A show of hands– how many of you think your male colleagues wear make-up? You were going to say “none,” right? Wrong, RuPaul. Statistically speaking, probably one-half to a third of your work pals are wearing some sort of lacquer right now, be it a little lip gloss or some bronzer and that doesn’t even include the transvesite beauts. Now that that’s out in the open you can finally stop being ashamed and start appreciating how this stuff is going to change your life. Like Jeffrey Lederer, the gentleman pictured here, checking himself out. What’s he thinking about? I don’t know, maybe about how at the age of 60+, he’s reeling in tail 20 years his junior, the kind of puss a man by the same first name can only dream of bagging. Chick thought he was 25, all thanks to his friends at MAC.
One argument that men’s cosmetics are going mainstream: some men are not even self-conscious about using them. Jeffrey Lederer, 63, a principal in several investment partnerships and a former Wall Street trader, openly applies Menaji products — including a Bronze Star facial bronzing gel, concealer and anti-shine powder — after his workouts at a private Manhattan club.
We all know of and, in some cases, have personally experienced, the dangers of the drunk trader, the strung-out trader, and the trader whose estrogen levels are running perilously low. But there is a vastly more dangerous condition under which billions could be lost, though for some reason it apparently merits little attention in the press. Continue reading »
A year or so ago, petroleum trader Jeremy Aylmer punched IT executive Charles Cox outside London nightclub Floridita, over a lady. As of last month he was facing manslaughter charges because Cox was knocked unconscious, never came to, and died 20 months later. Today, a court informed him it’s all good.
Aylmer claimed he acted in self-defence and a jury took just 32 minutes to acquit him of manslaughter at Inner London Crown Court. Aylmer, who works for oil giant Chevron, insisted Mr Cox was the ‘aggressor’ during the altercation in the early hours of November 23, 2007. He said Mr Cox had pushed him and swore at him in a row over a woman.

Earlier: London Trader Facing Manslaughter Charges For Killing A Guy With One Punch
Before the financial crisis, young Wall Street hot shots used to clamor to get named in Trader Monthly’s “Top Traders Under 30.” Trader Monthly has been relegated to the dustbin of failed financial publications, but Wall Street Cheat Sheet decided to spend the last 8 months finding the top 3 traders under 30 and anoint them the new BSDs of finance. Their raw talent is compared to that of pro ball players Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and LeBron James.
Here they are: Continue reading »
A year or so ago, petroleum trader Jeremy Aylmer punched IT executive Charles Cox outside London nightclub Floridita. Now he might go to jail because Cox was knocked unconscious, never came to, and died 20 months later. According to the Aylmer’s lawyer, he never meant to kill the guy! Or even hurt him too much! But, you know, shit happens. Also, naturally, this was over a woman. Continue reading »
Unlike his younger co-star, who has the stomach and the skills to withstand the highs and lows of trading, Michael Douglas is out.
The Hollywood actor – who made the motto famous as trader Gordon Gekko in 1987 film Wall Street – says he chased the big bucks for years. The movie veteran said: “I played. Years ago, through the tech booms, I definitely did it.” Then it all came tumbling down. The actor, 65, said: “I lost 35 to 40 per cent of my net worth on the 2008 crash.” Despite prices starting to recover, he was shocked into ending his profiteering – and pulled most of his cash from stocks. He revealed: “At the end of last year, I took a whole bunch out.”
