Controversial US fashion retailer, American Apparel, has teamed up with Butt Magazine, to launch a special set of towels in time for Gay Pride Day NYC.
“Each black and pink towel features a different life size guy, three of whom have been featured in past issues of the magazine. Models include artist Brian Kenny (cover star of BUTT #14), fashion design student Juan Jose Quiceno (cover star of BUTT #25), adult film star Arpad Miklos (featured in BUTT #24)–and introducing composer and lyricist Ernie Lijoi, and photographer Devin Elijah. Each model was photographed by long time BUTT contributor Marcelo Krasilcic.”
Hm.
Yours for $45
Um.
As a woman who has spent the past 100 years of my professional life, trying to figure out the shadowy depths of heterosexual men’s minds, I have always felt free to give the “why do they do thats” of gay men, significantly less brain time.
After all, they remain a sector of the market, that the readers of COSMO are less preoccupied with understanding.
On this evidence, I am relieved.
I do not know why anyone would want their likeness on a towel on which people would settle their flabby …er, butts.
And I do not know why anyone would want to use a towel, emblazoned with the likenesss of some very …um …hairy? Ordinary? Uncomfortable-looking? boyfriends of the photographer? men.
I’m sure they’re lovely blokes, but they’re not exactly Jake Gyllenhaal, now are they?
Mysteries.
