Good to see the men in the same shallow spotlight

Its nice to see that the men are getting a chance to go under the microscope as far as their appearance is concerned. News that the Prime Minister has a stylist have thrust his image into the spotlight as an issue up for discussion. No longer do we only have comments about what shoes BC Finance Minister Carole Taylor is wearing to the budget speech, or what colour Belinda Stronach has died her hair, now we have hardhitting articles that question what happened to the PM's suntan. I also in read an article the other day that Scott Brison has offered his styling service to Mr. Harper free of charge...

The people who say its outrageous or unfair to be so concerned about the Prime Minister's personal grooming efforts should double check that they weren't also the same people constantly fixated on Belinda Stronach's appearance. If its unfair for the PM to be judged on his appearance, so to is it unfair to judge any woman. I must say, a part of me is enjoying seeing the flip side of an issue that has been an unfair double standard for far too long...
