☆ Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ (Lindsay’s Version)
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

Dear listeners,This past weekend, along with more than 200,000 people in the New York metropolitan area, I attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. I saw sights I will never forget: more than one person, in late May, dressed head to toe as a Christmas tree (an inside joke about Swift growing up on a Christmas tree farm … I think? ); a father proudly wearing a handmade shirt that read “Real Men Listen to Taylor Swift”; enough sequins per square inch that, when the sun hit it right, MetLife Stadium could probably be seen from space. But, of course, I also saw a generation-defining pop superstar performing at the top of her game, throughout a sprawling, near-three-and-a-half-hour set that highlighted her stylistic versatility, physical stamina and ongoing evolution as a songwriter. Though Swift has long had a flair for both spectacle and intimacy in a live setting, what I couldn’t shake (shake, shake) during this marathon 45-song set was how completely she’s come into her power as a performer.

☆ Superstar Billy Graham, Model of the Buff, Blond Wrestler, Dies at 79
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Richard Sandomir | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Superstar Billy Graham, a professional wrestler whose extravagant presence — 22-inch biceps, dyed blond hair, feather boas, tie-dyed tights and an outrageous gift of gab — influenced the style of future stars like Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura, died on Wednesday in Phoenix. The cause was sepsis and multiple organ failure, said Keith Elliot Greenberg, who collaborated with Graham on his autobiography. Graham’s longtime use of steroids had weakened his bones, requiring at least six hip replacements, and made him sterile. He also received a liver transplant in 2002 after contracting hepatitis C.“If you look at those that came after him, more people have patterned themselves after Superstar Billy Graham and become a success in this business than probably anybody,” Triple H, the superstar wrestler whose birth name is Paul Levesque, said at Graham’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004. “And when it comes to bodies, there was nobody, and I mean nobody, that could touch the Superstar.”Graham, who was born Eldridge Wayne Coleman, had been an evangelist, a bodybuilder who bench pressed as much as 605 pounds, a defensive end in the Canadian Football League, a debt collector and a bouncer before turning to wrestling in 1970.

☆ Line Dancing Toward Euphoria

On the night of April 17, a crowd of 20- and 30-somethings, many of them queer, packed into Georgia Room, a Georgia O’Keeffe-inspired nightclub at the Freehand Hotel in Manhattan. They were there to drink and dance, but they hadn’t paid $25 each to grind or freestyle. More than 300 people — some in cowboy boots and 10-gallon hats and biceps-exposing denim vests — turned out for the sold-out event. The evening’s draw was Stud Country, a queer line-dancing and two-step class and party that usually takes place in Los Angeles. There, the event draws regulars and curious newcomers every Monday and Thursday to Club Bahia, a Latin joint in Echo Park.

CNN —My first stirrings of discomfort at Taylor Swift’s show in Las Vegas hit after the infectious beat faded from fan-favorite “Cruel Summer,” the second song in her supersized set. Challenging double standardsTaylor Swift flexes during her performance at Allegient Stadium in Las Vegas. And whether we were cringing in our seats, like me, or cheering her on, also like me, her words delivered a powerful message. Like Swift, who will perform for over three straight hours on every night of this 52-stop tour, I’m also an endurance athlete. Over the course of this tour, millions of women will watch her share her success.

Since dress shirts are a closet staple, there are also hundreds to pick from, making a trusted recommendation invaluable. “Hands down, it’s my top selling button-up dress shirt,” she says. Though it has the appearance of a traditional dress shirt, it’s actually made of a sweat-wicking cotton-polyester blend with four-way stretch. “Without a doubt, this is a favorite of each client that tries it,” Alexander says of the dress shirt he recommends most often. Soft silk pickAs an alternative to cotton or synthetic blends, silk is a luxurious option that’s lightweight and soft on the skin.

☆ Superhero Movies Created Bigger Actors. But How Big Is Too Big?

In Hollywood, muscle-bound actors with tree-trunk biceps rule the box office. But just how big is too big? Dwayne Johnson’s macho DC Comics character “Black Adam” has traps large enough that it’s a wonder he can turn his neck to see the bad guys. “The Lost City” actor Channing Tatum brandishes toned pecs the size of football helmets. And why exactly do the sinewy fighter pilots in “Top Gun: Maverick,” the highest-grossing film of 2022, need to look like they could bench an actual plane?

☆ (foto) Cum ar arăta bărbații obișnuiți în publicitatea de lenjerie intimă
▼ + stars: | 2015-08-07 | by ( Onixmedia Srl | ) diez.md time to read: 1 min

BuzzFeed a realizat un experiment pentru a vedea cum arată bărbații obișnuiți în publicitatea de lenjerie intimă. Chiar dacă suntem obișnuiți să vedem în publicități de lenjerie intimă bărbați ce au corpuri perfect sculptate, bronzați, coafați perfect și fără niciun cusur, produsul pe care îl reclamează este utilizat de toată lumea, iar realitatea este total diferită de ceea ce vedem pe panourile publicitare. Bărbații sunt cu toții diferiți, de diverse etnii, înălțimi, greutăți și forme. Publicitatea impune băieților de mici un anumit aspect stereotipizat despre ce înseamnă masculinitate și perfecțiune. Astfel, echipa de la BuzzFeed și-a ales câte un panou pentru a-l recrea exact așa cum pozează bărbații model din imagine, cu abdomen cu pătrățele și biceps antrenat.
