Book Synopsis The Story of Men's Underwear by : Shaun Cole
Download or read book The Story of Men's Underwear written by Shaun Cole and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men’s fashion, particularly the trends involving undergarments, was once reserved for the elite; today it has become democratised, clear proof of social progress.The aestheticism of the body so highly valued by the Greeks seems to have regained a prominent place in the masculine world. Mirroring the evolution of society’s values, the history of underwear also highlights the continuous, dancing exchange that exists between women’s styles and men’s fashion. Undergarments are concealed, flaunted, stretched or shortened, establishing a game between yesterday’s illicit and today’s chic and thereby denouncing the sense of disgrace that these simple pieces of clothing used to betray. In this work, Shaun Cole endeavours to re-establish for the first time, through well-researched socio-economic analysis, the importance of men’s underwear in the history of costume from ancient times to today. A reflection of technological progress, this study is full of surprises and powerful reflections on man’s relationship with his body.
Book Synopsis The Male Gazed by : Manuel Betancourt
Download or read book The Male Gazed written by Manuel Betancourt and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring deep dives into thirst traps, drag queens, Antonio Banderas, and telenovelas—all in the service of helping us reframe how we talk about (desiring) men—this insightful memoir-in-essays is as much a coming of age as a coming out book Manuel Betancourt has long lustfully coveted masculinity—in part because he so lacked it. As a child in Bogotá, Colombia, he grew up with the social pressure to appear strong, manly, and, ultimately, straight. And yet in the films and television he avidly watched, Betancourt saw glimmers of different possibilities. From the stars of telenovelas and the princes of Disney films to pop sensation Ricky Martin and teen heartthrobs in shows like Saved By the Bell, he continually found himself asking: Do I want him or do I want to be him? The Male Gazed grapples with the thrall of masculinity, examining its frailty and its attendant anxieties even as it focuses on its erotic potential. Masculinity, Betancourt suggests, isn’t suddenly ripe for deconstruction—or even outright destruction—amid so much talk about its inherent toxicity. Looking back over decades’ worth of pop culture’s attempts to codify and reframe what men can be, wear, do, and desire, this book establishes that to gaze at men is still a subversive act. Written in the spirit of Hanif Abdurraqib and Olivia Laing, The Male Gazed mingles personal anecdotes with cultural criticism to offer an exploration of intimacy, homoeroticism, and the danger of internalizing too many toxic ideas about masculinity as a gay man.
Download or read book Creep written by Jonathan Alexander and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative book, Jonathan Alexander interweaves personal narrative and cultural analyses to explore what it means to be a creep. Calling this work a critical memoir, he draws on his own experiences growing up gay in the deep south, while also interrogating examples from literature and popular film and media, to approach the figure of the creep with some sympathy. Ranging widely over contemporary culture, especially the ever-creeping presence of nearly ubiquitous surveillance, Alexander confesses his own creepiness while also explaining to us what being creepy can show us in turn about our culture. He also resurrects some famous "creeps" from the past, such as J.R. Ackerley, to explore what makes a creep creepy, and how even the best of us succumb at times to being creeps
Book Synopsis White Leather and Flawed Pearls by : Susan Altstatt
Download or read book White Leather and Flawed Pearls written by Susan Altstatt and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He said he'd be back in three years. She's eighteen now, and doesn't need anybody's permission to elope with a rock star. He's drug-free and grateful. They drive to Nevada and get married. His lead guitarist, Harlan Parr, is honest enough to be grateful also. If a man can feel grateful and vindictive all at once. Susan Altstatt's second novel, White Leather and Flawed Pearls, is a showcase for three characters who find themselves in a complex romantic triangle. Tommi Rhymer and Harlan Parr have been lovers since before they formed the rock duo Belshangles, at the top of the charts in 1986. Then there's Andy (Miranda) Falconer, Tommi's fan of seven years and wife of seven days. Problem: Tom is due back in London. Andy has no passport. He insists someone of his entourage stay with her till she gets one. Who volunteers? Harlan Parr. Three years ago, Andy shanghaied Tommi when he passed out in the alley beside her car, and kept him cooped up in her parents' mountain cabin. That crude intervention scared him sober. Harlan had been unable to wean him off the drugs, so he just joined him. Amazingly, both are now clean. Tommi admires Andy no end for what she did to him. (Harlan calls it the Stockholm syndrome.) Tommi regrets his lifestyle: he can have anybody he wants, and usually does. Andy is his off-ramp from the sexual fast lane. But Tommi is in London. Harlan takes charge. Andy needs a wedding dress for her grand second wedding in Westminster Cathedral, plus a wardrobe befitting a rock star spouse. Privately, Harlan needs to know if he can live with Andy married to his partner. So begins a series of madcap adventures-à-deux around San Francisco, Harlan as mentor, a guitar-wizard fairy godfather with unlimited funds to effect Andy's metamorphosis. To her distress, she finds herself falling in love. White Leather and Flawed Pearls is a welcome sequel to Ms. Altstatt’s debut novel, Belshangles, published in the fall of 2015. The characters of the first novel reappear in the second, after three years spent in different continents. Each of the two novels can be read as a standalone, or they can be read in either order. Chances are if you read White Leather and Flawed Pearls first, you’ll be hooked; you’ll seek out Belshangles, if only to spend more time with some of the most original and entertaining people you’ve met inside or outside a book.

Best of all, you’ll find that reviewing your life story helps you think about what you’re doing with your time on Earth and whether you’re on the right path. It isn’t too late to improve the narrative with a stronger ending. Telling your story your way can be the best gift you ever give to friends and loved ones—and yourself.

Book excerpt: “Diane Shah was a boots-on-the-ground female sports reporter in the Cro-Magnon 1970s and brings it all back in this hilarious, well-crafted book.” —Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe sports columnist and New York Times bestselling author Strike fast, strike hard—whether it’s scoring a homerun or front-page news, Diane K. Shah, former sports columnist, knows how to grab the best story. In her memoir A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps, follow Diane’s escapades, from interviews with a tipsy Mickey Mantle, to sneaking into off-limits Republican galas, dining with Frank Sinatra, flying a plane with Dennis Quaid, and countless other adventures where she wields her tape recorder and a tireless drive for more. From skirting KGB agents while covering the Cold War Olympics to hunting down the three mechanical sharks starring in Jaws, Diane’s experiences are filled with real heart and a tongue-in-cheek attitude.

The only thing better than reading Diane K. Shah’s memoir was, I suppose, living it.” —Sally Jenkins, columnist and feature writer, Washington Post “Diane’s memoir is just like her columns—smart, funny, enlightening—just like her. Until reading it, I never really knew all the challenges she dealt with. She broke ground but never acted like it. I was lucky to work with the first female sports columnist in the country.” —Ken Gurnick, LA Dodgers correspondent for MLB.com
