A new TV program on NHK called Kawaii TV promises to feature all things "cute" for the discriminating fashionista. But "Gal's" aren't the only ones being targeted, Metrosexuals are also being encouraged to tune in. Today's show featured the growing trend of men wearing "silhouette enhancing" women's clothing, such as skinny jeans, blouses and healed boots- they are even applying light make-up. Taking things even further is the Visual Host style combining heavy metal costuming and make-up with host club coolness. Host clubs are places women go to be fawned over by handsome professional hosts- and the women pay for the service, often racking up liqueur bills in the thousands of dollars, "why don't you treat us all to a bottle of Dom Perignon?" (At least they can be sure the guys are actually listening to them.) However, as was featured on Kawaii TV, this style is seeping out of the host clubs and into the streets. The stylists took a normal looking guy and gave him the full treatment. Afterwards they invited his girlfriend on to comment. Surprisingly she was really into it and couldn't wait to show him off to her friends.
