Life Lessons from Mr. Porter: How To Mix a Mean Martini and Undress a Man

Life Lessons from Mr. Porter: How To Mix a Mean Martini and Undress a Man

Last night, Mr. Porter (Net-a-Porter.com’s brother site) promised that they and “a few dashing friends” would make us “wish [we] were a guy… at least for an evening.” And while I wouldn’t necessarily say that was my exact reaction upon leaving the event, it was certainly an experience. The setting was reminiscent of a dimly-lit whiskey lounge frequented in Mad Men, though most of the ‘dashing friends’ looked more Chuck Bass than Don Draper (not that we’re complaining).

Scattered amongst the cocktail-bearing guests were various “classes” being taught by some gorgeous gents, meant to show us women folk how to be more like men. Or, how to please our men with our manly skills. Or, how to show our men how to be more like the real men they should be. Even if the closest thing to a man in my life right now is a betta fish named Banana. Whatever.

So, looking to share some gentlemanly tips with the men in your life? Here are some of the best ones we picked up over the course of the evening:

Last Night’s Party: Band of Outsiders Screens Meatballs in a Cemetery, Joel Madden Is ‘Creeped Out’

LOS ANGELES–The famed Hollywood Forever cemetery played host to quite the quintessential all-American hipster summer soiree on Wednesday night as cool kids Joel Madden, Andrew Garfield, Sarah Silverman, Jenny Lewis, Scott Sternberg, George Kotsiopoulos and more gathered to fete Band of Outsiders, Net-a-Porter and Mr. Porter.

To set the tone, plenty of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, RC Cola and warm weather fare (meatball sandwiches, potato chips, macaroni salad and more) were served up to the stylish crowd of industry insiders mingling amongst tombstones and morbid memorial sites.

“The cemetery totally creeps me out, but I came anyway to support the brand,” laughed Madden, carrying his personal picnic basket while scouting out a supreme spot on the grounds to watch the screening of the classic 1979 film Meatballs, starring Bill Murray. “They have been doing basic before anyone else. Now basic is actually very big, but Band of Outsiders was years ahead. They just do it right.”
