The G Manifesto

How to Pick up Topless Girls at The Beach

“Now a lot of people think this is easy as it looks
Books and books of Game concepts and hooks
Hash Session to session to get thoughts manifested
Stressing and stressing to hit the world with a G blessing”

After spending my summer at the sea in Europe with more shells than Adidas tops, there is one thing I am certain of:

I like my chicks, like my whips, Topless.

Here is how you swoop Topless girls at The Beach (this Data Sheet is 15 years in the making):

First thing you need to do to swoop topless girls at the beach is put yourself in the right time and right place. “The right time” is summertime. “The right place” is east of Eden. Or at least, east of America (South Beach being the exception).

The second thing you need to do is re-condition your mind, so you don’t freeze up like the Hope Diamond around topless girls. I was lucky. I was fortunate enough to do be around topless girls at a young age. At age 14 or something, I spent a summer at the beaches of Spain. It was really like an epiphany for me (and I don’t mean that topless Exotic Dancer from Rick’s Caberet in New Orleans named “Epiphany”, real name Jenny, either). At that point in my life, I had probably only seen a few girls sans clothes. However, after that summer at the beach, I had probably seen 30,000 fly topless girls.

Hell, these days I don’t feel comfortable unless I am surrounded by topless girls. Might have something to do with why I spend some much time in Gentleman’s Clubs. But that’s neither French dime pieces nor E-tabs that look like Reese’s. It’s neither pushing weight nor E-Tab hallucinate.

Surf

The easiest way to swoop topless girls at the beach is by being an ill surfer. Especially, when you are talking the Côte de Basque and Northern Spain in general. If you are unlike your humble author, and you never learned to surf, get started. It’s going to take you 10 years to get halfway decent.

Pull into a few grinding, sandy tubes (and I don’t mean bongs either), air it out a little and once you are back on the beach, bust out with the “Bonjour”. “Ce va?” “Quel âge as-tu?” “Tu es très belle.” “Tu habite ici?” “En Vacance?” You know how the Language Game flows.

And for goodness sakes, never ever do this on the beach:

Never ever? Never ever.

Smokes and Hashish

Whoever is behind the “no-smoking laws” (I will give you a hint: it’s Big Pharma) has never sat between two topless fly French girls while smoking cigarettes on La Grande Plage in summer time. Because, if they had, they would make smoking mandatory. Breaking out a pack of Gitanes, Gauloises or Fortunas (in Spain) on the beach is a great opener on gaggle of fly topless girls at the beach.

This move is probably second only to busting out a Hashish Jay.

An expertly, one-handed rolled, Shish Jay has style points off the charts. I first started doing this move in my “salad days”, and when I say salad days, I mean the days when I used to smoke Jays mixed with Afgan Blonde Hashish and Northern Lights Chronic. And I have been doing it ever since.

Language

A continuing Chamber of The G Manifesto is to get your language Game tight. Take some Language Lessons. They really are the gift that keeps on giving. Similar to a dope Dunhill lighter, Locking Down a Gentleman’s Club, or a brief case full of unmarked beautiful, colorful Euros.

So get your Spanish Game, French Game, and Italian Game tight. The rest of the girls at the beach; Swiss, Scandinavian, Polish etc, will speak some English.

Enter The Dragon

To swoop mad fly topless girls at the beach, you are going to have to get in some reasonable form of good shape. Now, I am not saying to go overboard, live in the gym and get tribal tattoos like some Arizona Personal Trainer guy ponce. Just make sure you Enter the Dragon on the regular.

Go to the beach every day

Even on days when it’s not super sunny out. If you want to swoop topless girls, you have to meet girls that like the beach. I have met many girls while spocking the waves on un-sunny days. Roll up with a grit, and set the date for the beach when it’s sunny out: Presto! Topless girl.

What to watch out for:

Piggybackers

Piggybackers are typically wack American tourists that will try to infiltrate the fly topless girls you have already infiltrated. Many of the Euro beaches have “crews” of girls that chill topless. The bad part is that it is hard to get in. The good part is once you are in, you are in.

Hence, weesh American wack cats that try to “piggyback” your moves. Deal with them like you would any chavala.

Pro surfers

Pro surfers can be formidable competition, especially when there is a contest going on. A good thing to do is get to know some of these cats, which thankfully I do. If not, you can always out-Game and out-Rage these cats. And good local Drug Connection can work wonders as well.They might be Pro Surfers, but often times they aren’t Pro International Playboys.

Locals

The local crews can definitely put some salt in your Game as they can get pretty salty if you are running through some of the local topless girls. Again, it is good to have some local contacts to keep these guys at bay. You can always focus on the tourist girls to offset this, or come with your own Dope Crew from your local beach in case things get sticky like Haze.

Dolo

As you should know by now, my favorite way to swoop topless girls is Going for Dolo. You need to stay fluid with this stuff. Be like water my son.

See you at the beach next summer.

What Goes In Each Pocket of a Custom Suit

I was recently asked this question on Roosh’s Travel Forum (Best Travel Forum on The Internet by the way):

G,

I know smoking is your thing (best pickup line) so I thought I would ask. Do you carry a lighter on you all the time? And do you have a cigarette case you carry on you? I ask because I find it such a bitch to carry a pack on me while rolling out at night. Hell, I can’t stand carrying too much shit on me besides my keys, phone and wallet. So my question is how do you operate?

And many times I have been asked where I carry everything on a night out.

Let me break it down:

Side Jacket Pockets:

I know you are supposed to carry as little as possible in all your pockets, but a G has got to smoke.

In the Left Jacket Pocket, I carry two packs of smokes. (You don’t want to run out when the girl of your dreams asked you for a cigarette).

In the Right Jacket Pocket, I carry two lighters. Typically Zippo’s filled to the brim. (Same thing, you don’t want a flint to break, or run out of fluid at The Moment of Truth, and I don’t mean that dope Guru track either.) Sometimes a Dupont Lighter or a Dunhill lighter. And a small set of keys.

Ticket Pocket:

I get almost all my Custom Suits with Ticket Pockets. I typically don’t put anything in them unless it I am going to The Fights, The Racetrack or maybe The Opera. In which case I will put my tickets in The Ticket Pocket, make sense? (Don’t laugh, a fly girl took me to The Opera earlier this year when I was in America.)

Breast Pocket of Jacket:

Only one thing should ever go here: The Pocket Square.

Inside Jacket Pockets:

Left Inside Jacket Pocket I keep my cell phone.

In the Right Inside Jacket Pocket, I keep a huge CASH Bankroll. (Disclaimer: I might not be telling the truth about the location of huge CASH Bankroll. I still have way too many Rivals out there and things can get sticky like the back of a stamp).

Inside Pen Pocket of Jacket:

I keep a pen. And no, I don’t roll Montblanc’s or expensive pens.

I do appreciate their value, but I just can’t be bothered.

Secret Pocket:

I always have a “Secret Pocket” sewn into all my Custom Suits. Where is it exactly? Do me a favor.

In here I keep (maybe) some Gold coins (in case the Apocalypse hits), Beeks or Beans (if the night calls for it), or Top Secret Documents.

Jimmy Hat Inside Jacket Pocket:

In the Jimmy Hat Pocket (not the official name by the way) I keep jimmy hats. Multiple. You never know when a swoop is going to go down (so to speak).

Pants Pockets:

Left Trouser Pocket, I keep a folded up piece of paper for notes, and backup important information in case I lose my phone (as you can see, I don’t leave anything to chance).

Right Trouser Pocket, I keep nothing. (Sometimes the hotel key card of some dope suite).

Pockets are Frogmouth in case you were wondering.

So where do I keep the heater?

Great question.

I don’t have a special pocket sewn into my jackets in case my Tailor ever gets leaned on.

So it really depends.

How to Get Candle Wax out of Clothes

One of the hazards of The International Playboy Lifestyle is you swoop a lot of fly girls and many times when you are swooping said fly girls, you are swooping them with candle light.

It is only a matter of time before you have a disaster, like spilling candle wax on some of your dope threads.

It just so happened that last week, I was swooping a fly girl, getting loose and dumped a ton of liquid wax on some slacks I got handmade in London. Savile Row.

I thought my Custom Slacks were done for, so I did the only thing any self respecting G would in this situation: I called my MOM.

Here is what she told me:

1. Lay slacks down on an Ironing board, wax side up.

2. Heat up an Iron. Dry.

3. Get some clean, white paper towels and put them over the wax.

4. Put hot Iron on the paper towels. The wax will then “melt” into the paper towels.

5. Repeat.

6. If you still have more wax (I did), then get a wash cloth (mine was one I heisted from The Ritz-Carlton), get it wet with cold water, then apply Iron again until all wax is out.

7. You slacks should be good as new.

Thanks MOM.

Big Pun’s Son Spitting Lyrics

Custom Suits and Dope Shoes: Save Money by Spending Money

When I posted this, Undefeated Gucci Loafers, a lot of people asked me, “But what if I don’t have the money for Gucci Loafers and Custom Suits?”

Here is the thing most people don’t realize: Custom Suits and Dope Shoes actually save you money.

Let me break it down:

You throw down 5 G’s for a Custom Suit.

If you take care of it, you can have it for minimum 10 years (if not a lifetime and hand it down to your little baby G’s if you go that route).

$5,000 / 10 = $500 per year.

Pretty damn cheap.

Now ask yourself, what would you rather have, a Custom Suit, or some crappy off-the rack job by Hugo Boss for $500 where the buttons will pop off after a heavy night?

Same thing with Gucci Loafers, let’s break it down:

Gucci Loafers will easily last you 5 years, if you take care of them and hit up your shoe cobbler on a regular basis.

$500 / 5 – $100 per year.

Now ask yourself, what would you rather have, a dope pair of Gucci Loafers or some weesh Kenneth Cole’s that will fall apart in 6 months?

Side note: It’s a little harder to pencil out handmade shoes, but they are worth every penny.

And here is the kicker.

With all the money printing that Bernake is doing, investing in Custom Suits and Dope Shoes is investing in real assets. So you are actually hedging against inflation.

Trust me, when the apocalypse comes, you are going to want to have some silver, some gold, some emeralds, some diamonds and shooting it out with an AR-15 and taking Thorozine while Custom Suited Down.

For Style Points, of course.

International Playboy of The Apocalypse.

Shoe Shoe Shine 1974

Undefeated Gucci Loafers

A few months ago, I was rolling with my Corporate friend and he had to go to South Coast Plaza to pick up a suit and some shoes. I told him he should just go Custom with my tailor, but him being a Corporate guy, he is kind of a cheapskate. But that is neither here nor there, and I decided to roll with.

While he grabbed an Armani suit (which was actually not bad, nothing compared to the handmade craftsmenship of my my tailor though), I decided to dip into Gucci and picked up a pair of Gucci Slides (pictured above, although the ones I grabbed were dark brown), even though I prefer handmade shoes from London these days.

So far I have been happy with the purchase.

I have swooped a fly girl everytime I have worn them so far: I went 1-0 in Los Angeles, 2-0 in Palm Beach, FL, 2-0 in Buenos Aires and 2-0 in Miami Beach. Decent.

(Side Note: I am only counting nights where I swooped a fresh girl. I am not counting nights I wore them and swooped a girl I already swooped. I don’t want to “pad” the record, so to speak).

The price tag? 5 bills. But knowing what I know now, I would have easily paid double.

I would strongly recommend picking up a pair or three, although I think they are discontinued. I anticipate they should work great for summer in coastal Spain at the topless beaches and for The Del Mar Racetrack.

Keep in mind though, I am not sure if these Gucci Loafers were 100% of the reason I went undefeated. It is really kind of hard to track. Furthermore, I have been feeling great lately (minus a health scare), traveling, making mad CASH, sparring heavy, and I have been doing it all in Custom Suits. So you could say I am on a roll, and I don’t mean E-tabs either.

These days, I can pretty much tell any top flight actor, musician or athelete to f*ck off with lifestyle.

I am a pretty big advocate of the International Playboy lifestyle choice.

I am mildly surprised more people out there aren’t embracing it.

It is great work…if you can get it.

G Move: Locking Down your Shoe Cobbler

It always amazes me on how many people don’t have a Shoe Cobbler locked down. And I mean even people that know what up don’t have it on Lock Down.

I remember when I was in NYC last summer, and I was visiting a friend who is probably a Top 50 International Playboy in all of America. The guy is G, travels all the time, makes dough, swoops Models, Custom Suits, smokes cigarettes; like I said, at most, only 49 people in all of America are a more highly rated International Playboy than this cat.

I needed a new heel on a pair of loafers that I did some damage, walking and stomping in Barcelona. So I asked my friend, “Do you have a Cobbler here on lock down?”

He didn’t. I almost slapped him.

Luckily, I got a guy in New York that I know, so everything worked out great.

However, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a Cobbler on Lock.

Just yesterday, I dropped off four pairs of shoes to my guy for his old world craftsmanship and hung out with him for a while to hear stories of the old country. I even spoke a little Italian to him. (For style points, of course.)

The result:

Tax free purchases (paid in CASH of course)
Pro-Bono Shoe Shines
Multiple Pro-Bono hole punches in my belt (I have been really getting into tip top shape spending time at the newly re-opened Legendary 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach and Sparring in Bogotá)

Plus I got to hear some stories of back when America was great (pre-skinny jeans, pre-glittery shirts, pre-Bottle Service, pre-smoking bans, you know, back when there was freedom) and support a dying art in a country that forgot what quality is.

I have done my good deed for the day.

Travel Tips for Americans

Traveling has become a real drag lately. Or I should say the “process” of traveling has really become a drag. Here are some tips for Americans to make traveling more enjoyable for all involved.

Go easy on the carry-ons

I know that Airlines sometimes lose bags, but everyone needs to start going easy on the carry-ons. Or at least people need to go easy on carry-ons if they can’t handle them. (If you can’t lift your bag into an overhead, check it. This is more directed at men, women and the elderly are excused). Personally, I always check my bags. It keeps me more agile for swooping girls in airports.

Fat-Free Flights

Ok, so we now have smoke-free flights. Now that Obesity is the #1 killer in America, and with Obesity rates in our Country hitting something like 95%, it would only make sense if we had Fat–People-Free flights. Right?

Dressing sharp

In the good old days, people used to dress with style and elegance when they traveled. Today, as we all know, it’s a real slob fest. It’s embarrassing. If I see one more girl in Ugg boots and sweats or another fool in a “hipster fedora”, I may take down a plane myself. Recently, I was on a flight where there were three weesh Twenty-something American girls in, get this, Pajamas. And it was a weesh connecter from the Midwest to the East Coast. It wasn’t like we were flying to Macau to chill with the Ho family or something.

Please, have some respect for yourself, and Dress Sharp.

I honestly think when people in the future look back to the fall our country; they are going to trace it to the loss of freedom (ie smoking bans, TSA) and loss of self-respect (people dressing like slobs).

And don’t even get me started on Stewardesses today.

How it should be:

Frank Sinatra – Fly Me To The Moon (Live)

COME FLY WITH ME – FRANK SINATRA FT. LUIS MIGUEL – DUETS II

Colombian Family Gathering

Click Here for The Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuck

Bogotá, Colombia –

If you are lucky in “The Life” and have the pleasure of swooping a fly Colombiana and she invites you to a big Colombian Family Gathering, jump like House of Pain at the opportunity.

The other night I went over to the palatial casa of the family of a fly Colombiana that I am having a Mini-Relationship with. It was dope:

We walk in, and there are 6 different women cooking in the kitchen; La Madre, Hermanas, Primas, Abuelas, Sobrinas etc. My girl tells me to sit down with her 2 Suited Down Primos and El Padre and jumps into the fray in the kitchen.

The women continue to bring me non-stop cervezas as I kick back and rap out with the other 3 men present about football, boxing and biz. I don’t have to lift a finger.

Little primas jump all over me until I tell them to chill out as I don’t want them to wrinkle up my Custom Suit or spill Postobon Manzana on my luxurious fabrics.

We then feast on mindblowing Ajiaco, Bandeja Paisa, Morcilla, Chicharrón, and mad Arepas. Mad Aguilas.

We have like 16 women catering to our every need.

This is how Life should be.

And its quite a sharp contrast from American girls that can’t cook their way out of a brown paper bag. And I don’t mean that DJ Khaled track either.

In other prostitution news:

Sen. Reid calls for ending legal prostitution

Sen. Harry Reid called for the abolishment of Nevada’s legal brothel trade Tuesday in a speech before the Legislature.

“So let’s have an adult conversation about an adult subject,” Reid said. “Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment — not as the last place where prostitution is still legal. When the nation thinks about Nevada, it should think about the world’s newest ideas and newest careers — not about its oldest profession.”

Dennis Hof, owner of the Bunny Ranch and Love Ranch brothels in Lyon County, sat in the Assembly chamber during the speech, along with nine sex workers that work at his brothels.

“We should do everything we can to make sure the world holds Nevada in the same high regard you and I do,” Reid said. “If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work, the time has come for us to outlaw prostitution.”

Source

Although way better than that Sharron Angle retard, Reid is showing himself to be an idiot.

What does he expect Nevada to be? The next Silicon Valley?

He should be happy that California is becoming a Police State and people from there want to spend their money in his state.

What’s next for Nevada? Ending Gambling? Pushing last call to 1:30am?

News just in Harry Reid, you don’t have a beach in your state.

Bad move for Nevada.

More Reader Questions on Going Suited Down

Let’s continue from How to Wear a Custom Suit Questions with more reader questions.

Question: Which tailors do you like in London?

Michael Mason: I like Ozwald Boateng, however I have mad respect for all the cats on Savile Row (one of my favorite streets in the world). I made a stop by Ozwald Boateng on Savile Row last September when I was in London. I picked up some dope shirts and they were really hyping me up on thinner ties so I picked up a few. Top notch blokes. I rolled with them a little during London Fashion Week as well.

Question: You have mentioned before the Custom Suits help a G gain “access”, can you elaborate?

Michael Mason: Sure. Here is a perfect example:

If you can pull all of that off in jeans and a T-shirt, you should be selling “Game lessons” to the masses at 100k per pop.

Question: Do you think girls like men in suits?

Michael Mason: Of course skippy. Here is a little tale:

And this is coming from a fly rich Southern California beach girl who conventional thinking would lead one to believe she would hate guys that are Suited Down.

Question: Do you always wear a tie?

Michael Mason: I go through phases. A few years ago, I almost always wore ties. Lately I haven’t worn them at all (unless the gig called for it). I think I am on the verge of going on another heavy “tie run”.

My tie collection is so ill, I figure why not?

Question: Which venues do you think Custom Suits work best?

Michael Mason: The Racetrack. The Boxing Match. The card game. The Gentlemans Club. The Private Club. The High End Wedding. The Mansion Party. The Art Gallery opening. The Casino floor. The Charity gig. The nightclub opening. The French Riviera Yacht Party. The Lobby bar of a 5 star hotel.

Basically everywhere a G finds himself on a typical day or evening.

Question: Can people really tell the difference between an Off-the-rack suit and a Custom Suit?

Michael Mason: If by “people” you mean the majority of fly girls you want to swoop, then no.

So yes, the trained eye can easily tell the difference.

Question: Which body types work best while Suited Down?

Well, lets see. If you are in mad good shape, a Custom Suit is crazy dangerous. If you are mad skinny, you can look super fresh in a dope suit. If you are a fat f*ck, then you better wear a suit.

So I would say all body types.

Question: What is a “must-have” accessory to a Custom Suit for an up-and-coming G on the rise?

Michael Mason: A pocket square of course. But maybe more important is a lit cigarette. Watch this if you need to know how its done:

How to Wear a Custom Suit

I typically get bombarded with questions about Custom Suits via email, via phone call, and people stopping me in the streets.

I take this, of course, as a good sign. As in, even though America continues to go the way of glittery shirts and super tight jeans, there are plenty of up and coming G’s on the rise that are interested in dressing how men are supposed to dress.

(Side note: To my friends that have been away in prison for the last five to ten years and are reading this now just as you got out, a little clarification might be needed. When I was referring above to “glittery shirts and super tight jeans” I was referring to how guys dress these days, not girls. And yes, I am being serious. Amazing as it may seem for someone who has been “away”, American “males” now actually wear shirts with glitter on them and splotchy designs and guys wear tight jeans. It’s true, there is only so much I can do to keep our country in check).

Anyways, I will answer some of your questions below.

Question: Are there certain cities where being suited down wouldn’t be an advantage or may even be a disadvantage?

Michael Mason: Well I know for sure it is an advantage in NYC, LA, New Orleans, Las Vegas, SF, Miami Beach, Beverly Hills, DC, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, ATL as I have come up Aces in all while Suited Down. Internationally, the list would get pretty long.

Not sure about Rancho Cucamonga, CA, Deadhorse, AK or Surprise, AZ. Nor do I intend on finding out. Why don’t you check for me and report back? Fair enough?

Question: Do you think there’s a big drop off in results with quality of suit. For instance, can a guy swoop girls in a $200-300 suit that looks decent and get 90% of the results of a guy in a custom made suit?

Michael Mason: I love how people always want shortcuts.

So yes, it can be done. And done against top-flight competition as well.

Question: Who is your tailor? Who is this “mystery man”?

Michael Mason: Do me a favor. Actually, it is pretty easy to figure out. He is the best tailor in America and has a supreme clientele of famous people you know. However, I am his favorite client.

He is a super cool old-school cat that knows all the heavies from years gone by. Sometimes I just go hang out in his tailor shop and rap out with him for hours. I consider him a key member of my “team” and a great friend as well.

Question: Do you ever fear you will come off as a cheesy Wall Street Guy when you wear Suits?

Michael Mason: No. But then again, with my ethnic mix (half IRA, half ETA) and since I look like a slightly more Irish-Blooded “Manolo” in Scarface or young Andy Garcia, I get accused, more often, of looking like a high-end drug smuggler more than a Wall Street Cat. Which I have come to realize isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Plus my suits are different than theirs.

Question: What are your thoughts on the current state of men’s fashion in America?

Michael Mason: I have said it before and I will say it again, My Grandfather always told me; “Style and Taste are for men. Trends and Fashion are for the ladies.” G’s stick with Style and Taste.

Is it?

To be continued…

Third Side Note: Sometimes I don’t know what is weirder; the fact that 98% of American males wear either/or glittery shirts or tight jeans, or the fact that I am the only one that seems to question this fact.

(Fourth Side Note: I have that same sports coat with the big houndstooth check that Benny Siegel is wearing above. Of course, I had to have it custom made).
