skywardprodigal: Beautiful seated woman, laughing, in Vlisco. (Default)
Yesterday, I updated East Asia of The Dailies. The newest sections are Kazunari Ninomiya, Masaki Aiba, Matsumoto Jun, Sakurai Sho, Satoshi Ohno, and Ryo Nishikido.

This was, like, my least favorite update of The Dailies, ever. And I caught myself thinking, "You've got some nerve hating on anyone's looks. Who do you think you are anyway?" My own thoughts, they were of 'ick' to me.

I was so unhappy about it, I mean, these guys aren't people I would ever look at twice except to wonder why anybody would fuck up their hair like that. But, they're very popular on lj and they are East Asian, so into the index they went. In my self-pitying bitching with [livejournal.com profile] silverthorne, I started throwing up links to guys I thought hot that were also up at The Dailies. She's an artist, and like [livejournal.com profile] tvismyfandom, is really good at breaking down what one is looking at and why. Eventually, what she broke down for me was as follows: "You like beautiful men. They will never be mistaken for women. All of those guys you pointed me to would look horrible in drag. The ones you don't like? Would make beautiful women. You don't like the competition." Ya know, I never thought of myself that liked "manly" men. In fact, I would have sworn that I wouldn't be able to recognize manly if it was in my face...And I was RIGHT!

There are many different ways to be beautiful, and I don't have the eyes to appreciate it all.

Anyway, did I miss any other popular pop idols that are worshipped on lj? Have I missed any other people on lj?

I don't recommend reading some of the commentary at the actual forums. The stupid that can be found gets to me. And I'm sensitive, in some respects, so...for the most part, I look at the pictures and don't make it a point to read much beyond identifying information (as to photographer, magazine, models, designers, source).
