THE SHOT — A few hours at the gym and some, ahem, scalpel work and designer Marc Jacobs transformed himself into this: a eponymous brand willing to bare all to push the most marked-up commodity in consumer goods. It’s called Bang, and it won’t do that for your buck.
At the very least, it’s started a war (in my head) between Jacobs and Tom Ford, whose own nakedness involves this:
And this.

TOM FORD. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY HOTTER! Jacobs looks like a meth’d out has been.

Why is it methheads always think they have good bodies?

Okay, c’mon. As stupid as the add itself is, you’ve got to admit that (for a meth addict) he’s looking pretty fucking hot. Not a single one of you fat, bitter bitches would give a moment’s hesitation at crawling under that big poster he’s holding over his pink parts.
Plus, it’s way better than the Tom Ford Ass Fragrance add any day.
OhYeah
OMG, what is it with this queen and his mid-life crisis? He is becoming more pathetic by the minute. Between this desperate ploy for attention, his six-minute wedding and his dating of porn stars, he is turning out to be a rather sad man.
Oh Boy
You know – I think people are being really harsh. Here this man has made himself over in his middle age, and is enjoying life. I read he has also suffered health problems (colitis) in the past. I give him credit.
I think he looks great and he should serve as an inspiration. Gay men are sexy at all ages. Let him have his fun. It is all harmless.

He’s a sucess in the industry, and yet his self esteem is so rock bottom that he has to meth himself, wreck his face, and pose in one of his own ads as if he was a by the hour print model? This isn’t just a mid-life crisis, this is a full scale meltdown.
TheAwfulTruth
Tic tic tic… is he following in the footsteps of Alexander McQueen?

Such a double standard…If it was a mid-age woman who got fit and was looking pretty damn good in their own perfume ad it would be all FIERCE…
I got in shape in my late thirties and could not believe the backlash by “friends” who were JEALOUS….People said everything from my shooting dope to being anorexic, not so much, it was five small meals a day, yoga, cardio, and water, anyone with half a brain can do it.
reluctantcommenter
first of all, this is not the first time marc jacobs has posed “nude”. he did it back in 2008 for the stephen sprouse look book, so i don’t know why everyone is shitting themselves over this.
second, he’s a top fashion designer in nyc, and you’re surprised that he’s capricious, narcissistic and has a drug problem? how provincial. what do you expect him to do, wear a nun’s habit; stay home and stitch?
and at the very least, he’s in good shape from a purely aesthetic point of view. i’m sure all the greasy, fat queerty readers are in a position to judge on the basis of looks.

Tom Ford is cute, but his ass…flatter than Michael Jackson’s last EKG.
Aaron
Ah, be nice, he needs help. He’s fallen and can’t get up.
counterpoll
Ford is better looking but hey, good on Jacobs for getting in good shape. his other antics (wedding, possible drug use, etc) are scary but thats not the point here really. he is his own brand.

Marc Jacobs is hot, rich, super talented, and smart…..all the things that piss off bitter fat queens on the net. I love how EVERY SINGLE TIME his name is brought up gay blogs, the knives come out like clockwork.
He is not a meth head, and has freely admitted to his past drug abuse. Constantly accusing him of abusing drugs, with ZERO proof to back it up, just makes you a pathetic troll, grasping at straws.
Pornstars are people too, so what if he dated one?? Does that make him evil? Are you jealous that you can’t pull a hung pornstar??
He’s also admitted many times that he’s struggled with self esteem issues…..just like 99.9% of the rest of humanity….especially the fat bitter old queens.
He looks amazing in that ad, and I admire anyone with the discipline to reshape their entire body to the ideal of their dreams. While Marc was working out and transforming his body, his bitter critics were at home (alone) contributing absolutely nothing of beauty or creativity to the world.

So the choice here with MArc Jacobs defenders seems to be, either we say that he is great, or we are somehow fat bitter old queens. Yeah, like there are 20 year olds looking at that ad thinking “Hot! I want to look like a 50 year old Crystal Queen!” LOL Sorry guys, but at his age and his level of success it’s just sad. His finally being in shape is great, but this is just sad.
mike
gotta go with Tom Ford … he’s not trying, he just is.

@WalkderDC:
No one has to defend Marc Jacobs, because he hasn’t committed a crime….unless living a successful, and creative life is suddenly akin to murder.
Your entire post proves that you’re a bitter old queen, jealous of someone who looks amazing, and has a body that puts most 20 year olds to shame. How is he sad? How is posing nude in a his own fragrance ad pathetic? How does a “crystal queen” run a multi-million dollar fashion empire, and design for two labels? Not possible, but people like you needs something to grasp onto, in order to feel superior.
All people like you have is your judgement, and that’s sad.

At least Jacobs’ face is far enough away from the camera lens that you can’t see his meth-face. Nice bod though…
