The Return of the Gentlemen

  Back on the 28th of January, I blogged about the "Pretty Girls Rock Dresses" Challenge that kicks off on March 1st. I am still super excited about this campaign and I was even more thrilled to discover that there was an equal challenge for the men titled, "The Year of the Gentlemen - Return of the Gentlemen".

The guidelines are similar to those of the ladies challenge; for the men to commit to dressing up at least 3 times a week, polished shoes, sports coats, proper grooming and no athletic gear and saggin pants! Beyond this, the fellas commit to bringing back the art of chivalry, courtship, class, and savoir-faire. This challenge is about more than just dressing the part, but rekindling the true nature of manhood: honor, leadership, responsibility, and respect, many qualities that do seem to be lacking in an overwhelming sector of men (or should I say man-sized boys) these days.

There is a facebook group and facebook event page dedicated to the challenge and membership is open to everyone, including ladies who would like to show their support, and gratitude, for what hopefully will emerge as new, refined, breed of gentlemen that will stand up tall and be the role models we have all been seeking for our sons, and the gentleman we can trust with the hand, and hearts of our daughters.
