You show up jet-lagged at his front door in Seattle, Dave Matthews will hand-press you a really good cup of coffee. The beans are local, from a shop he loves, where his favorite barista never serves him a to-go latte without first adding a little latte-art penis on top of the foam. Which makes me feel pretty special, Matthews says with a grin. ¶ Today Dave Matthews is wearing a dark Western-cut flannel, Sk8-Hi Vans with tube socks, and some tactical-looking cargo pants that could be from Target but might also be some high-end tactical-pant brand that only he and maybe Bono are up on. (Hard to say with tactical pants.) In person, Matthews-who turned 56 in January is like a supermodel, in that he looks severely, stoically beautiful from one or two angles and weird from at least two others. His hairline is hanging in there, its decadeslong retreat seemingly halted near the equator of his skull.
Nobody is ever like, Seattle musician Dave Matthews..., but he's lived here parttime for over 20 years. He moved to town in 2001 so his wife, Ashley, could study naturopathic medicine. Put three kids-two daughters and a son-through school here. Roots for the Seahawks. His house is nice but not, like, drug-lord nice. You wouldn't peg it as a deconsecrated church from outside, but that's what it is, hence the vaulted ceilings in the living room, which used to be the nave. My son and I throw footballs in there now, Matthews says.

Why Does Everyone Have Big, Fake White Teeth Now? - Veneers were once a dirty secret. Now they're the new luxury status symbol, and the famous and wealthy are flocking to Hollywood's favorite dentist in search of ever more perfect teeth.
Early one afternoon in August, at his office on the ninth floor of the Camden Medical Arts building in Beverly Hills, Dr. Kevin Sands slipped on a black surgical mask and latex gloves before peering into the mouth of a sleeping princess. Instead of standard medical scrubs, he wore black Amiri slacks, a matching James Perse T-shirt, and Nike sneakers designed by Travis Scott. On his left wrist was a Patek Philippe Aquanaut with a khaki green dial and matching strap. The watch cost just over $50,000, which is about a third of what her royal highness was paying to have 28 perfect-looking cosmetically enhanced teeth restored with a new set of handmade porcelain crowns and veneers.
'90s-Inspired Sneakers Have Never Looked This Fresh - The 1990s, a golden era for fashion and sport, left an indelible mark on global culture. It was a decade of high-flying slam dunks and superstar athletes with runway-worthy personal style.
The 1990s, a golden era for fashion and sport, left an indelible mark on global culture. It was a decade of high-flying slam dunks and superstar athletes with runway-worthy personal style. The sport-style sneaker, once confined to the court, made its way to the streets, becoming a style staple of everyday life. With its enduring influence, this historic moment continues to shape fashion choices of the supremely stylish, even today. It's this beloved nostalgia for the past that inspired the latest sneaker from Golden Goose: the cutting-edge yet perfectly retro Forty2.
