Who Wore It Best?

I contemplated needing to myself own one of the Loewe "I Told Ya" t-shirts that play a big role in Luca Guadagnino's tennis film Challengers... and then I saw that they retail for $300 and I decided no, notsomuch. I love the movie but it's a fucking t-shirt and I am too poor and too smart for that nonsense. That said actor and pretty young thing Manu Rios just posted a photo of himself wearing it (I doubt he had to pay for it) and I remembered that Loewe was ripping off a tee that noted perfect piece of ass John F. Kennedy Jr. wore back in the 90s and voila, a poll arose:

I Dream of John-John

Didja all see the news that Ryan Murphy is planning on making a limited-series called American Love Story that will tell the story of John F. Kennedy Jr's tragic romance with Carolyn Bessette? Yes I might be using this news as an excuse to post more pictures of John-John gracing Central Park with his hirsute presence back in the 90s, and what of it? Anyway this project is obviously impossible since there is no man on Earth who could play that man convincingly. Y'all come at me in the comments with suggestions (especially if you link to pictures of men who vaguely look like this!) but I'll accept nobody. He was one of a kind perfect.

Good Morning, World

(click to embiggen) Some days, some nights, some mid-afternoon teas, you just need a John-John fix (does anybody else hear "John-John" in the voice of Elaine Benes?), and last evening for me was one of them. I tweeted out four shots of the original prince of the tides John F. Kennedy Jr. in short-shorts (you can see that below) but I set aside this shot of him wandering the rocks of some no-doubt upscale schooning and fishing village in nothing but some tighty-whities for us this morning, as a treat. There are other shots from this moment that has thankfully been suspended in forever time thanks to modern technology, and you can find them if you lose yourself in our miniature but substantial enough JFK Jr. Archives at this link. I want back to this timeline.

Jackie 2: The John-John-ening

.

Now that Pablo Larraín has gone and somehow successfully made a biopic tackling one of the tougher political nuts to crack - I'd argue that making a good movie about Jackie and her enigmatic legacy is tougher than making one about her husband would be (not to mention far harder to cast so major props to Natalie for not dropping the ball!) - we turn our eyes to all we could think about in the film's later scenes as Little John-John showed up... that is to say... 

... Big John-John. I want a Junior Movie now! Or I want an excuse to post some (more) shirtless pictures of him - whichever, doesn't matter, one of the two. But I don't really know who could play him, since in his prime there was no one handsomer, ever, before or since. Any suggestions? Oh and hit the jump for another dozen or so pictures since that's what you're really here looking for...

15 Years

.

JFK Jr. died fifteen years ago today. Every time I'm in Central Park I mourn the fact that I never got to see him running around there half naked. See lots of that here.

Fassy Kennedy

.

Fernando Meirelles, the director of City of God and Blindness and The Constant Gardener, is making a movie based on the book Nemesis: The True Story of Aristotle Onassis, Jackie O, and the Love Triangle That Brought Down the Kennedys, which is about exactly what that excessively long title says it is about. Apparently Bobby Kennedy hated Onassis or something. Anyway Meirelles tweeted his desire the other day for Michael Fassbender to play Bobby (via). Whether that was kidding or wishful thinking or just another expression of the current all-consuming lust for constant Fassbender which we are all infected with, there it is. So?

That last option was just an excuse to post this pic of JFK Jr.

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... sunning with John-John.

Gratuitous JFK Jr.

.

In case it wasn't clear by this morning's mood, I'm feeling a little run-over today. Two Thom Yorke concerts two nights in a row took a lot out of this little man. (Oh I know, cue the world's tiniest violin armada.) Anyway I'm not here to whine (about my awesome life), I'm here to say that I'm not feeling especially imaginative this fine April afternoon. Thankfully I stumbled upon this link here, where an enormous gallery of John F. Kennedy Jr. pictures that were new to me awaited.


Now, that link is annoying for two reasons. First, you've gotta click through one by one by one, and that's annoying. Especially since they have over 160 pictures. I mean, I'm not doing anything, but y'all might have places to go or people to see, and maybe you need it condensed to the good stuff. That's what I'm here for. (Oh but before I get to that, the second reason the link's annoying is the pictures aren't big enough. Course, with JFK Jr. the only thing that'd equal "big enough" would be life-size, reanimated, and standing beside me, but that's beside the point.) Anyway! I picked out the good ones - which, considering JFK Jr. was The Perfect Man, there are lots of. Seriously. A lot.

But it's lunch-time, so turn off your brain and let that blood flow other places, ya know? And click the tag at the end of the post if you need even more (in which case, good grief!)

JFK Jr. Three Times

.Via Kenneth, who's asking the eternal boxer v. brief question.

I say when it comes to John-John, any answer is the right one,
up to and including neither. Most definitely including neither.

to have ever lived (or died for that matter), click here.

Consider This Make-Up Sex

.

So I needed a couple days off. My brain was in an insupportable state of mushiness. I will make it up to you with pictures of a dead man. But the hottest dead man to have ever lived! That's right - ever. I said it.

Oh John-John.
