Stylish with Substance

First, the Scaredy-Cat-Man. You know that kind of man who's tough, yet actually is afraid of women. Or perhaps in the case of G. Gordon Liddy, just so conservative and in "it" for his own party, he'll say anything to pursuade people. Perhaps - or maybe he believes his recent comment,

"Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when [Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's] menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then."

Le Sigh.

On to something 100% more refreshing. The true man's reply to such a bad man as was just quoted... my wonderful boyfriend's reply, to be exact,

"I swear there are people who have not outgrown the puritan age of thought."

It's nice to read a good guy's thoughts about this upsetting, not just controversial, topic. Most reactions we'd normally hear are from women, at least outside of professional broadcasting. Or maybe not, are the men in your world and circle speaking up about this too?

There are all kinds in this world. I do think men get moods just like some of them think we automatically get monthly. Ignorant, the bad ones are.

Talking to FHM about an experience at this past January's fashion show by vegan designer, Stella McCartney, Pink was fired up. The singer said she was PO'd at fellow musician, Kanye West.

"I was at STELLA McCARTNEY's Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PAUL McCARTNEY and Kanye West.

"The entire time Kanye is going, 'They need more fur in this show'. He just wouldn't shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he's saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney!

I was just so grossed out by him. I'm like, 'You're an idiot!'

"There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he's up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur."

So Kanye was oblivious not only to the fact that Stella is an avowed vegan designer, who never uses/designs fur or even leather, but that he was speaking to activist Pink, Paul McCartney (who must have bonded over love for animals when he was with his ex-wife) and even the vice president of PETA. I'm not pro PETA due to their extreme and publicity-stunt antics, but celebrities should know not to cross the organization or prepare for some backlash.

But is a soft human skin bag, coat, or other accessory too disgusting for Pink's verbal attack to resonate? Oh, my, I can just see the slant PETA will take in an anti-Kanye campaign. Would such a thing be good or bad?
