Designed to smooth and slenderize the waistline, the Mirdle is the latest craze hitting Australian department stores and men love the shape they can achieve with the Mirdle, which is reflected in the under garment sales.

This new trend doesn’t really surprise me!  With the “Metro Man” now the norm in modern society – isn’t this just an extension of their needs?

The Metro Man is defined by their security in their sexuality, sensitivity, intuition and penchant for grooming. Their interest in style and fashion (and figure flattering underwear) doesn’t make them feel any less masculine or any less heterosexual.

We have a variety of different type of personalities in the Australian Springfree™ Trampoline office so I was interested to see if any of the men here would wear the Mirdle?

Justin Sales Consultant aged 24

“I would wear it!  If it took 5 years of your gut who wouldn’t?”

Paul – Spare Parts and Warranty late 30′s

“Yeah I would definitely wear it!  What a great idea.

Aaron – Warehouse assistant early 30′s

“No, No, No…. Not this week anyway but things could change.”

Jason – Sales Consultant Sydney Late 20′s

“No – I might if I was bigger”

So there you have it!  The Metro Man gets stronger everyday…

What do you think about the Mirdle? Or better yet are you wearing one now?

 I’ve joked a little that I’ve been to some pretty dangerous spots, Caracas and Los Llanos in Venezula, Nairobi  in Kenya… etc.

 My mother is fortunately a good sport, and didn’t give me too much grief at the time, but talking recently I realised how worried she really was. And with good cause.

 After hearing exhalations of ‘you went where??!!’… I had a hunt of the world’s most dangerous cities. Guess what, Caracas has arguably the highest danger rating in the world. 

 Then there was a recent travel story in the Sydney Morning Herald (a big paper over here in Australia) listing the top ten places you’re likely to be pick pocketed.

 Shock horror – I’ve been to 8 out of the top 10. And the only reason I haven’t been to all 10 is I ran out of time to visit Madrid (which I’d paid for) and Buenos Aires which was on my original ticket, but I had to change as I couldn’t fit it in.

1. Barcelona, Spain

2. Rome, Italy

3. Prague, Czech Republic

4. Madrid, Spain

5. Paris, France

6. Florence, Italy

7. Buenos Aires, Argentina

8. Amsterdam, Netherlands.

9. Athens, Greece

10. Hanoi, Vietnam

 I’m 26, and independent, but I travelled overseas first time alone at 16. Not being a mother myself, but seeing how happy my mum is to have me back in one piece, how do you feel about your kids travelling? Or having little ones, and knowing one day they will?
