The creeping menace of metrosexuality

Overheard at the El station; young woman speaking:
"He needs to lose that Grizzly Adams thing he got going and GQ up."

Woo hoo, more for me!

Meanwhile, my metrosexual boss started shaving his head. And it is hot.

Can sexual harrassment claims go the other way? I have no position of power over him, so it doesn't count, right? Otherwise I'm really, really going to start having to bite my tongue.

That "hostile environment" provision is pretty broad. (Read: NO NOOGGIES!)

Do you think the comment was directed at you???

Not a chance: She was cell-phone oblivious--and I was in stealth-bear mode anyhow.

When do you think the waxen-man fad will pass? I find it gross, but they probably feel the same way about me, so I'll shut up now.

It might just melt away, but it's Tussaud to tell.

You think you're some kind of cire?

Non, la cire est perdue. (Now you're going to accuse me of being brassy.)

Can we combine these trends? Beartrosexuals? GQubs?

I'm just sayin' there's nothin' wrong with Grizzly Adams in an Armani suit.

Just as the ladies at work were trying to convince me to shave all of my hair off.

Not bloody likely, lady. -_-
