Don't forget... daily dragging a razor sharp blade of stainless steel across our faces could be construed as an extreme form of vanity.

This is nothing new. A few hundred years ago we would call them a 'Dandy.'

I can't wait for the first movie that has a guy saying, "Promise you won't look at me in the morning. Promise you'll let me fix my makeup first."

By the way, this woman says: The writer of this article is a good-looking dude (w/o makeup?).

LOL! Would that be scented camo or unscented? (I must be considerate to the scent challenged)

Make up for men?

That's obviously the trend. After all, one routinely sees men with pony tails and ear rings. Any man or boy with such would have been considered a raving sissy a couple of decades ago. Whats next? Skirts and pantyhose?

It's all part of the femenization of America.

The sorry fact of it is, if young women start expecting young men to look pretty, they'll just jump thru one more hoop in the grand pursuit.

"Yes, he was creepy looking. But I figured that's what men did in the south."

Hey! Southern men don't even use that antiperspirant junk. Bite yo tongue yankee!
