it's all gay

no frankie, this post isn't meant to target you. i'm done with playing around with your sexuality. it's getting boring. anyway, we have a (shaky?) truce so let's concentrate on other things.

i went to the heeren shops today and found...no, not one, not two, heck, not even three, but four newurbanmale.com stores. i was absolutely surprised. as surprised as when the normally homo-friendly rachel blurted, "it's all gay", when i told her that i had enjoyed my trip to bangkok in march.

yes i know the shiny happy image is rather contagious. i mean, seriously, who doesn't want to be part of the colourful newurbanmale movement? i, for one, do not, simply because of the prices. you're paying a bit too much for a simple tee with a tongue-in-cheek slogan and coloured linings. or rubber flip-flops that give minimal cushion between your feet and the earth. or supportive underwear that adds boost to you-know-what but serves no-big-purpose. pun intended.

standing in the shop, i wanted to approach the salesman to enquire about his muscles.
"do you all need to be so muscular?"
"are you gay?"
"are you all gay?"
"really?"

it's almost like NewUrbanMale.com is monopolising the shop space at the heeren. now, whenever i think of the heeren, i think of NUM. they should call it the heeNUM shops instead.

then, the next stop was topman at wisma atria, a place where my brother, darren, would be extra careful when he visits.

you see, he got hit on by the same salesman there twice. the first time, i was on-hand to witness the proceedings. he told darren that he had nice shoes and asked for his number so they could, you know, play board games. the second instance was when he visited the store with his girlfriend. he tried on a blazer and the same salesman moved over to adjust his collar. only that there was no collar on the blazer or tee. and his girlfriend just stood there helpless. all that touchy-feely got darren not hot, but certainly bothered.
