The Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. A couple things wrong here . . .first off is the Panamera. It looks like a clown shoe. That thing is hideously ugly. I know the Porsche designers havent designed a new car since the introduction of the 911 but seriously? Not sophisticated. The next thing is hybrid. The Panamera S is supposed to be a high performance super car, and not a "oh no global warming is happening, save the penguins" car. Its simply ridiculous. I do not even want to put the picture up here because of how unsophisticated and gelatinous it looks. But, so you know what im talking about, here it is straight from Porsches website. In a terrible dull pea soup green colour called "crystal green metallic".

Sophisticated? I Think NOT!

JackThreads.com
This one is for all you sophisticated people out there that give a damn about your appearance, as all sophisticated men and women should. JackThreads.com is an excellent source for excellent clothes for men and accessories for both men and women. And the great thing about JackThreads is everything is discounted! That is right mates, savings. Savings. Savings. Savings. And sometimes its up to 80% off the MSRP of the clothes! The sales they have usually last around 72 hours or so, which means two things. 1. There is new stuff coming all the time to JackThreads, so check back ever few days or so, and 2. because they are sales they only happen for a short period of time then they will not be coming back. So you have to decide rather quickly if you want something and pounce on it. Limited quantities and limited time. Sadly, you need an invite to actually sign-up for an account there. But luckily we here at Gentle Sophistication have you covered. Here is a link to invite all of you to join in on this members-only, contemporary, sophisticated barrel of awesomeness that is JackThreads.com

Ballpoint Pen Art
When it comes to art, Juan Francisco Casas Ruiz knows a thing or two. But what is truly amazing about him is his drawings that he makes with nothing but what looks like a Bic Crystal ballpoint pen. The drawings are photo realistic and amazingly done. Yes, the models are a bit distracting as they are mostly naked, but also you wonder how something this real can be done with a 50 cent pen? Well done Juan. Well done mate. Link to the gallery on his website here (NSFW). Its in spanish, but some browsers will translate if you do not speak the language.
Winching a Cranberry Feild
Cranberries are a sophisticated piece of berry. And Red Bull is in my opinion, an excellent drink of energy. And when Josh Tranby, a Red Bull sponsored wakeboarder, goes to this cranberry field in Tomah, Wisconsin to winch it, it truly is a remarkable video to behold. It is simply mesmerizing.
StarWalker
The pen is mightier than the sword. Especially if the pen is plated in polished ruthenium with a handcrafted fountain pen nip made from 14 K gold and plated in ruthenium. It will also be more expensive than the sword as well. But you can probably use the pen to spar with if the need arises.
Here we have the Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black pen. This cartridge fountain pen will surely make people double take on your instrument of writing. Price? TBA.
And for those who do not know their periodic table, (but you should because sophisticated people know the elements,) ruthenium [Ru] is number 44 on the table. It is part of the platinum group and is one of the rare transitionary metals as it is the 74th most abundant on earth. Also, Montblanc made a pen out of it. Excellent.
