I think it was Madam Ophelia who first mentioned it in this thread, the
'Peacock" effect? human men or males tend to be the more 'colorful' of
the species. And up till recently the more elaborate in their dress.

I mean really, other than a few rich Queers who make a living from it,
who looks at women's clothing? certainly not men.

I occasionally watch just enough of the new 'reality' t.v. show about
new & aspiring high fashion models to quickly turn it off, quickly, with
haste and abruptly as i find it embarrassing that females would go to
such lengths to be made to look so, IMO, ridiculous.

That one 'spokes model' that seems to be the host of the show looks like
she just escaped from a star trek movie, IMO. Just plain weird.

But i am no judge of female beauty, as you all may have guessed by now.
At least in the "Tantric" sense. Primaly, and instinctually, "i get no
kick from champagne....mere alcohol does not thrill me at all...."
