Wow, I'm impressed to hear this.

Why are you asking us to accept the way it has been for 50 years?? There are SEVERAL harmful "traditions" societies have done away with, and when you have to rely on "this is always how we've been doing it" and "who are you? why don't YOU know that?" as arguments, they seem especially flimsy.

"Peak of male gaziness" is an AWESOME term!!!

Chick question: ever subconsciously or consciously judged your own body or treated yourself poorly based on images like this or to reactions based on images like this?

See, I don't agree that it's comparative: there's a woman on her knees behind him, while he's naked. She had to have a photo taken where she poses like that. It isn't just him in the photo. There's another person there. And HE is not controlling his modesty — this is in fact, a great example of our double standards…

OMG, it would SO rock if there were a pic like that of Lance Armstrong: "Oops, I almost showed you where the special IV used to go! Naughty me!"

Thank YOU! That Funny or Die shit struck me immediately as sexist and "more of the same", suddenly giving a voice and personality to an image of a woman when its convenient for him, an apparently lonely, angry consumer! Only in the final product, only when it's all done, only when the image is of a young,…

The final line in your comment is actually my point: this guy is obviously very, very far away from the norm of his generation and *probably* has shown anti-social behavior of some sort his whole life. Thanks for your assumptions!

Yes, the never had access but might have interest is entirely different but that awful attitude seeping in that intellectual curiosity is somehow synonymous with "elitism", which is subjective anyway, is a real concern to me. First, just because something is "anti-elitist" doesn't make it "American" and secondly, the…

I appreciate that you added this because I'm very farsighted and if it weren't for the "ABSURDLY LARGE" font option on my phone's Kindle app, I would be unable to read many things a well as I do. I'm not losing my sight (this has been confirmed) but as early as age 18 I struggled with reading for as long as I wanted…

It's CRAZY how people are so proud of being uninformed and then if they get a whiff that you notice, they act like they have somehow broken the code to enlightenment and are just above-it-all, y'know, not being slaves to media and so on (though they can't usually explain it that well).

Especially from a guy of that generation who has likely not been giving any fucks about anyone else his entire life. On the bright side, even though I'm not sure who would care, at least this guy is straight up advertizing what an ass he is.

DEFINITELY use a powder, not something viscous like Vaseline, or even a cream eye shadow until you know they will dry. For starters, just try some eyeshadow quads (they don't pay me, but I just really love Revlon shadows, they actually stay) which give you a ready-made miniature palette, from a drugstore. IME,…

YES! I'm glad someone who (somewhat) regularly walks the red carpet is having some fun with make-up: everyone looks the same it seems. There's no creativity, it's all uniform. Hope Uma keeps doing this and that this make-up artist gets even more work as a result. I'm terribly old, but I miss the days of versatility in…

Yep, and her eyes are slightly hooded to begin with which means *more* in-the-make-up-chair hijinks that doesn't show but really irritates the eyes — especially if she's like me and wears contact lenses.

I'm fair and dark undereyes and bags run in my family (it's genetic) and I too have had these comments said to me. IF possible, I WILL shame the person that makes such a comment because about 99% of those people would NEVER dare say that shit to a similarly complected man. I think I'm glad that makeup has never worked…

OK, *that* concern I can understand because yes, of the three: publisher, photographer and hip-hop artist, she definitely is the most vulnerable, but it isn't as if she's done a porn video with James Deen and Vivid Entertainment. But, we'll have to see. Obviously, I LOVE her and my worry is her shitty remarks and that…

I disagree. Unless she says more dumb shit, and I actually think *that's* where the damage could get worse for her, I don't see what part of her current audience she'll be turning off and I'm not sure why it isn't OK for her to expand the net with what might be un-Playboy-like, great-looking, wild, von Unwerth-style…

I think you have it wrong: Playboy has more money to pay any model than the "indies" or W, whose parent company is in turmoil. The fact that such an established photographer like von Enwerth is involved says MONEY right there. I think Playboy was the highest bidder, something they can actually afford to lose on…

That may not be what influences the perception of her: people don't decide whether to click on a nudie pic of someone because it came from Maxim, Nylon, or Playboy.
