“Smear the queer”, is that what the game is called?

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...

Freakier than Mark Morford ball-gagged and strapped in a sling.

(Precisely what kind of ball he’s gagged with I leave to your imagination.)

Rght out of Elton John’s closet! The models don’t even look like men!

Real men will never wear this.

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.
