How appropriate that Esquire's second annual "best-dressed issue" would carry an ad that is generating controversy for what is not being worn: something to fully cover the male models' pubes.
Over a span of four pages, the Dolce & Gabbana hunks wear progressively fewer and fewer articles of clothing until the final page, which showcases four shirtless guys, a couple of whom are showing off their coordination between carpet and curtains. (The hall of mirrors in which they pose also gives a few glimpses of America's crack epidemic.)
Clearly, Details has given someone an "inqueeriority" complex!
The Malcontent has the (final page of the) ad in all its glory -- without the Texas media prudes' quite-literal figleaf ... after the jump ...

I think it looks pretty hot! God, I really hope the shaving fad is over...

I wanna see this catch on.
But... only for those that have something to show.
Unfortunately like most sexy fads the only guys buying this shit will be old and/or flabby and/or wrinkled much like the type of saggy-breasted women who ended up buying those belly button exposing half shirts and low-slung jeans last summer. Remember having to be exposed to all that flab. Was that emotionally scarring or what?

Arguably, I can totally understand how a little bit of body hair on super-fit male models would be a lot more offensive to Bible-beating folks than say... kids dying for oil in Iraq or the price of gas hitting $3. Priorities, priorities.
Personally, I'd much rather see sexy people looking sexy on pages of magazines than gross pasty people wearing K-mart leftovers at the beach.
But hey. If people want to bitch about pubic hairs shown in a magazine they would have never bought in the first place, I guess that's their prerogative.
As for the flab thing, I'm not... ready to talk about it. *sniff*

I love the pubes. I also love shaven. All is good so long as they're fit. Are these ads being shot by Athen Grey? It looks similar to his work: http://www.athengreyimaging.com.

When reading GQ and othe magizines that feature D & G, the first thing I look for before reading any article is the D & G ad. I think that the Dolce & Gabbana ads are extremely hot and sexy. However, recently I have seen them toning it down a little...I hope this isn't the case. Fashion is beautiful with clothes and with less clothes!

Who cares. Fader magazine did a spread with Alicia Keys 4 years ago that showed the top of her pubes and nobody batted an eyelid.
Its just hair. As long as I don't see partial SHAFT peaking through.. and its not on a BILLBOARD somewhere and im literally forced to look at it then I couldn't give a fuck less.
Keep on keepin' on.
