Fairydown Under
‘WHERE do you suppose the average outdoorsy army cross-dresser buys his outfits? Not from Anoraks mail order service, thats for sure. Our rugged gear wouldnt suit those types at all.

| Zone’s new range of boob tubes and hot pants |
Perhaps they shop at Fairydown, the outdoor clothing company that dressed Sir Edmund Hilary on his Everest expedition.
If so, they should be warned that if they ever find themselves in Australia, they should ask for Zone instead for that is the name under which the company now trades in that great land.
The Independent reports that Australian men thought that the name Fairydown had uncomfortable connotations because of the fairy bit. Clearly nobody has told them that Zone sounds like a gay nightclub.
Hugo Venter, the managing director of the company that makes Fairydown clothing, thinks that Aussie men are being ridiculous.
Nonsense. If Australian men, who choose to wear boob tubes and hot pants while playing their Aussie rules, have decided that Fairydown is an insufficiently macho moniker for their red-blooded threads, then who are we to disagree?’
