I'm Derek Zoolander!
Come and knock on my door...
This morning I woke up and looked at my body in the mirror. Still far from perfect I could still see the major improvements. Delts, pecs, traps, lats and even my abs are taking shape nicely. Like Michelangelo's Pieta, I am slowly taking form and definition, daily chiseling away the fat and unnecessary layer by spending countless hours in the gym.
Each morning for me is a new opportunity to strut my stuff down the runway of life. As I get dressed I strike pose after pose after pose in the mirror, boxers only, jeans only, shirt half-buttoned, shirt tucked in, a butt shot, hands on hips, arms crossed - you get the idea.
You see, when I get dressed I am not looking into a mirror, rather, I am looking into a world of infinite possibilities. I imagine that through that mirror is a myriad of women applauding as I make my entrance. I stop, turn, turn, pause. The cameras flash and whir and I'm all dark skin and white teeth smiling my most alluring smile. The song that is playing is by C&C Music Factory- "I've Got the Power" and I do.
The best part about looking good, or looking better, is that people take notice. Just last night I got hit on by a nice looking lady. She was about 7 years older than me, but hey, she still gave me "the look" and it is always nice to get "the look" from the ladies.
So tell me, have you gotten "the look" lately?

Looking good! If I was walking around I'd give you "the look".
I don't really pay attention about people looking at me but I've been told that guys do. I'm more worried about if Baby jumps in a mud puddle or opens the bag of cookies before we pay for them.
But I like to dress up when I go out, even if it is to get groceries. If you feel pretty then your day is good. :)
eddie, i already told you this on Saturday night, but i am publicizing it here for the world: i not only got the look recently, i got cat calls and a few "unhhhs" (you know, that thing males do before they say, "Damn baby. Look at her. She got a faiiiinnnnee assss.")
and then, i got that exact exclamation.
of course, i was in the mall, and without my husband, so it wasn't as exciting as it would have been if HE were there to hear it. :)
Eddie- a while back (probably in march) you posted of pic of you with some friends. there is a big difference from those pics and the one you just posted! whatever you are doing is working fabulously and you are looking good my friend! you can't see me, but i am giving you the look right now! :)
(no flirt, just fact) :)
oh, and by the way, you are sending me closer and closer on my way to SBD. i want your results! have a fabulous day Mr. Zoolander!
oh! and to answer your question, i do get "the look" but it usually isn't appreciated as a lot of the time it is similar to jess's story, which is usually much more creepy than complimentary.
I wish I hadn't posted what I posted now.....
Uhhh...other than from you and Genuine? Seriously, I'm proud of you and for you. Don't discount older women (notice I'm not ranting about gender hypocrisy here). I'm four years older than my spouse. One of my neighbors is seven years older than her man--she calls him "Boy Toy."
EDDIE - I have now printed off your posted picture and taken it to Kinkos where they are currently blowing it up to billboard size. I have a very long wall in my living room that will now be the Eddie wall and I can look upon your perfection every day.
whoa. can you imagine if we ALL did that?
me thinks me husband would be very upset.
but KT, your wall would be perfect.
or, maybe, you could get some puddy and make a sculpture of him coming out of your wall. like, you know, what are those called? rescinded?
i just called Roger. i knew he would have the answer.
RECESSED is the word i was looking for.
hey - maybe it COULD be recessed, and then you could crawl into your wall and cuddle with eddie!
of course, that would make your living room even MORE narrow because you'd have to build it out far enough with puddy just so you could make a RECESSED sculpture.
LOL! KT and JES! I would be sooo embarrased and delighted at the same time if you posted a picture.
Did you see what Genuine posted in the comments section - and then you go and read his site and it is soooo funny because of my picture.
Anne Fitten - I curled up with you on the couch last night - ahem, I mean I curled up with your book last night, but I find that reading someone's work is a lot like spending time with them...
And..I NEVER discount older women, I love them. Some of my best clubbin' memories are of times when I went out and just had a blast with a group of older women that were having a ladies night out - a couple of them even stuffed dollar bills into my pants... no lie. It wasn't anything weird, they were just having fun - and SO. WAS. I.
That was supposed to say - "IF you posted a picture of me on the wall." I wish we could go in and edit our comments. I must suggest this to blogger.
I don't even know if I got "the look" from Sydney when we first met.. BUT I am FUNNY (Katie) and so it didn't matter... cause she couldn't see through the tears in her eyes because she was laughing so hard because I am so FUNNY(Katie).
Jes now you've taken it to a stalker level. I was just suggesting a nice larger than life size picture to you in a few sacrificial type ceremonies (nothing big mind you just a few rodents or such) but Jes now you're talking about sculptures and reliefs and such, wow girl you've crossed the line.
P.S. Ben I never said you weren't funny just that Sydney may be more funny. You can be the pretty one. OK?
Katie-
TRUST ME when I tell you that you've got it all wrong. I am the funny one and Sydney is the pretty one... If we ever move to Tehhhkkksaaass... you will find this out.
I get "the look", form my husband, every morning when I get out of the shower. He always says, "Oh to be that towel.". I know, gag right? lol
Can we get that picture up of AF now?
KT, and I'M the crazy one? you're talking about sacrificing rodents (eddie, read = rats) to eddie's picture.
eddie, i don't know if you should be flattered or repulsed.
Oh, Eddo, you look great, and I'm happy to see someone who is pleased with himself and proud to display it. There are WAY too many people with poor self-images walking around. You go ahead and strut your stuff, Dude!
i want you to know that they play "i've got the power" at my girly-girl gym, Curves. that is like the Curves theme song. do you have curves? are you proud of them?
i don't get the look except for on "special" nights from my husband. "special" means i don't go to bed early.
Amanda Sue--you don't go to bed or you don't go to sleep?
Mr. Visual,
I bet you can call up my photo in your mind's eye...what you do with it there is your business (except, of course, when you blog about it). AF
AF,
I never kiss and tell....that would not be Genuine.
Hubba Hubba!
I'm off to Shreveport, wish me luck!
Good Luck! What's in Shreveport?
Well done eddo!
You should be quite proud of yourself-
go ahead and shake what your momma gave you!
the look- nope i have not gotten the look in like forever..as far as i know anyways
dag/tu
You look fabulous Darling Eddie! What ever you are doing keep doing it!
As for me getting the look…yeah I still get it once in a while. Last time I got the “whistle” from some guys (many years younger than me) I laughed, stopped, and yelled a thank you! Why any woman gets mad at a whistle is beyond me!
