Real men wear pink

Don't give me that look!

Haha. Well, I found this article in the Telegraph today, in the Lifestyles section, on page 30, at the top, in the corner.

Here it is, with my commentary in bold face texted brackets:

Real men wear pink
By The Associated Press (They must have nothing better to do...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a reason pink is a staple in most women's wardrobe - it looks good. [Wow, how right you are. So sorry that it's the ONLY thing you're right about.] And it looks good on most men, too, [Well, that, I'm sorry, but no. You are SO wrong.] according to fashion editors at GQ [what losers?] who outfitted rapper T.I. [he must've been drugging them up or something. no one in their RIGHT mind would do this.] in a pink wardrobe for the May issue.

GQ's advice to men in pink [what happened to men in black? so much more class.]:
---> Add a pink tie to a dark suit. [Black, not dark. Get real.] It'll make the outfit look more summery [what happens in the winter? you still want to look "summery"??], and it'll make you look more confident [more like, secure in your masculinity...].
---> If you're going to wear a pink suit [who would?!], make it seersucker. [This I can't comment on, seeing as I have never identified that cloth.] (A good tan helps pull off the look.) [Oh, god. I can't imagine MEN going to go get a tan...unless it was natural, definitely not. Maybe I'm just unimaginative or don't know any "cool" guys, but whoa.] Also, you can separate the seersucker pieces, perhaps pairing the jacket with jeans. [UM? Jacket plus jeans...definitely an "um".]
---> Pink doesn't have to mean country club. [Um??] Get the urban-preppy [PREP...] look by wearing pink with work boots, loose jeans or a chunky belt. [Wow. This makes me sad, but it's randomly funny...]
---> Introduce pink into your wardrobe [This is a fashion no-no for guys, I'm sorry. :p] with accessories, such as a watch strap or hat, maybe a Kangol-style cap. [Google-image that if you like. Definitely iffy, in my opinion. Pink hats. Argh. Black is okay. Not pink.]

I so hate it when guys wear pink. Leave it to the girls. You can wear the nice, classy black.

Anyone agree? Probably not. COMMENT. If you wish.
