GUY week!

Readers, I'm thrilled to announce that tomorrow, March 6, we'll be kicking off our First Annual MPB Guy Week.  

And what a week it's gonna be!

Obviously a great many of my readers are women -- I magnetize them somehow -- and that's fantastic; I couldn't be happier about it.

But I sometimes fear that my male readers end up a little neglected in the process.  So this coming week we're gonna focus on the stuff us guys enjoy. 

Sports...



 Style.



Flicks.



And chicks...


...chicks...

 
Chicks!


Just guys being guys.



I hope you women understand -- it's nothing personal; guys just need guy-time now and then.

But before I forget, I must announce the winner of Thursday's groovy pattern giveaway.  She's a Leo from New England who loves Nancy Drew, let's give a big hand to....

Lisette!


Lisette, email me your mailing address (peterlappinnyc at gmail dot com) and I'll get that pattern off to you ASAP.

As far as new Ken doll names go, we'll be covering that during Guy Week!

In closing, if there's anything you guys want to make sure I cover during Guy Week let me know.  My list is long but there's no rest for the weary.

Jock straps? (check)

Shaving?  (check)

Beer?  (belch)

Don't be shy, guys.  Let your voices be heard!

If any women are having feelings about this, I encourage open sharing, as always.


Got a light?

    OK Peter, I'm a girl, but you made me laugh with your siren call to the guys. I fully support your effort to go all guy this week!

    When you do the jockstrap segment could you please include ballet undergarments? How to fit & all that stuff that I never have had to worry about before. My young man will be turning the big 13 this fall & his instructor says its time for the older boys to make the move to adult garments (v the regular underwear). That is not something carried in the local stores, mail order only & while to small might be bad, worse would be too large.

    But I'm always up for a Guy Week. ;-)

    I have nothing to say about Guy Week. My 4 guys don't really appreciate my sewing for them. However.......I LOVE Olga! She was my childhood hero.
    For some strange reason this post makes me want to start collecting Ken dolls. Wierd, I know.

    Peter, I'd like to see something on men's vests, the instructions lose me on the turning inside-out and sewing up the final seam part,

    Guy week.. how macho of you Peter. I'm sure the vinyls are delighted with this new turn of events. Have you thought about sewing Ken clothes for them?

    How about a little something on sewing men's hats?

    Jock straps? Commando
    Shaving? No

    I wonder if you know about Raymond Houston, a quilter whose blog is Tesselation Nation? And another site he has is Grandma Nacho's Quilts or something like that. So cool. Check out his "Naughti Gras" quilt in Mardi Gras colors.
