***the press has been telling us that it is, for almost 40 years now.***

Remember when they tried to get men to wear makeup? You see such a character in the movie ROSEMARY’S BABY.

Tights
Male dresses
Male makeup
male purses

What is next!

At my present weight and girth, I’ve found that I no longer look good in women’s clothing. Then again, I never did...

1960s?

Let me rephrase my post then.

I’m still waiting for the male purse to catch on, the press has been telling us that it is, for MORE THAN 40 years now.

Exactly.

Fag clothing.

I wouldn’t wear that crap in public if they paid me.

Why not just wear a sign on you back, saying you are gay.

From the article:

New York-based British fashion designer Lucy Sykes warned that 'megging' is a hard look to pull off. "The only guy I've seen that looks good in a legging is my friend Neil who works with me at Rent the Runway," she said. "But he's young, dark and handsome and used to perform ballet at Lincoln Centre."

"Frankly any other man I have seen [in tights] looks a bit of a wally."

That never bothered Helen!

I'm betting you look at least as goos as she did!

I know. Even Brown doesn’t have one anymore. Traded in for a cane.

As one ages and sees the same breathless stories about the "new" trend sweeping the nation every decade or so for 50 years, we get a little skeptical.

They tried this in the 70’s with a product called “Mannyhose”...the spokesperson was Joe Namath...it bombed big time.

A handful of emasculated Manhattan metrosexuals (but I repeat myself) start wearing this gay apparel and we’re supposed to believe it’s a rage sweeping the male world?

Looking in a mirror and thinking it’s a window ...

Next: cod pieces.

Plus rapiers and daggers. Then bring back duelling.

Nah, too much to hope for.

A guy walked by me on Madison Avenue in 1991 wearing the same mink jacket and European Carry-All that Seinfeld is wearing. It was Freddie Mercury. Go figure.
