- Like a man who’s secure in his own masculinity, it’s obviously male without trying so hard.

Examiner’s Sali Oguri has reviewed the Zirh Ikon, a new fragrance for men, and she’s sold. She loves it so much that she wants her man to wear it. Now that’s a good review, Zirh!

I’m convinced IKON is destined to become a new classic because it’s so easy to wear (even as a woman, I’m enjoying sampling it…although it is a bit “guy’s skin – piney” for me). I love that the lemon note mingles with the sensual davana flower and lasts very well, and how as the scent wears on, the scent stays fresh and dry. The final dry down stage reveals some warm incense notes, giving it a touch of Oriental seductive flair without going the heavy, headshop way. This is the perfect all-occasion, all season scent, the “little black dress (kilt?)” of Men’s fragrances. It can be casual or professional, and smells mild, clean, sexy and delicious. I want to get this one for my guy, too!

- On Thursday I became one of those men who has Botox injected into his forehead

Not me, of course. I would never let anyone inject poison into my body, unless I was terminally ill and the poison would help. This title is a quote from Todd Babiak over at Edmonton Journal. After reading his article, and learning that Clint Eastwood probably have had Botox injections, I still don’t know why he would do such a stupid thing. Wrinkles are not a flaw. Period.

Clark has received two Botox injections, but doesn’t suffer from peer-related anxieties. This may be because he is very tall and built like Conan the Barbarian; it is difficult to imagine a sane redneck questioning his masculinity.

“I spend a lot of time in the gym, eating well, taking supplements” he said. “The most I ever did was slap some sunscreen on. But I see a real difference already. If I can prevent wrinkles later, with Botox now, it makes perfect sense. It’s that stigma handed down from generations of our fathers, that you don’t cry, you don’t get pedicures. Things have changed.” Clark raised his eyebrows. There were no wrinkles.

I had always thought of myself as one of those men who would go through life without having Botox injected into his forehead. On Thursday I became one of those men who has Botox injected into his forehead.

Recently, David Hasselhoff admitted, joyously, to receiving Botox injections.

He accused Clint Eastwood of doing the same. Simon Cowell, the American Idol judge, seemed shocked two years ago when a reporter asked him if he’d enjoyed some non-surgical enhancements.

“I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way,” Cowell said. “Then again, every guy I know who works in the city has had it now.” Even Clint.
