To be fair (as if life is fair), there is one group of society that can openly wear such sweaters and wear it well, little grey or blue hair grandmothers. They are allowed and even encouraged to wear the Christmas sweaters that have lights and music, everybody else, NO NO and NO.
 
 
 I’m sure some people will disagree with me on this, but they will be far and few in between. In fact taking a very formal poll, I asked my friends (yes I have several), friends and neighbors, with a +/-4% error, showed that men who are wearing said sweaters received those sweaters from either their mother or wife. Now I can understand that for the 40 year man still living in his mom’s basement playing dungeons and dragons, but those from your wife? Do you think she’s buying the sweater and making you wear it to get a laugh at your expense? Maybe she’s buying the sweater because you’ve been naughty all year and she’s making you pay.

Heels, they can sure make a difference if how a lady looks, you men know what I’m saying. But this is what perplexes me; putting your foot in a device (high heel shoe) at an uncomfortable angle, and levitates yourself up to 6 inches off the ground on a little 1/8” point. It would be one thing if you just stood there, but no in the women’s world they also walk. Real women do not just walk on a perfectly flat surface, but real women have become so adapt they walk on uneven surfaces (cobble stone), walk in soft surfaces (grass), climb stairs, run, and even dance. Men trust me; we’re not that good, compared to this feet (pun intended) of athletic skills.



 Now I have never personally worn heels, but am impressed what women can accomplish in heels and all for the sake of looking GOOD. How did this all come about? Did several women sit around and say if we put this shoe at an unnatural angle and step into it, our feet will kill us, we’ll have the risk of twisting our ankles or worse, we’ll need to buy longer pants and dresses, but we’ll look GOOD, really GOOD. As the cosmoses know, nobody knows how women think, not even women, it’s the last great mystery. Back to the dilemma of heels, I just went to a web site, you guessed it http://www.heels.com and they have everyday shoes with heels, work shoes with heels, party shoes with heels, and fancy shoes with heels. I’m already on overload and I haven’t even researched color, materials, or heel heights. On one of my searches I found this Oxymoron (words that when put together contradict each other) “How to feel more comfortable when wearing high heels”, at least from a guy’s perspective.


According to http://hubpages.com/hub/6-inch-heels: There are high heels and then there is the 6 inch heel which is a whole different kettle of fish. With the 6 inch heel, the ball of the foot is at an angle and the heel raised so much so that the foot resembles that of a ballerina on tip toes. If you needed help with how to walk in heels before, this is a whole new chapter! These 6 inch heels aren't for the faint hearted.



Back to the subject at hand, lady’s wear high heels because as a fashion statement, a way to make the legs elongated and more defined or as a seduction technique, maybe all three at once! It’s just that simple. They do it for us men, so men stop complaining when your lady complains that her heels are killing her feet. Be supportive and let your lady know she looks GOOD in those heels. You ladies who wear heels, wear them loud and proud.

We all know having holes in your jeans are very trendy. Girls think they are sooo cute. Some jeans with holes do indeed look cute in a trendy way. They break up the look of the jean and can give you a one of a kind look. Now how those brand new jeans got the holes and wear marks to start with is a big mystery to most of us, especially us men. The jeans I have got their holes the old fashion way, by me wearing them a lot. Back to the new jeans with holes. The problem with all new cute trends is that designers start to go overboard. For example:

Glasses, the type you need to help see, are a funny accessory. Funny in terms of why some people wear them. Originally glasses were simply worn to see, nothing more, nothing less.



In fact there was a resistance on the part of society to wearing glasses. Member of society felt it made them look funny and showed everyone that they needed help to see properly.


Boy times have changed. No longer are we content to just wearing glasses to see, they must also make a statement. They must set us apart from the masses.

The glasses we wear tells the world if we are academically inclined, young, old, hip, cool, have attitude, or that we are just fun people. When I say fun, it could be fun loving or just that we are different, you know what I mean, just weird. Our glasses identify us, it gives us a sense of being, being different than the other three billion people. It screams to the entire world, we are different than you, at least in our own minds.

 During the 1980’s things were big, I mean really big, really big glasses were in. Not sure why the glasses had to cover the whole face, but that's what they seem to do. Now some of you out there still have parents and grandparents that still wear the extra jumbo size glasses.

Then aviator, police reflective glasses were oh so cool. You know the glasses that were like a mirror.  You could check yourself out while looking into the glasses.  They thought you were really interested in them, but you were really checking out your hair.  Looking back at old pictures, I can tell you it was a fad; we weren’t really that cool, but for several years we all thought we were.


Then all of a sudden everybody was wearing dark sunglasses. I mean so dark you couldn’t see their eyes, and I think most couldn’t see out They were wearing dark sunglasses inside building, at social events, award ceremonies, even weddings. It was the cool thing to do, or at least they thought it was, refer back to previous comment on aviator glasses. Then styles really took a change.

We had euro glasses, skinny glasses, colored glasses, colored lenses, and glasses that blinked. Glasses became a fashion statement, an accessory to ones clothing. There are people who wear glasses with clear lenses just so they can wear cool glasses and set themselves apart from everybody else.

 So when you need some help in seeing far or near, or nearly not that far, get some funky, sexy, stylin glasses. Ones that says “look at me, I’m different than you.” What you really want to say is “look I me, I look better than you.” No matter what everybody else is wearing, wear your glasses loud and proud.

Hair styles and haircuts says a lot about a person. People get their hairstyles for a number of reasons. Some get a certain style because they want to look like their favorite movie star. Some get a certain style to accentuate their facial features, yet still others get a certain style to set them apart from society.

They want to stand out, go against the establishment. These unique or outlandish styles make for great conversation in society.


The question has to be asked, when you looked in the mirror, did you really say to yourself, boy I really looked “hot”, I look good: REALLY? Maybe they do, maybe all they want is passive attention, maybe they’re blind to what others see their hair as. Either way, we all have styles we like and don’t like.


Take for example, men’s combovers. The only people who think they look great are the ones doing the combovers. They stand in front of the mirror, spending a lot of time combing the three


stands of hair into a position giving them the look of a complete head of hair, or so they think. Then they look in the mirror and say, “boy do I look great”. Let’s hope it’s not a windy day.




Just like clothing styles, hair styles come in many looks, colors, and effects, iIt an individual thing. We wear the look because we think it looks great on us and our friends tell us it look great and the opposite gender says it looks great. So we are convinced, out hair looks great, so we wear it for all the world to see.


So tomorrow when you do your hair in front of the mirror, remember it only matters what you think. So wear it loud and wear it proud.
