Revolt of the Geeks

Okay, fashion devotees:  you have recognized that the industry has acquiesced to the wishes--demands--of the size +52 set and no longer employs anorexic models.  We are back to the Titian style in women.

And that's fine, we're okay with that.  But how, a viewer writes, about guy models?  When do we start seeing seing real men in fashion advertisements for Polo, Perry Ellis, Boss--huh?
Instead of models looking like Brad Pitt or George Clooney, let us see balding guys with paunches, the way most men really look.  Woody Allen is good for some sizes; the late Dom De Luise for others.

Fashion directors:  Looking for  the male-of-today model?  Look no further than one of the stars of  "Ocean's 11, 12, and 13."  We point, of course, not to Clooney or Pitt or Damon or Garcia,  but to Carl Reiner.

Stats for male models from the P.D. group:  chest 23"; waist 38"; hips 52".

Is this is a real guy or is this a real guy?  Bidding war now open.
