The Nasty Pig Holiday Commercial Pulled From NYC Cable TV

This is the “holiday” Nasty Pig clothing line commercial that aired four times in New York City (on the gay-centric Logo Channel) on Time Warner Cable before being yanked for being too “suggestive.”

Bearded and shirtless Tom Hardy covers May issue of Esquire

A bearded, shirtless Tom Hardy covers the May issue of Esquire in advance of his new film Locke.

Surprisingly, Hardy says he’s not the rough and touch he-man  he plays in many of his roles:

“I have always been frightened with men,” Hardy said. “To the point where I couldn’t go into a gym because of the testosterone and I felt weak.”

“I don’t feel very manly,” he continued. “I don’t feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how I imagine a man ought to be. So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality.

“People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them.”
The actor opened up about ‘not feeling manly.’ Greg Williams The actor opened up about ‘not feeling manly’ among othe men in the gym.

“I’m not a fighter. I’m a petit little bourgeois boy from London,” he added. “I don’t fight, I mimic.”

Tom also talks frankly about substance abuse issues he faced earlier in life:

“I am f—ing lucky to be here, to be honest. Any near-death experience — if you’re lucky enough to f—ing realize that it is one — is going to leave an indelible mark on you. And then you add shame and guilt and fear into that, it’s a recipe for awareness if you have the ability to become aware from it. And good things can come back into your life.”

Boy Friend Twin

Thanks to Towleroad, who shares this Tumblr account called “BoyFriendTwin” where couples who bare striking resemblances to each other share photos of themselves.

Because, as the site says “What’s sexier than dating yourself?”

Actually, while there are some very attractive couples on the site, I’ve personally never been one to date someone who looks like me.  I’ve always been attracted to someone who’s more “the opposite” of my physical self.

And I do know several couples who DEFINITELY fulfill the “doppelganger” label.

Anyway, take at look at the couples below (and many more at the site).  What do you think?  Is dating “yourself” sexy?
