Meggings

Nope, fashion is not one the topics usually dealt with on this blog. There are some stories, however, that are just too shocking to pass up . . . like the piece on the Guardian website this morning about men's leggings, or meggings as they are now called.

Well in a way I'm relieved to see that men can also be manipulated into becoming fashion victims. Perhaps because their victimhood is relatively new, however, they appear more tragic. But I say, "Right on Fashion Industry!" because if a guy is lame enough to buy "meggings" and think that that makes him cool, then I'm left with the hope that the industry will now turn more of its attention to making men--rather than women--look ridiculous.

That must be some kind of victory for women . . . right?

  1. Fun with DICK and JANE

    As leery as i am, Inez into wadeing in to a woman's fashion since. I'll wear what I've always know as high waders. Apparently some people prefer to call them Meggins. By no means am i a fashionista but didn't we go threw this in the Gay community with Chaps.

    As a civilisation we are breaking the barriers on traditional male and female roles That are now better determined by what you choose to wear. Actually should we look at this as a major triumph for Humanity?

    Think of this. Lets call our guy in the Meggins. Dick Short for Richard. Dick is a progressive male who started wearing some of his sisters fashion accessories as he was growing up. He is comfortable in Meggins. We know nothing of Dicks sexuality. Nor is it anyone business. Unless you are attracted to Dick and find him handsome enough to take home.


    Here is the study that needs to be done.

    If ya line up 10 men and 10 women and ask who would like to take Dick home. You take the 2 women and 4 men attracted to Dick into a room to get to meet Dick. Now our man Dick has scored in a major way he gets to quickly choose who gets to go home with Dick. With this we have saved a lot of time in the traditional courting ritual. We have to thank Dicks bravery and fashion sense for that.

    Inez think of the amount of time Dick has saved you. Obviously you are not impressed with this Dicks fashion sense and there by not attracted to him.

    If you had seen Dick in Jeans would you have been Attracted to him only to see him for lunch tomorrow and he shows up in Meggins. Let Dick ware what he wants so you can make a better choice.

    I make a small point but is it valuable.

    So can i ask you would you still be attracted to Dick if you saw him in Meggins? Does his fashion sense make him unattractive to you? If so Thank guys like Dick for doing something for women that men have always been able to do choose Jane based some what on what she chooses to wear. To my personal choice I like Jane without lace makeup shorter hair less maintenance and jeans. Chaps maybe if this involves livestock.

    A many a manly men have discovered they are often confused by an attractive man with the right fashion sense and wig Meggins and some surgery.

    We have blurred the once clear choice of Dick and Jane. In or fast paced society its fashion as a time saver. You gotta love the Adaptation of the Human condition.

  2. Dude you crack me up!!

    Okay, when I was young and shallow, I met a very handsome man in uniform. I liked him and he liked me so we made plans to go out. When he showed up to pick me up, he was wearing a bright orange Michael Jackson leather jacket with a bunch of fucking zippers. I was crushed. It was too late to back out of the date, so off we went.

    I swear I ran into ALL of my friends that night, and they kept pulling me aside to say: "Cute guy, but what's up with that fucking jacket." So I dumped him.

    True story . . . sad but true.

    Okay, I've grown up a bit since then, but Dick had better be wearing some jeans if he wants to have a chance with me ;-)
