Man cleavage...in definitely in...

Man cleavage. Heavage. Heard of it? It's been around for a while, the gay community are definitely champions of it and it's creeping into straight man land too....whatever you call it and no matter where you look, the men of this city are certainly daring to bare now that the sun is finally out.
It is virtually impossible to leave your house in Sydney at the moment and not see a whole lot of naked chest, thanks to many a man wearing a plunging neckline. And I’m not talking about the standard v-neck here, or even the type of more risqué v-neck John Travolta sported in Saturday Night Fever. I mean those necklines so deep, that, if worn by a female, would require hollywood tape or at least a good defence against an indecency charge. I’m not sure what started this trend, or when it will end, but it has certainly taken hold, and from Monday to Friday, dusk til dawn, there is a large contingent of often hairy chests on view around town.
What I find most interesting about this trend is the absolute blatancy of it. While most of what is written about heavage indicates a “subtle” showing off of the chest area, there ain’t nothin’ subtle about what I’m seeing on the streets of Sydney! And although you’d also think this look was designed for those with designer décolletage, and even well worked pecs based on how low this fashion goes, it doesn’t appear to be the case. I’m seeing pale, neglected chests everywhere I look.
We can only hope that when the colder weather hits, it also kick starts a mass health kick across the city so if we are required to see how much chest hair this city’s male residents have, at least it will be on well formed torsos. Apparently skin is in!
