THE IDEAL KENNEDY’S MAN, PART 1

Our Picks for the Gents Who Best Exemplify the Kennedy’s All-American Spirit

At Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club®, we pride ourselves on the rarified strata of clientele that we attract. Or, in plainer English, we think our customers are all cool guys.

That got us to thinking – who would comprise the Kennedy’s Hall of Fame? Which men of the past century or so, possess the brains, the style and the looks (yes, ladies, we can be vain too) that, should they actually walk into a Kennedy’s Barber Club location, their mere presence would absolutely compel us to fall to the floor, lower our heads and whisper, “We are not worthy,” as we swept up their hair clippings to sell them on EBay?

Here then are our first three entries in the Ideal Kennedy’s Men roll call.

CARY GRANT

Who: Great American movie star

Why: He epitomized style, charm and grace for four decades. You don’t think he was a real man? He didn’t even wrinkle his suit while being chased by a murderous crop-duster in “North By Northwest,” he put Katherine Hepburn on the floor for breaking his golf clubs in “The Philadelphia Story,” he had a real-life affair with beautiful bombshell Sophia Loren, and sued Chevy Chase for saying “Cary Grant – what a gal!” on a talk show. Hey, you’ve got to be a real man to take your heterosexuality to court!

Fun Fact: Cary Grant was one of the first users of a new experimental drug in the 60’s – LSD! Imagine a really elegant freak-out…

JAMES BOND

Who: Amazingly cool, handsome British superspy and noted expert on hand-to-hand combat, wine, women, martinis, and evil megalomaniacs bent on world domination.

Why: Okay, okay, we know he’s not a real person and that guy in the picture is apparently some actor named Sean Connery. But review the facts – he’s saved the world from nuclear holocaust, romanced Ursula Andress, Jill St. John, Halle Berry and Denise Richards, has the most awesome gadgets in the world and survived the greatest threat of all – being portrayed by George Lazenby in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” He so needs to be a real guy that movie studios never stop looking for new actors to play him. Who else can you say that about? Sherlock Holmes? Oh c’mon. How many chicks did he nail?

Fun Fact: Almost had his groin melted by a laser beam.

PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY

Who: The President of the United States! Duh!

Why: An amazing-looking guy who was the most powerful person in the free world – and his last name was Kennedy. Again – Duh! You want more specifics? Okay, JFK could handle the Cuban Missile Crisis and party with Sinatra’s Rat Pack without breaking a sweat. Marilyn Monroe sang the sexiest version of “Happy Birthday” ever in the history of the world – to him. He was so formidable that it took Lee Harvey Oswald, the Mafia, the CIA, Lyndon Johnson and the entire military-industrial complex to kill him (at least, that’s what Oliver Stone says…). Bonus points for being the first American President that didn’t look like an old banker with indigestion.

Fun Fact: He and his father both dated Marlene Dietrich.
