Ask a Gay Man: Denim Edition

William Sledd has become a hit on YouTube with his Ask A Gay Man videos. In these clips he shares his opinions on a variety of fashion related topics and comes across like a funnier, more likeable version of those camp guys that appear on America's Next Top Model. The most popular edition so far is all about denim and has been viewed more that 700,000 times. In this video William and co-host Stephanie give useful and funny advice on which jeans you should and should not be wearing. Tips for men include:

- Do not wear skinny jeans unless you are in a band
- Do not wear baggy jeans unless you are in a gang
- Do not wear carpenter jeans unless you are a carpenter

More Celeb Denim Crimes

People.com has an amusing feature on celebrity denim crimes that includes jeans which are too long (see Nicole Richie above), too bleached, too ripped, too low or too embroidered. I think my No 1 celeb denim crime would be any pair jeans worn by Tara Reid.

Yahoo Buzz has released a list of the Top 30 most searched for jeans. The list is pretty mainstream, which I guess reflects the demographics of the people that use Yahoo.

Here are the Top 10.

1) Seven Jeans 2) True Religion Jeans 3) Red Monkey Jeans 4) Lee Jeans 5) Lucky Jeans

6) Diesel Jeans 7) Levi's Jeans 8) Evisu Jeans 9) Wrangler Jeans 10) Guess Jeans
