new buzz word these days is the `metrosexual man`. The
prefix `metro` is used to describe this man because he`s
usually the product of an urban environment. These men
aren`t afraid to shop for clothes or spend time in the
hair salon to get a cool do. Metrosexuals care about grooming:
they get waxed, manicured and have a regular skin care
regime. This new generation of straight boys who have
a gay sense of fashion have harobji`s everywhere shaking
their heads in disgust.
What
ever became of the `man`s man`? laments one older gentleman.
`Back in our day, we had war and were fighting to survive
and put food on the tables. Now all the boys have gone
soft. Pretty soon they will be wearing makeup! Aya!`
And
wearing make-up they are indeed! Men`s cosmetics are
already on the market and sell especially well in Korea.
Even though this may seem shocking, alot of ladies are
pleased that men are finally giving a damn about how
they look. One girl even goes as far as to say: `Fashion
is the answer to world peace. If men spent more time
thinking about which belt goes with thier shirt, they
would have less time to think about blowing each other
up!`
The
metrosexual man is the ultimate product of the modern
times. Let`s see what the metrosexuals are wearing in
Korea! We invite your comments whether they be scathing
or complimentary. e-mail me liza@seoulstyle.com
Confessions
of a Closet Metrosexual.
By:
Christopher Dore
when I first heard about the term metrosexual, I was
intrigued, I thought a guy that is into fashion, into
facials and spas was obviously `gay` and there is absolutely
nothing wrong with that. However, I soon came to the
realization that I was absolutely wrong. Although my
friends and I are not rushing to have apple martinis
and facials after a night of clubbing at the `in` crowd
bars, I realized that I am (I cannot believe I am about
to say this), a closet metrosexual. At first it was
somewhat of a shock but as I further delved into my
soul and bathroom, I realized that I do get a haircut
more than once a month and I usually ask for the latest
Beckham or Brad Pitt style, I buy GQ to see the latest
styles, I have more cologne then necessary, I like art
and theatre and I actually like shopping. I know I am
definitely straight so the conclusion is that I am obviously
metrosexual. Probably not a full fledged metrosexual
but clearly on my way, I plan to visit a spa late this
month. But who knows I might switch to being a technosexual,
since I just bought a new I-pod Mini and a new laptop.
