*How do you say that?
If you've ever been stumped by designer names, you'll love this nifty new
resource on the site, in collaboration with the French Guide, Laura
Lawless. Listen to the audio to get the correct pronunciation down pat on
Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Balmain and more. Look for Italian designer
names to be added soon.

*Men in skirts
It started out innocently enough: a poster in the forum asks about a male
musician spotted in a skirt. As all really good discussions usually go,
this one has gotten heated, insulting, and downright interesting. Is it
cool for guys to wear skirts? Is this the next big thing? Is a kilt a
skirt? Should employers discriminate against skirt-wearing guys? A sample:
"I am a male, I am hetero, I have a girlfriend, and I WEAR SKIRTS." Check
out the hottest thread we've ever had and put in your two cents'worth.
