What a Pretty, Pretty Cowboy

Not a lot of male cover models make me go, “Ooh… I’d like to take a bite out of him”. But ohh… look at this man… so very, very pretty. Do you think the other cowboys make fun of him and say shit like, “Well, hello, Miss Pretty Priss. We brung you some flowers today.” Dude looks like a Chippendale stripper or something. I bet when he’s on stage, he wears the chaps without the jeans. Ha ha. He’s so hairless and smooth, like a prepubescent boy. I bet he smells like Ivory soap and baby powder. Don’t you love his thousand-yard stare like he’s actually capable of profound thought? [Look at me, being all prejudiced against pretty people!] But wait… is that a pencil thin mustache above his upper lip? Oh, that’s so gross. That just ruins everything, damn it! Stupid cowboy. I bet when they’re out herding cows or whatever, this cowboy sleeps in his own tent and padlocks it shut just in case the other cowboys get other ideas when it gets cold in the nighttime. Oh, who am I kidding? This dude has never seen a real cow in his entire life. Maybe the title is saying “Once he was a cowboy… for like… five minutes, then he went to LA and became an Abercrombie and Fitch model”. Good times.

You may thank the lovely Amber for this cover.

    Dunno, shirt reminds me of Urban Cowboy! Just needs a few rhinestones!

    I’d not kick that man out of my bed, though.

    ;)

    there’s something about chaps… i think it’s that whole “framing” aspect.
    and i bet that’s a chocolate milk mustache…

    Dude doesn’t even have hair on his arms, but they let him try to pencil in some upper lip stubble? Gross.

    I actually think he’s kind of hot. (ducks).

    He reminds me of those burnout guys in high school who drank Natural Light and wore muscle t-shirts, and when they dressed up they all wore their shirts unbuttoned and pushed their jacket sleeves up past the elbows. Like, um, Hubie Pyatt in The Legend of Billie Jean, or the guy who took Stacey’s virginity in Fast Times. (I’ve totally got one face in my head and I cannot for the life of me remember it.)

    They were the guys I had crushes on when I was in 7th grade, so this sort of clean-cut sleaze still rings a little bell.

    I liked this cover at first, but then I realized who the guy reminded me of - David Beckham. Now all I can hear is his stupid whiny voice when I look at the cover. Damnit!

    Helen, I think he looks more like Reichen Lehmkuhl, former Amazing Race contestant, boyfriend to Lance Bass of N’Sync, and reality show famewhore.

    And now I’m going to kill myself for knowing all of that.

    Bam, I see it, but Beckham’s annoying voice is will not leave me alone. (Maybe because I have no idea what Reichen sounds like…though I am sure I watched at least some of that season of Amazing Race…)

    And I have no idea why, but I found this bit of the wiki entry absurdly funny: “Lehmkuhl was working simultaneously as a Physics teacher … flight instructor and model”.

    “I bet he smells like Ivory soap and baby powder.”

    LOL! It does look to me like he’s posing for a Brokeback Mountain moment. :)

    I’d drink a Natty Light with him. What the hell, my saddle needs a little polishing.
