http://men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_10037 Somehow I managed two things: One, impulse purchasing the latest edition of GQ magazine (Tatum Channing/August 2009), while at a midnight run to Safeway. Two, actually reading an article in the darned magazine. In the age of the internet, I've discovered my attention span is shortened AND that my reading of printed media has diminished. Before I get to my point, I mention some other errata regarding Channing Tatum. He's touted by GQ as the latest Hollywood darling. I can see this. Especially with his upcoming Summer blockbuster G.I. Joe. While I'm a lukewarm fan, his previous movie chararcters have been brooding/emo/somber and he comes across the screen as charasmatic as Frankenstein. I hope to see him evolve as an actor on the Big Screen. In anycase, I like his rag-to-riches story that is written up in GQ, at least the blurb I read so far. I'm sure we'll see more of him in the future. Ideally, I'd like to see him play opposite Seth Rogen in a Judd Apatow movie someday. The Channing Tatum GQ pictorial spread was great. He's got a great frame for displaying clothes that will never fit me. The one element that caught my eye was the bracelet he wears in many of the shots. I love the Oyster Bracelet used in ROLEX watches and in the shoot. It seems to be the same but it's difficult to tell as a consistent photo credit is given but a consistent view of the watch and bracelet is not. In anycase, I wonder if one of the perks of doing these types of photo shoots is getting to keep all of the clothes, shoes, bags, hats, accessories, and ROLEX watches used in the pictorial? Where was I? Yes, the point of the article "The Sweet Spot" by Adam Sachs! Vicarious living? Maybe. I'm glad I'm not a single bachelor. Not that I ever was. I might feel like this guy, Carlo. --- LOL - i just saw this on the Top 10 list at AskMen.com... (07/30/2009) |
