Dresses on Men

Since this is Golf, etc., I'm going to be more free about branching about a bit on subject matters.

I have other blogs going, with limited attention from me.  If you click on my profile, you can find links to the others.  But most of my efforts are here.


Before we went off to Austin, we're havng a coffee in our local Peete's and there is a customer, very male, wearing a dress.  I think I'd read that this was a thing and was happening, but I'd never seen it before.

It's liberal in our neck of the woods, but it's not San Francisco liberal.  Not too much extremes going on here and most people are solidly in the "earn a good living and live in a million dollar home" life style here.

So it was a surprise.  The guy wasn't young either, maybe 40 or so.  He was with a gal and other than the dress everything seems within a couple of sigma from the mean.

Ok, there are outliers everywhere.  The staff at Peete's are young and are well tatted and hair color comes from a bottle and bits of metal dangle from parts you can see and probably others you can't.


Off to Austin we go.  Barb and I drop the folks off for an appointment and we walk over to Steinmart, which is in the same U shaped strip mall.

They have a lot of golf clothes and my closet is full of the high wicking golf shirts, a lot of which came from them.

I spot the wing/rain reversible vest with fleece lining and it's all of $22!  Well, sign me up.  I don't hesitate long and I grab it. They have nice crew socks too, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. 

At the checkout there is a young guy in a dress.  With leggings.  And purple fingernail polish. 

I must say that the polish needed some work -- all chipped and worn.  Sad when they let themselves go like that.  Guy's haircut and nothing else seems more gal than guy.  

Will this catch on?  I can't say I'm worried, but I don't find it a happy thought that this will become common.  Not sure where that attitude comes from, but if it does become common, I'll probably relax and adjust.

Have I mentioned my thoughts on those nose rings?
