Modern Men Embrace Plastic Surgery — Will Your Wardrobe Be Next?
Making Life Easier in Old Age
Let’s stop idolizing footballer Kelce, whose recent fame might just get him a spot in the restroom. His next role could very well be at the singer’s side — or wherever she chooses to position him.
Here are a few more things that irritate me. I’m not throwing shade. Not even casting it on surgeons. What I mean is that today’s grandfathers are embracing trends.
Don’t get me started on Dolly Parton’s cosmetic specialist or Jane Fonda’s enhancements. We rarely discuss the unlikely event of Tom Cruise managing a daring leap off his usual fast-paced train with the legs of a 62-year-old and the cheeks of an 11-year-old.
Men these days are sporting earrings, bracelets, rings, pins, hairpieces, furs, stylish coats, ruffled shirts, humorous tees, heels, feathered hats, untucked blouses, designer underwear, smart jackets, and even girdles. They’ve got long hair and are making flirty advances wearing your own outfits.
What will be next? False eyelashes? They’re welcome to mine.
The real issue lies in romance. It’s no longer easy to tell if a guy is happy or excited. How can you ascertain that certain areas of his anatomy will respond when his face remains still?
Men are increasingly opting for surgery to address gynecomastia. Traditional masculine ideals are shifting, and no man wants a chest that resembles Kim Kardashian’s. According to plastic surgeon Dr. David Shokrian, liposuction can restore a flatter appearance.
Minor enhancements might also be seen in the likes of Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig, George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, and John Travolta.
Wayne Newton has explored all options — face-lifts, eye lifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, Botox. The only thing left would be a modification to a belly button.
For an athletic vibe with enhanced muscle definition in the abdomen and chest — so you can lift her up before, after, or even during — there’s body contouring and high-definition liposuction. I’m not clear on what defines an athletic look, but this procedure claims to achieve it.
Jawline enhancement utilizes non-invasive fillers — similar to what your girlfriend opts for.
Next on the list is eyelid surgery. If your eyelids sag, she might begin to question if other things are sagging as well.
By tightening your eyelids, you gain clearer visibility on what you’re doing. Don’t forget to add some Botox.
Just make sure to avoid scheduling his-and-hers procedures on the same day. Bumping into each other all bandaged up might ruin any future intimate moments.
A Religious Perspective
I’ve previously reported on “The Chosen: Last Supper,” a significant film phenomenon depicting the story through the eyes of those who knew Jesus.
I’ve had the opportunity to interview Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus of Nazareth. I’ve visited Israel, Nazareth, and Bethlehem — and here’s what I’ve discovered:
In this film, Israel embraces Jesus, and the disciples look forward to his ascension. However, instead of confronting the Romans, he takes aim at the Jewish religious and political figures.
As I’ve noted before, this cinematic version of Jesus met me clad in a rather irreverent black leather short jacket adorned with silver zippers, pull tabs, and decorative trim. Absolutely fitting for Bushwick.
He had just conversed with Cardinal Dolan, who had opted for a different outfit and later recounted their discussion to me.
His Eminence remarked: “I asked what it’s like to make him feel like he’s Jesus when we’re all supposed to emulate him. He recalled his time in Catholic school.”
Personally, I suspect he snagged his jacket on sale — at what used to be St. Lord & Taylor.
A panhandler requested a quarter. The passerby replied that he lacked change but would gladly treat him to breakfast. The panhandler responded, “Buddy, I’ve already had three breakfasts. What I really need is cash.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
