Just because you haven’t heard of Guy B doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give him a listen. The openly gay (and very handsome) musician’s latest CD, Within Me, is full of R&B-lite tunes that may recall Justin Timberlake—and that’s all to be said on that subject. ($9.99; cdbaby.com/cd/guyb)
TIME WILL REVEAL
Philip Stein Teslar watches are not only gorgeous—they’re reportedly good for you. Invented in 1986, the Teslar technology was designed to emit a signal that strengthens your body’s own elecromagnetic energy field, resulting in improved concentration and more restful sleep. If that’s not enough, Oprah recently selected the watch as one of her favorite things. (www.PhilipSteinTeslar.com)
SHOW AND TILE
Local openly gay artist Jason Messinger is best known for his tile murals, but he actually makes sculptures and other forms of art as well. He has said of his art, ‘I want to express an idea of a symbol, but I don’t want to make it explicit. The viewer can make a narrative of it. … I want to bring the viewer in. … I think that art is like a dialogue between the culture and the artist.’ Check out his wares. (www.JasonMessingerArt.com.)
SAM I AM
The terms ‘rock star’ and ‘alcohol’ usually conjure images of excess, trashed hotel rooms and rehab. However, singer Sammy Hagar has a different connection to alcohol—he concocted Cabo Wabo Tequila to serve to his friends and in his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Cabo Wabo comes in four different types: Reposado, Blanco, Anejo and Cabo UNO. For the holidays, Cabo Wabo is also offering a bottle of the Cabo Wabo Reposado Tequila with a limited-edition margarita lime press shaker. (www.cabowabo.com)
