making newspapers sexy

i have to admit i fell for buying the people magazine that lists its 2007 picks for sexiest men alive.

therein, tom ford, ceo and fashion designer, says one of the five things a sexy man needs is a daily newspaper. “a sexy man needs to be informed.”

mm-k. when i went to link to his site, i have to say he believes in sexy: there was a warning for sexually explicit images. and believe me, they are.

(fyi, the image above is from askmen.com.)
