NECKLESS

Dear The Husband,

Thanks. A lot. Thanks so much for not wearing necklaces.

It's creepy. And I'm not sure why, but creepy nonetheless.

It makes me awfully uneasy when I see a spec of shimmer peeking out from beneath a man's collar.

Silly boys; jewelry is for girls.

So thanks. Thanks that when you shirt neckline shifts to the side innocent onlookers aren't assaulted by the sight of silver and gold. Thanks that when you swim there isn't a slinky chain accenting the masculinity of hair on your chest. (Oh calm down, Dear Reader.)

Again I say: Creepy.

Thanks for not being the guy who thinks the bling of his wedding ring isn't enough shazam! for such a fellow as he is. Thanks for being a watch and ring man. Thanks for not being a watch, ring and bracelet man. And thanks so very much for not being a watch, ring, bracelet and necklace man.

'Cause we never would have worked, you and I, if you were a necklace fellow. Lace. Lace for the neck. Neck lace. A necklace.

Nowadays, lace is for girls, guys.

Leave the chains to chicks.

My darling, my dear, my spouse-sans-sparkle, I love you.

I love your necklace free neck.

With affection and appreciation for the fact that you aren't creepy,

Wife Meg

What I would like to know is where do you even buy man-jewelry? There's Claire's, but is there Clarence's?

I'd have to totally agree that it is a bit creepy when men wear jewlery. Especially when they have on more than I do! Ha!

By the way, I sent you an email about a new blog design, did you get it? Thanks!

You funny girl. I have a boss who is a bling wearer, and oddly enough (and I don't say this often), but he pulls it off. Call me crazy, but I don't mind it. Now if Tadd were to come home wearing bling, that would be proposterous.

Seriously. Creepy may not even begin to describe it. Ew. Gross.

Hate man jewelry. Well said, it is very creepy.

Tell him thanks from me too.

oh praise the lord for him not wearing necklaces. when i think of a necklace on a man i think of a big fat Italian with a cigar in his mouth wearing a dirty wife beater and scratching his unmentionables.

no and thank you.

Thank you for this post. I couldn't agree more with you!

Just Sue said...

Maybe a little late, but I do know one guy who is so stinkin' masculine that he is actually someone who can wear it and it LOOKS GOOD...that someone? Non other than Morgan Jones/Andie's husband!

meg said...

Ah. I must agree that Morgan looks nothing like a sissy.

Oh except for those hot beach bums wearing those puka shell necklaces. Those are so incredibly zexy on a freshly shaved chest... (which is obviously a must. Can you imagine getting your chesty hairs wrapped in one of those??)... nevertheless: puka shells = so hot right now. And/or 10 years ago.












please know from the bottom of my heart i hate them tragically

Better late than never (spent the last couple of days cooped up in my room and lapping up your blog) but in aggreeance to the whole "man necklace" theory, I agree, and add that I can't stand pinkie rings. Period.
