In an article titled "Pimp Eye for the Lame Guy", MTV helpfully provides an "expert" to advice attendees on how to prepare for the VMAs: "Men on the level of being a playa, we're pedicuring and manicuring. We took it to another level where we're doing our fingernails. I like to keep mine short, 'cause I like to move around, shaking hands and fellowshipping. It's sort of hard for me to keep them long nails clean. Even females, just like the males, they done all trimmed they nails down to a certain minimum. It ain't as slick as it used to be in the days where the guys had the long fingernails and wore their little pinky rings." Perhaps the Texas knife salesman [Wes Melcher] should pay attention.
