Crusin' with MB Seattle: The Best Or Nothing

“Fashion anticipates … elegance is a state of mind." – Oleg Cassini

Beauty, sophistication, elegance. Three concepts we relish, admire and invest bandwidth toward. For your consideration, I'd love to throw one more into the mix: satisfaction. When we add delight to the recipe, life seems a bit lighter; days seem a bit brighter, and harmony feels attainable. 

During this chill photoshoot - led by my boy ILL WILL MEDIA - the good people at Mercedes-Benz of Seattle had us work with two excellent vehicles: the GLC43 AMG and the A220. 

While bold looks and advanced tech on the whips are captivating, excellent customer service from these folks is the proverbial "cherry on top." The dealership made me feel appreciated, attended to, and fulfilled. Like attracts like is a great saying, and as I never cut corners with my style, they took the same approach. 

A sunny day in Seattle is a rarifying and marvelous thing. Spending this time handling luxurious vehicles while cruising around my neighborhood laughing with Portia (from girlfriendgetaway) made me think of happier times and had me feeling grateful.

Portia (who is downright hilarious) also shared her gladness with the candor and professionalism Mercedes-Benz of Seattle provided. It was a win-win-win, and I'd love to work with them again in the near future (fingers crossed).

Simply put, the right people, in the right situations with the right vehicles, can produce amazing results. Mercedes Monday was dope, Benz Wednesday was fantastic, and I wish you the MB experience soon (no matter what day of the week). So if you're ever around the Greater Seattle area, head over to Mercedes-Benz of Seattle for their award-winning customer service, and let 'em know AMAS sent ya.

The Sweet Alchemist

Alchemy is the ancient theory and philosophy for changing accessible materials into more complex substances. Over time, Alchemists sought knowledge on natural elements and how they intertwined with arcane magicks and stargazing. Our world has changed much since these artisans walked the land, but their effect in the Modern era cannot be understated.

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Feeling inspired by these revolutionary men and women, Chef Julien Chantereau bursts upon the scene with an alchemical approach to confectionaries. He is the Sweet Alchemist.
