I’m pretty sure my wife would leave me if I started wearing colorful nail polish. ---

I don’t have a problem with it. I’d find it intriguing, in a subculture or a self-confident sort of way, but I like them strange. ---

Am I the only one who, after reading the Cracked article, immediately started designing the GI Joe male hooker corps action figures? Seriously, wear whatever you want. Own whatever you wear. But I reserve the right to laugh at your “cocaine” nails. (I argued with my oh-crap-now-i-have-to-say-husband over whether “Cocaine” would be the Hispanic hooker Joe or an albino.) ---

I like nail polish on a guy. Of course he has to look the part. It would look ridiculous on someone like my dad, but I’ve dated dudes with nail polish. Eyeliner, too. Hot. ---

I do appreciate that the polish is in pen form rather than brush. That seems much easier to control. Why isn’t women’s nail polish sold this way? ---

It’s because of patrairchy. The nail polish is finally under our control.
