Slam Magazine Recommends the Leadon in Blue Ginham
Slam Magazine Recommends The Leadon from Longshot Apparel. While the caption says, Lawson, which is also a great shirt, the shirt featured is the Leadon in Blue Gingham. A must have 
for Spring 2012!
Blake Griffin has been pushing this for a while now with some funny TV spots. Am I the only one who think he looks like Little Orphan Annie made over for hoops? There, I said it. It would be different if he wasn’t wearing the iconic red sweatsuit. How do you guys feel about driving KIAs? There’s a few on them on the road these days and I’ve stared a few minutes too long to see if it was maybe a Hyundai. But I wouldn’t drive it.
Perhaps the Hyundai 3-door Veloster is more your style. One tall person, laying at a diagonal – now what a concept if you really want to fit in it.
I happened across a debate over which side the TP should hang – only on the internet could this ever happen. Thanks to a favorite design site Apartment Therapy, the vote is on. Amongst the fabulous toilet images was this one. No matter what height you could have some pretty stellar access. This made me laugh thinking back to days at my boyfriend’s apartment – being super tall at 6’7″ he had mounted the TP roll at his perfect grab and go height. For my purposes it was a great place to lean the side of my head against if I was still half asleep or having a slow day of it. Any others in the same boat out there?
This is the dunk unleashed from Blake Griffin last night. I don’t even think I can do the splits like that on the floor.
. What caught my attention was dudes running around with little clips and foil papers in their hair. When I have those I the salon, I’m so not that cool. The prim and properly of all these Adonises can give fellas a complex over a whole lot of nothing in my book. Guys don’t need to be dewy and romantic. But handsome, styled, well-groomed and wearing proper-fitting clothing – for sure. Watch at your own peril but it will give you a good chuckled. In our Longshot Apparel opinion, stay classic, add a little personal flair and get shirts that fit you well. No amount of makeup can come close to achieving that!

People in positions of power feel taller, according to researchers. A series of experiments by American researchers found that there is a relationship between feelings of power and our self-perception of height. According to the research, from Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), in New York, there is a physical experience that goes with feeling powerful.
Professor Goncalo said: ‘Although a great deal of research has shown that physically imposing individuals are more likely to acquire power, this work is the first to show that the powerful may actually feel taller than they are.
‘Using different manipulations of power and measures of perceived height, we found that people literally perceived themselves as taller when they occupied a more powerful position.
‘Are world leaders less able to feel empathy and relate to the “little people” because they literally feel bigger?
The research involved three experiments, where 266 men and women were assigned a video game avatar as a way of exploring the relationship between the psychological and physical experiences of power.The findings are to be published in an upcoming issue of scientific journal Psychological Science.

Charles and Ray Eames were a brilliant design force. And who hasn’t seen the classic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman? I’ve always been like “Yeah, right…there’s another one of those lounge chairs.” But something clicked in my brain this weekend and I’ve come to realize this is the perfect chair not only for a 5’8″ woman like myself but for men who are tall. My good friends Christoph and Michael happened to purchase the Eames Lounge set during the big Herman Miller sale in December. With an extra 20% savings they scored the chair for something in the $3k range. In comparison to their native Germany, it’s a steal. After the special visit on Saturday to see the new Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman the ottoman component might be the most brilliant feature ever invented for tall men. And the leather and styling is breathtaking in person – so much better in a home environment then on the showroom floor, hotel lobby or issue of Atomic Ranch. Well, this is now in my sites for 2012. Maybe our next Longshot photo shoot prop budget? Mark and Sally will have to Indian leg wrestle me for it!
The Palm Springs retreat offered up a number a classic car sitings that are worthy of a posting on the Stand Tall site. When something is well-crafted and built with care it has the ability to last and be cherished – albeit by the classic car owner or a passer by on a cruiser bike much like myself. You simply cannot pass this classics without stopping to appreciate them. Check out these breathtaking beauties. Not sure which is my favorite. I could see myself in all three. Now this is design meant to last for decades.
We’ve noticed this and so has every other media entity. As the Huffington Post puts it Charles Barkley, the “Round Mound of Rebound” looks terrific, right? Ever since the NBA Hall of Famer became the spokesman for Weight Watchers’ “Lose Like a Man” campaign, he has lost 38 pounds (and counting). Barkley has been going on shows like “The Daily Show” and “Conan” to endorse the program. Judging by his svelte — by Barkley’s standards — figure, the program is working.
Barkley is so pleased with the results that he can’t really believe he’s getting paid to drop a few pounds. While calling the TNT broadcast of Thursday night’s Heat-Hawks triple overtime game with Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan, Barkley was caught during a commercial break mocking his endorsement deal.
“I’ve been on weight watchers three months. I have to lose two pounds a week. I’m at 38 pounds now. They come and weigh me every two weeks. I ain’t never missed a weigh-in. Never going to… I’m feeling much better. But I ain’t giving away no money. I’m not giving away no free money. I thought this was the greatest scam going — getting paid for watching sports — this Weight Watchers thing is a bigger scam.”
Oh Charles. But hey, it’s to be expected right? WW and Charles are still on good terms. It’s not like he “Tigered” it or anything. But nonetheless the cool thing is that men are finally a focusing in this New Year’s seesaw of weight loss resolutions. It’s great to think that maybe one day more of America’s tall guys will actually be tall & fit and ready to wear something that is more like a great fitting shirts from Longshot Apparel vs. those typically big and tall tents.
