Yes, and they consider it a lame excuse. ---

Funny commentary about this and another event in the “news”: [http://www.the-broad-side.com/deflated-balls-and-peek-a-boo-penises-what-a-week](http://www.the-broad-side.com/deflated-balls-and-peek-a-boo-penises-what-a-week) Includes a link to another “model”, as well. (When did male models star looking like junkies?) ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > It’s kinda late for this. Eldridge Cleaver did it over 40 years ago. Richard II’ s court did it over 600 years ago; leggings were in two pieces, so only came to the tops of the thighs, and it became fashionable for noblemen to wear super short tunics to show off the tackbox. Sumptuary laws were passed to stop peasants and farmers from imitating the fashions lest they cut off the meat & two veg prematurely whilst swinging scythes out in the fields. ---

> [@Helena330](#): > > (When did male models star looking like junkies?) When did fashion designers start being shit? A _good_ fashion designer is capable of designing fashion that looks good when worn, but these idiots are limited to making fashion for coat-hangers, and so need the most coat-hanger-ish models to wear them. ---

I can’t speak for women but being a naturally homophobic, hetero male all I can say is that, yes, there is a huge double standard, but for a very good reason. In terms of nude bodies on parade, a guy’s schlong cannot be made visually appealing. It cannot be made not visually unappealing! 😃 ---

I guess the cool thing for women these days is skin-tight things that look, and “feel like I’m not wearing anything!” Hey, men can do that and not buy anything. It’s just efficient. ---

Oh, please… some designer is completely out of ideas. > [@Hail\_Ants](#): > > I can’t speak for women but being a naturally homophobic, hetero male all I can say is that, yes, there is a huge double standard, but for a very good reason. In terms of nude bodies on parade, a guy’s schlong cannot be made visually appealing.

The ancient Greeks has good looking wangs, or more like wangs on good looking whole dudes. Because they were into the whole classical-proportions thing, mind you, not for the sake of tEh buttsecks, of course not… Problem nowadays is the guys with the good looking schvontzers on buff bodies are doing porn, not fashion modeling. And they’d probably laugh at this. Besides, this is models. When we regular guys want to show it off, we just take pics of it with our phones and send it though an app to those we wish to impress, Carlos Danger-style. ---

Going out on a limb and guessing the designer is… Not straight. Not a woman of any stripe. ---

True - the average woman would be giggling so hard at the “scrunchy sack and mini-gherkin” to finish the design. ---

> [@Trinopus](#): > > I thought he came up with a codpiece, a sort of external “cock sock” that stuck out from the front of the trousers, but never actually showed man-flesh. Yup. Here’s the design from Eldridge de Paris - NSFW but less NSFW than the above NSFW design. Every bit as NSFL, though.

I move we start calling it “scrunchy sack” instead of “scrotum”. ---

I always liked “poor man’s lava lamp,” but given that these would be moving targets, maybe “scrunchy sack” is better.
