It's a Man's World


Last weekend I went to Placerville with my friend Christina. Based on my observations many of the men there appeared to be very into jackets emblazoned with the American flag or American eagle, motorcycles and pick up trucks, and country music. Not one metrosexual; and coming from San Francisco this was quite a culture shock.

To get the full effect of being in Placerville Christina and I also listened to some country music as we drove home from Apple Hill. There was one song I found particularly entertaining; sung by a man who reminisced of the "good ol days when men were men" and vowing to never wear tight jeans (we'll just say hipsters are the exception), pluck his eyebrows etc. So when I was sent a link to a pantyhose site for men I automatically thought of that song and thought "this could never fly in Placerville."

To each his own, I won't judge. Pantyhose are a great fashion accessory, and can really keep you warm (when you are wearing a dress or skirt); so who am I to stop men from wearing them? But I have to say, I expect they'd be rather uncomfortable....
