Ask and ye shall receive!


The Angry Black Parents are jamming to zydeco music in Long Beach while I am getting ready to go to a good friend’s wedding. I had a clothing crisis earlier — NOTHING FITS!! — and called up my friend who, anticipating my clothing crisis, had dresses in various sizes all picked out for me to try on. Went over to her house and had a chat with the bride: “Are you excited?” Her response: “Meh. I just want it over with.” I guess that’s what happens when you’ve already been living in sin with your husband-to-be for six years and are knocked up with his spawn.

The three of us then chatted about the marvel that is spanx. (My one friend is wearing a “spanx scuba suit” as she eloquently put it.)

Being a lady is a blast, innit? Do men have stuff that they do when they get their fancy on? Like special underroos that keeps your junk in place?  Sock garters?  I don’t know.

Anyway, time to go paint my face.

Have a good evening, y’all.

    Have a good time, ABL. Weddings are such fun.

    Nate Dogg is a cutie!

    And in order to find out what men do when they “get their fancy on,”:

    1. Find a fancy dude and take him someplace where it’s private but there is light enough to see.
    2. Unwrap the package, starting with the [real] bow tie.
    3. Carefully save all the little pins and clips, etc. He’ll want them later.
    4. Explore.
    5. Do not come back and report. It is a secret.

    Have fun!

    Nope, not really; it doesn’t provoke much comment if men look fat, even in formalwear. Sock garters disappeared once elastic got good enough that socks actually stayed up without them.

    The closest thing to that I experienced was when my dad took me to the old man suit store to get my first suit, and the tailor asked me which side I dress on. I had no idea what he was talking about. (I had never worn boxers.)

    It’s easier in many ways, but on the other hand, for most dress-up occasions we have the choice of wearing blue or charcoal gray, and very few styles to choose from.

    I wore the special underoos that kept my junk in place when I used to play softball and soccer (not at the same time). Definitely not while getting my fancy on. That’s quite different. I recommend following Linda’s advise to find out what that is.

    If a guy needs something to put his junk in place, he’s not going to bother with it because he’ll be the guy trying to grind on all the drunk bridesmaids.

    The extent of a guy’s prep is essentially the time/money he’s willing to put into getting a suit that complements his frame best. It’s not nothing, but once you have it done you don’t have to do shit the day of, which rules. (If you are doing it the day of, you are definitely stressing the fuck out, but you can’t blame societal mores or anything for it. You just fucked up.)

    Well, I’m not in need of a Manzier yet, thankfully, and the 10# lost in the last 2 weeks is trending me in the right direction on that. No girdle for me either… yet.

    I often switch from boxers to briefs when putting on the big suit. Boxers work well in jeans which holds everything in place, but the suit lets everything fly around and in boxers too often I forget that everything isn’t in order and sit on a veggie and squeal like a girl and the evening just goes downhill from there.

    Mostly it’s just the jewelry to deal with. Proper shirts don’t have built-in collar stays, so I need to dig those guys out and then I need to decide if the tie needs to be held in place, or cufflinks, etc. It’s nothing different than what the wife goes through, but she does much of her stuff up daily where I trot it out twice a year and forget all of what needs to be done.

    I kind of don’t get the point of Spanx. I know I could probably use a scuba suit of it myself but the thing is, I look at those things and the only thing that goes through my mind is that Anne Marie Johnson scene from I’m gonna get you sucka!

    You wear it to attract a guy you want to take if off for.

I used to think they were boring, but then I got old enough that now I go to more funerals than weddings, and I wish I were back on the wedding circuit again. I hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)

    Yep, Spanx are definitely a godsend. But nothing is better than that incredible feeling you get when you get home, kick off the heels, peel off the Spanx, and take off the bra. Add your fuzzy pink robe and some chips and dip, and it’s the perfect end to the evening.

    And then others have found it’s a good alternative to gastric bypass surgery – they simply cannot eat anything larger than a six month old’s portion size while wearing spanx.

    I tried them once, found I couldn’t breathe and took them off. I decided that I like my big belly just the way it is.

    Fanciness preparations? Yes, and no. For shape, men are viewed as being unable to do anything about it in a short term sense. Fitted shirts can be a wonderful thing, though, if you have a big neck and don’t want to look like a traveling circus tent.

    Truthfully, men are not expected to dress up much in our society, and our selection of clothing is limited. Now, I love me an embroidered waistcoat and pocket watch and wingtips, but even those simple touches put a man well outside the expected range of ‘do you or don’t you look good in a suit’.

    Well, this weekend’s project is to lay the granite pavers my wife scrounged for free, so I’m removing what must be close to 5% of the dirt in my yard (and about 5% of my bodyweight in sweat). My soundtrack for this project (in perpetuity, given how I attach music to things) is a wide variety of traditional folksongs featuring the bouzouki thanks to the Greek festival taking place half a block from my house. Since I lived in a Greek neighborhood for a while as a kid, I know some of these tunes and can hum along, much to the surprise of my wife.

    Just returned from a trip to the mall with my 16 year old. We spent at least an hour and a half in the unmentionables dept. The infinite varieties of bras available these days is mind-numbing. Push up, minimizing, back-smoothing, strap sliding, disappearing…..

    As my daughter said, your boobs can be whoever they want to be.

    Now. Which of y’all gentlemen knows what a breast petal is?

    I do! I worked in a department store while putting myself through college and had to cover that department now and then. I tried hard, but do not think I helped sales…

    My wife is very thankful for the expanding variety, as she always had trouble finding comfortable bras (mainly because I think she’s very discomfort intolerant). Daughter has a few years to go. She does not like dealing with girly stuff. We’ll see if that changes.

    @RedKitten- taking off my bra is the best part of my day.

    Isn’t it, though? Replacing underwire bra and high heels with bralessness and fuzzy slippers is comfort akin to slipping into a warm bath after having been outside in the cold and damp for several hours. You just feel so much more human afterwards.

    Men’s formal attire is designed to flatter our body shape without forcing it into something other than what it is. The whole point behind suit lapels is that they make your shoulders look bigger and your waist look smaller with nothing more than some shoulder pads. The only other tricks I can think of are shirt starch- yes, a well starched shirt really does look better than an unstarched one- and tie tacks.

    funny story, went to visit my big sis. She was working in the garden when we arrived. My 2 yr old son was standing in front of her and looked up…. she was not wearing a bra, only a t-shirt. He grabbed the leading edge of her shirt, lifted it, than dropped it and looked at my sis…

    “Boobs.” she said.

    He lifted her shirt again, looked again, and said, “BIG boobs!” (with much awe in his voice) My sis could not stop laughing.

    I am still laughing.

    I lurve men in fancy wear. Not tuxes necessarily but a nice suit with a nice shirt, cuff-links and a tie. yum yum yum.

    Spanx is definitely a godsend for certain kinds of dresses. Read those that are so glove like you either wear nothing or wear spanx ’cause there is nothing worse than lines–yes, thongs do leave lines ladies—on a nice tight dress.

    Just my two cents after criticizing crocks with socks earlier today.

    LB is big enough that it doesn’t all fit into the same category. There are some nice parts, some nasty parts, and some parts inbetween.

    hey if we have other locals what are we waiting for to have a get together? I mean we can just do it again when Yutsano is in town :D

    course we can! Lemme know when you’d be up for one and we’ll make it happen.

    I lead an exceedingly domesticated life here in the NoVA ‘burbs so I’m pretty much up for anything anytime, subject to kids/dogs/husband and work schedules.

    I grew up in Long Beach and my parents still live there, so I drop in at times. I have yet to discover anything remotely fashionable in or around it.

    I know exactly jack and squat about Long Beach. I live in West Hollywood, but Long Beach is where the zydeco festival is, and that’s why they rolled in to town.

    Left the wedding early to let them in the house. I put them to bed. Am either gonna take off my bra, or go back out for make party time.

    decisions, decisions.

    I live in West Hollywood

    This explains much.

    Am either gonna take off my bra, or go back out for make party time.

    This is an either/or proposition?

    PS: your face is already painted, so that detail is managed.
