new men on the block

i think i'm getting old. either that or i'm totally losing my sense of aesthetics.

the last two big male filmstars to be launched have left me absolutely cold. this when all the newspapaers assure me that they should have had me panting with desire.

really, why would i go crazy about ranbir kappor. who looks like neetu singh in drag. he's short, his hair falls in his eyes, he has a body that looks well, white and pasty. and no self repecting man, in his first film would wear a beret and prance around. puhleez.

the other man in question is harman baweja. that's right. he looks and sounds like a particularly drab sweetshop in lajpat nagar. the clothes are hideous. i mean black see through vests and tight leather pants went out with the tapori in rangeela. the hair looks like it really needs a wash. i have nothing against punjabi beefcake, but this is cake made in the pressure cooker with ghee.

actually the only saving grace with both these guys is the stubble. it hides most of their face, and reduces the strain on your eyes.

okay. so maybe i'm being harsh, but the point is what happened to good old character, eccentricities, something about the guy that would catch your eye. something that would at least set him apart from all the clones we have.

like...like...like mimoh!!!
