I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Derek DeSpain. I’m twenty-4 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
Sike… Christian Bale circa 2000? American Psycho? Yeahhh, now you remember (if not, get with the program).
Since my current move from Newport Beach, CA, I’m couch surfing across West Hollywood. There are about ten houses on every street up for rent. The problem is I’m very, VERY picky. There are certain things I look for in a house; clean lines, concrete floors, dark wood, white walls and stainless steel appliances, characteristics from my taste in interior design tend to show through in my everyday fashion.
Since I’ve been dressing myself, color has never been an option. I’m a minimalist. Black, white, maybe a bit of grey. I like my pants dark, old and worn. My tops long, drapey and thin. I tend to get a lot of style influences from fashion designers such as Hedi Slimane, Yves Saint Laurent and Rick Owens. For all the fashion forward kids, looking for the perfect addition to their denim collection, the Bullhead Dillon Skinny (Jet Black) is the perfect fit when pairing with tops from these designers and designers alike. Skinny with a slim fit and comfortable, casual style. Dillons can be dressed up with some leather boots or worn down with some
simple chucks.
