This is GQ's New Masculinity issue. You've probably seen it and scratched your head wondering how some simperer dressed up in a sleeping bag dress counts as masculine. Good question.
Here at the Compound we think what used to be called Western Civilization's getting close to peak degeneracy, and reached out to readers to see if they agreed. Here's a sample.
"It's horrid. Ridiculous. And obscene. #SATAN running amok." Strong words from MW, who's a stylist in Dallas. GBW, writing from Georgia had this to say, "So hot and beautiful and awesome. Kill it with fire."
GQ stands for "Gentlemen's Quarterly." Some kind of joke? Feel free to disagree.

Beyond me. I feel stylish when I remember the zipper on my Wranglers.
ReplyDelete"GQ stands for "Gentlemen's Quarterly.""
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's not the "GQ" that comes to mind for me.
As the Red man would say, "These people have no center". They are easily led astray to wander the wilderness, searching in vain, always looking out, never inward.
If you need GQ for Identity, Culture and Style, you do not possess an Identity, Culture or Style.
ReplyDelete"...do you call this thing a coat?"

As an avid outdoorsman wannabe, I like it. It's practical while camping high above the tree line where the temps drop below freezing even in August, that garment looks warm and cozy. Keeps the mosquitos and no-see-ums from eating you alive as well. Yes, very practical.
ReplyDeleteNot, however, very practical should you want to escape from a grizzly bear attack. That thing would slow you down considerably. Not that you could run from a bear successfully even if your name was Usain Bolt, but it does look cumbersome.
Definitely garb for he-men, all in all. Very macho, once you put it on you become a babe magnet, chicks dig sleeping bags.
Just when I think things have bottomed out this comes along. Praise be that I have no fashion sense!
ReplyDeleteWhat Anon said. Man, the homos do seem completely out of control . Who got them wet and fed them after midnight ? Yea, I know - Barry Soetoro, AKA barack obama.
ReplyDeleteMy step son tells me the latest fashion trend for guys is Capri pants. Same ones the chicks wear. Yes, really.
GQ has been out there for years now, it's a waste land of homos. Real men don't go there and have no need to.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, they left the L and B out of the magazines acronym. 🌈🙌🏻🌈
ReplyDeleteAnd the T, how could I forget the T?
DeleteThe weather forecasters are calling for a really cold winter, and electric bills will be through the roof, and some.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm... Nope...
ReplyDeleteWSF, #MeToo!
ReplyDelete"Have no center," RHT, the beast slouches towards Nazareth.
ReplyDeleteAnon #1: Yes.
ReplyDeleteAnon #2: The Duke of Wellington on the 1st Reform Parliament, "Never seen such shocking bad hats." Or something like that. There were giants in those days.
ReplyDeleteFredd, I haven't looked at it that way and now I have. Is this a proposal for LL?
ReplyDeleteJime, it's right bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the Capris, Kid.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good look.
Well said, Brig. How is it even in publication?
ReplyDeleteDammit, Swankenstein! Attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteAh, Anon #3, then who's laughing, eh?
ReplyDeleteNFO, unlike Fredd I second your motion.
