My wife came home from getting her nails done and asked me, who's the really tall black basketball player? (yes I chuckled) After narrowing it down slightly by eliminating Hubbard I guessed, Chol? That's him, he was next to me getting a pedicure .... and has really big feet. I said, I'm sure he does. So there's your MSU sports update but got me to thinking about what used to generally be considered "women's care" stuff also now includes "men's care" and what does the Pack partake in? Generational thing the younger you are the more you do?
As a full fledged boomer I'm way past my "best by date" so I don't do much but shave my face and shower with run of the mill soap and shampoo. Throw in a little skin cream.
I will say when we lived up north and coming out of the long cold winter with dried out and cracked feet/heels my wife finally convinced me to get a pedicure. Man was that a game changer and gotta say it was a great experience. Looked like I had new feet. Done it again a few times but nothing routine. Had a manicure once but seemed pointless. Thumbs up on getting a pedicure?
Now it seems there is a balls obsession with the bombardment of commercials. First with under ware that "cradles them" and recently Dr Squatch helping shave and freshen them up. (What is it? Put your balls in our hands or something? Good grief). Not sure I've thought a lot about mine over the years other than when they were kicked. No complaints either but maybe just being nice. Have balls simply been the forgotten frontier of care and hygiene?
On the flip side, while I see the occasional cologne commercial I don't seem to smell any like I used to and it was every where, me included. Started on Hi Karate in Jr High, moved to Brute in high school and onto Polo in college and early working years. Been out of that business for a long time now. Any one wear cologne these days?
What's hip or routine these days if I was 20 to 40 years younger?

(until I won the lottery then all you oldies can suck it too).
