FASHION ALERT: Today In "Kinky" New Outwear For Men!

By

What will adorable straight men wear next? Personally, I never would have guessed keys. From the 1950s through the 70's, when gheys wore keys as outerwear, it signified sexy times, or rather, if you wore them on the right side, it meant you were passive, on the left, dominant (or maybe it was the other way around?) (there were a lot of rules back then and I honestly don't know how anyone kept track). 


But in an amusing twist, The Wall Street Journal, of all places, is reporting that the "hot new trend" for straight men (pictured above) is to wear keys hanging from belt loops, even going so far as to call it, "Kind of kinky! Swashbuckling! A peacocking statement!" I'm not joking. They may as well just scream, "It means you have a taco hammer!"

Never mind that bikers, as wells as plumbers and other laborers, have been "peacocking" with outerwear keys forever, even before the gheys, but The Wall Street Journal credits this modern key resurgence to the band Green Day, who wore them in the early 2000s. Say what?

I am very tempted to call this new key lewk the Axe Body Spray of fashion, or something akin to the chucklesome "Metrosexual" (or a straight guy who combs his hair and changes his t-shirt twice in one week). It's also a sign of our times. How can you be non-binary and such if you're wearings keys, gawddammit?! You iz a man who likes pousay! And so I give you an appropriate song from 1987. Let's all sing along, shall we?

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
