#1Djimon Hounsou's Calvin Klein ad
Posted: 12/6/07 at 9:12amWhere would we be without Mr. Klein's efforts to redefine the tiny whities aesthetic? Brief briefs as it were. The gifted Hounsou was heretofore known for his Oscar-nominated performances. Yet yesterday I saw a bunch of women d'un age certain poised, gasping, in front of the massive ad currently displayed in the Macy's underwear section, also on A-5 of Times today. Mr. H's ... sensitivity ... is not what's being exploited. And clearly IN AMERICA wasn't on the ladies'minds. I could only think of the late Alice Ghostley's memorable invocations on GOLDEN GIRLS....

Posted: 12/6/07 at 9:42amThe ads are stunning. I used to think so much of Mr. Hounsou until he took up with that Kimora Lee Simmons.

Honey, In America isn't on anyone's mind.
I'm not sure what the thrust of this thread is. Is it deriding Calvin Klein for exploiting Hounsou? Hounsou for being exploited? The woman for being complicit in the exploitation? The fact that it's a man in position that usually a woman's?

Posted: 12/6/07 at 9:58amPhillis Sweetie, it's a thoroughly thrust-free thread. An innocuous meditation on an actor's opportunities, a culture's capricious tastes, and no doubt on a Broadway World.com poster's bordom.

Um...they may be white. And they may be tight.
But those are NOT tighty whities.

Posted: 12/6/07 at 10:39amThere are actually several different styles on display in the spread. I think those are more a "Boxer brief" but I'd really need to examine them close up in person to say for sure.

I'm trying to remember what Alice Ghostley said on "The Golden Girls" that fits here, but I'm drawing a blank.
Help me, doodlenyc, you're my only hope!

The are clearly boxer briefs. I would not need to examine them up close to ascertain that.
I would, however, need to be up close to suck him off.
Did I just say that???

Actually, as an avid fan of this style, those are the trunks. It's the CK Steel Cotton collection. I have two briefs and two trunks.

Posted: 12/6/07 at 11:39amAnyone who wants to see Mr. Hounsou do some thrusting needs to check out Sandra Bernhard's WITHOUT YOU I'M NOTHING. Yes, that's him...sticking it to Sandra right before she goes into her "I Never Meant To Hurt You" monologue. Ass-terpiece Theatre.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Women were gasping?
For what?
There's millions of well built men with smaller than average penis'.

Posted: 12/6/07 at 3:26pmIf there is truly a god, all gorgeous men who have small penises. No one should have it all.

Calvin dear, I dont think there is anything quotable from Alice Ghostley from The Golden Girls, as she was only in one episode, playing Stan's mother living in a trailer. It's the mothers day trilogy episode and Dorothy has to ask her for money.
On Designing Women she had a few quotables each episode...were you thinking of that? Was it when she answered the phone "Boogershakers!" instead of "Sugarbakers"?

Posted: 12/6/07 at 3:45pmYes, I think we've once spoke about how you have it all. I recall an attachment to an email actually.
