The Grand Marshall at a Gay Pride parade. I don't think this will play in Peoria.

“Sex and the City” (the movie) has, to date, grossed
$ 346,000,000 world-wide. A sequel is already in the works. There is a market for feminized men.

Looks as if the fashion industry is even more fruitful that usual this year. Well, the Lord told Adam to be fruitful and multiply. I guess 1-for-2 ain’t bad.

That bottom picture is just gross. That is homosexual fashion for sure. I don’t know a woman that would want her man wearing that!

Let the rest of the world -- and the metrosexuals -- go poofter. There will come a day when they will look back in chagrin and silently slap themselves on the forehead, moaning "What was I thinking????"

In the meantime, we American males will cling to outdated notions of masculinity in action and accoutrement, and we'll be the ones smiling and shaking our heads.

Meanwhile, these "designers" will be back making costumes for the high school production of "Wizard of Oz."

No real man would wear this crap. I could understand a homo wanting to look like this.

I bet the ladies would have nothing to do with any male dressed like these ..um...people.

The look on the face of the guy in the middle cracks me up. He looks like he’s just given up. “Yeah, I know. It’s stupid, but you won’t believe what they are paying me to wear it for 4 minutes.”

This stuff will never be worn off the runway - it’s just created to get the designer a headline. ;)

I think they wasted their time and money on this. Surely no straight man would wear these outfits. I don’t even think a majority of gay men would wear these clothes. I shouldn’t have clicked on the link. One man was wearing pearls ... yuck!

What’s funny about the pearls guy is that without the accessories and sandals, that is probably the most masculine look (the cut of the suit, plain white shirt). It was like they had to fem it down so they added pearls and a murse.

Those sandals are horrible, even for a woman. They look either orthopedic or like his feet are bandaged.

I remember in the early ‘70s when the fashion fascists tried to put men into hot pants. Same thing.

I’ll stick with the Preppy look.

These pictures just crack me up. What would you call the color of the first outfit? Band-aid? Not to mention how completely PO'd he looks at people taking his picture while he's wrapped in Ace Bandages...

So much, manifestly, for the claim that all gay guys are buff. All three of these dorks have legs my wife would be ashamed of (even without the tats).

Glad to see Brylcreem is makeing a comeback though. I still have half a tube waaaaaaaaay in the back of the medicine cabinet.

I wonder if this is a subconscious rebellion on the part of the fashionistas against Islam? The outfits are still grotesque, but they make more sense, at least to me, if that, or something like it, is what’s going on.

Yep, they just added a few “special” feminine touches to that one. I’m not quite sure why that outfit bothered me the most ... maybe because they ruined something that could have looked decent.

LOL at what the guy in the middle picture is thinking. I believe you’re right.

They're this kind of lumberjack:

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
He's a lumberjack and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He's a lumberjack...

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars
He's a lumberjack...

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa
He's a lumberjack...

Real men do wear pink. However, the shirt usually says Wranger, as do the jeans, the boots are Justin and the hat is Stetson :)

I’ll bet the designer has a sore backside!!!

Or as a guard at Jerry Brown’s Laurel Canyon home told me, the bushes only hide so much and his parties were leapfrog on the lawn and swallow the leader.

I agree. other than looking for the "freak show" aspect, I know no one interested in men's fashion.

In 1960, I wore Levi's, white t-shirt, short sleeved sports shirt and lace up shoes. Today, I wear Levi's, black t-shirt, short sleeved sports shirt and loafer shoes. The reasons for my new fashion statement are (1) I got tired or ruining white t-shirts when eating noodles and drinking coffee and (2) my arthritic hands find loafers easier. Most men I know here and overseas dress similarly.

In East Village of New York or the club scene there, these looks are considered the norm. Secondly, I do not think these looks will play well down South or the Mid-West./Just Asking - seoul62.........

I, too, wear the Daily Uniform: black tee, khaki trousers, loafers/mocs/deck shoes, and sometimes a hat. I switch to jeans when working outdoors. I have three gray flannel suits (white shirts, narrow black tie) for use at church services, business meetings, and funerals. I also have a number of Lacoste tennis shirts, one pair of plaid pants (McKay tartan) for golf, and a tuxedo.

Other than PJs and underwear, that’s it.

That was the second music video I ever saw (after Billy Idol’s White Wedding). Great album from an underrated artist. Would like to see the song covered by a country artist.

Yes, male models are generally on the thin side. Toned, but not beefy.
