What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day


What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day

We recently surveyed 300 Mocha Man Style readers about Father’s Day. According to our findings, nearly one-third of dads (32 percent) confessed they’ve had family members who completely forgot about them on Father’s Day. More than half (57 percent of fathers) confessed to receiving a Father’s Day gift they did not like. Some of the worst Father’s Day gifts included a painted rock, a tie with Santa Clauses on it, and a coffee mug for the 4th year in a row. To prevent dads from being disappointed this year, I asked dads to tell me exactly what they want for Father’s Day.

Newsletter Sponsored by Perfumania What Dolly Parton Meant to Us Dolly Parton understood the absurdity of being Dolly Parton. She once entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest and lost. I love that she was always in on the joke. That was part of her genius. But it isn’t why I’m writing about her. What strikes me is how completely Black people claimed her.
