| Posted: 09 Jun 2019 08:05 AM PDT Step inside the newest shop in Oldtown and you'll find cool colors, dark woods, and an array of button-downs, jeans, overnight bags and accessories draped over coat hangers, folded on tables or displayed on built-in bookcases. The men's clothing shop in Salinas, aptly named 831 For Men, sells a mix of casual, work, and athletic apparel, which proprietor Tina Gularte said has been sorely needed for years. Gularte's background lies in produce; she's worked for Pro-Act, Church Brothers, and Muzzi Family Farms over the course of her 20-year career. Her store, she said, is designed for the white-collar workers in Salinas she comes into contact with on a daily basis. "I was just ready to make a change," she said. "I just kind of felt it was time for a new chapter and I thought: what can I bring to Salinas that's different? "There hasn't been anything just for guys in Salinas since the '80s. I thought the guys in this town just needed somewhere to shop so they don't have to drive all the way to Carmel or Del Monte. "We have so much to offer down here," said Gularte of Oldtown. "It's really come along. I think that Oldtown, there's so much that (people) can do down here, and the city is revitalizing it. "I think we have the opportunity to really make something." 831 opened in early June, just in time for the U.S. Open and Father's Day, a deadline Gularte worked hard to meet. There are plenty of accessories or trinkets for people looking for a gift of appreciation for Father's Day, she said. Furthermore, Gularte wanted to be ready for what she hopes will be an uptick in foot traffic in Oldtown driven by golf enthusiasts, both Salinas residents and tourists in town to escape the Monterey traffic or snag a deal on a hotel room. The U.S. Open will take place from June 13-16 on the Peninsula's popular Pebble Beach, and features a $12.5 million purse, according to the tournament website. About a quarter of a million people are expected to attend the popular golf tournament, according to the California Highway Patrol, which is being held at Pebble Beach for the first time since 2010. "I thought if I got these golf lines in here, the guys would be able to put together an outfit so they could go out to the tournament," she said. "But (I also wanted) just to bring new brands to Salinas." 831 carries only a few brands, like Mercy & Loyal, Travis Mathew, Linksoul, Mavi Jeans, Normal Brand, FishHippie, and others Gularte selected herself, based on firsthand research and discussions with owners of other menswear shops. The average 831 customer can expect to drop between $130 and $200 on an outfit. Jeans run roughly $100 a pair, while t-shirts can range between $25 and $60, and button-downs ring up for a mean of about $70. Gone are the days of suit-and-tie combos at work, and Gularte is hoping to catch some customers with the business casual vibe she's chosen for her store. Thank you!

"It's what everybody's wearing to work: Khakis, jeans, casual shirts." Customer David Tonus checked out the store for the first time Saturday, based on his wife's recommendation. He was intrigued by the men's shop, of which there are few in town and made a beeline for a few pieces. "She'd done some pre-shopping for me," he said, referring to his wife. "She knows what I complain about when I'm dressing -- what I do have, what I don't have." Although he walked away empty-handed, he noted there were a few items in the store that fit the description of clothes he was looking to add to his wardrobe. 831 For Men is located at 246 S.

| Scarborough Jokes About Manafort Being Locked Up in Rikers Island Hellhole - NewsBusters Posted: 10 Jun 2019 06:13 AM PDT  The liberal media feigns horror over "lock her up" refrains. But when it comes to a Trump associate actually being locked up in a notoriously awful jail, well, that's a cause for mirth and hilarity. And thus it was that on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough joked about Paul Manfort being confined at Rikers Island, which has been described as a "hellhole," as here, here, and "the most notorious jail in America." Here's how it came down:
Jonathan Lemire of AP/MSNBC, in questioning Leonnig about the expenditures, cited the reported $275,000 spent at a men's clothing store for LaPierre. Lemire jokingly said that LaPierre dresses better than he does. That set off a string of joking insults from the panel about the way Lemire dresses. Leonnig, in turn, came to Lemire's defense, saying he looked "fine." At the end of the segment, there was more ribbing by the panel of Lemire's clothes. Meacham facetiously spoke of "the Paul Manafort Collection." Responded Scarborough: "available at Rikers Island." The panel found that amusing, with laughter all around. A regular laugh riot, that Joe. Wonder if he's ever visited Rikers? Keep this one in mind next time you hear Scarborough or another member of the liberal media expressing righteous indignation about "lock her up." Here's the transcript. Click "expand" to read more.

| Billy Porter Challenges Gender Norms on the Tonys Red Carpet - The New York Times Posted: 09 Jun 2019 06:04 PM PDT  Billy Porter has been shutting down red carpets all year, cutting through seas of traditional gowns and tuxes in gender-bending, head-turning garments. In January, he owned the Oscars' red carpet in an enormous, perfectly tailored tuxedo gown. In May, at the Met Gala, he wore a bodysuit dripping in gold with massive golden wings, and a 24-karat-gold headpiece. He was carried by six shirtless men in gold trousers. The Tony Awards red carpet on Sunday was no different, except this time Mr. Porter wasn't alone in challenging gender norms. ["Hadestown triumphed at the Tony Awards.] Some expressions were subtle — Jeremy Pope, the star of "Choir Boy" and "Ain't Too Proud," and Michael Urie, the star of "High Button Shoes," wore suits adorned with ruffles — but others, like Mr. Porter's, were undeniable. Mr. Porter wore the literal embodiment of Broadway: the red velvet curtain that once rose and fell on stage for the entirety of his Tony-winning "Kinky Boots." He starred in more than 1,000 shows before the musical closed in April. Image  The hand-sewn Elizabethan gown, which incorporated plenty of pink, was created by Celestino Couture — the designer Sergio Guadarrama and the creative director Cade Johnson — which works with upcycled fabrics. The gown includes thousands of embroidered flower clusters, a corseted bodice and a skirt that mimics a bloom, opening to a pair of cigarette pants also made from the curtain. "I want to flip the question of what it means to be a man," Mr. Porter told The New York Times in the week leading up to the event. The gown also came with a built-in (well, sewn-in) message: an embroidered uterus to represent "empowering women's reproductive rights" — a suggestion made by Mr. Guadarrama. In January, ahead of the Golden Globes, Mr. Porter told The Times that he realized he had always had a "gender-fluid sensibility" with clothes. "It was so squashed by homophobia," he said. Mr. Porter stars as Pray Tell from the FX series "Pose," which employs a large cast of mostly queer and transgender actors. On Sunday's red carpet, Mr. Porter, who's presenting at the Tonys for the first time, said: "I'm not doing it for show. It's inside of me. It's who I am." "It's great to have been given a second shot for mainstream success," he went on. Of the rainbow of flowers that served as a backdrop to the red carpet for L.G.B.T.Q. Pride Month, Mr. Porter said: "It's about the community coming together. It's about us understanding that we're not free until we're all free." Another dramatic entrance on Sunday was that of Taylor Mac, the maestro of the play "Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus." Mac first saw the gown — made up of strips of red, yellow, blue and purple fabric — on Saturday. It was designed by a longtime collaborator, the costume designer Matthew Flower, a.k.a. Machine Dazzle. Around Mac's shoulder was a metal, sparkling shawl in a squared, spiral pattern. Mac also wore a full face of theatrical makeup and a shimmering multicolored head piece that resembled a fountain, calling the look "Greek, Roman inspired." A performance artist who was nominated this year for "Gary" (it opened in April), Mac has long snubbed traditional notions of gender and uses "judy" as a pronoun. "I don't think there are any rules other than the ones you set for yourself," Mac said on the red carpet. "I spent too many years being a cater waiter to enjoy wearing a tux. If there's an opportunity to present art to the world, you should take it." Jordan Roth, a prominent Broadway theater owner and producer, wore an outfit that was fiery red from head to toe, including a floor-length red sequin cape. It was created by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy and inspired by the musical "Hadestown." He said he sees his red carpet appearances as "short performance pieces" that allow him to express who he is. Mr. Roth said that these days there are fewer rules governing gender expression at these high-profile events — but only if you allow yourself to go against the grain when it comes to apparel. "The strongest rules come from within and those are the hardest to break," he said, "Every time you do, it gets easier and it feels better and better."  |
