Tamara’s Semi-Nude Arab Men

She’ll probably hate it if/when she reads this, but there is something über sexy about Tamara Abdul Hadi’s photos for her "Picture an Arab Man" project.

Beyond waking up my gay man’s wildest fantasies, it also does a good job at what it aims to do: “Breaking down stereotypes” and “highlighting the sensual beauty of the Arab man”.

But if I may ask, why does it have to be the choice of Lebanese models that most challenges the “out-dated form of hyper-masculinity”, with the long hair and the soft eyes?


 
Akhhh…what I wouldn’t do for Mohamed the Palestinian! I feel like pledging some money just for him :)

GiB#2 | Play That Glowstick

Finally. At last. They invented it. From now on, I can follow the light and never, ever lose it in the dark again.

GiB#2 | Be a PLAYBOY and Get Some PUSSY

B-rated local Red Bull energy drinks… just what the Lebanese dude needs to get through a hectic summer.

Do gay men eat fastfood?

Using the LGBT cause to win customers is quite debatable. The following TVC was launched by McDonald's France the past months.

Remember, beyond the positive discrimination, this campaign concept is nothing but a copy of a Lebanese campaign: COME AS YOU ARE was launched by Crepaway, a major casual restaurant chain in Beirut, back in 2005. They had all sorts of funny situations portrayed in posters, billboards, web campaigns; but never included the GiB element. McDonald's started their campaign in 2008. Are international brands following the footsteps of our local companies. Will GiBs break the stereotype of cozy home-cooking and go for a fast burger served by a clown? So many unanswered mysteries..

GiB#2 | Playing the GiB Card

A couple years ago I tripped over this photo during an entire minute at the urinal of the restroom of Montagnou in Faraya. One minute's too short so I had to take a photo of it to find out what the fcuk this thing is about.

First time I see an ad so blatantly playing the GiB card in Lebanon… I’d be curious to know the outcome of this campaign and what has happened with this place.

Oh and in case you’re still wondering, this is for manicure for men!
