He's Got L'Eggs: Pantyhose For Guys

I've been forthright about men wearing makeup - even dished out a tip or two to help eager fellas along. I even blogged about a topic that should potentially have stayed in a top rapper's bathroom.



But even I draw the line at these.



Man pantyhose, contrary to e-MANcipate's manifest-destiny-style declaration to, "Accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item," is something I'm not accepting. Me. Champion of manicures and guyliner. Drawing the line at pantyhose (uh, mantyhose?). I mean, can we have a little mystery here?

The only pose you can strike in pantyhose is that of upright and mobile sausage casing. And let's be honest: despite the name, double-ply nylon doesn't "control" anything except an ability to breathe.

Men, wear your foundation. Wear eyeliner, if you want. But in the name of hair that must remain unmatted, DO NOT touch the pantyhose.

Jenny Muller, the man-wedge came out this season. I think it was Givenchy??

But I could wear the man-hose....depending on the club! And that's it, to the appropriate club!

What is this obsession of trying to make men into women? Can't they just be men?

This is a horrible idea. About as bad as women wearing pants. I mean can't the genders just stay to their own conservative clothing for once. Lets all embrace status quo and squash individuality.
