why are this man's lips purple?

scatter o' light filling in with a guest post for mr. extrawack.

we are veering out of our usual realm to ask the extraordinary extrawack intelligentsia about a topic that befuddles every member of my household endlessly. the question revolves around the mouth of a certain new york yankee third baseman. and that question is this:

"WHY IN THE HELL ARE A-ROD'S LIPS PURPLE?"

while this question has long intrigued us, it is only today upon hearing that a-rod has thrown down a "love me or i'm leaving" challenge to all of new york that our need to understand how alex rodriguez's lips became so lavender just demanded to be answered.

WHO CAN HELP ME?

this is not a joke! we really need to know: "why are a-rod's lips purple?" is it lip gloss? does he have poor circulation? was he (dear god!) born this way?

whoever leaves the best answer in the comment section wins a prize. (the prize is this).
