Museum Ogles Men In Skirts

Yeah that headline caught my attention, so I had to read on. So allow me to share with you this article..

Show us a little leg! Skirts and kilts worn by Kurt Cobain, Boy George, Sean Connery, Mel Gibson, David Bowie along with the dress/coat worn by Keanu Reeves in the Matrix films are part of a new exhibit looking at men sporting women's fashions. Bravehearts: Men in Skirts opens at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Nov. 4.

The three-month show, featuring designers such as Giorgio Armani and Vivienne Westwood, examines counterculture movements that push the men-in-skirts idea from '60s hippies to rockers such as No Doubt's Adrian Young (news).

Will skirts work their way into boardrooms on male CEOs? The acceptance of skirts on men could be "a threat or a promise," says Andrew Bolton, associate curator of the museum's Costume Institute.

What no mention of Eddie Izzard? That's incredibly wrong! Especially since he looks a hundred times better in a skirt than half of those guys mentioned. I have a few pics of Eddie from the show I saw in Pittsburgh, I'm going to have to attempt to scan them in. (Before a few friends of mine rebel)

Why are they going on about kilts too? Even Prince Charles wears his plaid. That's nothing to get all excited about...Now if he were wearing a spangled mini...that would be worth a mention. (and probably a rusty melon baller to poke my eyes out too)
