The Fellas and Fashion

Yesterday my 5 year old son asked me why do men wear ear rings. I was like, wow! where did that come from. So, I was about to answer him when all of a sudden I froze. I couldn’t. 

I was never into jewelry or any personal exterior accessories. Maybe except an iPod. I never saw the point. Maybe it’s because I really don’t have an ego? I’m not sure of other guys reasons. It doesn’t seem too masculine although so called “tough guys” or “cool kids” do it.  Most of my homies have ear rings and some sag, some more than others. I KNOW they aren’t gay so I’ll have to do a bit of research. 

This question of his got me to thinking about other like situations. Such as, wearing those “Paris Hilton” Hollywood style glasses. Especially at night AND Indoors! This year at the VMA’s when Jamie Foxx was presenting, you could see him obviously wanting to take them off, but he couldn’t. Does he have a lazy eye or something?

Next on my list is the sagging phenomenon. Which by the way is NIGGAS spelled backwards. Is that why? What’s up with this? Some say fashion, some say it’s a prison thing. I won’t go into detail as I don’t know for a fact if thats the case. What I DO know is, WHY would you want to show your ass to other dudes? I see pants as low as the bottom of the cheeks. Guys struggling to keep their pants up as they walk or run. I’ve even seen guys sagging on the basketball court! I don’t think females like it as much as they THINK they do and be aware of the females that do, lol. I’ve seen guys sagging mildly, like the white boys with the faux hawk and not the full thing. I’m OK with that.  Just don’t show me your backside please.

So, with all of this going on. How do I explain it to my son. I’ve seen it all my life and never questioned it. Oh well. I guess I need to do some old fashioned investigating. He needs answers. I guess I do too.
