Beauty and the . . .

by Michael O. Allen on March 19, 2008

Dwill at Sports on My Mind has already covered this a lot better than I will. Others have chimed in. Tom Withers, in an Associated Press report picked up by Huffingtonpost, breathlessly reported that “The Cleveland Cavaliers’ superstar will appear on the April cover of Vogue, joining actors Richard Gere and George Clooney as the only men to do so in the influential fashion magazine’s 116-year history.”

If we agree that these magazines sell fantasy, here are Lebron and Gisele in the image below. The next image, which was forwarded to me, comes courtesy of Amazon.com. George Clooney and I don’t know who are in the last image. Clooney is in a suit, a smile on his face, a woman in his embrace. Whatever is going on with Ms. Bundchen, how did Lebron end up with the yell, in workout clothes?

A-Rod is on the cover of Men’s Vogue.

The covers are twins — Kong is holding a baseball bat it looks like. I blame Lebron for this. It’s a horrible cover, and there’s almost unanimous consensus about it.
