A fairly common question I get asked from time to time is, “Should you wear a belt with suspenders?” To put things in perspective, it’s a lot like wearing two baseball gloves to the ball game. You’re hoping to catch a foul ball and while one glove would work just fine, you still want to play it cautious with two. Is it unnecessary? Yes. A little foolish looking? Sure. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get away with doing it....

As a youngster, I thought the math was simple: More strength equals more control. Using a super-strong hair styling product would help me achieve the exact hairstyle I wanted. Or so I thought. Truth be told, it was never the case, as there were always downsides. My hair appeared oily, unnatural, it was stiff as a rock to touch, washing out the product was a pain, it was way too shiny, and so on....
A few years ago I met a man in Las Vegas who was attending the same conference as I was. Naturally, we’d later become Facebook friends, and during the time frame he started sharing these incredible Blackjack stories. They were absolutely fascinating and I grew incredibly curious like many others to discover what his secret of success was.

After decades without a huge presence from the genre, in recent years film and television such as Hell or High Water, Longmire, and the audience acclaimed Yellowstone have redefined the genre for a more modern context.
