men beware

The first time I came across a guy in a male G-string, my second reaction was, "progressive, revolutionary, liberated!". In case anyone is wondering about the first, then, well, try, "ma ma mia, ooh la la, dishy!".

Anyhoo, first things first. Bet my first reaction has propelled the Julie Andrews type ladies and the Boxer-shorts type men into cardiac arrest anyway, so we can safely assume that those of us still reading this fall in neither of the above categories and, perhaps more importantly, are alive and well.

About the second, well, turns out the style may not be so revolutionary afterall. It has been inspired by Indian tradition! Speaking of which, the sarees that men wore during the Lakme India Fashion Week last year and the male skirts showcased this year were a head turner for sure. And I, for one, thought that some of the guys looked alright, really! (except, I do hope Vijay Mallya does not try one of those skirts that he rumouredly bought. Would not want to see those legs.). Maybe, it is all about reinventing and redefining - that is probably what keeps the interest kicking.

Meterosexuality - well, that sure seems to be the latest fad. I have nothing against dudes who like to pamper themselves but that is only as long as they look like Hugh Grant in "About A Boy". The minute they start to look like one of them pretty boys one sees on the tube, they are off my radar for sure (ever notice how alike all the metrosexual Japanese men look?). And ofcourse, no competetion for the mirror boys!

All in all, I like where the new trends are heading. It is nice to come across a man who is really comfortable in his skin. No insecurities and no ego hassles. Now, that's a real man!
