That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 10, 2012

He’s so confused!

Knickers in a twist?

How did men ever allow themselves to dress is such a silly ? way?

fashion will repeat itself. bell bottoms came back in the 90s. plaid shirts will come back. but, the no glove, no love is now law when shooting porn in la.

Where I live, people seem to be stuck in 1972. Platforms, wide leg jeans, furry boots, short crocheted vests.

@ Ellen Gwynne, you want to see silly men’s clothes, go to You Tube and pull up the video of “Little Willy Won’t Go Home.” Those were “stars” and yes, they dressed like that voluntarily.

Or indeed, any pop band of the 80s.

I think he is showing off his invisible…well…you know.

Hey, fashion is fashion. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) said “Greek, Sir, . . . is like lace; every man gets as much of it as he can.” And he was brilliant, but definitely blunt.

I suppose if a sock isn’t handy . . .a glove will do . .

I think he’s got his briefs in his hat. Note the elastic waistband?

I think this strip is genius.

One of the advantages of the swallowtail coat was that those wide “tails” had deep, useful pockets in them. You could carry your entire life around with you.
