Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys / Last Shadow Puppets Voted One Of Esquire’s 40 Best Dressed Men In The World
(from esquire.co.uk)
The Arctic Monkeys frontman is but a shadow (puppets; last of) of his former self, a million miles from the indie rock scruff that emerged back in 2006. As the command of his on-stage persona has developed, so too has his style, and it’s admirable.

What Are the “Sex Bases” Actually?
A new survey tried to figure out the “sex bases.” The consensus is: First base is kissing . . . second base is touching private areas but not genitalia . . . third base is hands below the belt . . . and a home run is sex. The survey also found that 74% of people learned about the bases from their friends or from TV . . . but 1% learned from their parents. And the average age they learned about them was between 11 and 15.
