change clothes.
Girls have evolved so much in terms of dress sense and style. A lot of girls have used less material and boys have started looking more often. There has been a resurgence of discussion for our own-coined term: the slutty top. These pieces of flirtatious garb has been called in jest since probably back in high school they would not be acceptable for public consumption. Even at that time, my outfit composed of just a tight vest and jeans and nothing else was considered improper for a night out to party. But now. Look at the girls with their ever-shortening skirts and ever-lowering tops and that would have been tame by comparison.

Even with a lot of criticism regarding women’s sense of what is proper and decent has been as blurred as the line crossed by friends-with-benefits, both genders agree that manila women still look good. Probably because they keep updated with new looks and designs…you will rarely see someone here wearing what has been considered passé unless of course it’s Halloween or a costume party. Surprisingly we have all still stored all our clothes from the eighties and probably early nineties to save for such occasions.

But men. Now that’s another story. I swear someone should put up a memorandum instigating that all pleated pants be banned for the rest of history. I haven’t seen much of the white socks and leather shoes so at least that’s a relief but the old oversized polo Ralph shirts must go. You know what I’m talking about – the ones that reach until the knees. Oh heaven help us. Big as they may be, hiphop style it ain’t. So scrap those.

There has been a uprising of the well-dressed man in the recent years. Short of using the much debauched M-word, it was an indication of the need for men who cared about how they looked. Thank you. But even this has been bastardized by guys who wear too tight shirts and even tighter pants. My dear little boys. If you cannot stretch to wrap your arms around us then it must be wrong. And if you have this gut breaking free of your waistline – the tight shirt is even worse. I can tell you that I have seen several of these to make me gag. Your clothes are so much more simpler to put together than ours and yet it is still misunderstood.

With this note I am glad that my guy friends have not so much as made these mistakes. Maybe because their uniform consists of clean t-shirts and well-fitting pants or jeans that only leave enough for our imagination to want to rip them off you. Haha! I have even seen those who wear the simplest of house clothes and still look salivatingly gorgeous. Why? Because they are neat. And free of frills. So being vain enough to pick the simplest and leanest of clothes is not just a gay trait but more a decision to look better. Most of you expect us to dress properly so wouldn’t it be right for you to do the same?

Although I do recall seeing someone wearing just black brief shorts (is that what you call them? Not boxers or briefs but in between) and just wanting to melt and faint at the same time. Yumyum. So these hot guys can wear just about anything (or nothing) and still look good. I swear his image will forever be ingrained in my brain for as long as I need to smile deviously.

I guess it’s just a matter of dressing for your body type. For the rest of us imperfect bods, we still have hope to project this luscious description with the right clothes kept on. That is, until they are taken off.
