In the May issue of GQ magazine, you will find another article written by a woman (this one is by Lauren Bans) that seems to take offense of the men that appear shirtless in television/movies. (Last fall, Julieanne Smolinski wrote about too much nudity in film, also in GQ). They do not mention True Blood, but they show a picture of Alcide (Joe Manganiello) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) as “Supernatural Himbos.” They do show a larger picture from Magic Mike (Joe included).
They say a “himbo” is a man that is more attractive than he is smart. I don’t think anyone is arguing Magic Mike is going to be held in high esteem as say, The King’s Speech or The Artist, but let’s face it: it’s going to be one wild night out with your best girlfriends. If the article was just concerned with men appearing as “himbos” it wouldn’t be so bad, but the article itself is under the subject of GQ Intelligence as “Dummies”. What makes men so dumb for taking off their shirt?

The trailer for Magic Mike was finally released this week. I’m very excited to see it, as many of my friends, family & co-workers are too. Do any of you already have a set Girls Night Out to watch this movie?
We wish there was more of Joe Manganiello in the trailer, but we’re sure we’ll be seeing plenty of him when the movie comes out June 29th. (Seriously, with a character name like “Big Dick Richie”, we expect a lot of you Joe!)
The movie also stars Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer and Adam Rodriguez.
