Nothing wrong with men wearing corsets. They do the same thing for men as they do women. *************** There's also "Topsy Turvy" where they argue in a costume fitting about the lead singer's corset....in the 1880's. And Jonathan Frakes, Riker in Star Trek, the Next Generation, wore one... according to one of his dressers for the (dreadfully funny) miniseries "North & South". It was his corset, not the wardrobe department's, so apparently he wore it for "Trek" too. Even if one is not cinching in the waist with tight lacing, the corset makes one look slimmer because it makes the waist round. If you look at the shape of the waist from the top, it will be an oval with the long part going from side to side and the narrow part going from front to back. By simply encasing the waist in a corset this oval becomes round. This make one look slimmer than normal from the front. The catch is now you look wider from the side, but usually your arms are there so it doesn't matter so much. And of course, one looks better if standing up straight, which the corset encourages. **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.
