Murse Matchup: FABIO!

Guest blogger "The Always-Hungry Husband" here! Today, as our Head Mursenary prepares for a weekend satchel safari, it is my privilege to peruse the Submit-A-Man archives and present to you a Fantasy Four that breaks with tradition not only in its authorial composition, but also in its conspicuous lack of last names.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen (and probably a lady again): Fabio.

Thank you Akila for suggesting Fabio to our Submit-A-Man. While he’s never been spotted with a man purse to our knowledge, it’s clear that a man of such prodigious accomplishments must have an appropriate accessory both for the carrying of things, and, um, the looking of good. A metaphor, for your consideration: just as ol’ ‘sinistra e destra’ form the strong foundation of a triumphal Viking conquest-pose, so must Fabio’s manbag maintain the perfect balance of rugged masculinity and feminine sensibility that has made Fabio the undisputed king of romance.

Well, I guess, technically the title of "King of Romance" is disputed by one Englebert Humperdinck, but I don’t think this will become a dispute of or anything. Anyway – on to the show!

Fantasy Four: David Beckham (Follow Up)

1 comment?  We've got an international fashion and sports icon, here!  Mark Simpson, the man who coined the phrase metrosexual , described Beckham as:

...über-metrosexual, not just because he rams metrosexuality down the throats of those men churlish enough to remain retrosexual and refuse to pluck their eyebrows, but also because he is a sportsman, a man of substance--a "real" man--who wishes to disappear into surfaceness in order to become ubiquitous--to become media. Becks is The One, and better looking than Keanu--but, be warned, he's working for the Matrix.

And the only one who commented on his post was my sometimes-metrosexual-but-mostly-geek-chic husband.

*sigh*.  It's okay, though.  You can make it up to me by reading and commenting on the far more titillating follow-up post here. (Just scroll to the bottom of the page before Aaron's lonely comment.)
