I wondered how on earth the Russians in Odessa could be more into cross dressing, anti-whitism, and homosexuality (the women are among the most beautiful anywhere and the men ain't too shabby.) Then I read Odessa, Texas. Odessa, Texas has more SWPL types and worries about "racism." What a relief that I'm not that uninformed about social trends globally. Being an ex-art student, French major female, I don't get out much in the sports world.<br />Still, if there is a valid point worth taking from this racist drivel, it's that people should try harder to keep in shape and dress with some style. Black men are not any better (maybe even worse) as they age, really, from what I've seen. And as usual, where are the other races? Nobody has ever accused Asians of being overly dashing in their later years. Or hispanics.<br />Now Italians dress with flair without people questioning their sexual orientation.buzzing in the earnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-81551083739652229992013-03-28T05:06:23.402-07:002013-03-28T05:06:23.402-07:00Good news Steve!

Ted Danson, David Letterman... normal smile or looking straight ahead. Typical yuppie and preppy kinds of themes -- "success", "style," "The American spirit," "the sporting life," etc. <br /><br />Switch to "gq 1994" -- "Was Michael Jackson framed?" with a shot of him with his shirt unbuttoned down to his stomach. A (possibly related?) headline on the same issue reads, "A gay man's risks for love."<br /><br />Fast-forward to "gq 2004" -- now it looks like a clone of Tiger Beat, with middle school girl crushes on the cover (Ashton Kutcher, Orlando Bloom, Justin Timberlake, etc.).<br /><br />GQ in 2013 spoke for itself in the Bissinger article.<br /><br />So sometime in the early-mid-'90s, when the whole culture started turning queer.

Never from gays (thank god), who respond more to the campy/fetish look, as with Bissinger.<br /><br />Guys these days do dress like schlubs compared to the colorful/patterned preppy look that he describes from the '80s.
