Mark Bryan is a 61-year-old engineer with a wife and three kids, but unlike most married men in their 60s, Bryan loves to wear skirts and heels.
Whether he’s changing tyres or doing the school run, Bryan’s belief is that clothes should have no gender.
“I am just a normal, happily married, straight guy that loves Porsche’s, beautiful women, and likes to incorporate a skirt and heels into his daily wardrobe,” he writes on an Instagram post, (actually, on most of them).
Speaking to Bored Panda, Mark told them:
“I dress like this because I can. Just to be different. I have always admired the women that wore tight skirts and heels. Not sexually, but the power they presented. I don’t dress to be sexual, but to dress like any professional woman would. To me, clothes have no gender. I prefer skirts to dresses. Dresses don’t allow me to mix the genders. I prefer a ‘masculine’ look above the waist and a non-gendered look below the waist. It’s all about clothes having no gender.”
And his wife is perfectly happy with Mark’s decision to dress like a bad bitch, having told them she offered makes “suggestions” for what he should wear.
We can just imagine: Oh Mark, not the come-fuck-me boots, we’re going to my parents!
But if you thought Mark might have been the kind of straight guy partial to a kitten heel, he says no ma’am: “My favourite is a 5-inch stiletto. I just love the way they make me look and the feeling they give.”
Commenting on opinions his sexuality, Mark continues.
“I don’t act like a sissy, which is one of the most frequent comments I get from men. They just assume I’m gay and a sissy until they start talking to me. I am just an average, normal, straight, and happily married guy.”
OK, Martha, be careful. You might be able to walk in a heel but you’re dangerously close to tripping over those words.
