Well, I was more thinking of the DC sticker, but that works too. What's metro-sexual? Sounds like something dirty and Geo.

Quote

Metrosexual is a neologism, derived from metropolitan and heterosexual, coined in 1994 describing a man (especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture) who is especially meticulous about his grooming and appearance, typically spending a significant amount of time and money on shopping as part of this.[1] The term contrasts heterosexuals who adopt fashions and lifestyles stereotypically associated with homosexuals.

Origin

The term originated in an article by Mark Simpson[2] published on November 15, 1994, in The Independent. Simpson wrote:

Metrosexual man, the single young man with a high disposable income, living or working in the city (because that’s where all the best shops are), is perhaps the most promising consumer market of the decade. In the Eighties he was only to be found inside fashion magazines such as GQ, in television advertisements for Levi's jeans or in gay bars. In the Nineties, he’s everywhere and he’s going shopping.

However, it was not until the early 2000s when Simpson returned to the subject that the term became globally popular.

In 2002, Salon.com published an article by Simpson,[3] which identified David Beckham as the metrosexual poster boy and offered this updated, succinct definition:
The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis — because that’s where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference.

Quote

Narcissism, according to Simpson, plays a crucial role in the metrosexual concept. As Simpson writes in "Big Tits: Masochism and Transformation In Bodybuilding" [11] (Male Impersonators, 1994), narcissism is a very important aspect of contemporary masculinity. Citing Freud's On Narcissism, which analyzes the psychological aspect of narcissism and explains narcissistic love as follows:[12]

A person may love: (1) According to the narcissistic type: (a) What he is himself, (b) What he once was, (c) What he would like to be, (d) Someone who once was part of himself.

Just how many E36 rally cars have you built and/or driven, John? You seem to be quite the expert.
