| Ladies! Go to a war museum and check-out those uniforms! ă° Gold frills, lace, chains, high collars picked-out in precious metals, silk scarves, silver and mother of pearl buttons, bright colours! ă° Poufy feathers on even poufier hats, spiffy high black leather boots with higher heels, slinky riding crops! ă° Bejewelled weapons, tight pants, ornate jackets. More recently, dashing khaki, and sexy camouflage, expertly tailored to reveal manly bulges. ă° All littered with pendants, ribbons, tiny embroidered or enamelled flags and stars, and of course, lots of shiny medals. ă° The macho military male has been the Mr. Dress-Up of history. Yet men whine about women and their obsession with fashion. |
