Telegraph | Fashion | Grooming: Blair does it, generals do it, even accountants and preachers do it
Fascinating article, but bollocks.
They cite Tony Blair, Bertie Ahern and Silvio Berlusconi as metrosexuals who spend more on their appearance than the average woman. Well, definitely more than I spend on make-up etc
But they're missing the point - Tony, Bertie et al appear frequently on TV. Everyone who appears on TV wears make-up. It's really not a vanity-manity-metrosexual thing at all. If someone appears on TV without make-up they look like death warmed up, without the warmed up bit. And not just TV. Photoshoots, too. Any man who wears make-up at all frequently, for TV etc, is soon going to learn what every teenage girl learns about the need to cleanse and moisturise.
Even John Prescott wears make-up for TV. But he doesn't get a mention because he doesn't fit the thesis of Metrosexual.
