After nearly three decades of life—having forfeited by dreams of becoming a baseball superstar, a Margaritaville mixologist, and as of today, a magazine editor—I've finally decided what I want to be when I grow up: Sonny Hayes. Simply... Sonny Hayes. Hayes, if you're unfamiliar, is a fictional F1 driver. Relative unknown Brad Pitt will play the (admittedly fictional) racer in Joseph Kosinski's upcoming F1 movie, which is currently untitled—and thin on plot details. Hayes even graced the real-life British Grand Prix this past weekend, filming scenes alongside fellow driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). "I'm a little giddy right now, I've got to say," Pitt told Sky Sports. "It's great to be here. Having such a laugh, time of my life." |

Bars have a way of attracting storytellers. For every barfly unspooling a wandering yarn to friends new and old, there's another alone in the corner booth, held fast in the grip of creativity's lightning strike, scribbling the next Great American Novel on a cheap napkin. It's a time-honored literary tradition: a young Aaron Sorkin drafted A Few Good Men on cocktail napkins during his bartending shifts, while Esquire alum Ernest Hemingway penned his most infamous work of flash fiction on a bar napkin at The Algonquin Hotel ("For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."). That's why, in 2007, the Esquire Fiction Department undertook an ambitious project: we mailed 250 cocktail napkins to writers all across the country, asking them to submit works of short fiction confined to the blank space. We received nearly 100 napkin stories in return—a wide range of tall tales about everything from sex to poetry to plans for murder. We published them all, and we called it The Napkin Project. In an age of fragmented attention spans, as great gluts of stories pour out of our screens at all times, fiction must make the case for its essentiality now more than ever. That's why we've revived the Napkin Project now, sixteen years later. |

Taylor Okata grew up in Oahu and cut his teeth styling all around the fashion industry. "I thought leaving the islands, I had to pursue a very definable career, but I've always been interested in fashion since I can remember," he explains. His past client list includes giants like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Reebok, and Puma. Currently, though, he's focusing on his role as the creative director of personal care and grooming brand Hawthorne. He still works with the occasional client—fellow Hawaii kid Evan Mock is a notable example—but to make room for the day job, "I've been styling less and taking a step back from it," he says. |
