Re: NYT article from 1984

Do women lose their femininity when they’re seen in flannel shirts, baggy jeans and Timberlands? Of course not! Do I lose my masculinity when I’m out and about in a dress and heels? Of course not! These foolishly rigid mindsets regarding gender being joined at the hip to clothing is patently ridicul...

Re: Andersson Bell male models wearing skirts

With prices running as high as $942 for one of those skirts, not to mention it looks bland as hell, that's a hard pass from me.

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

Every now and then, I get called “Miss”, usually by salespeople in stores, but, that doesn’t bother me. In fact, I find it rather amusing, so I don’t bother correcting anyone because I enjoy the private joke about being mistaken for a woman when I’m anything but.

Re: Rethinking Lingerie....

I don’t know if this falls under the category of lingerie, but, I’ve recently taken up sleeping in nightgowns. I mean, they are non-bifurcated garments after all, and the satiny fabric is cool and comfortable against my skin on those sticky summer nights, much moreso than t-shirts and boxers. I’ve b...

Sadly, I can't sing, not even in the shower, and the only musical instrument I can play is the kazoo! :lol:

John
That is the term I use, and, for me, I find it to be fitting.

Re: Dresses?

I’ve been wearing dresses exclusively on my outings for months now, and I’ve been loving the experience, so much that I don’t even think about donning a skirt these days. I concur with Midas that it is indeed most liberating to wear a dress, and a hell of a lot of fun too, that’s the important thing!

Re: Rethinking Lingerie....

Thank you Carl! I feel what you are doing IS timely and the way you are doing it is just right. My comments were meant to point out how lingerie can assist one in keeping his outward appearance modest, discreet and acceptable. So, as Carl was suggesting, if anyone else has any additional thoughts o...

Re: Rethinking Lingerie....

It's a bit of a "science experiment". I'm trying to ascertain whether a balance can be struck between a practical question that occasionally crops up and the "Iron Fist" rule. Styles have definitely changed over the years, and I don't really think for the better. It's dovetailed...

Re: What it takes to be a man in a skirt

“Gender Outlaw”, I like that. I also call myself a “Fashion Freestyler” since, as most folks here know, I go beyond, far beyond just skirts as I wear dresses, heels, jewelry and carry a purse when out and about. But yeah, you have to exhibit a level of boldness, confidence and self assuredness when ...

Re: NYT: How Short Is Too Short for Men’s Pants?

Well, that was mildly amusing. Speaking just for myself, I wear a 34 inch inseam which falls just below my ankles, and that's good enough for me.

Re: A Knight in a dress.

Not for nothing, but I wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing a dress so incredibly dowdy, not even a decent pair of heels to boot. I would’ve worn an evening dress or a full blown ball gown, complete with stilettos. Still, I admire Mr. Perry’s boldness for having worn what he did, he just could’ve ...

Re: MensHealth: Megan Fox Responds to Claims That She 'Forces' Her Sons to Wear Dresses

I’m gonna guess this Robbie Starbuck is a Republican since his party has been on an absolute jihad against all things LGBTQ of late. Well, screw him, he has no business criticizing another person’s parenting.

Re: Glamour

Yea, you see her undies. No big deal they cover more than the Bikini she was photographed in hundreds of times. I'm more impressed that she was navigating that steel grate in Heels. https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/marilyn-monroe-with-the-skirt-of-her-white-dress-blowing-as-she-over-picture-id5...
