At Frachelli, we love music, we love Kickstarter projects, and we also love friends. One of our friends is currently running a Kickstarter project to record his debut solo album, so it was a no brainer to share the project with our readers. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing Adam McDonough perform live and are definitely excited for the release of Coast to Coast. He also throws one hell of a BBQ.

Moniker Guitars
It’s not every day a notable new guitar company comes along. Moniker Guitars is based out of Austin Texas and is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to help launch their new line of semi-hollow body electric guitars. Currently you can order customized solid body electric guitars on their website as well as custom pickguards for your existing guitar. If you put your girlfriend’s face on the pickguard, she might not be as upset when you use the rent money to buy one of these sweet sounding (and looking) geeetars.

Thanks, Bro
We did a write-up on Thanks, Bro when they first launched their beer and beef jerky delivery service in Manhattan. Since then, they’ve gone national and now offer man gifting across the country. Plus, to celebrate their national launch – they’re also currently throwing in a pack of unopened pack of 1990 Topps football cards (with a stick of gum) with their deliveries. So if a guy friend does you a quality favor, thank them with a beef jerky and beer delivery from thanks-bro.com complete with a sandpaper thank you card. We should probably also mention that the SlantShack Jerky they sent us was pretty damn tasty.
Crush of the Week | Bar Refaeli
27 year-old Israeli born Bar Refaeli is our Crush of the Week and after her controversial Super Bowl ad, we’re sure a lot of other guys across America are thinking of her too. She’s been the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and there’s no denying that she’s incredibly hot. We’re also extremely jeaslous of that nerdy kid who got to do numerous makeouts with her to film the commercial.

The Noble Beer Margarita

Lemonade
Ice
Your favorite 6.5 OZ bottle of beer
Place ice in glass. Add in tequila and fill with lemonade. Tip beer bottle inside the glass.
Crush of the Week | Hannah Davis
Born in Saint Thomas, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 22 year old Hannah Davis has modeled for the likes of Victoria’s Secret and Ralph Lauren – and her recent role as the “DirecTV Genie Girl” in commercials has gotten our attention and made her our Crush of the Week. Hannah Davis is a gorgeous 5’10″ green-eyed dark blonde and was rumored to be a girlfriend of Derek Jeter (which makes sense). If you have a thing for hot tv commercial chicks, also check out the “T-Mobile Girl” Carly Foulkes.
Crush of the Week | Kerry Washington
Django Unchained was a super violent film, but it also featured some serious beauty. Our Crush of the Week Kerry Washington starred as Broomhilda and her looks made the lengths Django went through to save her very believable. Born in the Bronx, 5’4″ Kerry Washington still looks stunning at the age of 35 and we look forward to seeing her in more films.

Friday Fox | Olivia Wilde
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you probably already know who Olivia Wilde is. Born in New York City, the 28 year old actress also has dual citizenship in the United States and Ireland (a fun fact that you may not have known). While every inch of this 5’7″ brunette is beautiful, Olivia’s stunning eyes are hard to rival – and that’s why she’s this week’s Friday Fox.
those eyes…
