A Gift Guide for Your Daddy
When I think of Father’s Day, the first thing I think of is Lindsay Lohan’s criminally underrated single Confessions of A Broken Heart (Daughter to Father). Scratch that, I think of Wendy William’s rendition of the song that she did for her live studio audience with her loud shoulder choreography. You cannot escape Father's Day guides without seeing shaving kits that will never be used, and socks that will never be worn. Instead of a list that would feature CBT and CBD, I decided to make a Gift Guide for the Daddy in your life. Open for your interpretation. in the honor of the great daddies: Billy Bob Thorton, Idris Elba, the fictional Sandy Cohen- heck even Uncle Phill. Daddy Issues, but make them fashion! This is a City Girls Summer, so shop accordingly.
When we discuss iconic daddies in pop culture history, no name comes to the top of ones head faster than Billy Bob Thorton. Billy Bob Thornton wearing his trucker hats with a young Angelina Jolie will always be an aphrodisiac.
