Jean Paul Gaultier: "Codpieces are Coming Back"

Paris, France

As we have seen through the reintroduction of Bell Bottoms, Tweed, and Danskins- fashions are cyclical and anything is possible. One fashion that has been long forgotten by the mainstream is making it's way back from the history books. Jean Paul Gaultier, the famous designer who introduced man-skirts in the 80's and produced costumes for Madonna in the 90's, including her cone-shaped bra for the Blond Ambition Tour, is now setting his sights on a fashion for men, codpieces. A codpiece is a pouch that attaches to the front of men's trousers to accentuate the genitals. It was widely used by European men during the 15th and 16th centuries. Even in a time before basketball players and porn stars, European men driven by insecurity, wore codpieces to provide the effect of having larger genitals. But Gaultier is looking to change that in a big way. "Codpieces are so fun! The last time I saw a codpiece worn was by Freddy Mercury. Everybody should wear one. Let's flaunt the genitals like it's 1552!" shouted Gaultier. "I'm surprised that this trend never caught on with the Asian men," giggled Gaultier. His announcement came right after Paris' Annual Fashion Week. "I am ready to take the fashion world by storm once again. I will not rest until codpieces are on everyone's mind. "We are going to get medieval this decade...a little bit naughty," said Gaultier. He plans to begin production on the codpiece pants next month at his factory in Paris and have them in stores everywhere in the U.S. by Fall 2011. A call has been placed to Justin Bieber's agent for Bieber to become the cover boy for Gaultier's latest creation.

How Do You Think This Looks As An Exercise Outfit?

I generally wear an outfit like this with bike shorts or a skort for exercising. I'm thinking of buying these to replace some older exercise stuff.

All in black.
I just don't like being wrapped up in a lot of clothing when I exercise unless I'm out running and it's friggin freezing outside. I don't really care about being watched and my usual look is very punk and people look at me all the time. It's the price of being different.
Trumpet Lover - Since you suggested it I'd probably get a pair of those shorts in hot pink if they had it! ^_^
I ordered it! All black of course. It's outfits like this that make me want to stay slim and in shape otherwise I'd wanna hide in baggy sweats all the time and that'd be so depressing!

I approve But I'm a fan of colors so i would probably go with hot pink! *giggle*

It's a Boy! $12.99 From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain, It’s a Boy! is the first major parenting book to chart every stage of a boy’s life. This upbeat, authoritative, and reassuring guide–written by psychologist Michael Thompson, Ph.D., a leading international expert on boys’ development, and journalist Teresa H. Barker–shows how a boy’s inner life progresses through infancy, childhood, and adolescence. What do boys actually need? How exactly does a healthy boy look and act? It’s a Boy! has the answers, providing expert advice on the developmental, psychological, social, and academic life of boys from infancy through the teen years. Exploring the many ways in which boys strive for masculinity and attempt to define themselves, Dr. Thompson identifies the key developmental transitions that mark a boy’s psychological growth and emotional health, and the challenges both boys and parents face at each age. • Expecting a Boy: how our deeply held hopes, fears, and family histories shape our expectations of boys and our parenting techniques • Baby Boys (birth to 18 months): falling in love with your son, healthy attachment, trust, and temperament • Toddler Years (18 months to 3 years): boys on the go, bold steps, blankies, budding language, and rambunctious physicality • Powerful Little Boys (ages 3 and 4): superhero ambitions, penis play and potty talk, learning to manage the force of his anger, and celebrating the power of the boy group • Starting School (ages 5 through 7): developmental cues for school readiness, transitional challenges, girl cooties and boys-only play, tough talk, tender hearts, and first friends • Boys on a Mission (ages 8 through 10): striving for mastery in sports, screen games, and boy society, organizing the boy brain for school success, and glaring academic gender gaps • The Preteen (ages 11 through 13): puberty, posturing and popularity, the culture of cruelty, hidden sensitivity, and stoic silence in the middle school years • Early High School (ages 14 and 15): the secret life of boys, powerful peer groups, sexuality, school strategies, the shift away from Mom (she knows too much), and yearning for Dad’s respect and attention • On the Brink of Manhood (ages 16 through 18): the quest for independence, sex, love, driving, drinking, and other choices and challenges of life Practical, insightful, wonderfully engaging, and filled with instructive true stories any parent of a son will recognize, It’s a Boy! is the definitive guide to raising boys in today’s world, revealing with humor, compassion, and joy all the infinite varieties of boys and the deep and profound ways in which we love them.
