drooling just a little

[dichroic]

Since we had Friday off we went to see the new Wolverine movie. It was heavy on the gratuitous half-naked shots of Hugh Jackman, not that I'm complaining! (This may be the first movie I can remember since Top Gun that has more eye-candy for me than for Ted.) Anyway, thinking about it left me bemused at local tastes; many straight women here prefer unmuscled men, to the point of encouraging their husbands / boyfriends not to work out. I kept thinking, if I wanted a guy shaped like a girl, wouldn't I just be gay?

Somehow it's easier for me to imagination appreciating a wider range of shapes (and being attracted to men and women, including ones who prefer a gender-bending style - which in fact I am aesthetically, if not sexually) than to imagine being attracted to only skinny men. De gustibus, I guess.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but kirbyfest's writeup had me cackling.

For what it's worth, I find Jackman-as-Peter-Allen way more physically appealing than Jackman-as-Wolverine. Then again, I've never been turned on by the sight of Brad Pitt, so my tastes probably rate as more quirky than not.
