Here's an insignificant, non-newsworthy (deal with it) Prince reference in an MSN article on male vanity:

weaves and heels?

But while men might get the no-nonsense sales pitch around the cosmetics counters, women get most of the great camouflaging products.

It's simple for women; if they have a zit, they can use cover-up foundation (that beige colored stuff that comes in a thick liquid form); if they're short, they can wear heels; if their hair is long enough, they can get a weave.

But if you saw a guy walking down any street on any given day wearing makeup, high heels and fake hair (hey, leave Prince out of this), don't even think about remarking that you wouldn't look at him as though he just walked off the set of a RuPaul video.

Guys just don't have the luxury of covering up their flaws with 4 pounds of makeup and shoes that add a couple of inches to their vertical drawbacks. Instead, we have to make do with what we've got and hope that women appreciate the fact that we don't have a unibrow or sandpaper skin.
