MODERN GAY STYLE: TATTOOS

Stephen James Modern Gay

The word “tattoo” is derived from the Polynesian word “tatau”. The practice was first documented by Captain James Cook in the 18th century while exploring Tahiti and New Zealand.  Sailors on later voyages introduced the practice to Europe and as they say, the rest is history. Nowadays tattooing has become a form of personal expression that has permeated its way into mainstream culture. Once seen as rebellious and extreme and confined to the fringes of society, tattoos can now be found on people from all works of life.

As an ode to the humble tattoo, please enjoy these modest pictures of English model Stephen James.

MODERN GAY STYLE: AESOP

Aesop

Aesop, the skincare brand that originated in Melbourne, Australia in 1987 is internationally recognised for its signature stores which are located throughout Australia, New York, Paris and Hong Kong but it is the Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque that makes this brand particularly attractive to the modern gay man.

Although each of its 60 plus stores is a uniquely designed architectural masterpiece the success of the brand is based on the products sold within these temples of beauty. In particular, the Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque is the perfect antidote to a big weekend of drinking and partying or a particularly tiring week in the office. The clay-based masque deeply cleanses and refreshes the face, leaving the skin feeling softened, tightened and revitalised.

MODERN GAY STYLE: VINTAGE COOL

schon21_601

Sometimes the sexiest look is the simplest to achieve – a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt with a leather jacket. In this editorial for Schon! Magazine, styled by Luca Termine and shot by Stefan Giftthaler, model Franky channels Marlon Brando in the 1953 film “The Wild One”.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Marlon Brando. His brooding demeanour, masculinity and timeless handsomeness make him the epitome of “cool”. And let’s not forget his openness about his sexuality which he discusses here.

MODERN GAY STYLE: CELEBRITY SEXINESS

David Beckham Gay Guide

Gaydar.net has released the results of a survey of 4,000 of its male members in a bid to piece together which characteristics respondents find the most attractive in male celebrities. Members rated various celebrity body parts and personality traits from David Beckham to Zac Efron.

According to the poll, the sexiest man would have a combination of former English ruby player Ben Cohen’s chest, Taylor Lautner’s stomach, Ronaldo’s behind, Hugh Jackman’s biceps and personality, and David Beckham’s legs, tattoos and wealth. In terms of facial features, the most attractive combination as voted by Gaydar members would include Brad Pitt’s smile, Gerard Butler’s voice, Jake Gyllenaal’s eyes and nose, Zac Efron’s hairstyle, Tom Hardy’s lips and  actor Jason Statham’s jaw.

Personality and talent were also considered. Respondents chose Gerard Butler’s personality, David Beckham’s sex appeal, Amir Khan’s sporting skill and Jude Law’s dress sense as qualities they would love in a partner.

The sexiest celebrity overall was David Beckham. While David was also the celebrity gay guys would most like to introduce to their parents (13%), a similar percentage of guys (12%) said they would actually avoid him, suggesting that although sexy, not everyone thinks Becks is relationship material.

For full results of the survey including a picture of what the “perfect” man looks like when all these features are combined, visit Gaydar’s Blog
