I think the 'metrosex' thing was probably quite a good thing for us TG folk. Means we can get away with looking a bit more well groomed without looking too well groomed. > MAC They are very helpful in MAC, but they didn't have what I wanted (the fantastic foundation that folk rave about). Plus, the shop's smack bang in the middle of town. Fine for some folk, but they'd be better off coming to a well known social group. The lady from the Body Shop is raking it in ;-) A few years ago it was moisturiser for men, now it seems you can get moisturiser with ‘tan enhancer’ for men now.

But by leaving the choice to male/female no-ones' jumping to any conclusions. It's probably for the best. Besides, no-one else should see the info. I'm chuffed in a way though that Rimmel recognise males as part of their market. Who knows, may be they'll start doing promotions, product launches, etc. aimed at males. now there's a thought... :) Having said that, the Nottingham MAC store told me they'd tried a MAC evening for TGs, but the response wasn't sufficient to warrant repeating the excercise. not their exact words but you get the drift.

I mean realistically they must *know* that we use their products. Maybe they have ‘male’ because it’s more subtle than putting ‘TG’ Like you, I’d like to know why though.
