Barbie is for Guys, Too!
Originally uploaded by Don a/k/a that pinto guy

I had a nice long walk and took photos of a musician, but I'll explain that tomorrow after my legs stop screaming.

In the meantime, have a photo of an ad with a man who has a waist that looks so thinned out on the waist that he can probably fit into a lady's size 0 dress. If this isn't Shopped, then do you think he removed a few ribs along the way?

I didn't know they photoshopped guys' waists too. That's really messed up.

It's kind of funny, but there is that push for male image more nowadays. Remember how people like to remark on the role model status of Barbie and how her unnatural proportions influenced people's unnatural shapes? You can start to see it in action figures these days.

Action figures are less influential these days I imagine, though, since video games now take a major portion of that niche.

.. also, this is Abercrombie and Fitch, I think guys look pretty gay in their clothing anyway. I mean, if you ARE gay, then it works. But if you aren't and it's obvious and you're wearing their stuff anyway, you look stupid.

Thank you, that made me lol for awhile, especially since one of the kids I work with on a regular basis is a huge fan of Abercrombie.
