOW TO PICK A FRAGRANCE
Finding a scent you like can be a confusing endeavour. Here are the most important things to remember at the fragrance counter:
FIRST, don’t be tricked by those strong top notes: they may be the first thing you smell when you spritz, but they fade the fastest. (Noir’s top notes, for example, are watermelon, pesto and mossy basil.) BASE NOTES, meanwhile, are subtle and warmer. Those are the ones you really need to pay attention to since they’ll last the longest on your body.
INTO THE BLACK
With the help of famed designer Christophe Pillet, Lacoste embraces its dark side. BY SCAACHI KOUL
>
AT ONE TIME, LACOSTE WAS BEST KNOWN AS A tennis champion. Then, the name came to represent the quintessential piqué polo, emblazoned with that jaunty alligator on the breast. Now, the name Lacoste is just as likely to make you think of one of the colourful, breezy fragrances that have come to define the brand. This spring, Lacoste not only celebrates its 80th anniversary, but launches the newest iteration in its men's fragrance line: Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Noir. Christophe Pillet, a leading French designer whose extensive international portfolio includes hotels, restaurants and furniture, also designs fragrance bottles for Lacoste, including the flask for Noir.
Does the creative process differ in your various projects? The scale and the process in development of a project is not the same, but it's not different in the idea. The idea is having a product or space, whatever it is, and telling something to
someone. My work is much more similar to the work of a writer or a moviemaker. I am telling stories to people. What do I want to tell people? Sometimes I have a pair of glasses, sometimes I have a sofa, and sometimes I have a discotheque.
54 SHARPFORMEN.COM / JUNE/JULY 2013
What was important about using black for this bottle? Red was talking about energy. The green was more talking about relaxed moods. The blue, like the waterfall. If the white is the iconic, heritage Lacoste universe, this black is dressed-up summer nights. It's cool. It's fresh. What were your inspirations for the bottle design? The idea was defining what's unique in Lacoste. What people like in Lacoste is this iconic, heritage dimension. You don't come to Lacoste to be super trendy. Simplicity is the key. And in an opaque bottle, what's inside is more mysterious.
WHEN you find a fragrance you think you might like, spray it on and walk around for an hour or two. If you can still smell the strong scent of the fragrance, don’t buy it. A fragrance doesn’t have to completely disappear, but it shouldn’t smell like you’re wearing a department store for the entire day. THINK about how the fragrance fits your personality and the occasions to which you’ll be wearing it. Do you want something bright and sporty or deep and spicy? Citrusy or woody? Choose lighter fragrances for summer and casual occasions, heavier ones for winter and formal affairs. BE wary of cheaply made perfumes that fade too early. If your significant other can’t smell your fragrance after a few hours, don’t layer on more: it’s time to find a new one. – SK

WITH A FIERY CRACKLE AND RUDE BARK, a legend is born. In a fairytale forest pulled from the pages of Grimm, full of dark leafless trees, craggy, moss-covered boulders and not much else, a little road winds its way up to the top of some peak in the Pyrenees. We’re in northern Spain, the tarmac is damp, and there’s snow hiding in the shadows. But this blood-red Jaguar is no Little Red Riding Hood. It’s the Big Bad Wolf. Actually, the F-Type is a new sports car from an old company—one that hasn’t built a two-seater in 50 years. You might worry that the firm has forgotten how to do it.

The Great Supercar Wars Of The 21st Century BY MATT BUBBERS
>
There is a cold war brewing over the future of fun on our streets and highways. This year in Switzerland, at the Geneva auto show, this cold war got very hot, very quickly. If you don’t think you have anything at stake in the multi-million dollar supercar wars, trust me, you do. In an unprecedented wave of debuts, three new supercars from the big three supercar makers all broke cover within a matter of hours. Two of them are superhybrids, and one is out there on the lunatic fringes of internal combustion. Supercars, the cars that once made names for themselves by taking up wall space in the teenage bedrooms of the nation, are now facing extinction. Not only does the youth of the world not give much of a shit about Porsche vs. Ferrari, but fuel prices and the realities of climate change are making such machines seem out of date; relics of the ’80s.
64 SHARPFORMEN.COM / JUNE/JULY 2013
But technology trickles down from supercars to coupés and roadsters and GTs and anything else that purports to offer fun on four wheels. If supercars go extinct—if they’re no longer pushing the automotive envelope—then more humble sports cars have nothing to draw upon. And then? Who knows. But at the very least you can bet cars will become a lot less fun. The three automakers who showed us three different visions of the future each hope theirs will prevail. Us? We just want at least one of these three machines to catch on. To hit a nerve. To shine a light. To jumpstart the future. To show us that fun cars—cars built purely for the joy of motoring—have a place in the 21st century. MEET THE COMBATANTS

RUM ME CCA With 350odd years to perfect the stuff, Barbados is home to four distilleries that produce some of the lushest, most complex rum in the world. Mount Gay, the most noteworthy of these, is increasingly pushing the envelope, releasing more labour-intensive, rare rums that elevate the drink on par with Scotch and Cognac in refinement. The tip-top of the pack is 1703, the brainchild of master distiller Allen Smith, who combines rums aged 10 to 30 years for this special blend. But it’s not just about aging. “You can’t just put rum into a barrel for a certain number of years and then call it aged,� Smith says. “Maturity and age are two different things.� We’ll drink to that.

With its 400-year history, mezcal is North America’s oldest distilled liquor. Maybe it’s time to give it another shot. Pun intended. – COLEMAN MOLNAR 76 SHARPFORMEN.COM / JUNE/JULY 2013
INTRODUCING GUINNESS BLACK LAGER
Craft beers offer plenty of variety, but there’s a reason brands like Guinness have been around so long: they’ve got the recipe down to a science. Their newest release, Guinness Black Lager is crafted with darkroasted barley and is strikingly nearly jet-black. Its most prominent notes are chocolate, with a light, roasted malt and coffee finish. At 4.5 per cent alcohol, it’s light bodied and goes down easy, despite its austere appearance.

THERE is something eminently human about Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Just on a physical level, that’s impressive. Because, have you seen him? He was always a wrestling, football-playing, towering mass of manliness, but have you seen him lately, after bulking up even more to play the moral centre of Michael Bay’s dark bodybuilding heist movie, Pain & Gain? The dude is huge. It’s not easy to consider guys of his stature—ones so big they are forever shackled to nicknames like Rock, Moose and Tank—“eminently human.” But, somehow Johnson pulls it off. Ironically, he seems so relatable because, along with inhuman biceps, The Rock has inhuman levels of charisma. Certainly his facility with humour, classical handsomeness and surprising eloquence don’t hurt. But it’s more than that. He’s a hero who doesn’t pretend. Consider the recent and oft-retweeted picture of Johnson in the hospital, mugging for the camera in a post-surgery gown. Any man who can take three hernial tears with grace and humour is a man you can respect. You want that guy to succeed. And he has. His success isn’t what’s surprising though. If you followed the guy as a wrestler back in the ’90s and early aughts, you knew that he had something. Wrestlers have been called the best one-take actors there are, and yet, very few of them have been able to translate that skill into a film career, despite some horrible tries (see sidebar, page 87). The Rock though, he did it. Maybe it’s because his character was less a character, and more a ball of masculine charisma. He was a presence. And somehow that presence translated to the big screen. For The Scorpion King, he earned the highest-ever paycheque for an actor in his first starring role. Was that a good movie? It was not. In fact, many of his movies since then have been pretty bad. But that proves our point. The Rock might never become a great actor—though he is definitely improving—and his movies, many of them big and dumb, some of them intentionally so, may never win critical plaudits, but that doesn’t really matter. No other actor could have the career that Johnson has had. No one could manage to surprise us so regularly. No one could do a forgettable G.I. Joe sequel, then earn the brightest praise in an otherwise panned Pain & Gain. No one could move from kid movies to action to comedies like he does. No one could survive the professional whiplash and remain so damn likeable. Only The Rock. His greatest strength is his charm. His big, massive charm. It’ll crush you.

THE LONG VACATION PAVEL KULISEK SPENT THREE YEARS IN A MEXICAN PRISON WITHOUT A TRIAL AFTER MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE WRONG NEIGHBOURS BY T O D D C OY N E } I L LU S T R AT I O N BY J O E M O R S E
HIS HOLIDAY IN MEXICO WAS OVER. In the end, it was something about process and a lack of evidence; Pavel Kulisek doesn’t quite remember. Whatever the reason, the precise patter, the bureaucratese, his ordeal was over. That’s what the ambassador whispered between the bars. “It’s over.” For three and a half years, Pavel shared a filthy latrine and fewer than 18 cubic metres with convicted killers who would habitually boast of their murderous talents. But, today, the 47-year-old father from North Vancouver will leave a Mexican jail free and clean. Few accused narco-traffickers do. A few days later, Pavel boards a morning flight from Mexico City to Vancouver International Airport, the white sand beaches of Baja now a pale memory, seared away by the skullnumbing violence of life behind the walls of the Mexican justice system. He was wearing state-issued steel bracelets the last time he was on a plane. The government was even paying. His khaki shorts, V-neck t-shirt and tan flip-flops stood in stark relief to the thuggish black tactical gear of the military guards aboard. Nearly a hundred armed police awaited his touchdown on the sweltering tarmac, waiting to watch a stage-managed morning perp walk before the international media. But this time things are different. There are still police and a handful of reporters. But there’s also his loving wife, Jirina, waiting with their daughters, Annie, 7, and Isabella, 9. They’d all grown up a lot in 1,256 days.

WHEN HE WAS A CHILD in Soviet-ruled Czechoslovakia, Pavel used to stare at Mexico on his classroom globe. Specifically, he trained his eye on the long thumb of land of Baja California down the country’s west coast. He mistakenly assumed it was part of America. Many years later, and much wiser in geography, Pavel snuck his young wife, Jirina, out under the Iron Curtain and headed for Canada. Arriving in Vancouver, Pavel worked installing cable and doing minor carpentry before breaking into the booming West Coast real-estate trade; specifically, building and renovating high-end homes. The couple eventually earned enough for a modest home of their own in a picturesque North Vancouver neighbourhood. And with a family on the way and his boyhood Baja California dream never far from his thoughts, Pavel bought an RV. “It was always my wish before the kids were in school to just go on a nice holiday with them,” he says across the kitchen table he bought two lifetimes ago. After closing a particularly lucrative deal on a custom home in pre-bust 2007, Pavel put it to his family to take a year’s holiday in the sun. Their destination? The quaint land’s-end pueblo of Los Barriles, a Baja town popular with Canadian and American ex-pats. The girls packed their bags and two days after Valentine’s Day, Pavel turned the big wheel of the motorhome south onto hwy. 99 for the Washington State border. From there, the buzzing I-5 uncoils down the coast to Tijuana like 2,200 kilometres of black flypaper. JUNE/JULY 2013 / SHARPFORMEN.COM 95

Naked Famous Japanese Kabuki Print Shirt
