Gay Guy,Do not delay your manscaping any longer! Norelco has launched the "Deforest Yourself, Reforest the World" campaign. For every bodygroomer they sell, they'll plant another tree with the help of the Arbor Day Foundation. Ad copy: "Now is your chance to man up, keep your 'hedges' trimmed, and help our forests grow... the only acceptable place for deforestation is on the human body."
Double bonus! Researchers have noted that human hair effectivley bonds to oil. Tons of hair clippings are ready to be deployed in an effort to clean up the the crude which will wash up on the Gulf Coast. So save those trimmings from your undercarriage, GG. Put them in a zip lock and mail them to one of your many friends in Alabama or Mississippi... just to let them know that you care and are willing to help.
NPR newslink here.
Triple bonus! The leader in oil-grabbing "hair boom" technology is based in San Francisco. They typically stuff human and animal hair into nylon stockings. The problem is not that they are running out of hair, but out of stockings. Who wears those anymore? Transvestites, that's who. And more than a few of them just happen to be in the SanFran area, go figure, and are willing to donate for the cause. You go, girls!
Oh, and yes, that's a manscaped-what-if-self-portrait created on the Norelco site: shaveeverywhere.com. Classy.
I can hear you now, GG. "Which one? Left or right?" Ha. Ha.

The only thing that I have to say to this is wow.
*awkward silence, raises fist halfheartedly*
Yay for non-deforestation(?)
Who knew that all the ungroomed men that I saw at the beach last summer were actually protecting the delicate shoreline with their shoulder and back hair? Heroes all.
So now we know, in much clearer detail than perhaps we needed, what SG really looks like.
I know women have heard it for decades and have little sympathy, but I'm already tired of this manscaping crap. I'll shave, cut, or braid whatever I choose or not choose to. Bite me, Norelco.
Hey GG - I had no idea that SG was so interested in male grooming.
Perhaps you could encourage him to visit the Boatslip in Provincetown during Bear Week to carry this message to all those non-groomers .
SG, that Gorilla looks less than amused. Thanks for the link and promoting the campaign! I know many coworkers who could use a little nudge in the right direction!
I man groomed this morning!
That's a great cause! Hair can save the world!
You do realize that I find out about everything that is going on in the world from your blog, right?
(Unrelated, I'm sure -- no one seems to want to sit next to me at dinner parties...)
Upstate: Expound on this braiding...
BosGuy: Thank you so much for the invitation. Not sure I'm the right guy for that job, though. Bear Week? Do you guys self-segregate that much? Hairy men are only welcome 7 days each summer? Give them a break.
Dorn: Where are you working that your coworkers manscaping status is common knowledge?
BosGuy raises an interesting point about Bears, which I'm familiar with, but less so about the attraction. GG and others - care to explain for the straight guys? Does it tend to be black-and-white - you always like hairy guys or clean guys and ne'er the twain meet? Or it just depends?
BosGuy,
I LOVE Bear Week in P-town. No, really. I always come the day it's ending. Only after a week of stocky hairy bears wandering Boutique Street can GG (in his present state) look sleek and slender as a kitten.
Next time I am at the beach, I'll be sure to go down water's edge with a seive and skim off the hair to due my part for the environment.
I was actually referring to above the belt...but now that I think about it, there are some trees growing out the back of some of my guys. That begin in the darkest of places. Thanks for making me visualize that.
