Dressing like a male model is as much about rocking a popular style as it is about feeling comfortable with how you look. If you need a little inspiration, go to some style blogs, sites, or even Pinterest to see what appeals to you.  Sites like GQ, Esquire, and Fashion Beans are full of what’s currently trending and offer you style tips.  To dress like a male model, your look should have some basics that are versatile and show off your style. Items you should have in your closet: A suit, jeans, chinos, button downs, plain t-shirt, sweater, dress shoes, boots, and sneakers.  If you like the preppier look, go with colorful items. Opt for more chinos than jeans; oxford button downs over lighter woven cotton. If you’re opting more for the street style, then stock your wardrobe with different shades of the same color. Opt for jeans over chinos and trousers, and a slimmer fit. Men have an array of body types, knowing what fits on your’s is crucial to looking great. Clothes that fit your body correctly can make you seem taller, thinner, broader, or more evenly proportioned.  If you have broader shoulders and a smaller waist, go with straight or slim cut pants to balance out your proportions. V-neck shirts will help narrow your chest, balancing your body out. When it’s time to wear a jacket or blazer, an unstructured one with slim lapels will widen your torso, without adding too much volume to your shoulders. If you have wider hips and narrower shoulders, focus on straight cut clothing that fits closely to your body. When wearing a blazer, a well structured, single-breasted one will broaden your shoulders and slim your torso. Getting clothes that fit you correctly involves more than just wearing the right size. You have to factor in how the cut of a garment works with your body type as well. Consult a personal stylist to give you advice on what types of colors, cuts, and styles fit your body type the best. Don’t wear something just because you like how it looks. If it doesn’t look good on you, then it’s not right. From accessories to the patterns on your socks, getting the finer points right makes a huge difference. Add the right finishing touches and you’ll look like you stepped right off the runway.  Roll up your jeans and pair them with something as simple as a nice t-shirt, colorful socks, and some loafers for a stylish look that pops. The right tie, socks, belts, and shoes tie your whole outfit together. Stick to similar colors and patterns, i.e., brown belt and brown shoes. If you feel so inclined, add some bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. Just don’t overdo it. Smaller items are meant to be small statement pieces, not in the foreground.

Summary: Find your look. Get the right fit. Get the details right.


Lick your lips so that they aren’t too dry. It will make him more likely to want to French kiss you if your lips look moist. Use chap stick or lip balm.   It’s probably best if you close your eyes for most of the kiss. It’s a little unnerving to most people if the person they are kissing is staring at them all of the time. Open your lips while French kissing.  Angle your head to one side so that your noses don’t bump into each other. It’s usually a good idea to start with other kisses rather than immediately French kissing him. Never forget that you’re not the only one who’s nervous or a little insecure. He probably is too! So if he’s not taking the hint but seems into kissing you, you can initiative the French kiss yourself.  Start by gently pushing the tip of your tongue into your partner’s mouth in order to assess his interest. If he doesn’t pull away, that’s your signal. Now find the tip of his tongue with your tongue. Gently brush against it with your tongue. That’s it! You’re French kissing! Once you’ve started the French kiss by touching each other’s tongues, if both are receptive, you can deepen the kiss.  French kissing is very intimate and a way to bond with your boyfriend. Simply move your tongue deeper into your partner’s mouth to make more contact. A good kiss is a long one in which both tongues are touching.  Thrust your tongue into his mouth with a little bit more forcefulness. If he’s as passionate about you as you are with him, he will likely move his tongue deeper into your mouth too, touching your tongue with his.

Summary: Moisten your lips. Start French kissing him first. Deepen the kiss.


Get out a 9 x 12-inch (22 x 30-cm) baking dish and rub 1 tablespoon of butter over the bottom and insides to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Set the dish aside while you prepare the potatoes. Once you've sliced all of the potatoes and put them in the bowl, slowly pour the warm cream mixture over the slices. Use your hands or a spoon to toss the potatoes in the mixture so they're completely coated. Use the spoon to push the potato slices down. This way the cream should cover most of the potato slices. Scatter 3 ounces (85 g) of shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes. Place the baking dish in the center rack of the preheated oven. Set a baking sheet on the rack that's underneath it to catch any drips. Bake the potatoes until they're soft when you insert and remove a fork. The cream mixture should bubble and the cheese will brown once it's finished cooking. If the potatoes are still firm, cook them for 15 minutes and check them again. Turn off the oven and let the au gratin potatoes sit for 5 to 10 minutes before you serve them. This will make it easier to handle them and the liquid will thicken a little as it cools. Serve the au gratin potatoes with sliced ham, greens, or roasted vegetables. Store the leftover au gratin potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 375 °F (191 °C) and grease a baking dish. Mix the potato slices with the cream mixture. Transfer the potato mixture to the dish and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake the au gratin potatoes for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve the au gratin potatoes.
