I am married to a lovely man who is now 60 years of age and rarely looks in the mirror – this is despite my nagging and pleading that he really should be aware of how he might appear to the rest of the population before venturing out of the door. Despite this stubborn ‘maleness’  even he now wears a daily moisturiser, uses a balm to help him shave (though without a mirror to guide him) and has his own favourite brand of hair gel (once again applying it without the aid of a mirror). So if my man can take up the habits which were once confined to the female species, there’s a huge chance that all the other males out there will be doing the same. We’ve heard recently of the manliner (eyeliner for men) and mancara (mascara) but it seems there is nothing that is sacred to the ‘new’ man of today. If you want to see what I mean, check out www.e-mancipate.net. This is a website, one of many apparently, that teaches a man how to wear tights. Not just any old tights, but pink ones, flowery ones and of course, the staple American Tan. It even shows them how to deal with ladders. Not sure my hubby is ready for Mantyhose yet, but who knows. It would certainly make a great Christmas ‘stocking filler’!!
