Fashion Week Day 2 Feels Like Soft Porn

Posted by Tim
October 21, 2009

With all the buff guys, boxers, bikinis and Barbies on the runway at LG Fashion Week yesterday it was definitely feeling a little hotter than usual in the tents.

The afternoon and late evening show (Bustle - video above) showed lots of skin as undies and short shorts seemed to be the theme of the day. As always, we're posting all our videos, photos and snarky remarks in our special Toronto Fashion Week section. All videos are also up on our Vimeo channel. Here's a roundup of the sights and sounds from Day 2:

Why do male models always look they've been lobotomized?

Maybe it was "feeling a little hotter than usual" for Tim, but any normal gal would not find sissies in their undies "hot". Sorry to burst your bubble. Yuck!

Agreed! Ewww!!! Where's Dimitri The Lover when you need him?

LOL! Almost forgot about "The Lover". I had to go back a few days in blogto to find it, but I guess monitoring his activity through http://twitter.com/dimitrithelover is almost as good as a court-ordered ankle bracelet (which I'm sure he is very close to being fitted with anyway). Thanks for re-affirming my hetero-gal yuck vibe about these "hot models".

OMG! That's the most vile twitter I've ever read. Did you read the tweet where he's allowing gay men to attend his next meeting to "lisp their grievances."

Yes, yes. Cute. Enough about Dimitri. Point is that Tim's taste in "men" is not the same as ours. Sorry again Tim. We still love you!

Have they come up with any ideas other than "guy in a blue blazer" or variation thereof ?

Hey BlogTO - great work on being the only pixelated logo on the outside banner! Keep it pro.

Yeah. Can't say I'm too happy about that. Trust me, I gave them our high res logo to use but I guess they used the web (low-res) one. And, no, we didn't get a chance to see a proof or anything before they printed it. Nor did anyone contact us to let us know there was an issue.

The model with the shoulder length blonde hair fussed with his lips each time.

MODELFAIL! lol

I'm waiting for this blazer craze to go away. Fashion people, can we make this happen?

"Why do male models always look they've been lobotomized?"

So do the female ones, but we're so used to seeing women portrayed in the media as passive objects that it seems 'natural' to us. Whereas men are usually portrayed as active and having agency, so this catches our attention as being outside the norm.
