Salon's Sexy Summer - Salon again hits home with an article on metrosexuality, the new phrase they've coined to describe "gay sensibilities" rubbing off on straight men - a trend noted last year in the Village Voice.
In the story, they note that "the typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis -- because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are." He probably has a designer wardrobe to fit his ripped, hairless body and compliment his tastefully highlighted hair...but he's straight! The most important distinction made about the metrosexual is that, above all others, he loves himself, with witty and insightful examples from films like Fight Club and especially Spider-Man. Good to see that narcissism is finally coming out of the closet.
