Now I see where you're headed.  Hm.  You're right, it is tough.  I'm 
getting mystic hermaphrodite vibes, but that's not quite right.

Gay men teaching a straight man how to win over straight women?  There's 
some paradox mojo.  And why do they always run to and from their 
queermobile?

Maybe there's some old-school Hermes/Mercury action going on. 
(Messengers of fashion, speeding from one recipient to the next....  I 
imagine the answer is "no", but do any of them wear Nikes?)

This is all blindingly obvious to someone on the list....
