The Way We Man Now: Shiny Is Unacceptable

This is one of those Thursday Styles stories that people are going to make fun of on the Internet, but hold up. Truthfully we are all involved in the battle against male shininess! Quite some time ago we begged White House press dude Robert Gibbs to get his TV shininess under control. (The results have been good!) So the Times goes long to review the burgeoning market of men’s anti-shininess products but we all know there is only one: “Lancome’s Pure Focus T-ZONE POWDER GEL.” Believe it. (The next stop in our anti-shininess crusade: getting new anti-reflective coatings on The Nation’s Chris Hayes’ new glasses. He comes on the TV sometimes, and it’s all shiny!)
