NYT Reviews Hypermasculine Fashion Bloggers

Over at Dapper District is a short blog post on a New York Times article, "Straight Talk: A New Breed of Fashion Bloggers".  It says:
And not just any guy with an eye for fashion. There are hyper-masculine dudes who “look at men’s fashion the way other guys look at cars, gadgets or even sports,” said Tyler Thoreson, the editorial director of Park & Bond, a men’s retail site.

“There’s the same attention to detail.”

In other words, these are macho fashion bloggers, writing for a post-metrosexual world. “It’s translating this sort of very-guy approach to something that’s so traditionally been quasi-effeminate,” Mr. Thoreson added.
Mr Dapper District, lawyer Lee Warren, didn't get mentioned.  Then neither did I.  Wait until next year.
