Now I know that the cute young thing I am partial to is a bit on the smallish side. I mean, the boy has no ass at all and considering he plays a kid most of the time thats par for the course, but its starting to get a bit concerning. He aint not kid anymore, hes starting to tap on the door of 30 and the last picture I saw of him from some magazine shoot he did, he had his t-shirt pulled up, showing off his tummy and his happy trail and even the edge of the forest, and he looked GAUNT. In fact the expression on his face even looked like he was hungry. It didn't make me hot, it made me want to go into the kitchen and cook up some dinner and feed him. My 15 year old son is bigger than him, and that aint right, because my 15 year old son looks up to that guy as kinda a role model and now my son,(who has a six pack and is an athlete), is dieting! Im a bit pissed off. I dont let my kids live on crap or junk food. We eat healthy. In fact my daughter considers mac and cheese and rare and amazing treat and McDonalds is virtually unheard of.
My son actually got a bottle of his favorite Asian salad dressing for his birthday and was tickled to death because he eats so much salad that its something he actually uses. Nobody in my little family is fat, but nobody is unhealthy either, but I worry about my son because he thinks he is fat because you cant count his intestine lines. What the hell is with the twink look that is going on in Hollywood nowadays for young men?
I saw a picture of the new Spiderman and I was like,"Really?!!" the child is soo skinny that he doesn't look like he could fight his way out of a spiderweb. I dont expect all guys to be big old bulky muscle heads, but normal, healthy, manly sizes would be nice to see. It hurts my heart as an older woman to see a cute young man looking like he is starving to death. I worry that he might be sick, or not taking care of himself, its not a look that generates a desire to do anything other than sit down and have a talk with my own kid about positive body image and nutrition.
Sis and I had a chat about the disturbing lack of bulges in the zipper areas of young men in many of the pictures as well, and my sis's comment was,"Well, thats just because you are out there on the Left coast, getcher ass back here to Texas where we got fellas that wear faded spots in the front of their wranglers with their peckers." Yeah...sis has a way of reminding me of all the the good things I am missing by not being back home. Like another friend commented, its just a disturbing trend towards making everything plastic looking. Getting rid of the bulges, getting rid of the body hair and blemishes and faults that make them interesting. I personally find all the little quirks like freckles and moles and scruff and glasses make a fella more human, and I wish that those that make magazines and movies would remember that. My son keeps trying to rid himself of all his body hair, and considering hes of Scot/Irish descent, hes a bit screwed in that aspect. He furry as a werewolf and the one good thing that came out of the whole starved looking picture that my son saw was that he saw the guy has fuzz...so maybe, just maybe, my son will stop trying to eradicate his.
