NOT VAIN, JUST HONEST — by Steve Nadis

(Author’s Note: To avoid charges of plagiarism, I’d like to say, upfront, that I got this from my #1 source of news, “Personality Parade” in the one magazine I’d most like to have on a desert island, “Parade,” assuming, of course, I hadn’t “Lost” my subscription.) When asked about his interests, the male model and Halle Berry companion Gabriel Aubry mentioned tanning. “If you’re tan,” as Aubry wisely noted, “you can’t go wrong.” Even readers of this blog who are not male models (assuming there are any–either readers or readers who are not male models) might still find a kernel of truth, and perhaps some inspirational words to live by, in Aubry’s sage remark. And let us all say, “Thank you, Parade.” Where would we go for important news without you?

    What did you expect? If he actually had any brains, he wouldn’t be a model.

    Well put, Roses. Touche’. I didn’t really have any expectations, one way or the other. But I did find it interesting to list “tanning” under the heading of one’s “interests.”

    That’s as deep as a George Hamilton tan.

    Great line, Doc. You really pulled up an otherwise ordinary post.

    I agree with OldRoses. But this brings up an interesting question: if you take someone who is very brainy but severely challenged in the male modeling and tanning department and you give him a tan, hair, liposuction, exercise, and a lot of cosmetic surgery, will he become dumb?

    I’m just thinking this must be the reasons Karl Rove is so brilliant. He’s pasty, bald, overweight and about as handsome as a 200 lbs. hairless hamster. So maybe, in the interest of getting this country out of its political, moral, military, economic, and presidential quagmire, we could get the “Queer Eye” guys to do an extreme make-over on Karl Rove? It’s just a thought.

    But, in any event, for Karl Rove I think we should change Aubrey’s line to: “You can’t go wrong with a good tanning.”

    Thanks Gatemouth for the interesting idea & another rousing example of the power of blogging–how you can start with a quite unexceptional post and turn it into something special.

    I can’t believe I just spent three seconds trying to invision Karl Rove as an extra on Zoolander. Still, I’m half in the bag off Shyrah anyway, so who knows what’s next…
