Not All Guys Are Slimy and Gross

A few weeks ago, I was with the journalism class working on my blog in the library. A couple of guys had study halls during that period also and were next to me on the computers. A little fail advertising for my blog followed. The guys had some trouble spelling my blog (melody? melodie? huhhh?) but they finally got onto the page.

The response that followed was a bit pathetic.

First, their eyes lit up because they had finally figured out how to get to my page. Then, they took in the top header and noticed...clothing. Swiveling around to check if I was looking, they cautiously closed the window and nonchalantly resumed whatever they were doing before.

It's okay--I'm really not that offended. To most guys, fashion is super boring and something girls spend wayy too much time on. I can't stop yawning when guys talk about football. So I know what it is like to be in your shoes.

And, of course, I have to admit, girls are a bit prejudiced too. To us, the spectrum of male fashion is limited to dirty tees and holey jeans.

There has to be a happy medium--somewhere.

I know that a lot of guys who care about their looks are often shot down by their fellow men. But I feel like as long as you don't go totally overboard, and start staring into the mirror and screaming "I'm fat!" in dismay, you'll be perfectly fine.

So what I'm presenting is a perfect balance. It's not meticulous and totally girly. These styles are actually easy to pull off. I know you guys like throwing on a pair of jeans and zoop out the door. But just put a teeny more effort into it and you'll still look manly--just good now! The next few posts will be some pictures and new trends in menswear, so keep your eyes open!
