    Are there any more pictures of the campaign?
    How is it that you are getting offended by a theoretical situation in which Jayden Smith was a transvestite?

    This picture belongs in the WTF thread because it is cringeworthy, the styling choices, the poses, the clothing, everything about it, at least in my opinion; is laughable. Nothing about this screams "challenging gender stereotypes", it screams "look at how progressive and forward we are" without being progressive or forward in the least.

    Also, holy shit, QFT, thank you.

      I’m not offended. It just baffled me, how having a man model women’s clothes is new after it has been done this way or the other way around so many times.
      You’re right, the only cringeworthy elements of this photograph are the awkward poses, the composition etc.

          Spot on. This is nonsensical, hype marketing. Also, the image does little to help mainstream Jayden's point of view because of the poor choices noted by round. No one wins with this one.

            funny thing is, if you try to donate to goodwill, they probably wouldn't take them

              So Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, seems to be wearing a cuban heel style boot...and it became a NYTimes front page story when other Republican candidates reacted negatively. What a country some of us live in

                i think they read a bit far into it in that article, but it's also a testament to the pettiness amplified and not exclusive to us politics. i found that to be the case in a lot of real, human, visceral interactions there, even in the relatively-progressive seattle.

                  Only 3 of the candidates reacted and it was jokingly. Nothing negative about it.

                    I think men in heels is an interesting topic now. As quite a few designers are pushing them - SLP, Haider, the new A.F. Vandevorst collections (I have a pair actually)

                    As there is a breaking down of what certain gender's can wear, I can only see the negative reactions growing as well. Luckily I haven't had anything serious or particularly offensive said to me (yet).

                      I think cuban heels look very cool if your style goes with it and I’m sure heels in general can look good on men. After all, it has its perks:

                      "When the soldier stood up in his stirrups, the heel helped him to secure his stance so that he could shoot his bow and arrow more effectively,"
                      Taken from this article about the history of heels on men’s shoes.

                        Am I missing something or is this video just plain boring and crappy?

                          I haven't got the ending at all but 'you are beautiful' message in the end-middle was okay. However boring indeed.

                                I´m guessing it´s a "that guy on the picture is gonna be wearing these??!!"
