I don't have an issue with a man wearing the color pink.

But I think of summer clothes being pink, not winter.

Shorts and tank tops etc.

I like men who dress in all colors.

Anything that gets men out of suits and ties I'm all for.

Suits and ties remind me of a strait jacket.

The tie will go down in history and the most useless piece of clothing ever invented.

I like the way Jon Batiste dresses.

I have always like anything that is shiny, sparkles, lights up, glitters, or shimmers etc.

That is my taste in decorating and in clothes.

Glass, mirrors, chrome, dramatic lighting, black lacquer furniture, etc.

My mother hated taking me clothes shopping for back to school.
