I just heard something on the 6:00 News (Cleveland, OH) I was wondering if anyone has heard of? There's actually a NAME for STRAIGHT GUYS who love to have the weekly Manicure/Pedicure/Facial!


I don't mean to sound judgemental but, really - I am all for the natural manicure for a man, especially in business. But why would he want a pedicure, it feels unnatural, silly even to think about. I mean filed toes, lotioned feet, what next. And the facial was given to this fellow with a beard and mustache, he was loving it! They say you learn somethin' new everday!!! :-)

Spoken like a person who has never experienced the joy of a good pedicure.

Max - what are you PYCHIC??? I cant get over that you could possibly guess that for it is TRUE what you say....I have never experienced the joy of a good pedicure; my feet are so awful. I DO however have one of those Conair foot baths and my (loving!) husband does my feet - so to speak.

How uncanny that you should respond so ACCURATELY and INSIGHTFULLY to my message. Good for you, Max. (not meant derogitorally) :-)

TGIF!!!! Robin

The Monk is back with more re: FEET

The best foot cream out there (and you can all thank me later)is called Foot Relief, by AVEDA ("the art and science of pure flower and plant essences")This is unbelievable stuff folks. Not cheap, either....It says active herbs to gently exfoliate, revitalize and nouorish stressed feet!
Smells like mint. You Metrosexuals would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff, too!!

So...if a gay man enjoys facials,pedicures & manicures..does that make him a MomoSexual?

You know we had an article in the paper about brad pitt being metrosexual. i had no idea what that meant and they didn't really say in the article. i asked several of the people i work with and they didn't know either. i am sooo glad i know now.

I was hoping i wasn't missing out on something!!

Actually, metrosexual is more than just a man who likes a pedicure--and there is little reason to have a WEEKLY ped, anyhow, unless your toenails grow like a Daschound's and you have calluses and bunions like an 80 year old coal miner.

Anyhow, it's a guy who has as many facial/hair products as you and he's sorta ambiguously straight, kinda like Jerry Seinfeld was. Most of my friends here in L.A. are like that, too. They take good care of their skin and their hair....The NYTimes coined the term, from what I remember, a few months ago (or at least first discussed it at length). If there are more of them, there will be less need for "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy."

Hi Superstar,Zachsmom, and Tishala!!!

What was wierd last night was that I wrote tis post after the 6:00 news, and then the show last night we get treated to NATE getting a french pedicure from June!! How ironic, considering I do not get the feeds I had no idea! Did anyone else catch what David said about the guys getting pedicures in the house, cracked me up, ROTFL!!!

David is my favorite now with all his wise crackin;!!!

Tishala- crack me up! I think its great if a guy can afford to be that pampered; it doesn't surprise me in places like L.A. or N.Y; being fast track, hip places, the trend setters of our times! I am glad to learn about this new trend for men - guess I have been stuck in the office way too long......:-)

We should add "TANNING BEDS" to the MUST HAVE list of things for a Metrosexual. Guys using tanning salons, oh how common...

So, that's manicures,pedicures, facials, and TANS
for these fellas, let's not forget HAIR COLOR &
PERMANENTS, too. Jeez oh man what will it be next, FLORAL smelling mens'Cologne!!!??? Just thinking, mean no disrespect...I say go for it!

Not just hair color, but weaves!

MAX-Hey MAXIE I ws looking for you..up, down, all around...(insert graphics here!)

Can't IMAGINE the weave thing. Is there enough hair to attach there?? Now that about covers everything!!!...

Max

Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 02:49 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
well, weaving hair together is one way to go, but i'm talking about a color weave. that's when the stylist puts bits of color all over in those lovely foil packets so that you get highlights throughout your hair. :)

Now, I DID have a conversation with a friend today where he kidded about growing his nose hairs and his ear hairs. I told him then he could use one as the weft and one as the warp and weave a nice rug over his top-knot bald spot. It was pretty funny to envision!
