you should. . .wear that shirt more often

Yes, it’s pink, and that makes you a wee bit uncomfortable. You figure you have enough problems with your masculinity as it is (the history of public cross dressing, disco lessons, and your love of French film hasn’t helped), but everyone loves you in that pink shirt.

You prefer to call it mauve, plum, or salmon, but no one is fooled about your pink shirt. It’s a well-fitted cotton dress shirt with a not-too-wide collar and a little space in the neck (for your chest hair). At first you were shy, and thought about wearing something different. But you stuck with the pink shirt, and it’s a good thing. They all love it so much. Lena at the office, “Wow, I’ve never seen you in that. You look nice. Did you shower, too?”

Miranda, “I like your shirt. Are you a summer?”

Branson, “Nice pink shirt, fag.” But you figure you can’t win them all. And the ladies love your pink shirt. Maybe next week, you should wear it untucked.

Now, if only you could win them over with your powder blue polyester pants.
