I will admit that I spent a good percentage of NYE watching a few episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. I’m in disbelief of that household. My parents would probably not find the humor in a gift of a stripper pole in their bedroom. I would find it uproarious, personally, but in an I-can’t-wait-to-see-their-faces-and-I-hope-I-don’t-get-slapped kind of way.
I also find it interesting that Bruce Jenner, lucky stepfather of the Kardashian girls, looks like he’s had about $50,000 worth of plastic surgery. He almost looks fake. WTF? He’s certainly having a Jocelyn Wildenstein moment.
So, the Jenner observation prompted a big rant about things that women do that men shouldn’t do.
1. Excessive plastic surgery. It’s not attractive on a woman, but I don’t want to see a guy with a face pulled so taut that it’s shiny. Ever so un-cute. Barry Manilow is also the poster-child (or should I say poster-old-man) for egregiously having his face sliced and pulled.
2. Fur coats. I have no trouble with fur in and of itself. I own fur. But if my man came home wearing a fur, I might find a tranquilizer gun and try to put him down. It’s not a good look for any build. If the guy is big, he looks like a better groomed version of Bigfoot. If the guy is skinny, he looks . . . well . . . like a pimp. Or maybe a rat. Whatever the case . . . not cute.
3. Purses. I don’t mind the masculine man bag, but I saw a guy on the bus that was carrying a closer to what I would consider to be a purse. It’s a bit too metrosexual — or should I say hetero-flexible — for me.
4. And speaking of hetroflexuality, I’m not into nail polish, or should I say Male polish. A big-ass no-no. Particularly on the feet. Seriously. I don’t mind the buff finish, but the shiny finish has got to go! I know that there are men who will defend it by saying that they’re taking care of themselves. I don’t mind a man who takes care of himself, and hate crusty hands and feet more than most. However, I never, ever, EVER want to hear a man tell me that we have to wait until his toes dry before we go out. Did I say never? I meant NEVER!
5. Blow-dried and curled hair. Think Al Sharpton. Don’t do it!
