Greetings!

Welcome . . .

Chewin' the Fat is a publication from The Complete Bear designed for the bear community. It is published on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.

Chewin' the Fat will offer up the best of the bear lifestyle - casual, cool, or woofy. Whatever it takes to complete the bear.

For the bear, his cub and their den . . .

 Beefy Men and Leather Speedos
 Yes - like every good gay man on the planet, I went to see 300.

SF Movie Bears went to see 300 on IMAX. First of all, you gotta love it when a whole bunch of bears invade any public space. WOOF!! "OMG - Honey, I got cruised at the movies . . ." And in the food court, and at the ATM, and . . . well, you get the point.

So what's not to love about mostly naked brawny men in leather (and a few harnesses and chainmail for variety)? Oh, that annoying spurting blood thing? It doesn't seem to lessen the glisten on the hero's mighty abs. And the hero has come a long way. Let's not forget this is the same guy that played Phantom. Yep, look it up. Show tunes and abs, is there anything this man can't do?

I guess as a bear, I only have 2 complaints - 300 glistening chests with six pack abs, but not a single hair. When in the world did they find time to wax? "The enemy is approaching? Damn, I haven't finished shaving." And, why was Xerxes - you know the bad guy threatening to destroy the Spartans and make their women and children slaves - a 12 foot tall drag queen?

 Rugged Style
 

The Complete Bear remembers an age when masculine style was cultivated in all aspects of life. A time when a shave included a hot towel and warm shaving cream. A time when a man could smoke a quality cigar and enjoy an aged scotch. A time when a merchant knew your name and your neck size.

We remember that time. We hope to offer helpful tips and guidelines to enhance your rugged style.

What's the right way to groom a beard? Tucked or not? Too much fur? What do you wear under a kilt? Cigars - does size matter? Rugged Style hopes to provide answers to these and to other tough questions.

Our readers share with us little known tips to enhance their masculine style. Got a tip? Send it to Rugged Style. If we use it - we'll send you a t-shirt.
