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.

"I don't even like it when men wear cologne. Never mind manicures and make up!"
RHETT: Frankly darling, I give such a damn that if you'll hand me the cold cream and loofah I'll pat it all off, just like a good Metrognome....

Now THAT's somebody with an identity problem.
I'n not talking male vs. female identity issues.
I'm talking human vs. raspberry-eggnog cake with chocolate sauce drizzle identity issues....
This crap has been around for years. Real men don't spend a lot of money on their appearance, and the companies that provide foo foo, are just trying to climb in your wallet. I like my guy to smell like good soap.
My dad used aftershave on Sunday. When I cleaned out my parents house, there was enough aftershave/cologne gift sets to choke a horse. He was a mailman, and got lots of gifts from people on his route.
This is just a marketing strategy, not a trend. Relax, they can't make you gay : )
I don't need hair remover nature took care of that for me! LOL.
Oh – yea. I forgot – some have very delicate sensibilities, thinking you might be tempted to shoot an attacking bear or cougar.
Now that I see what it is, it could be a good idea – particularly in warm weather when a jacket is out of place. I haven’t found a good concealable holster I can wear with a T-shirt.
Since this is a men's beauty products thread....
I did find a lovely concealable holster that goes with T-Shirts.
My monitor wouldn’t know how to handle a day without its morning spew of coffee!
Very Good!
I second that! I find them very attractive also, the best!
Yeah, I started molting a few years back.
Well, so do I. 'Course it looks like this (one would after twenty years):
Keep one for tools and one for a drop-kit. Although I haul around enough other miscellaneous junk in the later that I've been accused of carrying a "man purse".
