In his new book of essays, The Reluctant Metrosexual:
Dispatches from an Almost Hip Life (Villard), Peter
Hyman writes about his experiences as "a straight
man whose tastes are just gay enough." Here, he
offers his tips on items that may be pH balanced for
a woman, but just as useful for those with a Y chromosome:
Super Solano Hair Dryer
"It was left
over from an ex-girlfriend, but I don't use it for drying
my hair. I don't have a toaster, so for me it's good for
warming up bagels."
Venus Razor
"The
first time I used one was in an ex-girlfriend's shower,
but it's ergonomically superior for pre-triathlon grooming.
I've had to use the Venus razor to shave my face after
spending a night at someone's apartment. It wasn't the
greatest shave, but it's better than the crappy 13 cent
Bics from the deli."
White Maltese Puppy
"It's a much more
efficient way to meet women than online dating."
Pink iPod Mini
"It
was a gift from my parents. I think they just made a
mistake with the color. But pink is this year's brown,
which was last year's black."
Tasti D-lite
"It's
the only air-pumped ice-cream derivative that I can
enjoy as a lactose intolerant."
