Celebrity Spa Arrest: Jimmy Fallon

Celebrity Suspect: Jimmy Fallon

Case: Late night funny man Jimmy Fallon is hosting the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards this Sunday. We’re sure he’s under a considerable amount of pressure to live up to the appeal of last year’s host, Neil Patrick Harris, and beat the tough comparisons of fellow late night cohorts, Letterman, Leno and Conan. To ensure a successful run as Emmy host, Jimmy needs you all to tweet him. For the first time ever, during the show’s the telecast the host will be responding to tweets. Just tweet him @jimmyfallon.

Spa Treatment Sentence: Jimmy definitely needs to get in the zone an look his best. Jimmy, you’re sentenced to the whole she-bang at Spa Xanadu in Los Angeles: A 60 Min Massage (great for calming nerves before a big event) a 60 Min Facial (glowing skin is the #1 trick to looking good on camera) a deluxe Mani-Pedi (you never know if your Emmy host will take off his shoes) and an Eyebrow Wax (because HD shows everything).

If you could use the royal Emmy treatment too, do it on the cheap. All this and more is in this month’s spa deals.

5 Min Q&A: Stylish Upkeep with The Grungy Gentleman

A gentleman always holds the door. If we’re lucky, he holds jewelry too. But if we’re REALLY lucky, a gentleman holds the key to maintaining the perfect mix of proper grooming and guy-ish grunge. Meet Jace, the creator of hot new men’s fashion blog Grungy Gentleman, who, based on his editorials, seems to have gotten most of it down to a science. As a New Yorker working in fashion, he sheds light on his personal style and how to not only look cool, but how to keep cool in the summertime. No socks, no pedicures, no shame.

Spa Week Daily: A lot of men think the spa is a girly thing. What do you have to say about that?

Grungy Gentleman: I enjoy getting massages and why not? They’re relaxing! Tell the dudes who say that to go to the spa at the Hotel de Arts in Barcelona. Ask them if they think that’s girly.

SWD: Dry, crackly feet are just not cute on anyone—even men. Do you think men should get pedicures?

GG: I think men should have a certain level of masculinity to them. I have a never had a pedicure before. A couple of my friends get manicures though. I have never really thought about either of the two. I rather just say it’s not for me.

(We think he should try it. Men are prone to blisters, calluses and oooh athlete’s foot.)

SWD: Thom Browne is the king of shorts, but most men look ridiculous in them. There’s always a risky chance of channeling a bag pipe player or a nerdy golfer. What length or style do you suggest for men who want to look fashionable and keep cool in the summer?

GG: Thom Browne is a genius. Can’t knock anything about him at all. I prefer my shorts a bit longer than what he shows in his collection. My shorts are always above the knee. Avoid bagginess and pair it with a Thom Browne oxford and you can’t go wrong.

SWD: When it comes to business wear in the summer time, men aren’t so lucky.  Since the options are so limited, what’s the #1 tip you have for men surviving a heat wave in a business suit?

GG: I wear no socks. I store away my wingtips and rock Sperry Top Sider x Band of Outsiders Loaders. Get your pants tailored so they just fall above the ankle.

SWD: Okay, we had to ask. Do you wear Old Spice?

GG: NO.

Celebrity Spa Arrest: Cristiano Ronaldo

Celebrity Suspect: Cristiano Ronaldo

Case: For the last two weeks, the whole world has been caught up in the shirtless adventures of the World Cup. If you’re a devoted fan of futbol, or just tuned in to root for your home team, the one name you have to know, second in popularity to David Bechkam, is Cristiano Ronaldo. Up until now, we just drooled over his Armani underwear campaign, and this week we finally had the chance to see what the captain of the Portuguese soccer team had to work with (on the field.) Check out this video of his reckless dive against the Ivory Coast. The game ended in a deadlock 0-0.

Sentence: A dive is frowned upon in soccer talk and viewed as a cheap move for a player to maintain the ball, but with the stakes so high can you really blame him? We’re sending Cristiano to Lux Spa and Fitness to get a Arnica & Rosemary Muscle Melt. This treatment will warm and stimulate his muscles which helps to reduce soreness, swelling, & bruising. From the looks of that clip, he’s going to need it.
