David “Goldenballs” Beckham

January 7th, 2008 Posted in Manly Mondays, Underwear

Ah, underwear. I’m definitely a fan. Especially when there’s a sexy man snugly held inside of them. D Becks is today’s Manly Monday pick at FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com because, as you’ve probably already heard, his Armani Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign is in the new Vanity Fair. “The former England captain stares sternly from the poster as if defying anyone to suggest a little computer enhancement might have contributed to the chiselled six-pack or, indeed, to any other parts of his striking physique,” the Daily Mail comments. Man, who cares if David’s photo is enhanced. Aren’t ALL magazine images doctored? Wait. Scratch that.

Remember when Jamie Lee Curtis posed in her underwear for More magazine. It was, like, 5 or 6 years ago. MSNBC, CNN, USA Today and pretty much other heavy hitter in the media picked that story up. I remember thinking: Why is it considered ‘news’ that: (1) Jamie Lee Curtis wears underpants and (2) people have seen a natural picture of her wearing them? Because I’m an info junkie who googles everything, I found out that San Francisco Chronicle writer Joan Ryan said she thought people cared because “more than three decades into the women’s movement, it is still a radical act for a woman to accept her body as it is.” Good point. But, is this *really* just about the feminist stuff, or is there something deeper going on here?

Maybe underwear is more “revealing” in terms of self-esteem / identity than it is about, you know, flesh. (For women and for men.) I certainly think Jamie Lee Curtis’ underwear photo “bared” more than David Beckham’s — even though his shows more skin. Hmmm … it’s definitely a little manly mental meat for thought. In any case, if you want to find a copy of Beckham’s photo in Vanity Fair, follow the trails of drool to a newsstand near you.

    I think the interesting thing about the jamie curtis pic is that body Vs. the body she had in “true lies” she was smokin in that movie and it wasn’t all that long ago. I think it boils down to how people look in general Vs how they look made up for display.

    I don’t wear underwear to impress a woman…….i take my underwear off to do that ;)

    i’d say jamie lee curtis has big balls! :)

    Media images of celeberities have become so tightly controlled (particularly for women) it’s no wonder people got themselves worked up when a woman “of a certain age” dared to appear naturally. Look at the feeding frenzy when Britney Spears performed looking less than perfect. She wasn’t even fat, just average. Actually, she was in pretty good shape for a mother of two (or is it three – I don’t even care). Who has alcohol and drug abuse issues.

    Allegedly.

    @ Bexxie: Aren’t they HUGE?!?! :) … And, happy New Year to you, too!

    @ denise: Are you serious?!?!! That’s too funny!! Small world.

    @ Ella: I love it!

    @ Baba Doodlius: :-)

    @ Nics: YES!! Isn’t his voice slightly annoying??? It’s TOTALLY not what you’d expect.

    @ Dkzone: Yeah. You should totally check out Jamie Lee Curtis’ photos in More. The first one is au natural. They have one of her all made up. Supposedly, it took 13 hours to transform her from the first look to the second one … and that’s not even counting the airbrushing and other photo doctoring they do.

    @ Carolina Pereira: HUGE balls! :)

    @ Mr Angry: Yeah, folks came down pretty hard on poor Britney. :|

    She certainly ‘bared more’ than Becks, her photo reminds me a lot of the adverts for ‘Dove – campaign for real beauty’ which I thought was a pretty cool concept. Did they show it over there too or was it just over here?


  12. Darwin Says:

    BTW Happy New Year! It’s a tad late, I know, but I’m still in the process of playing catch-up on blogs after the holidays!


  13. Dkzone Says:

    13 hours?! no way!! how long does it take to put on a concealing dress, some heels, and change your body position?


  14. funkybrownchick Says:

    Darwin: Happy New Year to you, too! :-) And, yeah, the Dove “Campaign for Real Beauty” was over here, too. By the way … glad to have you back on the blogs!!

    Dkzone: Apparently it takes 13 hours. :)


  15. Childfree Sexpot Says:

    Hey girlie…I haven’t been by in forever!

    Happy New Year, thanks for the e-card, and DAYUM David Beckham is HAWT.

    And I generally like my men dark so this is monumental for me! LMAO! :-)


  16. funkybrownchick Says:

    Glad you liked the card. And, yes, David Beckham *is* special, isn’t he? :)
