Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't know if this is revenge or just comedy. Male Models Get Skinny:
models like Stas Svetlichnyy of Russia typified the new norm. Mr. Svetlichnyy’s top weight, he said last week, is about 145 pounds. He is 6 feet tall with a 28-inch waist. >[link]When the male models start weighing less than I do (they're not there yet, but not, apparently, for lack of trying), I think we'll have hit a watershed.
One of the days early into morphine I looked at woot's home page. It wasn't that product, but it was similar delivery. I think I stared at it for ten minutes before moving on, no less clued.
Male Models Get Skinny
Le Sigh. What is the world coming to, these days?
That's really not that new. A lot of gay men I knew back home were bullemic or anorexic. One guy I knew would sew the sides of his already tiny Gap t-shirts to make them fit tighter. That look has just spread to the modeling community.
They weigh less than I do, so that's a start.
I'm guessing heroin chic never made it from the Calvin Klein ads to the runway, if this is new. Janice Dickinson was certainly casting hollow-abdomened guys in her first season of the reality show. Curious about the newness.
I understand the designers are not looking for a male image anymore. They’re looking for some kind of androgyne
And here is the equality. They've been stripping away gender signifiers in couture for years, and now they're doing it to guys too.
However I'm way out of touch of the current differences between the desired image for general runway, couture, catalogue, etc. I know they vary muchly.
That's really not that new.
Oh, I know. I'm just whining because the high-fashion world I actually care nothing about declines to cater to my personal tastes!
Utah newsblogs are going nuts. Apparently the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are polishing up their boots and getting the saddles out. Half of the responses I see are "Oh, well, the Democrats will lead us to such wrack and ruin that the coutnry will be grateful to vote for Romney in 2012 and put us back on the path to righteousness" and the other half are going "Well, you know, Obama's not that bad, when you think about it."
I think I'll put a Clinton sticker on my car--except I'd get a rock through my window for it.

I saw a bumper sticker in town yesterday that said, "I miss Bill."
I think we moved to the right town.
