Same here! Looking forward to this event :)

The 'manly' joking unfortunately runs a little too close to the real-life phenomenon of people in the most fortunate groups complaining whenever anyone else gets a special day or event. I know that's not the case in Eorzea where men are second class citizens when it comes to glamour and people are just kidding around, but I can see it raising a few eyebrows nonetheless.
Japan traditionally has a 'Little Gentlemans Day' equivalent too but it's a bit close to Easter so I guess Eorzea skips it for that reason. The kabuto we get at the new year are a nice unisex-but-masculine touch and they're (apparently) giving us equal opportunity glamour with Little Ladies Day so I have no complaints.
Sandal with Sock ! Yay !
A joke is a joke, and anyone who would raise an eyebrow at something clearly intended facetiously should probably grow a sense of humor if they intend to spend much time on the internet.
I should also point out that female CHARACTERS getting the majority of glamours in this game, especially cute and/or sexy ones, directly benefits 'the most fortunate group', i.e, male PLAYERS, while a lot, if not the majority of the people complaining are actually female players playing male characters, so men getting less glamours does, in fact, hurt the 'unfortunate minority'. Not that that ought to matter, since the goal should be everyone getting the same amount of stuff and being happy IN THIS GAME, not tit-for-tat arguing that mommy gave you more ice cream last time(real world stuff), so it's okay if I get more this time (in the game) even if you feel bad about it.
As a Roegadyn, I fear this new outfit might not flatter me and quickly end up in the Armoire.
Oh man, that male outfit will look great! Can't wait to see it in game.
Nice. :) The male's outfit looks looks pretty good, especially if it's dyable.
I wonder if we'll get access again to the stuff from last year's event. I somehow missed it last year (well, missed when it was ending and didn't get to it in time) and have been disappointed ever since about not getting the nice housing stuff. (Can't tell whether last year's felt mat being in the image for showing off the outfits suggests it'll be available again, or is just there because the outfit models needed to be somewhere.)
