Angela Newman is a woman on a mission.
Much like the heralded Sara Blakely who created Spanx because she was looking for underwear and nylons that served a specific purpose (footless pantyhose, and super-supportive Spandex), Angela had an underwear problem that she wanted to solve.

So the other day, Web Watch was flipping through one of our myriad of magazine subscriptions when one of those annoying response card things fell into our lap.
But before we could toss it away as we do all the others, we noticed there was something different about it. This one had gift card attached to it.
A $500 gift card.
“Whoa,” we said. What did we do to deserve this, other than subscribe to a magazine or two?

Not everyone knows what to wear to a job interview.
Yeah, the traditional suit should still work, but in today’s wacky world of “business casual” or “jeans Fridays”, the potential job seeker sometimes chooses the wrong outfits to appear at the potential future office with.
The good interviewer will share what the usual “around the office” dress code is, but that doesn’t mean that the applicant should show up in the same type of clothes in order to fit in. You don’t have the job yet, Bucko, so leave the flip-flops at home. Flip-flops don’t belong in the office anyway.
So what should the applicant wear? Well, you can never go wrong with a suit — unless you know ahead of time that the office is a bit more casual, in which case go with some nice slacks and dress shirt (but lose the tie).

Black Faux Leather Fashion Steel Boned Corset
Men, you like the corsets, don’t you?
Of course you do. You find them sexy on pretty much any woman who goes through the effort of putting on one for you.
But would you feel the same if the tables were turned, and YOU were the one to wear a Male Corset? Well, it could happen — Asda in the UK is now selling a male corset. Of course, Asda doesn’t go as far as to call it a corset — that wouldn’t do well for sales, would it?

How to be a Man: A Guide to Style and Behavior for the Modern Gentleman
If you have read DETAILS or GQ magazines over the past few years, you’ve probably seen the Style column written by Glenn O’Brien.
You may mock the recommendation for this book or others like it that have variations of “for the Modern Man” in the title, but you’ll find that if you pick them up and give them a quick glance, you’ll find at least a dozen helpful hints and suggestions hidden among all the things that you may feel don’t apply to you.
In other words, go out and get it. And frankly, any of these books make great gifts to your favorite nephew or younger cousin just about to enter high school or college. Might even get them set into the right direction as they’re about to head off into adulthood.

Hard to believe, but there are EIGHT MISTAKES GUYS MAKE ABOUT HOW THEY WEAR THEIR UNDERPANTS.

Clown shoes, unless you are a clown, are not one of the FIFTY TYPES of SHOES THAT EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN.
Web Watch will make this one a bit easy, as men should probably only own five pairs of shoes:
The average guy doesn’t need 15 different types of kicks, in various brands and/or colors. Just pick a sneaker and wear that to play tennis or basketball, or walk around the mall in. We’ll make an exception of mowing the grass — you should have a dedicated pair of old Keds for that, just because.
And you’ll get a pass for golf shoes or bowling shoes as well. Web Watch does love some good bowling.
But let’s take a look at this list of 50 shoes that every guy needs. Really? What guy do you know who has more than maybe six different shoes — not counting Giant Moose Head Slippers? Let’s take a look at the full list after the break:

If you are a fan of 1960′s culture, such as what the TV show Mad Men tries to be, then you should be aware that the dapper 1960′s-era fashion is also making a bit of a comeback – a trend that has been directly attributed to the popularity of the fashion styles shown on that program:
And one item that has been consistently praised across the board is that the Mad Men fashion craze has brought back the Granny Panty.

Every day, you hear them.
Clippity, cloppity. Flippity, floppity.
The sound of rubber slapping against the heel of one of your co-workers who feel that flip-flops are perfectly acceptable office wear.
“But we work in a casual office,” they exclaim. “Joe in Accounting wears shorts every Friday,” they plead.
Yes, Joe may wear shorts every Friday, but they’re nice shorts paired with a collared shirt and a pair of casual loafers. He’s dressed to hang out near the beach…not on it.

Web Watch openly admits that we grew up with the eight-color box of Crayola crayons.
We don’t know the difference between cyan, sky blue, light blue, purple, blueberry, navy blue, royal blue, denim, or burnt sienna colors.
To us, those all qualify as “blue”, and since they’re all the same color they all should match appropriately to each other. Besides, “jeans” go with everything, right? Right.
And because of our keen fashion sense, Web Watch knows that we can comfortably sit back and mock other people’s fashion choices of their own.
Because Web Watch would never stoop so low as to participate in any of the EIGHT FASHION TRENDS THAT MEN FOLLOW THAT WOMEN HATE.

How many bras does the average woman own?
Pop quiz: How many bras does the average woman own?
An even better question is how many women own bras that they’ve never even worn?
With women lamenting the high cost of bras (well, good ones, at least), one would think that women would be more careful about ensuring that their underwear money… excuse us, lingerie money… goes to good use.
The answer comes from an online retailer who surveyed women about their bra-buying and wearing habits.
