Metro-Mania
In the era of the down low brother there is a metrosexual revolution taking place that is quite disturbing to me. Now I myself once thought I was a metro but living in Atlanta for the past 2 years I have come to the conclusion that I am not. While on my club tour the last 2 months I noticed that there are dude that go way over the top when it comes to fashion. My mind brings me to a blog Kristie Lynn wrote which basically says we're just getting old but Funk That! It's a damn shame when men get their toes done so they can rock clear air force ones or coochie sandals. To men who no longer go to the barbershop but rather the salon to men w/ doobies and perms, or who wear bright colors w/ matching everything am I behind the times?
I'm from an era in time where you wore your timberland boots unlaced, from where the hot thing to wear was a Levi jean set and a fitted baseball cap. Growing up style was simple now I was always willing to do my own thing when it came to style and I look back and say what the hell was a wearing. Example a pair of black plastic pants w/ lime green stitching, Times and a black shirt and lime green hat. I ran across this picture and gasp a silent WTF!! The very next picture was me in a Bright Orange and blue shirt w/ Fish on it that i purchased from Old Navy. Mama Why did you ever allow me to purchase such a thing? What really took me over the top is the amount of rappers who are well just plan weird and the citizens who strive to not only be like them but out do them. Last week when I was at the club i saw a guy in a pink and pistachio green leotard... Okay well maybe it wasn't a leotard but still it was just too much. Is it just me or are the men of today just trying to do too much!
