MORNING GOODS — You’ll find Alexander Morone in Las Vegas, but not on some table top at Krave. The 25-year-old has been around the block: 2(x)ist, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch, and even a Jessica Simpson tour. Which should either generate envy or empathy.

There really needs to be an airbrush limit for fashion photography. Some of those pics make him look like he’s made of PVC!

I can’t believe that some photographer took the time and effort to light him well. it makes him look like a Ken doll. his chest is waxed and that’s gross. his arms are too hairy and that’s gross. his eyes are too close together. he looks like Cher out of drag but with too much makeup. he needs meat on his bones, he looks like an emaciated holocaust victim (i’m assuming there was a BowFlex room at Alchwitz). his torso’s too long. his nipples are barely bite-size. judging superficially by photos of a man i never met in person, i’m going to assume that deep down he’s really boring. **meh**

@james p. p.: A Holocaust survivor? Please tell me that was a really bad attempt a poor humor. He is gorgeous! And I’m glad that he doesn’t weight 200 lbs like you seem to want. And in fashion circles, you have to remember, that right now; hairless is the desire. Not some beast that walked out of the forest. I find excessive body hair extremely disgusting. I’m living in Australia right now, and I HAVE seen guys that look like him. I’m glad that he looks after his body. And not like so many other lazy bastards I see else where that can’t seem to put down the deep fried Twinkies.

@james p. p.:
Alright, I’ve had enough of you. WTF is up with this “waxed” shit?
Listen, I’m 28 and I have about 6 hairs around my navel. I do not shave, in fact, I’m damn proud of those six hairs. My father, at 54, has eight hairs in the center of his chest and he’s always been like that. My Grandfather, ON BOTH SIDES, had a very light dusting of hair on their chests. Hardly noticeable.
Conclusion? NOT EVERYONE LOOK LIKE YETIS! Seriously, get off your soapbox! It’s the 21st Century! Hairy men is not “in.” Modeling companies cater to what is “in” because they are businesses. So you don’t like what’s “in” nowadays? Great! Good for you! Damn the Man!
But every time you pick apart a model like this you’re insulting me and mine. True, I don’t have ripped abs…In fact, I don’t have abs at all…But I still have no hair. And every time some Tom, Dick or fuckin’ Harry (no pun intended) goes off on how “ugly and make-me-throw-up” a “waxed” model looks…I seriously want to run up and bare my chest to you.

@james p. p.:
Okay, looking at your blog, I’ve decided to disregard everything you say. You have pictures of guys less hairy and less muscular (yet still defined) on your site.
Therefore, either you come here to simply stir up shit or you’re crazy.

He’s alright. He’s handsome and at least he’s not inked and metaled everywhere or looking -as they so often do- like queerty raided some middle-school recess yard.
My single mild and polite complaint is not the man modeling himself, but the tame chosen set of pictures: only one decent crotch shot in a dozen and no real ass at all. The best Morning Goods sets are the ones that make us long to be having wake-up sex instead of clacking away on a keyboard and sipping coffee.

@tavdy79: Fuck off. If he weren’t airbrushed, you would complain about that.
rickroberts
@Mark.of.Antares: Crazy is most likely it. And fat. And ugly. And unpopular.

I agree he’s handsome, but in most of the pics he looks dead in the eyes. I’d be willing to bet he’s much better looking in person.

@Mark.of.Antares: Here’s news for you….after reading YOUR rantings, I think it is YOU that needs to get a fucking life. Perhaps if you extended that much energy into other things and actually had a life then you wouldn’t have the time to go off on some rambling dissertation about your family tree that doesn’t mean shit!
MadProfessah
Meh.

@Joeb1212:

Hey guys…. just going out on a limb here, but I think James P. P. was speaking in “Sarcasm.”
…and here’s me thinking that Sarcasm was a commonly spoken language in the gay community….

ok, not all the pics do Alexander justice, I like pic 8, it shows off his abs but I wish you could see his face better. The main pic is pretty hot, wouldn’t mind getting on top of him on that couch. He has really nice eys.

I went to college with alex … he’s a great guy, and the pictures don’t really do him justice. he’s honestly someone you’d be happy to take home to meet the family just as quickly as you’d like to show him off at the hottest club in town.
I personally love the judgment of his personal character based on a few images posted up here, right beside complaints of superficiality.

@james p. p.: Hell mary full of shit, shallow be thy name!
Suburban
@ DJ, I agree about james p.p.’s comments, he’s full of shit.

jealous jealous jealous..wow what a great comment from the community..good lookin guys are here to stay…..
james p. p.
oh.
my.
gawd.
i guess i should speak up for the intellectually challenged. this is what is called “sarcasm” (thank you FROST). if you noticed (which you didn’t) the entire rant was filled with contradictions and absurdity. i was trying to make a point about the comments spewing from judging someone superficially based on a few pictures that are dictated by the photographer – NOT the model… and the negativity has become an insanely bad habit, especially when it comes to the subject of hair (as i myself am hairless save the arms, legs and pubes).
the fact that so many missed the obvious contradictions and stupidity of the post… and thought it REAL, goes to show just how much negativity we have become used to and how much judgment we have come to expect.
thank you all who proved my point.
(and thank you more to those who recognized it for what it was.)

@james p. p.:
Alright. I get it. Bad humor and sarcasm.
Steven
@james p. p.: A wink at the end of the first post would have saved you all that trouble. Like so : 😉
Sarcasm is hard to spot over the net. I myself did not read your post properly; I scanned the first line, though ‘oh, another whinge post’ and skipped past it. A pity, since it was funny on the reread (especially the last line)…
Frost
Hmm… I had no problem picking up on the sarcasm, but then again, I am bilingual. (Sarcasm being my second language.)
I also speak hetero, but that’s not difficult, you just grunt a lot and belch on occasion. 😛
