now I understand why Project Runway doesn't do menswear

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 14:52 (twelve years ago)

I'm sure I've seen no. 6 worn by a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 14:56 (twelve years ago)

these are not good

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago)

i could see myself trying to pull off a slightly oversized number 5 but that's about it

surm, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago)

I am amazed that there are two options that contain the word "tits" in their descriptions and I'm not voting for either of them

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:02 (twelve years ago)

note, i'm not against men wearing draped tops or body-conscious clothing but these are just awkward and badly designed

even if these weren't terrifyingly ugly, they picked the wrong model

Infamous dickbiscuits (silby), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago)

the buttons on 5 are infuriating, what are you even fastening with that

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago)

I love them all, they look like they're from a low rent early 80s sci fi film.

Sug ban (Nicole), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago)

i'm going to channel nina garcia and just say that these do not look expensive enough

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago)

that is exACTLY right

Nice to see that costume designers for 70's Italian sci-fi movies are still getting work.

there are a lot of well executed junctions in that top.

If your shirts make bodybuilding underwear models look like they have a beer gut, you need to design them differently.

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago)

Is that model's expression supposed to be come-hither sexy or "why the fuck am I wearing this"?

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:16 (twelve years ago)

i would just like to take this moment to say that some of the shit michael kors says is priceless and i do wish he could comment on these clothes

tom of finland is all about a hypermasculine iconography of (un)dress, these clothes are just way way too abstract / conceptual for ToF imho

also there are no 15" penises

I am pretty certain that if you ever purchased anything such as the Columbia House 12-for-1 offer (which I did twice! once for LPs, once for CDs), you ended up on a list that was eventually sold to International Male; either that or all of the Prince albums I bought was aggregated into a marketing profile that was really interested in purchasing blousey shirts and jock straps.

my wife's grandmother recently sent her a catalog that had some normal looking dresses on the first couple of pages that become more and more witchy as you page through, finally giving up altogether and just giving you pages of vibrators and medieval swords to choose from

The article on the Hot Child Junk Jeans pictured above is full of awkward mother-son interactions.

Have you heard any There’s Something About Mary-esque horror stories? Actually yes–my son, Octavio! A one time deal, when he was like 16-years-old, and he actually got the skin caught in a zipper. And it was just like a screech from the bathroom… and I just knew! It’s one of those times in a mother’s life where you just think, you know, I hoped this would never happen in my lifetime! And of course it did. So that inspired the buttons.
