At Last I Have My Label

It turns out that I am a retrosexual.

I am now officially out of the closet. Just so you know.

Retrosexuals of the world, stand up and be counted!

I'm so glad you came out of that closet and found yourself, oh I am thrilled for you, just thrilled!

Finally, a banner I can wave and be proud of! Indeed, retrosexuals rejoice and feel free to express who you are to the world. We will live in fear no longer!

This means you do it in the opposite direction?

Yes... yes it does.

In Alabama, they already have a term for "retrosexual" it's called "NASCAR Fan."

Does my choice of deodorant really need to mean anything? Walking into the bathroom is a daily identity crisis as it is.

"Metrosexual": one who is aroused by cities? "Retrosexual": one who is aroused by the past?

Secretly, I've always thought that my husband could stand to be just a little bit more metro. Sometimes I buy him fancy shaving cream or scent with a designer name, and leave it suggestively on his side of the sink.

Just like a woman, always trying to change a man and using underhanded tactics to do so. Why can't they just yell at us and let us know what they want?

Ok sorry I am having a little Valentine's Day hangover here.

And slightly stink!

Deal with it!!!

I'll take the underhanded feminine wiles over being yelled at! Any time. I love that word "suggestive" -- it is so _suggestive_!



Woohoo!!! Glad I've got a name for myself with "sexual" in it.....well, I guess I am...

Guilty as charged: totally retro! Several years ago my wife and mother got into a huge argument over the color of ... ummm drapes or carpet, maybe a couch or something like that. One called it turquoise and the other insisted it was aqua-marine (I forget who said which). I never did care but still love to throw hand grenades at them by asking stupid questions about mauve or heliotrope ...

Bonus! since I didn't even know how to spell turquoise I had to look it up and learned the difference for myself!!

turquoise (tûr2kwoiz1, -koiz1) n.
Color. A light to brilliant bluish green. —tur2quoise1 adj.
aqua (ak2wú, ä2kwú) n.
Color. A light bluish green to light greenish blue. —aq2ua adj.

Glad that's finally cleared up, whew....
