Manly Monday: The Man Who Went To Paris, With Love

How could I NOT make the dude from Google’s Parisian Love Super Bowl commercial today’s Manly Monday?!?! Wait. Okay. Back up. Maybe I should start by explaining, yes, I watched “the football.” As many of you know, I’m not a sports fan … unless we’re talking about soccer. Nevertheless, I agreed to party with Gene and Peter. Game, schmame. I wanted to watch the commercials & kick back a few beers with my two guy friends. I was happy the Saints won. Sad there were so many ad guys angry about vagina out there. And delighted the Google commercial was so heartwarming. For me, “Parisian Love” struck a chord because reminded me how life is much more about happenstance than it is about sticking to very carefully laid plans. Start off heading in one direction, follow wherever the “search” may lead. Simple. Beautiful. Kudos, Google. Did the rest of you watch the Superbowl, too?

Free Giveaway: Valentine’s Day Love Kit (Deadline: 2/10)

Who doesn’t love free stuff? Thanks to Match.com, I’m able to hook up a Funky Brown Chick reader with “The Love Kit.” The package will likely include lip balm to make your mouth even more kissable, a copy of Whitney Casey’s 256-page guide The Man Plan, yummy dark chocolates, a Match.com membership discount coupon, a free 1-month online movie rental subscription and other undisclosed goodies. Also, if the reader is female, you’ll get a manicure set. If the winner is a guy, you’ll receive a shaving kit — but only if you promise you won’t use the razor to remove chest hair. Keep that part hairy. We like it.

Match.com Valentine's Day Giveaway

How do you enter to win? It’s easy. Whether or you’re married, single or other, I want to know what you’re doing for Valentine’s Day. So, tell me! There are three ways to let me know (and, thereby enter to win the free Match.com goody bag). Here’s how: (1) Leave a comment on www.funkybrownchick.com; (2) tell me on Facebook; or (3) reply on Twitter – @funkybrownchick – with the hashtag #MatchKit. No need to do all three — e.g. don’t respond on the FBC and Facebook and Twitter. Pick one method, whichever method is easiest for you. Deadline is midnight (New York time) on Wednesday, 2/10.

Since I’m asking about your plans, it only seems fair to tell you about mine. For Valentine’s Day 2010, I’ll spend the afternoon making long distance telephone calls to my family back in Illinois. During the evening, I’ll be at The Grown and Sexy Valentine Party, a private gathering of friends and lovers with champagne, cupcakes and chocolate served. In other words, this year, I’m taking timing out to appreciate the love I have in life (friends & family) instead of focusing on what I don’t have at the moment (a boyfriend). Yep. That’s the plan. Now, let me what you’re doing.

Full Disclosure: I don’t receive compensation or kickbacks from Match.com. I’m not promoting this giveaway because I’m on anyone’s payroll; I’m promoting it because I was approached, and I thought the opportunity to give Funky Brown Chick readers free stuff sounded delightful.

Manly Monday Poll: Should Men Wax Their Chest Hair?

If you’ve been to Funky Brown Chick before, you know we kick the week off with Manly Monday — joyful celebrations of a particular man and/or a testosterone-filled idea. In recent weeks, we’ve talked about Tiger Woods, penis size and men who fake orgasms. Inspired by a Chicago friend (Nestor Brûlée), today’s manly topic is: chest hair removal. I don’t know if Nestor’s torso sprouts fur because, unfortunately, I’ve never seen him naked. We only discussed chest hair after I shared a 90s Marky Mark Calvin Klein commercial featuring Mark Walhberg’s (huge package and) smooth, hairless pecs on my Facebook. “Waxed chests,” Nestor commented, “yea or nay?”

As I’ve said plenty o’ times: There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving a hairy man. Actually, all things being equal, I’m usually more likely to be sexually sparked by guys with hairy arms, legs and chests. I like strong, dark features. Seriously, ask me about my “thing” for the 70s porn stud look. My vote: DON’T wax it. Of course my body is, for the most part, totally hairless. So, maybe that makes me a hypocrite. In any case, feel free to use the comments section to tell men what you think: “Should guys wax or laser their chest hair?”
