I would argue that he DID wear a tuxedo, and a gown.

Makes sense to me. Especially since he changed out the dress for the palazzo pants later on.
Turns out Siriano did a lot of the red carpet clothes for the Oscars. Not all had skirts either. Whatâs impressive is although you can start to see some themes if you look at the photos on his Twitter feed, theyâre not cookie cutter.
Iâd love to see him do more stuff for men.

aha! thank you. FTA:
âI wore it with Rick Owens shoes. Rick is very gender-bending and rockânâroll. Itâs a high, 6-inch chunky boot that makes me feel really grounded.â
fucking hell â i donât care HOW chunky that heel is⌠iâve worn 5" ones, and you can still take quite a fall in a 5" chunky heel. but SIX inches? heâs a damn rock star.

thatâs sort of the theme of âkinky bootsââŚ
which he starred in.

That moment when I realize that Ricardo MontalbĂĄn was fine back in the day:
Seriously; I had no clue that Mr. Rourke/Khan Noonien Singh had it going on like that when he was young.

I remember that ep; I was about 10 years old when I first saw it.
By that point, he was already too⌠advanced for me to notice any sexual appeal he had; plus the overdone bronzer/brownface they had caked on him was really distracting and off-putting.
(The bad wig didnât help, either.)
O_O
Other than that one episode, I never saw any images of him as a younger man until now.

Yeah, 1960s studio lighting with that film stock and those green walls never did anyone any favours.

I know Montabaln grew up on a farm, and that makes me inclined to believe it.

I never knew that was a âgreat mysteryâ to some folks. Watching him move around in the film, it was obviously just his own body in the costume.
At least to me, anyway.
This quote is just fuckinâ creepy:
âI never asked,â Meyer says. âI just copped a feel.â
O_O
So am I, just looking at his images over the years; he clearly kept in shape even once he got older.

I think in the Wrath of Khan, I always assumed that it was a breast plate due to the strategic placement of the necklace that he always wore, to hide the seam. Not that I gave it a lot of thought. I was never too enamored of his rich, Corinthian leather.

When he moved, I could see the skin crease and fold slightly.
(Hi-def is a helluva tool.)
Not that I gave it a lot of thought before now, either.

I havenât seen the movie in years, though I did go to its premiere. For some reason, it was held in Stamford, Connecticut, and my friends and I somehow managed to score tickets. I canât remember if it was before or after, but they even had an auction for a bunch of the movie props, and although I was too broke to buy anything, a friend of mine won some original matte paintings of a terraformed cave that was key scenery.

Trippy, and very cool.
I was like 6, and not the least bit interested in Star Trek or Star Wars yet.

It seems shirtless was a requirement for his acting roles.

Hey thatâs no fair⌠Iâve seen parts of Doctor Zhivago.
But seriously, though:
While he had obvious physical appeal in his day, Sharifâs aesthetic just doesnât move me; whereas if I had been born 20-25 years earlier, Iâd have totally fangirled over the likes of MontalbĂĄn and Yul Brynner, whom I mentioned upthread.
