more queer eye thoughts
Just watched a couple more episodes and now I understand why they dropped the "for the straight guy" from the title. That might be my favorite episode so far.
Also, I find it fascinating that there is this over-arching theme (at least so far) when it comes to men and self-care and understanding how much their outward appearance effects their feelings towards themselves. I think men in society are taught that they don't have to look good, that their clothes/hair/etc. don't really matter. But the show proves that just a simple shave and a hair cut and some good fitting pants can change EVERYTHING.
I know that this is how I felt after I discovered Torrid and the way their clothes fit. I was never good at finding things in my size that were fashionable so I just always shopped at Kohls, which was fine but I love how young and sexy the Torrid outfits make me feel. I get so many compliments and it just makes me feel good and DAMN I like looking good too!
We focus so much on gender roles and expectations for women, but there are just as many issues for men in our society, they just seem to swing the other way.
Deep thoughts for a Friday night, yeah?
