SICK OF THE CURRENT MALE BEAUTY STANDARDS

    I was earlier catching up with popular gay news blog Towleroad when I saw a post about this guy who apparently is an important football player. I was refreshed and delighted to see the spotlight on a healthy young man and not your average steroids junkie with ridiculous muscles, bulging veins and scary six-packs.

    Then I read the comments and, to my (not big) surprise, I spotted some like these:

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! His body is nasty!!!!!"

"This guy is not hot, and his body is shit."

"Yuck, can't get into the GOP beefcake dudes, or in this case cake, since, I don't see any beef on this kid. More Tom Brady posts please, or tennis player, thanks :)."

"Sure, he's cute in a normal, straight guy kind of way, but he is NOT an underwear model. Sorry but underwear models are supposed to look like gym trawling body facists! It's called being a model. Models are supposed to represent the ideal. Like the David, classical Greek sculpture, yadda yadda yadda. And can we please quit the obsession with the straight guys already. It's nauseating. Give us some hot, gay boys and leave the straight ones alone. You never know what they're going to do."

"ZOMG He's like SOO hideous! I only find perfect people slighty attractive cause, ya know, Im a godly judemental queen."

etc. etc. And well, there were many that I'd agree with:

"You people saying "Ewww" are fucking crazy. This guy is hot, he's a sports hero, he's handsome and he has a body honed by actual athletic accomplishment, not narcissistic gym trawling.
I dunno, I love looking at hot guys like everyone else, but this is getting stupid. The obsession with being totally cut -- which is unsustainable except for only the most obsessed -- is ruining sex."

"I think he is cute. It's nice to see a normal body instead of some guy who spends most of his life living in a gym. I suppose all the magazines has made us expect 6 and 8-packs as the norm now. Me, I like the natural look. Would rather have a normal looking guy than a gym-bunny any day!"

   I've been thinking about writing this post for days and this thing just gave me the final push to do it. We alway hear about how wrong the female beauty standards are, with girls expected to be super skinny with big boobs, etc. but we don't seem to notice that male ideals, if not on the same degree, are also awfully wrong. At first thought you may say that the male ideal is a sportsman and that's a good thing, but the models we see and worship are beyond the sportsman, they're 20 and looking all buff like they're gonna explode. It's not healthy! Don't let them fool you, they are taking stuff to get that big that fast, that's not natural and I'm sick of everyone dismaying over body builders with alien six-packs, in fashion and everywhere else.
    You just have to look at any Men's Health cover. Are those men examples of a healthy men? I think they're repulsive! But apparently that's what's "hot" these days.

    Now, I want you to look at this video:

SAD!

    Oh and what about body hair? Apparently hair is nasty so men have to wax, shave and laser themselves to get rid of any hair even in their armpits. And yes, women have to do the same, but you can't compare women's body hair with men's. The real man is over, the plastic man is on.

    Well I'm not a pro-caveman either, if you have hair in your back, laser it, all I'm saying is men shouldn't be ashamed of features that are innate to their condition like hair and balding. Here, some pics of gorgeous hairy men:

    See? Hair doesn't make a guy cute or ugly! Key thing is not to let any defect make you insecure. To be attractive a guy should be smart, charismatic, nice, or any other thing that you have and can boost.

    Now, having said all that, I'm maybe as shallow as the next blonde girl, It's true that when I'm at a club I'm looking for the cute, but I can tell you that I'm so over muscles and players, I'm in for guys I can learn something from, that mean good, that can listen and reason. Beauty is so disposable, so futile and empty. The other day I went to the hospital [I fucked my right foot by walking with smaller shoes than my size, and I'm talking about not torturing oneself for beauty!] and the doctor... I wouldn't have noticed him at a night spot, but he was so nice and appealing I would've fucked him right there! Seriously, he was so owning the situation, so secure, so opened.

    Anyway, I know I'm not gonna change anything, mostly because nobody reads this blog, if my readership was half that of Perez Hilton we would be talking, but! I had to say it out loud and get it off my chest. So here I say it again:

WHEN YOU LET HETEROS WATCH FASHION...

NOTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF IT

    Reading one of my fave technology blogs Gizmodo today I run into this story about Balenciaga's robo-leggings, a fine post, only a year and a half late. But the best of it are the comments some of the readers left after watching the runway show:

"Oh, there were different models? I thought they just used the same uncoordinated anorexic over and over again. The Clone Wars are coming..."

"Apparently gay designers are afraid of the female form and go out of their way to find models with bodies like little boys."

"It would probably help if there were a couple of heterosexuals in the industry.
You know, to help guide 'em."

"Is it just me, or could I snap one of those models in half with my bare hands?
I think someone else had it right, gay men who hate women become fashion designers so they can express their hatred through fucked-up designs.
Or mysgonistic straight fashion designers. Same difference."

    And my personal favorite:

"Modeling makes me angry because it is so ridiculously stupid. I want to punch all of those people in the face for not being a productive part of society."

    Yeah, society would be great without fashion designers, cause all of these retards' girlfriends would look like

    and I would roll on the floor laughing my ass off. Then they would beg those gays to design again.

    Luckily some readers actually used their brains and said things such as:

"Keep in mind that fashion shows like this are more about pushing the envelope than showing practical everyday wear.
It's like going to an auto show with exotic prototypes, which are eventually toned down and made practical upon reaching dealerships.
The designers are just trying to spark innovative ideas for tech in fashion, just like automotive engineers."

BY THE WAY: I personally wore those leggings to shock of the world. Look at it HERE.

AS GOOD AS I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE. EMPORIO ARMANI BRINGS DAVID BECKHAM BACK TO SEXSIMBOL-LAND

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE PHOTOSHOP WE WOULD HAVE TO INVENT IT

 

    Because who cares if this photography is loosely real? (Wait a minute is this a photography or a painting?) What counts is that this is some horny beautiful shit!

    I seriously can't believe they've done it so right. The right angle, lighting (including the concealing glow in the package), the B&W, it's just perfect! This is important because Mr. Posh Spice is not as young as he was 7 years ago (big surprise) and as Brad Pitt, he's starting to look his age, so when I heard about this campaign a few weeks ago I thought: doesn't this come a few years late? But they've done it perfectly (overphotoshoped and all, including the modified boobs), and perfection is always a welcome surprise.

    All I'm sayin' here is that I'm gonna start a fan club devoted solely to Beckham's balls.

GOTTA GRAB' EM! BITE'EM! RUB'EM! AAGGG GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

DO YOU MISS IRINA LAZAREANU?

WHAT IS THE NEXT-TO-BE MS. DOHERTY UP TO?

    There's a cool interview in JD Ferguson's blog where the super model does a little catch up.

☛ Thanks jdivision.

NO FUCKING WAY

    What you see is the Details cover for December, where they name Kevin Federline one of the “50 Most Influential Men under 45” at number 7 alongside Larry Birkhead (never mind who that is), as "The Good Fathers".
    Bizarre.

ANDRE J AND VOGUE PARIS. THE STORY BEHIND THE COVER

EXCUSE ME SIR, THERE'S A CROSS-DRESSER IN MY VOGUE COVER

    The New York Times run a story about the lady in the left on the cover for November's Vogue Paris. As you may guess I love this cover, so I liked reading this, nothing THAT interesting though.

    PS: I'm sick so that's why I look like creepy crap, I didn't wanna post the typical scan of the cover though.

ARMANI OPENS TOWER IN TOKYO

    Last night the Italian designer inaugurated the Armani Ginza Tower with actress Cate Blanchett. The 12-story + 2 basements building sports sections for Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, Armani Casa, "Armani / Ristorante", a bar in the top called "Armani / Privé", as well as headquarters, showroom, etc., plus, hold it, the brand's first spa! It's in the 5th floor, so yes, it's a little weird to go trough a luxury store to go to a spa, but I assume it'll be well worth it.

    The celebrations continues as tonight there's a diner + Fergie concert planned for the occasion.

CAVALLI BRINGS EXCESS, LEOPARD PRINTS TO THE STREETS

   

    If you thought Fashion would skip the feline motif this season think again, cause the Italian designer is not willing to let it rest. If last fashion weeks showed exceptional moderation in the sexiest houses, R.C. wants to make his H&M line a greatest hits collection, embodying all the features the brand is recognized for.
    Coming November 8, "Roberto Cavalli At H&M" is certainly looking hot and the clothes feel more expensive than other H&M collaborations. The downside? They are, more expensive, but the good thing is you won't see 30 girls wearing your same gown this New Year's Eve, you'll just see 10.
   

    Let's let Roberto himself show us some of his fave ones in this video:

(Pops in new window)

    There was a fierce party in Rome last week for the coming launch:

 

Fun!
