Welcome to “Things In His House That Make Me Sad,” a regular series from the blog Shmitten Kitten that we’ll be featuring on The Frisky, about the stuff seen in so many guys’ apartments that just make you shake your head and sigh.
Oh my God, I hate your computer. No one owns a Dell on purpose unless you’re an NYU student in 1997. Just typing my username into Gmail feels like I’m playing a sticky instrument. Ewwww! Keep reading »

Why does it smell like a locker room filled with rotten apples in here? Oh, that’s his candle? He’s trying to make his house smell like this on purpose? Oy vey.
I don’t hate all candles, just stinky, old, dusty, disfigured ones that punch me in the face with their stench. Who wants to smell spiced apples when it’s practically summer? At least make your candle seasonally appropriate. Throw me a clean linen or sea breeze, dude! Keep reading »
Poor dudes. Masturbation is just so messy. Once a dude is ready to blow, he’s forced to find a roll of toilet paper, box of tissues, or a sock to take care of the aftermath. Well, it’s time for men to save their Kleenex for the sniffles, stop using up all the TP, and leave their socks on. Now when he masturbates, he can simply wear a Man Bib! These handmade and machine washable bibs tie around the penis for one-size-fits-all convenience. Instead of having to leave the scene of the crime, he can masturbate and bask in the pleasure of having his clean team right there. Man Bibs come in camo for the hunter, denim for the cowboy, leather for the biker, tartan for the Scotsman, Studio55 for the metrosexual, and High School Musical for the one with a Peter Pan syndrome.

I can’t remember how I came across the website for Male Power underwear, but once I was there, everything that came afterward was a blur. So many strange pairs of underpants for men. Butt-less underpants. BVDs with wang hammocks. And that oh-so-special pair for the holidays. So … disturbing. And yet titillating! But in a deeply disturbing titillating way. Check out a few of our favorite freaky guy underpants after the jump. If you can handle it, girlfriend. [Male Power] Keep reading »
Everyone wants to go out for lobster or pasta for a romantic first date, but, oh, dear, the mess your date will make if he’s not careful. And who wants to wear a bib? It’s just so not sexy. Thankfully, we are proud to introduce you to the Napkin Tie, a napkin with a tie on it. This way, your man will look polished while he polishes down that linguini swimming in marinara. It comes in black tie, red stripes, and blue polka dots, and at $4.50, they’re a steal. Well, maybe not a steal. They’re paper napkins after all. But your man will never look like a pig again.

Gillette Mach 3′s highly hirsute elevator reminds me of Parissa wax strip’s hairy backvertising, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. Inside, the elevator doors feature a big ad promoting the Mach 3 razor for the mens, and all the rest of the walls are covered with thick black hair. LIKE ACTUAL HAIR. I mean, I’m sure it’s not real hair, but still, gross. I think the point is that the doors are supposed to be the Mach 3 clean-shaven part, and the rest is not. Anyway, creepy to the max.

We’re a fan of this peek-a-boo menswear from Miss Feeney’s Finery featuring pinup girls hidden in silk ties and fedoras. These ties may look traditional when seen from the front, but flip up the end and you’ll see that there’s a cute retro-honey posing on the silk interior. Guys can select a pattern and a favorite girl, whether they’re going for “Brains over Brawn” or “Style, Squared.” For the cooler months, there’s also a felt fedora, the lining of which features Miss Feeney. The line is designed by Marie Shepard, and Miss Feeney is a tribute to her men’s apparel pioneer grandfather’s secretary of 25 years. “It seems quaint, I know — antiquated — but I think people are ready for a return to proper finery,” Shepard says. “With maybe just a hint of modern sex appeal.” [Miss Feeney's Finery via Gorilla Mask] Keep reading »
Is your new flavor of the week extremely good-looking, complementary at the bar, always well-dressed and open about his emotions? He might seem perfect, but maybe he is just a moodle, a man-poodle.

I’m not going to be shy about this. I’m a big supporter of the idea that men should have man things. Their own style underpants. Their man caves. Their awful brands of beer. In that spirit, I gave two big thumbs up to the blessed arrival of THE ORIGINAL MAN CANDLE. I’m so excited about it, it makes me want to use all-caps all the time. They’re candles! Made for men! They are MANDLES. But what the heck does a man candle smell like? Find out after the jump. Keep reading »
