Spot the odd one out?


John Slattery. In a Tuxedo.


Tinie Tempah. In a Tuxedo.


James Corden. In a tuxedo.


Lana Del Rey. In nothing.


And they say that there is no longer a need for feminism?

Let me start off by saying; I'm a big GQ fan, I like their style and the magazine is always well designed, and yes, I know that at the end of the day its basically a high class Lads Mag, but it was always kept me entertained when reading it.

But is there a need for international chart topping singer Lana Del Rey to be naked? And not only naked, but looking vulnerable and almost child like, and weak? And if they must to go down the naked route, they could have made her a lot more powerful looking, ála Helmut Newton's famous nude.

 
which LOVE did a very good interpretation of.


If you compare Lara & Lana, there is no question of who looks more powerful.


And on that note, why is Lana naked in the first place? Does no one remember Anne Hathaway at the Oscars looking amazing in a Lanvin Tux and Brian Atwood pumps? 



Or Diane Kruger at InStyle's Summer Soiree in Jason Wu?


There are plenty of ways to wear a Tuxedo and still be feminine, sexy, powerful and most importantly equal. Cause at the end of the day, that was my major issue when I saw these covers on the News Stand. Lana Del Rey is undoubtedly more internationally recognized thank John, Tinie or James, yet her cover does not equal that of her success.

I think Margaret Cho said it best when she said:

You know, you don’t have to be a woman to be a feminist. You should just fucking be a feminist, really. And if you’re not a feminist, you should kill yourself.

Blunt? Yes. True? Possible... At the end of the day who brought you into this world? It wasn't a stroke, I can tell you that much.

Nice day for a Summer Wedding!



So around this time last year my eldest sister announced that her and her man had gotten engaged, as happy as I was for them, I was more excited to find out that their wedding would be held on a beach in Spain.

Well everything was going to plan until Christmas time when my dear sister announced that she is knocked up, so the wedding would be pushed back a year or two... Someone doesn't want to be a fat bride apparently.

Needless to say I am more than thrilled for my Sister and her expanding family, as well as her expanding belly.




And luckily American GQ have just ran a fashion feature all about the perfect suit for a Summer wedding, so now I have a whole year to find my perfect out, and this editorial has more than a few great ideas.

Glee star Darren Chris does a pretty good job modelling these looks, and seeing as they are a bit 50's prom with a bitta rockabilly chic throw in, he pulls it off well.

Pantless Saturdays! I'm in!




Chris Evans, George Michael from Arrested Development and that guy who I can never remember all drop trou in the latest issue of American GQ. I was gonna say I hope this trend catches on, but there are some people who i would rather not less taking part in pantless Saturday. So maybe it should just be for Chris.

Just to let everyone know the blog is still alive and well, and as soon as AOL reconnect broadband to my new flat it will be posts as usual.

In the mean time here are some pictures of Lindsay Lohan doing her best Raquel Welsh impression. For a girl that is such a mess you gotta admit she can work a photo.

Spot The Difference?





I don't know why American GQ would choose that picture of Jake for their cover, he looks so dopey/stoned/A Little Special. On the other hand GQ Russia has him looking his usual dapper self...
