Man bag or purse

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.
They use the term "pussification" with respect to many American males.
I don't even like it when men wear cologne. Never mind manicures and make up!
"Yeah, the same people that told me when I was 17 that at some point in my life I would be attracted to men, "
WTF? Uh...I thought they were "born" that way?
OK, I'll bite. What's a man bag?
Geez... this is so sixties. Around 1969 (get it?) one of the faggie designers came out with a shoulder bag for men. Not a shutterbug's gadget bag, but..well, you know. It was kind of paleo metrosexual. Gross.
So funny I had to do it twice lol
Men get distinguished, women get gray.
Men get character, women get wrinkles.
Don't let Brian Kilmeade see it...he'll want to borrow it...:-)
I use a holster.
Give me a well worn pair of Levi's (warning, you boycott freaks just back off) and work boots any day. I like a man that looks, feels and smells like a man. If I wanted a Loreal spokes model I'd cut my hair and wear Birkenstocks.
Tactical black is so plain. Maybe I can get one with flowers and butterflies on it.
Can't do that in Ca. Someone might see it and faint.

Hey, man,...we're all wired that way. It just takes about 18 to 20 years for this attraction to manifest itself in males. This is, of course, according to the indoctrinating source.
I'm 42. Still waiting to get turned on to guys!
I have a "man bag".
It only holds 2 things.
Sorry. I could not resist.
