Aha, you mean Lad’s mags! The UK phenomenon born of the 90s! Basically its like Glamo(u)r magazine but for guys. Only much, MUCH more downmarket. They get general interest articles about cars and gadgets and gross-out things about weird illnesses and amputations, then a bit of highstreet fashion, movies and hoardes of semi-clad ladies. It’s all a bit tasteless but a fascinating insight into the mind of that particular demographic.

The great thing is that nearly ALL the nudey ladies actually have booties and boobs. Yeah, they’re still pretty small, but it’s a step up from the twiglets in Elle magazine.

MizFit, you just saved my poor muscles from future death and sadness (you know my protein issues lol).

You’s my proteinhero.

PS: On the read-by-cell page, is it just me, or are there, erm, extra parts on the teddy bears? That’s *one* way to teach the kiddies about anatomy, I guess…*grimace*

I also love ThinkGeek ♥ guess it just showcases the true goddess =P

And that study is just crazy. I guess I am opposite because when I saw the Dove campaign for real beauty I went out and bought Dove deodorant. I always knew I was “different” LOL

word on the street is that it’s making them feel crappy about themselves, too.

(especially in british ‘laddie’ magazines I think they called them. anyone? sure I could google but can you just tell me why they are called laddie?!)

and it made me feel great about *myself* that I wasnt overjoyed (wink)

that misery really does NOT love company!

I for one have been buying Dove products because they have normal looking models.

LOL at the tatoos. reason #562 why I don’t have one.

And I thought I’d seen it all.

Do people seriously buy them? My office smells nice, but I suppose an aromatherapy USB stick might be useful if one worked in an ACTUAL office (I work from a home office) and had a cube next to a farter. Ewwww.
