It’s grey and getting colder outside, but inside things are HEATING UP. We are watching the Chippendales movie!
The link below is the best link I can find on youtube for “Tall Dark and Handsome”. We are going to watch it together starting at 3pm and have brilliant critical analytical commentary.
At 3pm Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and then we will all comment along from there!
And if we like it enough, and if people join late, we will just start playing it over again at 4:10pm.

The kids were outside earlier and I watche the first 20 minutes until they came back in. And I CANNOT stand the woman kissing the man’s ass. It just makes me feel gross and icky. As soon as the kids came back inside I turned it off. I MUST protect them from male objectification? I don’t know it just feels wrong.

It’s weird because I quite enjoy looking at these guys but would never be interested in them in real life. They’re all kind of wrong somehow.

They don’t look like they are enjoying themselves.

I don’t know if it’s that, I enjoy it when Govinda is miserable. They’re miserable in the wrong way?

Based on the interviews I saw of the dancers, they were actually enjoying it. But maybe they weren’t enjoying making this movie.

None of these dopey dudes are giving me good face in the close ups. Which makes sense if they are more live performers and less camera.

So far this is more dancing with an open shirt than stripping. I feel tricked.

THe no underwear is wrong. I preschool dad once told me that he doesn’t wear underwear and I have tried not to think about it ever since. I don’t think he washes his pants often.
