I’ve heard guys complain that male style never changes.OK, we all know that’s not true. But I’ve heard girls complain that male style never changes.

Here are five modern male styles for inspiration, taken at a charity fashion show in Monoco Friday, featuring race car drivers from around the world.

Ladies, if you’d planned on buying your man or dad a necktie for Father’s Day, make new plans. Notice the absence of any neck adornment, except for the goofy looking checkered scarf on the far left. If Mr. Man feels naked without a scarf or tie, opt instead for the open scarf of model in the middle.

Postnatal woes

A few months ago, I wrote a joyful column about my miracle pregnancy. Then some jerky reader left a comment on the story about how my “body would never be the same” after pregnancy. At the time, I was annoyed, thinking, “Whatever, you don’t even knowwww.”

Well, Jerk, you were right.

At least for now. Three months after delivery and people have stopped asking me when I’m due (ahem, didn’t anyone ever tell you not to ask a girl that unless you are physically delivering the baby yourself, and even then maybe not?!), and my feet have shrunk back the 2 1/2 sizes they exploded, and my spleen is no longer constantly kick-boxed from within (now it’s being assaulted from the outside). I am slowly shrinking back to normal, but I’m still at that awkward post-baby phase where my old clothes don’t fit, but I’d rather wear my baby’s (dirty) diapers than touch maternity clothes.

So I shop.

Here is a dress I have found to help conceal the new-mama booby-do (as in “Her belly stick out farther than her booby do!”).
