Gingerganza!



[Poll #1652935]

Ginger beauty is highly underrated. I didn't know anyone ginger growing up in Brasil so it was a bit of a novelty meeting so many when I moved to England (especially through LJ). Yes, yes, "many of my closest friends are ginger," etc. I always flinch when I hear a prejudiced comment against anyone with red hair so I hope this post will go some way in changing people's perceptions of how hot ginger (guys in this case) can be.

This post is mostly dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] the_meanest_cat, who started a chat with me in [livejournal.com profile] moral_vacuum's journal about how ginger men - Mick Hucknall notwithstanding - are quite attractive.

Feel free to add more names and pictures in the comments section. Have I left anyone out other than Prince Harry? (Who I decided not to include thanks to off putting photos on Google Image).

YUCK! i may read his books, but this this guy makes me wanna vomit! the looks like The Killer.
i'm sure his next book will be "4 Hour Murder: how to kill any one, any where...and get away with it!"
i respectfully petition for him to be removed from this sainted list before he taints my precious eric stoltz.

Lol... Ok.

I've spent the afternoon plunging into this rabbit hole (following you)... are you sure he's not a scam artist?!?!

im sorry. i have to find a way not to terrorize everyone following me with that stuff. i know, i know. im only gonna follow the diet for a month, so it wont be much more.

he's definitely not a scam artist. he's just an immature sociopath who is obsessed with finding all the "hacks" for life. i found his last book 4 Hour Body really helpful and this new book has some good ideas too. that said, i would never want to be alone in an elevator with him or anything. he scares the hell outta me.

I thought some of the topics and discussions in his blog really interesting and worth reflecting on, but he isn't any different from a lot of confidence experts that have come before him. I'm reminded of this guy in the 90s - forget his name now (really really tall guy) - who was hugely popular. It's the same schtick coated with a different sauce. His 4 Hour Body book made me think of the Atkins phenomenon!!

(I'm going 6 days a week to the gym at the moment - loads of cardio work - and I think a lot about you being my gym buddy in a more perfect parallel universe!) :-)

well four hour body is not really just the diet, because he didnt invent that diet. it's called "slow-carb" and has been around for a while. four hour body is more about some level of mastery of the body in the areas of weight loss and gain (because he helps people who want to get bigger do that too, and that eating plan is different from the weight loss one and is not low carb), sex, sleep, agility, and life-span.

atkins was a doctor and a trained nutritionist and similar ideas about eating are all over (see art de vany, gary taubes). tim ferriss is just a rich kid with OCD, absolute neurosis, narcissism, and a lot of time on his hands.

p.s. i'd love to be your gym buddy, but count me out for cardio. the weight room is my haunt of choice! ;)
