It's Time for Dad

Father's Day is June 18. Have you ordered the new Mercedes-Benz SL55AMG convertible he's been pining over yet? In liquid silver would be nice.
No argument Dad would look quite spiffy tooling around the club's parking lot in one of those babies. Thankfully, he's a practical guy too. Best of all, he will love you just as much - or almost - if you show up with any of the items from this gift list.
Bailey of Hollywood LiteStraw hat.
 We're all about sun awareness these days, protecting our face, ears and neck from the harsh UV rays. Bailey introduces a revolutionary new technology that takes existing straw hat styles and softens them to create a casual alternative. The sporty Dri-Lex band enhances breatheability while managing moisture. The result is LiteStraw, a supple, comfortable, water repellent hat that inspires wearability and function. Available in several styles and colors.
Suggested price: $36-$62.
