Martini Moments….For the Things I Don’t Understand On the Beach
1. Has the metrosexual look gone too far when it becomes unnatural for men to have hair, viz shaved heads and waxed bodies (I don’t just mean chests and backs) including hairless armpits?
2. No matter what any trashy magazine may sell, saline implants and anorexia do no complement each other in any bikini.
3. Women who are heavily made up and marinated in strong perfume should be made to lie on a patch of wet sand next to men showered in Lynx deodorant and sunbathing teenagers who flick sand off parts of their bodies as if it were a foreign substance. While the tide is rising.
4. Why does women’s swimwear cover as little as possible while the men’s cover as much as possible?
5. People drinking piping hot coffee while sunbathing on the beach… need I say more? Pass me a Martini, puhlease!

1. Yes Metrosexuality has gone wrong for so many people, but there is nothing wrong with hairless aimpits. I can personally vouch for that.
2. No!! One Posh Spice is enough for the world!!
3. Heavily made up? Perfumed? To the beach? I think they must have gotten the wrong venue to begin with. This is nature, not a fund raising for nature.
4. Good question. It’s a men’s world of fashion I guess.
5. Makes you really tempted to go “Ooops sorry I bumped into you and spilled all that hot coffee over yourself”. But I know you’re a better person than that. Doesn’t mean you can’t entertain the idea.

#4 - Let’s all be honest here for a minute and admit that very rarely does anyone want to see a naked man. Personally, I shower with my eyes closed and get dressed in the dark. I grant you that people want to see a defined chest and muscular legs, but I’d say most people want us men to have on a nice pair of shorts at the same time. Women are much more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing during beach season. The sparse amounts of material is a compliment from the world of fashion.
…..Or what Kamigoroshi said about it being a men’s world. But you know - one or the other
p.s - Did you chalk/draw the pic? Very impressive.

Could they at least not have an iced cappucino? I think that would make more sense. I’m so jealous that you are able to write Martini Moments - Beach Edition. I need me some warm weather!

Kami:
1. So do you wax or shave?
2. I mean more anorexic than that…
3. The mind boggles…
4. Hmph.
5. I can also entertain the idea of sand in the coffee…
GSR:
I don’t believe that women’s bodies are more aesthetically pleasing. From a woman’s point of view, I don’t want to see other women. And not all women look good in sparse material yet we are still subjected to it.
4. very rarely does anyone want to see a naked man, speak for yourself! I guess you are
PS Oh I wish! This is a photo I took (and edited) of a napkin. I can’t even draw straight lines with a ruler.
EM: You’d think common sense would prevail. I think this is the last of the warm weather unfortunately but I’ll be praying for more sun.

1. Hmmm…do you really want to know or shall I let your imagination run its course?
2. Sweet Jesus, how thin can you go? Won’t they fall over due to the weight of their breasts?
4. Well it is true on so many levels. Men don’t want to see other men’s naughty parts unless they swing in that direction. Then again, maybe there should be a compromise. Show me yours and I’ll show you mine. I can live with that.

Kami:
1. I asked… didn’t I??
2. I wouldn’t want to witness it!
4. But women do show a lot more than men. If only the reverse was true.
March 3rd, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I totally agree with #1. I prefer men to be natural, not fussing over their chest stubble.
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:34 pm
1. Alright. I’ll admit that I shave. I haven’t gone as far as to invest in waxing just yet.
4. This might sound odd but I do notice some men showing off a lot more. Maybe it’s just with the company I’m with. I don’t perve at women and they always perve at men.

WendyB: welcome and thank you for the comment
Can you imagine when the fashion trends will return to hairy chests, arms and legs (I draw the line at backs), it will be like a jungle again!
Kami:
1. Go on… it doesn’t hurt. That much!
4. Sounds like you notice more men than women. Just like me

HAHAHAHA! Beautiful, Clea. I think it’s hilarious how skinny women with implants have that “stretched plastic over volleyballs” look. To each their own I guess but…please stop with the implants. Please? As for metrosexual men, I agree - the day men started ordering fruit water with a twist of lemon - that’s when John Wayne curled up and died.

I thought we had established that back, crack and sack was the general rule on men’s waxing.
The rest of the manscaping should be accomplished with an electic razor and a #2 snap on,
In other words, it is okay to have hair on your chest, but it should be tamed, and not the Brazilian rain forest.
Is shaved head a metrosexual thing?
I didn’t know that–I mean, except when the guy is bald. The “pull the remaining hair surrounding your bald pate in a ponytail like Dharma’s dad” is definitely not metrosexual.

Jarod: if implants make a woman feel good, it’s up to her. But for someone with anorexia (and Im not exaggerating on the thinness), it doesn’t make sense. You know metro men who order that? Whatever happened to beer and Scotch?!
Zen: back, crack and sack with hairy armpits? I agree on tame hair, and that goes anywhere, not just on the chest. However, the sight of hairy backs make me cringe so wax wax wax!
And thank you! Shaved heads are men’s way to hide their baldness, and no more, which is ironic because there appears to be a lot more (young) bald men around.

Shaved heads must also come with a nice body. At least lean, if not well toned. Having too much of a flab, well…one of a the reasons why I never shaved my head. At least not yet. And there is nothing wrong with fruit water with a twist of lemon either. Pretentious but it does taste alright for me.
We’ll throw in the bourbon and Bacardi later on to dispel any notion that I am a metrosexual.

Kami: I confess that I find nothing desirable about a shaved head. Even on a great body, it detracts from the total look. I know many women find it hot, but I look the other way.
I was going to say if you want something fruity/citrus-y, just add vodka!
March 4th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
1. Legs was bad enough. I am putting my foot down at armpits.
2. Especially pec implants in a Leopard print Mankini
3. There is a certain type of bloke who paddles out into the surf reeking of “product”. They are known as clubbies. LOL
4. see (2)
5. So… you’ve been to Blackpool then?

GBoy:
2. Eww…
1. Hurts, doesn’t it?
3. is he trying to fend off sharks??
4. More eww…
5. Will do on my next holiday!

Hey: perhaps I’m odd, but I’m one of those people who has NEVER shaved my armpits and yet have barely any hair there and what hair I DO have is white… I’d hate to be one of those men with great black clouds sprouting from under each arm… ukkch!!
March 5th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Gledwood: hello and welcome to my new site.
I don’t know many men who shave/wax their armpits. And as long as nothing else sprouts… come to think of it, your imagery is kind of disturbing to see, big black long hairy armpits… shudder…
