I rang my local radio station this morning to guess a word for a competition i was convinced i had the answer but hadn't could someone try and help me guess.

It's a man taking and this is what he says.......... I often go to a rockabilly type hairdressers it's more for the ____________ type fella

the clues are - this type of men wears skinny jeans and can be vain, this thing is often seen on the catwalk, its all around us ???

the guesses have been rockstar, model, famous, feminine and mine today was scene all wrong any guesses?

Dunno Squiggle but Machel and Garage Joe are good at this sort of thing.

I would hazard a guess that the last bit of the word is air or hair

the bit about it being on the catwalk and all around us is confusing me

Not sure what that's got to do with a catwalk, but it ends in air.

thanks guys oh yes air is a good one as its all around but has to be on the catwalk and the type to wear skinny jeans and be vain

someone guessed fashionistaire not right im baffled as well

Urban dictionary says that skinny jeans are worn by:

indie/emo/scene/skater/punk boys

Sure that doesn't help much (sorry) but I reckon that the clues are to different syllables (sp) of the word rather than the whole

Aren't vain Italian men known as Dolce Vitas? Perhaps they favour skinny jeans - I don't know?

An article I found

La Dolce Vita and La Mamma

By: Jules Ritter (View Profile)

It is a well known fact that Italian men appreciate women. In Rome recently with my mother (seventy-two years) and my two eldest children I noticed that “la mamma” (mine) was given as much attention as my fourteen year old budding nubile daughter. This is the country after all that puts seventy year olds—albeit Sophia Loren—on nudie calendars.

Our three-generational trip to Italy was a great success not only because of the usual things such as good food and damned good historical bits but because this is a country which appreciates the elderly. Used to the anonymity of ageist Britain, my mother turns into the compliant mother/grandmother figure we have always wished for on hitting Italian soil. Believe me, la dolce vita warms even the most cantankerous of souls.

The Italian man demonstrates his chivalry in many ways: By holding chairs for my mother; handing her the menu first and repeatedly asking me, much to the hilarity of my children, if she is “la sorella?” (my sister?) or at least pretending to think she is. She in turn basks in the sudden attention. “Most flattering,” she remarked over a cappuccino in the Piazza Navona, “even if they are a trifle over-groomed.” My son started to ask his grandmother to elaborate but I silenced him with a look that threatened pocket money withdrawal and grounding not to mention lynching and emasculation if he even muttered the words Pirelli Calendar.

Maybe something to do with skin? It's all around us and we see lots on the catwalk....not sure how it would fit with the first clue though.
