Lots of “mourning” looks in the Vivienne Westwood show. But Sam Smith’s ensemble brought to mind a chubby, aging go-go boy featured in the only gay bar in the Scottish Highlands.
Where would 2SLGBTQIA+ culture be without narcissism? If you can’t be beautiful, be ridiculous. It’s the essence of drag, isn’t it? All that matters is stealing the spotlight — one way or the other.
Ben Sasse may have fired Florida’s DEI staff, but here in Texas, we can be SO proud of Abbott and his continuing terroristic tactics against anyone who isn’t white, straight, and Protestant. All public colleges in Texas were forced by legislation recently passed to close their DEI depts and discontinue all activities related to them. Just recently, a scheduled PRIDE Night at a University of Texas women’s basketball game was mysteriously just not held, and it turns out the Governor’s Office pressured UT to not hold the Pride event. This is the kind of thing that has become common in Texas – they are just waiting for a favorable SCOTUS ruling to take away all of our rights.
Remember when the adults in the room warned everyone that foolishness like Drag Queen Story Hour and Pronoun Policing were going to lead to a backlash, and all the smart*sses replied, “Hey, Boomer?”
Oh so right. When Ts hit the scene life as we knew it went down the toilet, for everyone. But then a body with two souls within battling for sexual dominance has to be total hell. Hence the attempted hostile takeover. Funny no one anywhere has mentioned exorcism. It’s duly in order.
It has nothing to do with looking like everyone else, it has to do with his sport. Many swimmers shave their body hair to prevent drag in the water.
Not sure his reasoning but not sure why anyone would want the upkeep of daily shaving if it wasn’t necessary.
You are correct JRamon – in several of his interviews, he has talked about the hassles of shaving but something most international level divers do to promote uniformity in their dives. It helps with drag, consistency in the dive, and he said it makes “the look” uniform as well.

Wouldn’t open Smith’s video. Not into his flying whale blubber.

I think everyone has grown tired of Sam and his voyeuristic humiliation fetish. Yang and his gay minstrel act need to get in the bin.
LumpyPillows
Someone at that fashion show must hate Sam. That outfit was the WORST!! Where was his agent or stylist. Those rags would have looked shite on anyone.

It looks like he crawled out of a skip after a rough Friday night binge.

inbama, we were right, but it is a pyric victory.

Both Tom Daley and Jake G. have the most perfectly beautiful hairy legs but, alas, they both shave them.
Why? To look like everybody else?

he’s a diver,

diving is an aesthetic sport and divers without body hair tend to get marked higher according to Tom himself
dbmcvey
Bowen Yang is so brilliant! I love his sensibility.
Rank Amateur
Why would anyone remake Roadhouse? Once was enough.
LumpyPillows
You may have something here. Someone did say they should stop remaking good movies and remake the bad ones into something good. Maybe it’s that.
