Drinking Clubs & Seductive Collaborations

The end of August. It's in plain sight.

And that means it's only a matter of time until we can safely assume you'll be reading this from behind a desk as opposed to the comfort of your Montego daybed via Smartphone. But we appreciate your time (and any roaming charges incurred).

So we'll keep it light and to the point. Please find below, the latest in your Drinking Clubs & Seductive Collaborations:

Tackle Football on Game Day
Victoria's Secret Pink NFL Collection

The Brief: Now you can finally guard your home team affinities where they belong... in your pants. Introducing the Victoria's Secret PINK NFL Collection, an intimately bare take on America's game that allows you to show your love for A Rod where it counts, in addition to a whole slew of loungy game day attire. The collection includes a mesh football jersey, hipsters, hoodies, and pants.

How to Join a Tequila Club
Bel Air Cantina Tequila Society

The Brief: Your favorite Tuesday night taco joint is after your heart... again. Forget the flower approach, they'll be bringing barrels of tequila this time around. Join the Tequila Society, the underground tequila tie-in happening in private, by way of Bel Air Cantina. Member benefits include one bottle of Bel Air Cantina Herradura Double Barrel Reposado Tequila, private events, and half off tequila flights. Full benefits and details here.

Targeting Private Labels
Missoni Collection at Target

The Brief: In case your life was lacking stripes, starting September 13th you'll incorporate them in any way imaginable. Announcing the Fall collaboration you'll want to note: the Missoni Collection at Target, a tailored parternship to better your lifestyle and your Fall go-to options. So why not sport a striped scarf while toting your striped laptop case in a striped tote bag riding a striped bicycle... It's designer.

Beer Tasting in Walker's Point
The Suds Club via Bomb Shelter

The Brief: Wednesday would like another shot at earning your friendship. And The Bomb Shelter is willing to co-sign. Introducing The Suds Club, Milwaukee's only weekly, indiscretely drafty, beer tasting club taking members now. So on Wednesdays, you'll make your way to The Bomb Shelter (no password required) and reap samples, free beer, and other draft-related member perks.

Meanwhile, On the Music Front...
Watch The Throne

The Brief: No. He's no longer after your Grammy. At least we don't think so... Instead Mr. West and his Brooklynian-turned-CEO co-part would like your ears (as if that was unexpected) to their already-declared musical classic, Watch The Throne. The album, which was distributed exclusively through iTunes near the beginning of August, has already broken all sorts of records (as if that was unexpected). You can check it out here.
