International Male

La Magnifica sent me this article:

But on this, the eve of destruction of the International Male, I resolved that I would repress those feelings for a full week, wear International Male -- from the white crochet driving hat down to the tan, strappy gladiator sandals--24 hours a day, and unleash the inner swinger that's been hip-thrusting within. It would not be easy.

From The Magazine : Radar Online : For almost 30 years a curious clothing catalog has sold ruffled pirate shirts, pink sleeveless suits, and sequined black capes to a seemingly invisible public.

Sounds like an interesting experiment, doesn't it? Very funny article! Here are some of the outfits he wore about town:

I remember getting International Male catalogs when I was in college. Back then, every gay guy I knew had at least one copy of the catalog. Everything about it was SO gay. The only straight people who actually bought the cloths were Europeans (and Adam Ant). Go figure.

I think I sent in a dollar to get my first copy? And when it arrived, when I was in college, I went straight to the nearest rest room.
