So we were tooling around one of our favorite websites this afternoon (and if you haven’t spent a little time checking out hotchickswithdouchebags.com yet, get on it) and it reminded us of this article from the Washington Post from a few years back. Just in case you didn’t know, guido is the way to go. This is one of the all time great pieces written about the life that is guido. It goes into amazing detail about the guido dress, the guido style, and all the amazing guidettes.

While we won’t go into too much detail and rob the article (it is 5 pages, but it’s 5 absolutely amazing pages), here’s a few choice clips:
“But as evolution teaches, those who cannot adapt, die. Moo understands this, and he wants the world to know that today’s guido is a modern, sophisticated creature — that although the guido persists, his Z. Cavariccis do not. The old IROC-Z has been replaced by the BMW 330 as the ideal form of transportation. The guidette’s hair is no longer big — it is flat as an ironed skirt or limp and curly, like seaweed.”
“Having fun,” says Joe C., who wears a Coach visor and a shirt that says Italia. Friends describe Joe C. as the “ultimate guido.” He studies at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., with hopes of becoming a gym teacher, drives a paprika-colored Mercedes Kompressor and, perhaps more than anyone, understands that being guido is an aspiration to carefully crafted gorgeousness.”
“Guidos may live in one of the few realms of the straight world in which men are as preciously groomed as women. The quest for perfection is what prompts one of the Moo’s friends to bring an electric nose hair trimmer to the palace. It’s why Moo shaves his chest and back — and why Joe C. shaves his back and arms and sometimes his legs.”
“The doing of the hair is a complex and mysterious ritual. The night before, Moo got so frustrated that he had to do it three times and “change products.” Tonight, he first puts spiking gel in his hair, then sprays his hair with hairspray, then styles it, then sprays it again. “Then I’ll come back here when it starts falling from all the weight and spray it again,” he says.”
Anywho, you get the point. As the weather gets warmer, just wanted to make sure all our readers at Brahsome.com were prepared, and there’s no better place to prepare than njguido.com. Actually, while writing this story, we recalled one of our favorite YouTube clips as well:
Anywho, we hope this has been informative, and to anyone visiting Brahsome.com from a Guido message board- we’re totally kidding around and 100% back your lifestyle choices.
