I don't know shit about fashion, nor do I care to.  My wardrobe consists mainly of 2 colors, black & faded black.  I'm not going to pretend or understand styles or metrosexuality.  But, as you've guessed from reading my columns, I know what I hate.  I hate seeing guys wear pink.

I don't know when this started.  For years pink has been a feminine color, not that I have a problem with femininity.  Pink has always bothered me, not for its womanly connotations.  Pink has struck me as a soft color worn by soft people.  When I see a guy wearing pink I wonder what the hell is wrong with him.  What are you trying to tell us?  Be a man!  Watch a fucking spaghetti western!  Do something manly!  Make love to a woman's bosom!

I'm not your typical guy.  I don't like sports.  I don't know much about cars.  I don't drink beer.  That doesn't mean I watch Lifetime or make sure my dinner matches my belt.  I think every occasion is appropriate for me to wear jeans that were once black along with a Guns N' Roses t-shirt I got at the Meadowlands in 1992.  Guys are supposed to be dark leather-clad figures, not pastel-colored wearing people who get manicures!
