Wanna Know How I Know You’re Gay?
According to this brilliant website, the next big fashion trend for the tragically hip urban male is … wait for it, wait for it …
Mantyhose (as in ‘pantyhose for men’).
Yes, you read that right — MANTYHOSE.
Apparently aware of the stigma attached with wearing women’s underwear, the stated purpose of this website is to ‘accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item.”
As such, the site provides — among other things — an illustrated male pantyhose wearer’s survival guide for any potential ‘mantyhosers’ wishing to successfully integrate their new tights fashion accessory into their wardrobe. Among the serving suggestions is this gem:
Act and behave as usual: this way you are communicating to others that you are in fact a usual guy.
Only a very few people will notice that you are wearing pantyhose. You should communicate with your clothes and behavior that you are not there to show off yourself in pantyhose, but rather to do your regular business – shopping, walking etc. You may also wear support pantyhose at the beginning for more “legitimacy”.
A usual guy? Legitimacy?
What. The. Fuck.
For the love of Christ! You’re wearing women’s underwear and you’re worried about legitimacy?!? Good god man, it’s a new year, a new President … a new beginning — get a fucking grip!!
Uggh … I just threw up a little in my mouth.
MANTYHOSE?
If men are crazy enough to accept the curse of pantyhose and its discomforts, I support them. They should probably wax their legs though–otherwise they’d look ridiculous.
oh my. I am going to have to swipe that photo and post it on my yoga blog for all the freaks who google “naked yoga chicks” so they can get an eyeful of that dude. thanks!
Why? I get it if you want to crossdress or if you’re just a weirdo who likes wearing pantyhose. But why does this have to be a fashion trend?
I do like it. If Linda can wear a pair of jeans, why couldn’t Lucas wear a pair of mantyhose? Must be fun.
Wow. Mantyhose. Tights. Whatever floats your boat.
Note to self: No mantyhose for Matt’s birthday gift.
the big seller in japan last year was the “manzier”-a bra for men. for real.
Men were actually wearing this sort of thing BEFORE women adopted it. It did not originate from women’s fashion. WTF, get a history book. So far the baggy worn out pants look like losers.
I have been wearing womens nylon and satin panties and thigh-highs for many years now. Im 100% straight and I like the feel of the nylon against my skin. Don’t knock it if you havn’t tried it.
