Mankover Madness Continues

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:55:43 -0600

As many of you may be aware, we decided to grab onto the men's makeover madness and create our own word for it. "Mankover." 40 years ago women liked some hair on their man, but times have changed, and if you ask around, the majority of women under 35 prefer that he at least manage things a bit.

Even if you're a man over 40, who has no intention to manage his body hair, there is never an excuse for not taking care of the BBNNE. That's brows, burns, neck, nose and ear hair. No one wants to view collections of atmospheric particles embedded in the hirsute crevasses of an aging man. Except, perhaps, a cleaner monkey with time on his hands.

Here are a few fun videos to watch. And remember: a clipper and a number one or two guard keeps everything neat and tidy without having to go boy bald. There's nothing like a freshly mowed lawn in the summer, and the marketing team from Gillette says: "When there's no under brush the tree looks taller."

Speaking of the Power of Pretty

Readers Write: What Blouses For a Short Waist, Pear Shaped, Petite?

Christopher,

I love your book and I had a question about clothing for my body type. I am a A3 , petite and 5’3’’. I am short waisted too. What type of tops do you suggest?
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Phylis

Hi Phylis,

Of course there are exceptions based on things like neck length, shoulders etc. but a few good choices for a woman with fuller hips to bust proportion and who has a shorter torso to leg length are:

Off the shoulder, boat neck, blouson, yoked, wide V’s, wide scoop, shawl collar, wide spread collars, puffed sleeves (slightly puffed not too much for petites), ruffled necklines, gathered necklines (increases bustline), crotch length and longer, do not belt or tuck.

Avoid halter, dolman, raglan, peasant sleeves or anything that draws the eye down to the hip and narrows the upper body. Also avoid to slim fitting in the waist as the smaller you make your waist the bigger you make your butt.

Remember to avoid jacket pockets or details in the torso area (never accentuate your shortest proportions). If you do tuck, blouse the top (blouson appearance) so it lengthens the waist. Tunics and longer sweaters (crotch length and longer).

Hope that helps!
