If there’s one rule I’ve lived by in this life, it’s this: Never try to separate a New Zealand rugby fan from his mankini…. But he and other fans like him are banned from wearing the Borat-style mankini at this year’s International Sevens competition in Wellington. And now I, also, feel a bit sheepish about wearing mine at sporting events. Sorry, girls!
I suppose there are men who could pull this look off and make it look as if they were born to wear a mankini. I, and I suppose I should be thankful for this, an not one of them. I’m not at all certain what I would do if there were pictures of me wearing one of these floating around the Internet. This is probably why it’s a good idea to make certain that you never have your picture taken wearing anything you wouldn’t want your mother to see you in…unless Mom is the one who gave it to you.
I’m not certain that I’d ever want to see the rear view of this fashion monstrosity. Then again, if you have the balls (no pun intended) to wear this in public, you probably don’t much care about anything. You’re just happy to be wearing something that puts your package front and center.
