Courtenay Hameister gets sexy! Or at least, talks about sexy things. Okay, we started talking about pleated Dockers and Mom Jeans, but somehow, some way, we got from there to fishnet stockings and high heels, and the undeniable iconography of that imagery, and why it works on so many people the way it does. Yup – this is a fashion show, you guys, discussing not only how a Kilt can be sexy, but how Jorts will never be sexy, and larger men? The question of “to tuck in your shirt, or NOT to tuck in your shirt” is definitively answered. And as it often does, discussion on fashion leads to a discussion on relationships, and specifically, the idea that almost everyone looks at single people with a sad, sympathetic eye. Why do we do that, when it might just be that single people can be just as happy as those of us in relationships? Lotta answers get coughed up in today’s show – some disturbing, some revealing, some a little bit of both.

Fatboy was so quiet during the foot fetish talk. Did the audience learn something new?
You learned that it’s possible for me to get out of the way when Courtenay is on a roll. Many thought such a phenomenon to be nigh-impossible, what with my constantly bumping gums, and flapping yap.
But no, I don’t have a foot fetish.
High heels were originally invented by ancient Egyptian butchers so they would not be standing in pools of blood all day. Yay useless information!
My Bingo card is missing the square that says -Fatboy says “Here’s the fashion tip from Cort & Fatboy”- The discussion of cargo shorts made me laugh to the point of tears. And I’m with Courtenay, men in kilts are hot. Loved this show!
As a Scot, I think I’m going to have to start wearing kilts……and move to Portland.
I’m sick of going on dates alone……:D
Listening to the podcast, not at the 30 minute mark yet but had to comment.
A foot fetish, I do not have. But if a lady puts on some high heels, it can be incredible eye candy. For me, the heels compliment the legs, and that’s the appeal for me, I’m not someone who is looking at how well constructed the heel is, or what materials they’re made out of. No. I’m thinking “ooh, and this leads up to… OH!… and she’s wearing a… no she’s not.” It’s playful in that sense, so I understand the power of the lure with heels. There are the fuck-me pumps that Amy Winehouse once did a song about, and a new generation became aware of the slang people use for them. Fishnets? Morris Day knew the deal, I find them sexy. Nylons? Oh yeah! Take them off too. Hell, barefoot and stubby, I’m down for the cause, fuck it.
In other words, it’s more about the look and the lure for me, rather than the actual shoe, heel, or foot, but more power to those who wish to get off with the method(d) of choice.
As for clothes, I will always rock T-shirts. While I’m not someone who goes to clubs or is much of a party goer, I will dress up in something nice and presentable, but I’ve always been casual and I’ll remain that way. In high school I had my share of Polo’s although… I should say it was always Polo knockoffs. Again, if I was buying my own clothes back then, I would not have bought any but if it looked Polo-ish and it had a collar with some animal logo on the chest (could be a shark, could be an amoeba), I probably had it. I haven’t seen my high school senior pictures in years but I think of my pose and go “damn, what a dork I was.”
I have never worn a tucked-in T-shirt. I realize that for some it’s more presentable, but I’ve always been a big guy. As I’m trying to improve my health, when I get to a state of being a bit thinner, maybe I can see myself improving my wardrobe but even the thought of that seems too weird. Shirt and jeans have always been comfortable to me, but if I start becoming more GQ, who knows. I’ll become Mr. Smooth.
As a dude, I care little what other guys wear. Dress like a schlub all you want. Though I have one peeve. Guys wearing cheap flip-flops (almost always wearing loose shorts beneath the knees with them) shuffling down the walk like each foot weighs 30 pounds. When I see this some near-dormant, parental instinct in me suddenly surfaces and I just want to say “Hey, HEY! Pick up your feet! And cover your feet with shoes you slothy puke!”
That is all.
Kinda surprised we never got around to flip-flops. That might be one fashion accessory almost as hated as Jorts.
Mercy! Courtenay got me all hot and bothered under the collar and I still have 4 hours at work! Then I googled jorts and this cooled me off: http://www.jorts.com/
Best part of the show was when Bobby told Courtenay “you’re welcome” for men having nice legs. Cracked me up.
I wear cargo shorts, and I use the shit out of those pockets. I don’t, however, use the back pockets. Too tough to access when in the car.
