A Double Beefcake, Light on the Dressing (Beckham alert)
The Washington Post ^ | Jan 5, 2008 | Robin Givhan

Posted on 01/06/2008 3:19:14 PM PST by RDTF

The new advertising campaign for Emporio Armani underwear features an austere black-and-white image of soccer player David Beckham posing spread-eagle in an open shirt and his designer briefs. He's leaning back on a bed covered with rumpled sheets, and like so many models, he looks profoundly grumpy.

Over at Calvin Klein Underwear, the company celebrated its 25th anniversary this fall with an advertising campaign for its new Steel line. The name, our G-rated mind assumes, refers to the steel-colored waistbands on the briefs. The ads feature the actor Djimon Hounsou in a variety of poses, all of which feature his oak-tree physique in nothing but skivvies. Hounsou's skin glows with perspiration. And he looks rather moody as well.

Now there you go! I love the men of that era. They were real men.

You've got that right.

One thing that attracted me to my now-husband is that he looks like a young Jimmy Stewart.

Oh, yummy! Lucky you!

Your vision related expenses should revolve around post #85 by Lady Jag.

When he played Remington Steele, I knew he would make a great James Bond, but nobody listens to me, so they hired some other guy.
I can’t remember his name, but he had a round face.
James Bond can’t have a round face!
He must be angular. Like Brosnan.

that’s the kind of ping list I’d like to be on too

I'll be happy to add you, but since we're discussing both I should ask whether you were referring to the Salacious Ping List or to the Geriatric Slut Ping List?

I guess the original members could start a Geriatric Slut Ping List.

There is certain criteria to becoming a geriatric slut. Two of which is you cannot go out slutting alone (you must have at least one slut sister with you!); and you have to spend at least eight hours and eat two meals with your slut sister(s) in one days time.

I think a Geriatric Slut Ping List could add depth and meaning to the whole idea of Geriatric Slutdom!

I'm all for it... of course, within the guidelines which Allegra's mentioned.

Also, Geriatric Sluts must earn the disapproval of humblegunner and cause him to shake his head in disapproval and to mumble barely coherent phrases like "No good can come from this."
