Mickey Rourke's Man Purse: A Bold Fashion Choice for Gross Gym Rats

Maureen O'Connor · 12/05/11 04:20PM

First Lenny Kravtz carried a man purse, and I did not care, because he's Lenny Kravitz and was wearing high-heel boots, too. But then Mickey Rourke carried a man purse, and it was thrilling, because he's Mickey Rourke! Craggy-faced, greasy-haired, unquestionably heterosexual Mickey Rourke! Micky Rourke in sweatpants, a cowboy shirt, and a giant cold sore. Blister-lipped Mickey Rourke with a dainty purse in his hand. Yes, it's official, the man purse is here to stay.

Breakthrough study in the field of sex-on-the-mind-ology: Men do not think about sex once every seven seconds, researchers at Ohio State University report. They think about sex 19 times a day, which boils down to once every 50 minutes. (Assuming 16 hours of wakefulness and that those horrible recurring nightmares about Great Aunt Ida don't count.)

Are you a Filipino woman displaced by separatist fighting, and unable to sell your goods at market thanks to a closed-down road? Why not band together with your fellow woman at the sewing cooperative and withhold sex from your husbands until they stop fighting and re-open the road?
