Men--the New Women--Alert By Debbie Schlussel
On this site, we've been following--with dismay--the ever increasing feminization of men in America. Two items, this week, are part of the continuing crisis:
* USA Today's Sports Section has been running full-page ads, like the one on page 6C on Tuesday, for L'oreal's new men's beauty line, called, "Men's Expert."
The products sound like they are for women. I find it a bit odd for any man to use "Circle Eraser Anti-Dark Circle Eye Moisturizer," or "Stop Lines Anti-Lines Moisturizer," or "Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Moisturizer"--all of which are part of L'Oreal's new line for women . . . I mean, "men." If "Vita Lift" sounds familiar, that's because "Vita Lift" started out as a L'Oreal Women's product and still is one.
L'Oreal for "Men" Invades the Sports Pages Then, there is the "Power Buff Anti-Roughness Exfoliator." Hello . . . men are supposed to be rough. No man should ever use exfoliator--unless his favorite song is by "The Weathergirls."
They try to make this stuff sound masculine by calling it "the Winning Team." Maybe what they really mean is, "Play for the OTHER team." This goop is anything but masculine. Somebody get this stuff off my USA Today Sports section. PLEASE.
And don't go to the L'Oreal men's website, unless you want to hear bad, effeminate Yanni-style music and see gay models. It's no coincidence that L'Oreal is FRENCH.
Cole & Dylan Sprouse: New Girlie-Boy Version of the Olsen Twins * Then, there are the Olsen Twins. The greedy gazillionaire girls are not satisfied with their gazillions--which apparently are not enough. So, to make even more, the've hired a new, younger set of girl twins to replace them as the spokesmodels of their Dualstar company. Except that the girl twins are really boys. They just look like girls. And it's by design.
The Olsen Twins told the Wall Street Journal that these girlie-boy twins will be marketing male beauty products for young boys like the ones L'Oreal is shoving onto men's sports pages. The male beauty industry for girlie-men is now cradle to grave.
Somebody stop them.
And rebellion always has its roots in deception and deception is Satan's tool
bumping that!
All the advertisers want is money. Look at Ambercombie & Fitch. They jumped the shark, and marketed thong panties for little girls! Metrosexual foo foo stuff, isn't going to last long, either.
The guys I know wouldn't give this crap the time of day.
LOL!! Taking a break from homework to find this gem of post!! I saw a man purse at the airport the other day..
I will be writing something about Evil with a capital E today. It's a topic that everyone needs to think about. Lefists claim that there is no real evil; for instance, cruel and vicious people just need to be "understood". Yet many consider belief in God "evil". Hmmmm.

Most women I know feel nothing but disgust for prettified girlie men.
Whut I wanna know is, who is the blonde gal that does the Almay bright eyes commercial? Also, who is the one that does the Nivea CoQ10 ads that keeps saying "Get closer"
Man, I would LUV to compromise her!!!
Lol, I like guys who get dirt under their fingernails. A guy can be clean and well groomed, without mousse, hairspray, or getting his back waxed.
Shallow people of both sexes care more about appearance than character. They get what they deserve. Good character enriches with age while physical beauty invariably deteriorates; that said, people wind up with the face they've created, in a sense.
Laugh and smile lines look beautiful, frown and scowl lines look ugly.
Therefore, a big :-)!
Write a vanity?
"I like my guy to smell like good soap."
CAN YOU SMELL ME NOW?
Hey, I sold Avon for 9 years. I took advantage of all their skin care products, so I could get a job. I went from getting carded for beer, to being asked for my senior discount card. Strokes will do that to you.
When I'm feeling up to it, I'm going to the local beauty college, and get the works done.
It's what's inside that counts. The younger generation is in need of a good foot up the rear, regarding character. Many parents these days are harassed and exhausted, just trying to pay the bills. They leave the important stuff to the government schools. Then you have the television commercials. Their subliminal messages strike these neglected kids in a way that properly raised kids don't experience.
Hahahahaha! Camay?
'I say you smella good!'
"Hahahahaha! Camay?"
That's TWENTY MULE TEAM BORAX, LADY!
;^)
Sure, you have to get over the fact that you look like a supporting character on Lou Grant, but it's a great way to travel. I had exactly one item to pass through the X-Ray, and breezed right past the lines of people waiting for bag checks at the museums.
Wow. Hope the real men don't trip over people like this if there's a crisis.
Kewl. 'Course it would be better if there were blood stains from dead game on the cargo pockets...
That would tend to defeat the purpose of speeding through security checks. Too many questions ...
