Dressing for Work

I had a customer at my retail gig yesterday that was a joy to work with.  Usually I don’t include the race, ethnicity or religion of any of the folks I talk about because it’s not relevant.  However, in this case it is a relevant fact.  A young thin Black man approached me for help … More Dressing for Work

Dating Drawers

Although my retail gig was in Men’s Shoes, Men’s Underwear was right next door.  We often helped underwear customers with their purchases.  You can immediately spot single men that are dating by the underwear they select.  There are three categories of underwear worn by single men and I thought I would give you a description … More Dating Drawers

Accessorizing

My mother was a very fashionable woman.  She taught me how to combine and coordinate clothing and how to determine quality of garments.  She instilled in me that first impressions were crucial and that I should dress well when I leave the house.  My mom used to say it wasn’t important to have a large … More Accessorizing

Gay Giant

A buddy of mine at my retail gig was promoted to manage Ladies Departments on the first floor of the building as opposed to the second floor where all of the men’s departments are located.  Although I miss this young man because he was one of my favorite sparring partners, I’m also happy for him … More Gay Giant

Southern Hospitality

For those of you that haven’t been around me in the past few years, I am one of people that that will talk to anyone about anything at any time.  If nothing else, I will compliment, praise or simply extend a greeting.  One area where I have been told I should restrain myself is in … More Southern Hospitality

15th Anniversary

Ed and I took our first cruise for our 15th Anniversary.   Not only was it our first cruise, it was also our first “all gay” cruise.  We traveled with two other couples who were best friends.  It was early days in gay cruise business so the ship wasn’t particularly nice or up to date but … More 15th Anniversary

Red Basketball Shorts

I had a customer one day who entered the department looking like a shiny red apple.  He was a middle aged man who came in with his wife wearing red basketball shorts and a matching red tee shirt.  I complimented the guy on his look and he thanked me telling me his wife didn’t like … More Red Basketball Shorts

Show Me Tattoos

One thing that is almost always true is that men and women with multiple tattoos are exhibitionists.  Combine that with men who spend most of their free time in a gym making their bodies as perfect as possible, you can be guaranteed they are exhibitionists.  I have tested this theory several times and have never … More Show Me Tattoos

Big Cats

One day at my retail gig there was a man looking at shoes.  I noticed his fly was wide open and silky leopard print fabric was sticking out of the opening.  I very discretely told the gentleman about his fly and walked away while he took care of his trousers.  After he finished his shopping … More Big Cats

Open the Barn

On days that I worked, Ed prepared and packed a lunch for me before I got up in the morning.   He wants to make sure I eat healthy (have I mentioned I am spoiled).   As a result, I usually ate in the employee break room dominated by a large TV usually tuned to shows that … More Open the Barn
