| Publisher Description: A biography of the metrosexual. By his dad.Back in the flaky-skinned early Nineties Mark Simpson predicted the future of men was metrosexual. A couple of decades on even he's shocked by what hussies today's males have become - and the shameless, fatal Jersey Shore that masculinity has washed up on.Metrosexy collects Simpson's essays chronicling the emergence of man's desire to be desired. And just how terrifyingly insatiable it turned out to be. Simpson takes a long look at men that long to be looked at, from metrosexual poster boy David Beckham to Daniel Craig's busty James Bond and concludes that the masculine aesthetic revolution is only just beginning to get into its sashay."Contrary to what you've been told," says Simpson, "metrosexuality is not about flip-flops and facials, man-bags or manscara. Or about men becoming 'girlie' or 'gay'. It's about men becoming everything. To themselves. In much the way that women have been for some time. It's the end of the sexual division of bathroom and bedroom labour. It's the end of sexuality as we've known it."More fun-packed than Beck's bulging briefs, The Situation's six-pack, or Ronaldo's ego, Metrosexy will leave you gasping and giggling and gagging for more. |
