Real Men Wear Kilts

[Nick]

The vestments for last Sunday were pink, and the preist was commenting on them at the end of mass. He said one of the kids from the childrens choir at the Saturday mass told him he has a pink shirt that says "Real Men Wear Pink (please ask Mom to not mix the whites with the colors)"

It really is to bad that cilts and the colour pink is considered femine. We shouldn't have stereotypes for everything, who cares! We're people and colours shouldn't matter, no matter who wears it, even if it is pink.

I think this is a living remnant of the '40s and '50s (and I suspect well before that) when clothing for men was pretty subdued. A lot of black, brown, grey, white, and various shades of same. My father had a couple of colored shirts for weekends. Underwear was strictly white. Blue jeans were not allowed in our house. A bit of color in socks and ties. The hallmark for men as I remember it was mostly dull color and course fabrics. (ooohh ooohh ooohh - Thanks to Tim Allen) It was almost as though it wasn't masculine to be concerned about such things. Right from birth - (boy babies in blue , girl babies in pink) - we were conditioned to this at home and school as though it was the law. Silly as it sounds, I still, to this day, cannot bring myself to wear something pink. I doubt that I'm alone.

Although, pink on baby girls and blue on baby boys sure does help me in avoiding a faux pas, when they're at that age that you can't tell one from another with the diaper on.

Even then, several people have referred to my girls as beautiful baby boys, even when they're dressed in frilly pink dresses.

And, for the record, I do have a pink tie and wouldn't mind having a pale pink shirt. Nothing too dark, though. I try to avoid clothing that looks like I dyed it in Pepto Bismol.

I have a very light pink dress shirt. Works well with the blue pinstripe suit and a red tie.

I wouldn't worry overmuch- I have a girl with short hair (she insists) and a boy with long hair (18 mo and awaiting his first haircut) and people mix them up all the time. She puts her hand on her hip, and asks the person, "Don't you think we should have the hair we like?" If people get upset because you get the gender of their baby wrong, they've got screwed-up priorities- they're also probably the ones who say their toddlers have 'boyfriends' and other semi-creepy stuff.

I love the pinks-shirted TV host. Almost all of the pink-wearing men I've known have been natty dressers, the kind of guy who never looked disheveled even after shoveling manure- like a Cary Grant type. It was usally a dress shirt, and I really like that look, especially with a deep rose tie or a nice paisley.

Fear no color.
Pink, black, grey, and white tartan .... back to the tartan creator thingy.


CT - real people are comfortable no matter what they wear.

I once saw a lady wearing a shirt that said "real men wear me out" I don't think it was pink though.
