gadgets for men

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

I'm afraid I cannot be to any help. Apart from a watch and my wedding ring I'm a totally "clean". Also no tattoos, piercings and the like.

There ARE viable alternatives to trousers.

A wee bit too expensive for me.
I can hardly afford a 30 dollar watch............ :(

I am fond of items hanging from my belt. I have a leather pen and pencil sheath, my leather cell phone case, and sometimes my Leatherman multitool in it's leather case.I don't often wear them all at the same time but usually there's at least one item on my belt.

Earrings, three on the left side and one on the right.

I used to have three-and-three but then some keloids framed around two piercings on the right. Removing those took two tries, first with the earrings reinserted and then, when the keloids regrew, without them. The second try worked and now seems completely stabilized, so I could get that side repierced but I just haven't bothered.

I used to wear a wrist watch, finger rings and neck chains (aka necklaces) but that was long before I started wearing skirts. And also before cell phones made watches passé.

The era of impressing people by attaching vast arrays of electronic devices to your belt seems to have passed.

Carrying a camera gives you an excuse to carry a camera bag, which may be helpful if you can't countenance a purse.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

I like a good wristwatch, and have four. Two of them are cheap everyday ones that give perfect time and cost little more than a replacement battery.(anothe example of the throwaway society :evil: ) The other two are a Russian naval watch with autowind and designed like a Rolex Oyster. the other is a Trias autowind skeleton watch for "best" wear. Neither of these fancy watches are as good a timekeeper as the quartz cheapies, but i prefer them as examples of superb craftsmanship.

As far as "bling" goes, I am too conservative to go down that path and, the thought of a nose ring does make me wonder as to what sort of stalactites could hang off them at the end of a heavy cold!

A nose ring is a perfect tool for those who suffer from obesitas but just can't stop eating.

Apart from a watch and my wedding ring, I wear a turquoise ring on my right hand and occasionally wear necklaces and/or earrings.

Not really one for jewellery but I do have a gold chain around my neck, wedding ring and a silver lovers knot ring on my right little finger. I sometimes wear ear-rings ( mainly a pair of small diamonds or a pair of small hearts ). I used to wear a watch and then mobile phones made them obsolete although I have started wearing one again. I have several but none of them more than about £20. My wife on the other hand has enough jewellery to stock a small shop, most of which I know nothing about. I don't have any tats or other body art or piercings. Not a priority for me.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

No watch, no tatts, no piercings, no rings, just a 15 year old phone, a pipe and, of course, a skirt.

Earrings, one in each ear, and at least one necklace - for "everyday" I wear 3 pendants. Earrings are virtually always dangles, some of them QUITE outrageous (I'm called "The Earring King"). If the skirt in question can support it, cell phone on one hip, and work keys on the other. Nails are always "done", colors vary. Sometimes I'll wear a hairflower too. Pierced navel - but that's only visible for dance performances (as is my "primary" tattoo).

Watches are so last century...

Save for a couple of mine that are 19th Century... I like pocket-watches. One of the nicest is my grandmother's father's watch -- which runs like a champ and sees occasional mileage out and about. Of course nobody "get it".
