Will he or won’t he?
October 23rd, 2008 by MariaI have challenged Baltazar to dress as a woman for a day. He doesn’t want to, he’d rather choke me instead I’m sure but if he has to, I think it will teach him a lesson. In a bigger sense I wish we could all change places with a group we make assumptions about so we can learn the real truth of what it’s like to be them.
Now, back to Baltazar. We can teach him(at least from a fashion and grooming standpoint) what it’s like to be a woman. I urge you to go to movin997.com and cast your vote “yes” for him to dress like a woman for a day! I’ve challenged him on the air but ladies, the real decision is up to you. Please vote. Men always crab at us about how much we spend on clothes, accessories, beauty treaments. Granted, a lot of stuff we get is “want” but more than they know is “need”.
I’m lucky to work in an industry where I can wear pretty much anything to work as long as it’s clean and covers my naughty bits. But I’ve had jobs where I was required to wear pantyhose and dresses or skirts and I wasn’t living in the balmy Bay Area at the time. Try an outfit like that in Buffalo, New York in the winter when you’re catching the bus! (I don’t care how long your coat is or how thick your tights are, the wind will have its way with you!) .
Just think, men open their drawers and choose boxers, briefs or boxer-briefs, a t-shirt that’s scoop or v-neck with or without sleeves. Then depending on their work it’s jeans or khaki’s and a tee or polo. If they are in “business” its a dark suit, shirt and tie. The appropriate footwear be it work boots, loafers or dress shoes. That’s it. They basically have a uniform. When we go to the closet: dress, skirt or pants? Suit or separates? The underwear choices alone would stop them cold. The accessories we have to wade through and they wonder why it takes so long for us to get ready. I’m not going to go into all the waxing, shaving, plucking, sucking, steaming, polishing, spritzing, curling, frying and dyeing we have to do. If the situation was reversed we would be dating a bunch of badly dressed Bigfoots!
In conclusion, ladies I need you to go to the web and vote, not just so I win but so we all win. We will make an example of Baltazar so he can tell other men what it’s really like and maybe just maybe they will appeciate what we go through. So the next time we buy a new purse or shoes or article of clothing instead of saying “How much?” they’ll say “How nice!”.
