A tall order for even the most fashionable of gentlemen: High heels for men are on the rise

It's the last bastion of women's outerwear that hasn't been appropriated by the more fashionable men out there - until now.

High heels are, apparently, de rigueur for men.

To the possible chagrin of some more traditional males, those with a fashionable eye and an eccentric sensibility are taking the women's power dressing weapon of choice and making it their own.

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

'It’s a power thing. You’re higher than everybody else. You make more sound. You walk a different way. It makes your legs look better,' said Mr Alexander.

Which is what women - and a certain type of man including Louis XIV and Mr Haygood - have known for centuries.

Couple of words seemed to be missing there, I believe I've fixed it now.

Oh for God's sake.   :thatsright:   And don't you hate the snotty fashion writing?  What do you mean, de rigueur?  That means mandatory, proper and expected in order to fit the standard.  

Those fairies look like idiots.

If they ever think of some way they could have menstrual cramps and labor pain, then they can have those as well.

I hope (not really) that the ER near that stretch of Hollyweird Blvd has a trauma unit because with weaponry like that on the streets the next spate of cat fights is going to be brutal.  :hyper:

By the title, I was thinking this was an article about the recent "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" event, to bring awareness to domestic violence. Those two are asking for violence! Scary weird

There was a Harley riding biker in front of me the other day, on the back of his helmet was a sticker that read:

Sometimes I think they are putting something in the water.  But then I remember, it happened on South Park. Everything happens on South Park first. It is our window into the future.

First there was "gay cowboys eating pudding" and then there was Brokeback Mountain.
Then there was the hippie jam festival that almost ate South Park and then there was Occupy Wall Street (same episode also contains the cure to OWS).
This goes back to the metro-sexual episode.

H5.

Every now and then some trend setter try to tell men its many to wear women's clothing.
*** we are still a pioneering country. Real men have rejected this idiocy from the start.

Liberals however are NOT real men. They think this is enlightenment. Fools.

My daughter, who attended bible college in Dallas, wasn't shocked.  She said, "Oh.  I've been to Oaklawn."  They did evangalism there.

I'm already tall and not gay, so :wtf2:

I bet these things are just as popular as the Occupy Wall Street/wherever crap.
