We’re at Week Five of this pile of construction detritus just sitting on the sidewalk, steps from the most recognizable intersection in Canada. My money’s on a September removal…
Team Shabby Toronto!
And? In the same way that if The Toronto Star reports on a “hip and happening” trend, it’s guaranteed to be laughably passé, when Fab Magazine tells us of “The Return of Hair”, it’s time to look longingly at that razor.
Just kiddin’! Like I’d remove The Gift of Testosterone! As if!

It pains me that they have an opportunity to actually put a hot hairy guy on their cover and they do this clumsy attempt at humour instead, using their usual stable of indistinguishable twinks. Like, wouldn’t it have been great to have that obviously waxed but otherwise hot baseball player from a month or so back come back all grown (up) in? OK, enough typing… off to SatC!
Well, yeah. Not that we’d expect any better from a (stereo)typically-Toronto gaybar rag, of course, because… why go for a tasteful, sexy cover featuring Men Living With Fur when you can go for a shot so cheap, narrow and (predictably) condescending?
Full disclosure: months ago I was asked to pose for a Fab cover illustrating yet another ridiculous “trend” story — gays with babies. Shirtless. And hirsute. Because? Well, I can only guess that someone who looks stereotypically “daddy”, in the role of an actual daddy, would be amusing and, yeah, condescending, too. Blah, blah, contrasting-the-smooth-naked-baby-with-furry-sex-god blah, blah.
I passed on the experience.
I kinda hope the hair vs no hair thing dies out too. Why can’t we all just be like the Sneetches and get along!
(of course all the sneetches were denuded of their stars in the end…)
Hair might be making a come back, I am seeing more and more hot guys sporting beards. Now I don’t know if that is the guy that makes the beard hot or the beard that makes the guy hot. I’ll leave that open for further discussion.
