The Lisa Porter Collection

 A man's personal male attendant, responsible

for his clothes, appearance, and manners.

  

A rack or stand to hang clothing. A box to

store a man's wallet, watches, and jewelry.

      

The MR. does not have a valet, he has a chair,

near the closet, which he uses, but not to sit on.

is also an online men's lifestyle publication.

"Updated daily, Valet offers news on fashion,

grooming and culture--in a mix of both aspirational

and approachable price-points.

 

Crafted especially for the 21st-century gentleman,

women can (and do) appreciate our charms too."

I have to admit, this was supposed to be a

Son's birthday / Father's Day / MR's

birthday/tribute

but I got a bit wound up in all the celebrating &

the time slipped by.  But still, look at some of the neat guy "stuff" that I found!

I've grown to appreciate guy stuff.

Maybe it's because my daughter and I live with two guys and we think they're neat keepers! 

 

This is something that CNP & his best friend

SDC would decide to do if they got bored in

the middle of the night!

I like 

"Valet's growing reference guide of helpful style tips,

last-minute tricks and ingenious instructions for a wide

range of the modern man's dilemmas."

 

Like... how to find a good barber,

& secrets to the

perfect wet shave.

 

The Etiquette Handbook will even tell him

how to pronounce designer

names!

I don't want your MR. to get snubbed by some

snarky sales girl for messing up

Ann Demeulemeester

or Veronique Branquinho.

Now, how about his clothes?

The Clothes Handbook will help him

decipher his clothes' care labels.

"The 'care instructions,' as they're referred to, don't do

much instructing, so please allow us to decode and then

offer real-world translations."

 

Next, to baseball and barbeque, there's no

greater American summer ritual than (anyone)

washing my car.

 

The Car Handbook at Valet has a tutorial on how to Detail Your Car (in 15 minutes).

Evidently, pre-treating is the key!

I wish! 

At there are also wonderful articles

written about fascinating men & their stuff, like

this one about a Rolex that belonged to

Sir Edmund Hillary.

It was discovered on Mt. Everest!

  

Thanks for sticking around & reading my

a belated tribute to my guys.

Oh and one more thing -

If your MR. could use a solid, masculine

piece of furniture with a dash of Kennedy-era

cool. One that will not only help him stay organized, but keep his clothes fresh and the dry cleaning bills down.

Here is a beauty I

found at 1st dibs!
