In times when I give a hearing to open the TV channel X, I was surprised by a story that would not have imagined that happen: the dogs blood donors. In my ignorance never imagined that man's best friend also needed blood donations and that there were criteria for the animal could donate blood and that the blood bank of a pet is tiny with few reservations. Very cool the initiative to disseminate this to those who, like me, we have a kind of pet you have and, therefore, we are somewhat alien beings that need to ... But take this news that I drew attention to remember that the "Possible owners" of animals need blood, the blood bank for many hemocenter is also need for blood and that blood and often can save lives. We metrossexuais, we must not only show that we care about our personal care, we also care about the lives of others. So, so here are some explanations that thought for those who want to apply to donate blood:
What you need to donate:
Be in good health
Bring official identity document with a photograph
Have between 18 and 65 years 11 months and 29 days
Weigh 50 kg or more
Do not be fast, but with no fat diet
Have fallen asleep at least 6 hours before donation
Not have ingested alcoholic beverages in the 12 hours prior to donation
Come on, dear readers (and readers), any metrossexual meets these requirements. There are still some restrictions that prevent the donation:
Temporary impediments
Fever or flu
Pregnancy
90 days after normal delivery and 180 days after cesarean
Tattooing and acupuncture in the past 12 months
Exposure to the situation of risk for AIDS (multiple sexual partners, have partners of drug users)
Item 2 and 3 of this section, we are free, right? I know that the belief and / or religion for some there may be some restriction in relation to the donation, values that respect ... but I think it is necessary to emphasize that someday we can be that we need a donation. Finally, you must also remember that:
Donating Blood: Emagrece fattening or not ... ... Not relay or thickens the blood Vicia not ...
The donated blood is quickly replaced by the body! Who is interested, it is worth taking a look at the site http://www.prosangue.sp.gov.br
Was reading the magazine You / SA meeting when a matter beard and professional image, I am interested because I always wore beard, well trimmed and carefully, but in recent weeks left and she grew very, Working in the area of communication and formality is not style of these people, is not common to see an advertising suits, combed hair and beard made, as a lawyer, an economist found the hill, but I know that a beard can create a negative image, a bearded man can even pass seriousness, maturity, but also may appear lazy, masked, depends on how this beard ...
I agree with the vision of Ilana:
One of the most frequently asked questions asked by men is about the beard: it undertakes or not your professional image?
A survey conducted by the Institute of Psychology at the University of Sao Paulo with HR managers on the perception of men who were with or without a beard noted that these professionals have definitely preferred candidate without a beard or goatee beard with others in the selection of officials.
The beard is consistently associated with non-conformist personalities. Thus, tends to be more accepted in more creative areas such as arts, advertising, and also in academia, where a mature appearance is desired. However, it is not well seen in the most conservative and formal.
That same survey found that the higher the office, plus the face completely clean, even without whiskers, is also a favorite.
On a subjective level, the beard can also be seen as a way to cover up or mask their facial expressions. Because it hides much of his face, unconsciously others may think you want to hide something else. Thus, to achieve convey confidence, you may have to make efforts to double.
Moreover, there is always the danger of it being a network for remnants of food. You would not want that to happen to you at that lunch meeting decisive, does not it?
In this review to see who is the president that reflects more our style metrossexual, presenting two figures well known in the world, in fact, the whole world is looking at both. Before talking about who is and who is the other we need to see the context in which they are; this because, when compared with Evo Morales, he has much advantage over the brand of clothes and other care that someone may have to be an authentic Metrossexual. Ah, here it is worth highlighting continued believing that and be metrossexual is listed as a matter of a culture. Let us therefore to our two figures and their context ...
A few years ago we see the fragility of the countries that claim to be a powerful is more visible. This is the case in the United States where the vulnerability of the country of Uncle Sam was very clear after the attacks of Sept. 11. This is nothing new "decadence of power," there have been other moments in history, in which the facts were different. But, other than a post-war chaos, this historic moment is very special not only for Americans, the whole world too, the election of a successor to Bush is the target of looks tired and frustrated by recent losses within the economy . And we, in this scenario, we have two pictures (possible metrossexuais) Obama and Mc Cain, totally opposite, with ideals and views also differ, compassados and with different intentions of votes (second search) quite different. I think they have, but what of a Metrossexual. Let's hear a little of each.
Mr Barack Hussein Obama Jr, with its nearly 50 years of age, has an entire eminent political career, not to rely on his graduation from Columbia University in New York, was as brilliant as her Ph.D. at Harvard. Standing out for his ability and intelligence, showed that since the days when it was student, Obama became the director of the Harvard Law Journal, alias the first black director of the magazine. Later taught in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, where he stayed for a few years and then starts his political career. It is elected senator in 1996 and in 2005 it is counted as the fifth senator african downward and the third elected by popular vote.
Obama, not only speak well knows, he has a favorite sport: the basketball. Indeed a visit to Iraq that if he even risked playing with the soldiers there.
He tries to pass the "image" of good-boy, husband of model, for example, before you start your application has an advertising campaign to stop smoking. To please Greeks and Trojans, in a book, The audacity of hope, that account was not a very religious establishment, although his mother occasionally participate in religious Methodists and Baptists. Already by the paternal side Democratic challenger confirms that the father was established in the Islamic faith, but Obama is said atheist ...
It is not hard to see that he is the bet of many media, for various reasons, one is supposed to "break" from American bias, the promise that it can be a world leader in a time of crisis.
The appearance of Obama is very discreet, in fact, I think he is very discreet. Of course, it needs to pass this simplicity "basic" for the people ... simplicity that reflects the self-confidence of a man who may be the light at the end of the tunnel.
Someone mentioned that there would be other (read: demaifs) a black president in the United States, but my criticism goes to a possible bias before that sentence: if it is blue, yellow, pink, which is less important, the that matter, really, are we facing a bright student might be a good president regardless of race or belief. "Other" will be when the world wake up without the stock exchanges in work pace hysterical, that economic pressure which means that many heads of household (whether men and / or women) lose their jobs and bring in consequence, a lot misfortune for their beings dears.
On the other side we have John Sidney McCain III, the Republican, with a considerable age well, which had with background, throughout his life, the career military. It was retired from the armed forces, with the degree of master in 1981. The following year enter into politics in 1986 and begins to form part of the American Senate.
In the Republican candidate we see a brilliant career of studies, we see, yes, a prototype of a nationalist hero, the American figure who tirelessly fight to maintain its role as global sheriff (which, incidentally, I do not know they gave this paper). From this is that Mel Gibson could make a movie with liters and liters (and more liters) of blood: he was a prisoner of war and not sold to torture, returned triumphant, with the pride of a patriot who defended their land.
Mc Cain tried to pre-election candidate in 2000, but Bush received more votes. So, this year he at last managed to elect whether to contest the high office of the White House. The candidate appears as a tough-man line, for example, is a strong foe of tobacco, also fought for legislation to tighten the accounts of political campaigns. For topics "sensitive" as the legalization of immigrants and gay marriage he does not have a defined position ... They say the bad language he has a bad mood and if it joined with the choice of Sarah Palin for governor of Alaska as his vice, can "get evil" (which, incidentally, agree, it is as if the Brazilian candidate for president chose to Gretchen with his vice - which, thanks to the wisdom of some voters not won the elections in Itamaracá, PE) and for a "presidential ", Which now needs all the Machiavellian skills to manage this crisis, does not inspire much confidence ... Or do you agree? For President of the Republic of the vote in JS PBS (Party of the Ass silicone) and vice Gretchen ... cool, huh ? Now we just miss the Clodovil exchange for a women's Watermelon, Strawberry ...
Yeah, my friends readers, as I said, this election matters not only to Americans, it is important to the whole world. It is important to know who will fix the woes that the other left. Who will (hopefully) put an end to the endless wars that destroy cities only, leaving the poorest countries, pursuing ideologies - which in other times supported - and countless mistakes in the world ... I think the new president could put in the famous phrase an adverb of American statement:
God bless, REALLY, America ...

Yeah, my dear readers, when I started to write for the site to my question is if metrossexual it is also a matter of culture or not. Many times doubted the answer, but looking at the world, and especially to our reality in Latin America, find that it is rather a question of culture. You doubt? So here we go. Help me to choose the president more metrossexual to begin presenting two figures highlighted the "world" of South America.
First he, the king (not only in Venezuela) of gafes. Which uses a military uniform, which when present in front of the cameras just talking stick, so that even the King Juan Carlos told him shut up. Sure, we're talking about one that also had close to the TV station that contrary to political ends. From this it sells oil to the devil (opsss nothing to do with religion, he called Bush the devil). This control (read: discontinued) exports of cars from Brazil to Venezuela, bringing more trouble to the economy, and as he has many "companions" nobody say anything. It is, were the keys before, that dirty boy who lives in a barrel. The lives of those who speak of barrels of oil it sells.
And these times you must think that I was crazy, he is not a metrossexual ... No, of course it is. All right that these clothes are more ridiculous that uses a figure semiotics to reassert itself, sometimes risking a suit half-mouth ... but agree, compare the "commander" of Venezuela with any individual country.
Now compare the luxuries that the trustee has with anybody, any citizen:
Did you see the difference in who preaches an end to poverty, "freedom" and the Equal ... Imagine if he were a dictator. Not us, we believe we are the bad to a guy who wants to be 200 years governing a country imposing laws and absurd (to increase the half-hour time difference).
And there, you agree that it can be a metrossexual?
Our second candidate is not very different from the profile of the first, indeed, if there was a school would say that he is the "favorite student" of the teacher (and not necessarily to be the best - in this case for being the worst) ... I talk about this president which is said to be an Indian, which is the first Indian to come to power (as "not applicable). On the one who wants to leave Brazil without gas, and it also has many "companions" nobody can talk anything. Our dear Evo Morales, no relation to Eva Perón, please. Morales, chavismo's son also wants to govern ad Aeternum, fight with all and the most curious, which is very likely that our friends philosophers drunks in responding, always appears with such colorful clothes with apliques, I think that his mother is sewing for the child does not become cold. He took care of that Petrobras, which expelled him for many Brazilians there, he is not there or for their people who emigrate to the neighborhoods most decadent of Sao Paulo, selling their labor-the price of slavery.
It is our neighbor, always neat, with that haircut: I did not want to pay for the hairdresser and my sister, who is doing a course on the corner, made his first cut.
And now I will not say it is not metrossexual? No? And just look at any of the Brás, or we go to Bolivia, which, the airport is well ruinzinho. And see how people live and is, and now, look to your majesty Bolivian.
Not very different?
Look, my vote would be for the Evo because he can that his people are in the worst miseries and he did not. Thousands of Bolivians because the suffering and struggle are killed every day and Mr Morales worried about that applied in colorful clothes. They say the bad language that began when he was elected a hoax saying that those who spoke was the King of Spain and he with all his culture believed (and omega, a bit limited, huh?) ...
The problem, friends, is that many countries, our neighbors, has an agent who cares about their image, with its "progress", to take account of what it is not them, with dreaming to change the world (at a price well high) and his people? Nothing. And with the true freedom? Nothing?
I do not consider, for the post of the conservative right, quite the opposite, but I think that old phrase that "power corrupts" becomes reality in this agent (and others around) out there who say the people and that when they arrive by the power, only want to enrich themselves.
In the most recent news, one caught my attention, and was not precisely that world economic chaos, that is a matter of a study done between people in old age, a poll shows that the increase of HIV among them. Surprising? No!. He spent the time in which our grandfathers front of the television should be doing a scarf for the Netinho, because until now, the programs of television each day are more open and bizarre erotic ... and with so much eroticism to our grandparents could stand to "give a" (they're also the end of the flesh !!!). It is difficult for many to imagine that our "velinhos" are leaving the temples to pray and go to the temples of pleasure (given to understand?). That, according to the study, is due to the use of that blue pill that promises to raise even the most fallen, without miracles.
Sex between people of the so-called third age is normal, alias, I am all in favor, find great if my grandmother would tell me that I recommended that motel room, one she knew to go out with a gentleman after being submitted by a friend. But the problem is not in my granny go to the motel with an almost unknown, but the use of condoms. I remember that in some conversations with students taken from older listened than (stupor!) The use of condoms was only for "deer", due to promiscuity, stigma totally wrong, and that was the macho thing to eat natural . Unfortunately this mentality has meant that the virus spreads among people in the best age.
What this has to do with us? Well, it is my dear readers, campaigns and campaigns for the use of condoms are made, free distribution, advances in technology of latex and still there are those who do not use by prejudice. You can see some vovôs I believe Metrossexuais, namely that you care, but take care not only refers to the appearance, comes to health, in general. And why my reflection of this post is to understand a little the head of our ancestors and that encourage the use of condoms, if they are taking some kind of sexual relationship with anyone. And if you hear this bullshit that "guy said we should not use condoms" such faith prohibits the use, "my answer would be: why not, prior to prohibit the use of condoms prohibit the use of children in its lower sexual acts ? Or what is sinful: Use a condom or deceive the people to enrich themselves at the expense of naive people. " There is a precept (invented) that should only have sex after marriage or to procreate us (for pleasure or thought), just remember a famous jogardor who said he was going to marry a virgin, beast!. This precept is hyper-mega-outdated ... so outdated that not even the religious institutions are capable of achieving it.
So, my good friends, hopefully we get the best age-head with a good, caring and loving us our lives. With sex, yes, and with good protection. And that we help our ancestors to make use of this item so cheap and so good.
The sex is no more old-fashioned, but the modern fashion.
One of our friends is inseparable deodorant, moreover, should be inseparable from the friend of all, especially in tropical country like this, and I further, days ago is celebrated on the orgasm, it set up on the deodorant, for the metrossexuais not? I, I was blessed with height of 1.67, when I walk on the subway, there by 18h00min (it is true that until that time the validity of many deodorants already expired) enter the wagon and just have at my side all unless it has 1, 80, height, enough to feel a smell of acqua, yes, my friends, a smell of water and not just the waters of Paris, but closer to the smell of the waters of the Tiete River.
The history of deodorant is quite interesting. There is no accurate when it was used for the deodorant, book "The things our of every day" by Charles Panati mind that the ancient Egyptians recommended a bath scents and, after an application of perfumed oils in the armpits. They drew up some special products based on the lemon mixture a little cinnamon not to be a smell so sour, remember that the subtropical climate of the region secaria the lemon juice in the armpit and that it would irritate the skin and if that did not contain the bad smell (in fact, since our topic was how to write a word correctly opportunity to say that it is correct to say and not stink smell MAL). The book also counts an experience that the Egyptians have done to reduce the bad smell of armpits: take the hair-a sort of hair removal. Recent studies show that the hair grows the region where the bacteria are proliferating in his short life and die, they decompose, thus contributing to the production of odors. With the arrival of the Romans to Egypt and trade with the Greeks, these ideas were to be broadcast and improving itself until the present day. Today we have the most diverse deodorants, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, so cute fur, clear, black, for allergies, for those who wear dark clothes, for those who do not support perfumes, for those concerned about the ecology there are than to attack the ozone layer and so on the list ... In the face of all this variety is that I wonder: if there is deodorant for all "pockets", colors and flavors (and odors why not), why not use it?
Since my business is dealing with cultural affairs, I can only write about the date you celebrate this week: remember the day on September 11, 2001. This day in history, comes with a series of events that marked the world in different ways. As an example of a fact at this time we can remember the day on September 11, 1973, date on which Pinochet gave as famous military coup that overthrew Allende, in Chile there. 28 years later, and in full century of modernity, with all digital technologies, follow another event would mark the modern world. The USA showed how much can be vulnerable to an organization whose fundamentalist ideology did not respect human life. In discussions on this subject with my students, many argue that Americans should get a lesson for all you have done wrong. But my question is: what price this lesson? The death of many innocent people? Who will believe that their souls to paradise if they act according to their faith and explode their bodies to fight the "infidels" were not all people who were on the plane that exploded with the twin towers and not those that started a "normal day" at work .
The American movie exploited this fact in every way possible and in many of the times, showing us how they are "coitadinhos" in history. Other, more fantasy, invented thousands of versions of the facts, even aliens appeared in the story ... I do not know if this is true, but what is true is that this historical fact should not and can not be forgotten, as well as the holocaust and so many other crimes against humanity, against innocent beings.
Dear friends readers, I think it costs nothing to raise the banner of peace and try to fight for a better world, for an authentic American, model of humanity, understanding and tolerance, that this sad episode of September 11, although " means that repeated "six months later, in Spain, does not happen again and that innocent beings do not die more: Good Bless America
Some people asked us what is the correct spelling of this term. Okay, not wanting to make the job of Professor Pasquale, the correct way to write that term is two SS, METROSSEXUAL. And now many of you, dear readers, should be saying that this is obvious and that no one writes like that. Not quite, what we see in practice, simply take a look at Orkut communities that refer to this end and do a search on Google and our good friend write a metrosexual with "S" to see the number of results that can be seen.
According to the grammar of Napoleon Mendes de Almeida, the words can be manifested through the composition, the meaning of the word is amended by key words or particles that it antepõem. And this would be the case with METRO SEXUAL +, and in Portuguese, as a matter of phonetics (how to decide) that gets a second term "S" not to be pronounced like a "Z". So, we combine, no one writes heterosexual, Dissemination, homosexual and heterosexual yes, dissemination, homosexual. The rule is quite easy, huh?
Last night, Sunday, was killing time watching one of these programs on Sunday, sometimes boring middle, sometimes a little interesting. And that is what my eyes and my ears pick? An indication of METROSSEXUAL which has roots outside the land of carnival, and is the plastic surgery of the eyelids which is better known as the Westernization of surgery.
As my business here, on this blog, dear reader, is to bring a bit of culture (!!!) we will then talk metrossexualidade this expression of our colleagues in Eastern, which also have the right to care.
There is some speculation that the oriental eyes have "pulled", the most common states that this trait is due to geographical and climatic factors, the sun, birth, spreads its rays into horizontal lines so that the inhabitants of certain regions develop a "protection for the eyes"
It is not for nothing that in the course of centuries this part of the world was called "East" which in its etymology, derived from Latin, is a term that unfolds in oriens and entis, to form the word we know today: East. And that can be understood as part of the sky where the sun rises, or as a participle of the verb oriori, eris, ortus sum, oriri (in Latin) that means birth and who can adapt to living beings and the planets.
So, my admiration (cool!) Is due to the fact that a group of people decided to westernize doing this type of surgery, because they do not live more in the land of the rising sun. And I was most pleased to learn that many of the people seeking this surgery are men. A site describes what is the percentage of origin of customers and that is reflected in the following data: 98.45% of customers who sought such surgery were descendants of Japanese, were descendants of 1.24% and 0.31% Koreans were descendants of Chinese.
The definition of that surgery can be found at any site of some of these sites plastic surgery specialist to define with a plastic surgery performed in the upper eyelids of Oriental and children with the aim of forming a dobrinha (eyelid sulcus) in a region that is characteristic of western and that for anatomical reasons inherent in the race does not exist or is very subtle in the east.
This surgery, like many things in the world, has been improved and a surgery that was very uncomfortable and whose recovery was painful now has a technique without surgical incision using the technique of "two points" which is so much faster and without pain.
Cool, huh? So, does any Metrossexual here is offering to do a surgery to orientalização?

Errata: I thank the comments received and especially the correction made by our reader Mark H. thus, worth highlighting here that old saying: err is human, to forgive, divine and care was Until ... metrossexual is to be soon.
Throughout the history of mankind the male figure always had a very prominent role. We came from a highly sexist thinking and theories confirmed by the Jewish-Christian beliefs and that women have to be deployed in many moments have always been blurred by so called "sex-strong". This "sex" which states that any demonstration that evacuate the social conventions established by them, by good "macho", is considered a diversion and at worst a viadagem. Raising the flag of the transgression of these agreements is macho, more thanks to this media and new technologies, a style of men, the "strong sex", as affirmed in essence, what is different from the "standards" set by society: the METROSSEXUAL .
Como bom lingüista, não posso deixar de mostrar minha admiração por haver consultado dois dos mais importantes dicionários no Brasil (omito os nomes para não levar nenhum tipo de processo legal) e em nenhum deles haver encontrado o termo antes citado. Um termo que de fato se compõe de dois léxicos, sendo um deles um prefixo, com a acepção de antepositivo de origem grego, METRO , eo outro um adjetivo que se remete ao gênero e/ou sexual, SEXUAL . Acredito que a afirmação de Bakhtin neste momento se faz necessária para entendermos o porquê da importância de adotar um termo atual nos nossos dicionários: “ a língua vive e evolui historicamente na comunicação verbal concreta, não no sistema lingüístico abstrato das formas da língua nem no psiquismo individual dos falantes “. O coletivo social impôs uma serie de comportamentos que cunharam a definição HETEROSEXUAL. Todo mundo entende a acepção deste léxico. Mas, ao ouvirem falar em METROSSEXUAL todos pensam numa acepção errada; clamo por Bakhtin novamente que afirma que a linguagem é de natureza sócio-ideológica e por isso tudo “o que é ideológico possui um significado e remete a algo situado fora de si mesmo”… pois é, caros METROSSEXUAIS não se sintam um gueto marginalizado pelas acepções sociais machistas… Bakhtin veio salvá-los com suas afirmações, basta pensar um pouco nas duas citadas. Heterossexuais? Tenho algumas perguntas: Quem foi o homem que inventou o salto? Quem usava maquiagem nos séculos XVII e XVIII? Só os Homens ou também as mulheres? A cultura grega cultuava mais o corpo masculino ou feminino? Por que nas olimpíadas os competidores (só Homens ) participavam nus? Que “macho” nesta vida desprezaria um bom perfume francês? Do ponto de vista técnico, o que pode ser considerado mais viadagem? Ficar delirando ao verem 22 homens correndo atrás de uma bola, ou uma série de cuidados para ficar mais, mais, como posso dizer “apresentável”?
Respostas??? Ainda aceito outras sugestões…
Retomando a parte formal de nosso assunto, amostras de METROSSEXUALIDADE podem ser encontradas em diversos momentos da história. O que mudou foi a fluência na troca de informações, que fez com que os amantes do culto à beleza e ao corpo, ficassem mais evidentes e cada vez houvesse mais adeptos.
E é, dentro deste fluxo veloz de informações, que o Gustavo, mantenedor deste blog, tenta reunir os adeptos e simpatizantes a este tipo de culto… que convenhamos, é bem melhor se auto-cultuar do que participar de muitas igrejas por ai que cultuam Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson e afines. Aproveitem-no!!!
E torçamos porque em breve a Real Academia de Letras Brasileira, dicionarize esse termo. Mostrando que nestas terras de Santa Cruz, não existe, de fato, discriminação alguma.
