A MATTER OF PRIDE

In this week's Now Magazine is a four-colour supplement titled "Pride Guide 2010". Needless to say, I spent some time scrutinizing the welcome addition to my magazine rack.

What struck me about the abundant photos was that snaps of revelers (posing for the camera) from past Pride Days depict people who generally don't exactly fit the bill or stereotype of those who look as though they spend a lot of time in the gym -- lots of extra weight and handles for careful handling. Of course, the "dedicated" adverts show engaged men who are rather buff and toned; in addition to looking as though they cannot wait for the photographer to leave the room.

Back to my guide...


(Now I know why I get hit on all the time.)
