Not being British, I admit to previously only paying very minimal attention to all that arcane and medieval prince so-and-so’s marrying the arch-knave of somewhere-chester’s daughter. It all seemed so damn BRITISH. However, I came across (not literally…) these photos of Kate Middleton – the girl who’s marrying Prince William, Prince Charles’ son and heir to the British throne – cavorting on some boat, doubtlessly doing rich princess shit and it made me think, why don’t they just make her queen now? People would probably respect England a lot more if their queen was some lithe young vixen and not, you know, The Queen. Just an idea…
Like those commercials say, calling something “gay” meaning “bad” is really not cool. However, in the world of sports where dudes try so hard to come across as tough guys (as opposed to coming across a tough guy’s ass) often in a blatanly homophobic way, pointing out the latent homoeroticism of their actions is at least somewhat humorous. Emphasis on the somewhat. To that end, Huffington Post just put up their 16 Most Homoerotic Sports Photos Ever Taken, which are definitely worth perusing. It also reminded me of my complete failure to blog about this real, honest to god news headline from the sports world a couple weeks back “Tired Gay Succumbs to Dix.”
Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix edged out Tyson Gay in the former world champion’s hotly-anticipated return to the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
You know the dude at Reuters was either horrified, or completely elated at the prospect of penning a headline about Dix hammering Gay, the most inadvertently sexually vulgar news story since the search for Mike Hunt.
So you’re a performer, getting ready to go out on stage, and not just any stage, but a tall-ass, big time superstar stage. And you’re the type of person who people like to take photos of, because you’re a big superstar and all that, not to mention an extremely attractive young woman with a habit of wearing super skimpy outfits that emphasize your ample…lungs. And as all performers know, in basically any performer-on-stage situation the photo pit, where those people who want to take pictures of you go to take said pictures, is located directly beneath the stage, between performer and audience, where the photographers can get up close and personal, real personal, from directly beneath you. So of course, the prudent thing to do, if you’re Katie Perry, or pretty any other female pop star these days, is to wear the shortest skirt possible and let your fans read your lips (NSFW pics here). I’m not complaining, or anything, just saying.
