Mankinis!

Thanks to Sandy for giving us a heads up about this mankini sighting at the New York City marathon. (via gothamist)

Googling "mankini" I then came across this designer mankini created for a fashion show.

Finally, I wasted even more time browsing the online mankini shop that features a video of a guy in a mankini getting shot by paintball guns. That's got to hurt.

I so did NOT need to see that. If I have to shave my hair down there, any man wearing this mankini should, too.

Maxx, you're a fan of "Boston Legal"?

I'll pass. Picture a good old German beer belly and a mankini!

Never seen it Expat.

As hairy as I am I'd look like Smokey the Bear in a mankini. Not good.

Do they come in Chartreuse? and does Wicked Weasel make one? (I'm a bit off an exhibitionist)

I wonder if fat hairy Greek men where these in Europe?

Caffeinated Katie I've no idea. Don't make it to the beach much.
