David Beckham
Because Style Ain’t Always About the Clothes
Sometimes it’s about carriage. Attitude. Swagger. Beckham’s simply got it—what soccer coaches call intangibles and we call style. The haircut and stubble help. So does the physique. He’s got it even when he’s thrown his shirt in the crowd and is wearing nothing more than a pair of shorts and his game face.
Robert Pattinson
The Best Head of Hair on the Planet
Young Rob’s probably got the best head of hair since James Dean, and he lets it fly. And the clothes? A pair of jeans, a T-shirt, an unbuttoned and untucked plaid shirt...That’s it. He dresses his age (23); he dresses to his strengths; he dresses so you don’t give a damn about how he’s dressed.
Tom Brady
The Power of the Rugged Look
“I don’t like it when I’m so clean-shaven; it just feels very...raw. I love that day-old or two-day-old beard. Gisele? Well, I think she likes the way the beard looks, but she doesn’t like the way it feels—it pokes her face.”

“Guido look”

When we normally think about advertisement and who they are mostly advertised too we would think women, whether be clothing, house hold or even children things truth be told even male things are advertised towards females, shockingly that is correct but over the past couple of years we have seen the many different changes that have been going on around us, like that sensational hit’s “Jersey Shore”, ”Tool Academy” and many other television shows of such context we’ve seen how the men that participate in these shows have different hair styles and styles but never the less they are all masculine. When we take a look at male magazines such as GQ we see how they have come up with a list of different types of hair styles that are considered masculine, it’s an elaborate piece that gives a description of various styles in which the reader can pick and choice from the one “he” would feel more familiar with it describes each style from head to toe and to finalize it give you the type of hair style that is more appropriate for the style.
It’s an unfamiliar term of events that’s has been happening, the reason why I use the term “unfamiliar” is because when articles such magnitude where published for men they were considered to be homosexual and now they are considered informational. Even from the way they are published to the way it’s worded it projects such strong masculine rough edges to it. Like quoting the descriptions of David Beckham it starts out by saying “Because Style Ain’t Always About the Clothes” and it goes on by saying “Sometimes it’s about carriage, attitude, swagger. Beckham” simply got it”. This introduction itself screams out clearly “the perfect description of what makes men” we can see how they are trying really hard to not lose that masculinity sound.

  1. This seems to be a brain storming exercise which is great but I hope you have completed your research(based on the information above it doesn't seem like it. Also,I urge you to review the MLA format), composed an outline(Due 10/29)and you are working on your first draft. This post does not satisfy the first draft requirements.
    You are making interesting observations about the media portrayal of young men in reality television shows, but what is the connection to GQ's advice on men's grooming styles? You refer to an article from GQ which lists different hair styles but you do not provide a title?
    I like your example of D.Beckham but why is his look appealing? Masculine? What type of masculinity have you identified in 2010 GQ magazine? What are your secondary sources?
