11:40 am | 25 July 2003 | a great step for man I was really glad to see that the new J. Crew catalogue features a male model who is bald, and not in a thuggy deliberate obvious Vin Dieselly* kinda way, but in a Dr.-Green-on-ER, bald-guys-are-sexy-too kind of way. That always seemed like a particularly cruel facet of the male beauty standard--the exclusion of bald guys, when a lot of guys are bald--so i was happy to see that trend being bucked. Now if they'd only feed the female models, who are sort of uniformly skeletal, we'd be all set. clm. *am i the only girl in the world who thinks Vin is like some kind of freaky animate latex golem, completely repellent in his thickneckery? i think i must be. today's usage note: in the beginning of the Last Temptation of Christ, an excerpt from Kazantzaki's book says the dual nature of Christ is "my principle anguish and source of all my joys and sorrows." It totally sucks that he is wrong.* "principal" means "first, foremost, main." hence, the head of a school is the "principal" because he is the highest--the foremost--educator there; or, "my principal concern is where to get more alcohol" is correct, too. *There is only one way for this to be correct, and that is if he intended to say "my moral anguish" not "my most primary anguish," which is super-debatable. unless otherwise noted, all work contained herein is � claudia sherman, 2002-04. |
