Metrosexually Hong Kong


HK boys are so metro:

- They spend hours in the morning molding their hair into porcupine-like sculptures
- They carry brandname purses (LV messenger bag, gucci tote bags, come on!)
- They wear dangling earrings
- They wear PINK all the time
- They wear tight fitted shirts with floral patterns
- They own more than 5 different bottles of perfume
- They have hello kitty thingy dangling off their purses
- I am not allowed to touch their hair
- The possibility of wearing a baseball cap scared the heck outta them, as it will ruin the hair
- They roam around Mong Kok's Trendy Zone, browsing hello kitties and my melodies
- They shrieked "hoooo cuteeeee arrrr!" at cutesy things, including hello kitties and my melodies
- I thought they were all gay until I saw them groping their girlfriend

I've posted this as a comment on Nury Vittachi's article "The Questions Men Won't Answer".

Thanking my model for wearing such a metrosexual outfit and willingness to pose against a super pink wall. The post does not describe the model in particular, it is about Hong Kong boys in general.

Rita, you're spot on with this posting! I used to think all Hong Kong men are gay because - well, they go around with dangly hello kitty key chains allover their backpacks, spend hours in front of the mirror tweaking their hair and yet... and yet....

they have girlfriends? I was confused for a while until I realised it was the cool thing over there. LOL.
