Manscaping and Ruminations

Well Karen, it’s all well and good to have a “manly man,” but, as every good Randian knows, he better not be too manly, i.e., have a beard. Facial hair means the guy has something to hide, you see (as you have mentioned in your blog). But if “not too perfect” guys are “in,” that’s great news for moi! Turns out I’m even color blind.

On a tangent–re khakis–I hear these Bill’s Khaki’s are supposed to be great. Daddy gots to try himself a pair. I hope Jeff Tucker will approve–khakis do seem to be on his approved list, although I can’t imagine wearing them with anything but a short-sleeved shirt, which apparently is a no-no. Oh, what the heck, just makes me less perfect, and apparently, less is more, right?

One more tangent, re your mention of manscaping. How about these women with tongue-studs, tatoos, and assorted body piercings. Now what one does with her own body is her own business, but it doesn’t mean I can’t observe to my friends that such habits are correlated with sluttiness. My wife says I’m a fuddy-duddy because I even think that women wearing anklets or toe rings is correlated with, shall we say, loose sexual morals. My thinking is that a woman willing to publicly flout conventional dress standards is broadcasting the fact that she probably is more willing than average to “be wild” or to “try anything once,” etc. But what do I know. I’m not perfect.

One more thing, while I’m on a roll. Why is Uma Thurman regarded as such a beauty? Look at her. I mean she was supposed to be the hot one, and Jeanine Garafolo the ugly one, in the movie Truth about Cats and Dogs, but really, Garafolo is prettier than Thurman. How did Uma get that reputation for being hot? I think it all goes back to her baring her admittedly ample and young bosom in the scene in bed with John Malkovich in Dangerous Liaisons. Don’t know how I remember that. Ahem.
