Masculine etc.
Zorba write,
I have yet to see a dress that looks good on the male form. Not saying it doesn't exist - only that I haven't seen it. Dresses are cut for the female form, a male version would have to be made differently.
Dear Zorba,
I beg to differ!!!!! I think that a Saudi gentleman in his thobe is very masculine. I think that the Saidi farmer in his jelebah is very masculine. Dresses can look damn fine on a man as well as a woman.
When I was young the most fascinating and sexy and masculine people in the world for me were the Watutsi of Africa. Very tall, very black, very lithe men wearing white monkey hair headdresses and skirts that were tight to their bodies. The way they moved was nothing short of the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, whether they were daciing or just walking around. (Nice that I had parents who were into watching travelogues!!). Men in skirts or dress is the norm in many parts of the world, but I think some people just forget that.
Regards,
A'isha
