On Sunday on Santa Monica Beach, a young musician built awareness and raised money for his Johnny Cash tribute band, "Cash Back."

You probably remember the Introduction to Justin Ross Lee we did a couple of weeks ago right here. How could you forget? Between his "Jew-jetting", bottle-popping, and love of over the top antics it's hard to push out of your mind... or the comments off our site. So we checked in with JRL to see what he was up to the other day via a brief message on Facebook (his choice medium). To our surprise, Justin was ready and willing to provide GofG with more information about himself - even things we never asked for. Including this one-on-one interview he conducted with himself, and sent to our editor. So in case the intro to JRL wasn't enough to get a full picture of exactly what this character is all about, sit back and enjoy him answering these questions.... that he asked himself including things like which hamptons nightclub has a door entrance that is big enough for his head. HAPPY FRIDAY! More»

[Papa Manning] What would he want this Sunday? Besides a GofG photographer to immortalize his day of honor, OF COURSE. We put together a list of NYC social figures, ranging from the Marc Jacobs Gymdad to the Bernie Madoff Inmate dad, and decided what they might enjoy receiving on Father's Day. Now obviously many of these men already have kids, don't want kids, or what have you -- ignore these minor problematic implications. Just try to think which guy your dad's personality resembles, and then buy him what we suggest. Get going! You have about 48 hours.
