It’s been half a decade. And I can’t seem to stop. I’m finally coming out and saying it. Ready? Naked ankles are my weakness. Folding my pant cuffs, revealing the hairy flesh underneath, is a habit I picked up from GQ. Shameless plug alert. I wrote for GQ. So when I say GQ was my bible you know, I have a biased opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On any typical evening, I’d lay back in my brown bean bag, beer in hand, with an issue of GQ \u2014 scrutinising the flood of ads, semi-nude photography, drool over things I couldn’t afford and study the informative articles and giggle baloney banana over the cheeky columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can trace back to the first time I folded my pant cuffs. I felt liberated, free and sexy. Like the time you pooped, for the first time, without your pants and underwear hanging around your ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, GQ had influenced my style and taste, but one can’t forgive the sultry Indian summers for partly being responsible \u2014 giving “wind in my hair” an entirely new meaning, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To my fellow Canadians, the habit appears a little odd in – 30-degree temperature. I wouldn’t recommend it to the faint hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You keeping your ankles warm?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something I regularly hear from near and dear ones \u2014 who worry about my health and are a bit confused about my sexuality. You know who you are. I love you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey! I don’t see anybody rallying behind Sally. Sally who? She’s a basic bitch, sporting a skirt ten inches above the knees. Are we neighbouring in sexism territory, yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving along now. The fact of the matter is, I don’t mind the attention. Yeah, a whore for all the eyes. So what? I catch girls (even men, sheesh!) staring down my pants all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I know what it’s like to have a revealing pair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
