THE DECADE OF STUPID: THE 10-YEAR HUNT FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN by Navo

In Earth, politics, viewpoints on December 30, 2009 at 6:46 am

STUPID AND PROUD OF IT


“Is ignorance truly bliss? Are people with non-existing intelligence happier than the rest of the species?”

Happy New Year! Thank you for all the growing followers of DANGEROUSLY NAIVE (a 3-months old blog). I was working on my novel and while reviewing the 00′s highlights, I just realize what a dumb decade that was, years overwhelmingly dominated by “celebrities” advertising their ignorance like a billboard, the rise of reality shows (featuring the most clueless loonies that ever walk the face of the earth), the wacked global economy and countless people who lost their jobs or countless people who lost their lives this past 10 years, a civilization rotting to its very core. How the hell did that happen? Two words: STUPID PEOPLE. If you track the roots of all the misery (like a forensic investigator in CSI), it all goes down to stupidity of some people in power, and most of them are major celebrities. When a celebrity’s dirt, personal life, breakdowns, delusions, scandals and stupidity are more interesting than their talents, leadership, and just being good role models like the old days, the world actually watch stupid celebrities humiliate themselves on TV makes this decade the most mind-boggling. Reality shows and networks, YouTube, Magazines, Tabloids, Blogs, Talk Shows, and innocent mindless office coffee break chats work hand-in-hand in  glamoriz-ing these stupid celebrities of the world.

BIG DUMB FUN IS JUST BIG DUMB FUN

I own a decent size plasma tv that I only use to watch select films, documentaries or to peek at what the rest of the world is watching these days, a glaring 90 % of the programs are targeted towards the idiot demographics, can you blame me for not having any interest? When USA’s version of a vampire movie is “TWILIGHT” compared to Sweden’s “LET THE RIGHT ONE IN” and South Korea’s “THIRST”, you can really see the cultural inferiority of Hollywood in 2009 alone. Sometimes big dumb fun is just big dumb fun, I’m not that square not to enjoy Cameron Diaz’s Charlies Angels or Johnny Depp’s Pirate Trilogy, but there’s a certain stupidity that my brain can only take before it actually bleeds. Every month US Networks and Film Productions seems to successfully raise the STUPID-BAR down a notch. I’ve never seen MTV’s Jersey Shore (from its reviews, sounds like it marks TV history’s rock-bottom) but I know some people who watch it to feel better about themselves. Jerry Springer babies like Tyra Banks, Paula Abdul, Perez Hilton have done so well this decade, for having no talent, low IQ and zero substance, its humiliating for those people who actually have something  to say. The same people who failed every single subject in school, dropped out, or kicked out, are dominating the world’s media, teaching the not so bright kids of the world to be like them, American Media is raising mini-stupids every single day. They are the reminders of having an IQ of an oven toaster can make you famous and filthy rich, the message to all the kids around the globe who owns a TV set or have an internet access every time they click the keyboards or the remote control. A world of blissful ignorance, clueless celebrities but have strong opinions all the same, and have a very passionate fan club that will commit Jihad to protect their honor (like Osama Bin Laden’s fan club, but thats a totally new topic). If the television and internet is the new classroom for our next generation, the following 12 people below are the new heroes produced this decade, and the world’s future has never been so dark to say the very least.

“When it comes to my celebrity interviews, I’m going to do a lot deeper research and ask them things that people haven’t asked before, … I’ve been on the other side so much, I have a leg up on a person that has only just interviewed people.” -Tyra Banks

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, have delusions of grandeur of being smart, vain, having no talent, shallow and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“My videos stand the test of time. They are like the almanac for every performer. Even Rhianna has come up to me and said ‘I hope you don’t mind.’ And Beyonce. You can see the influence of what I’ve done.”, “It’s really fun to see that I’ve left a mark. It was my idea to create an animated character. It takes a lot of focus, a lot time, and a lot of money.” -Paula Abdul

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, coke head, hardcore junkie, having no talent, vain, delusional, pathological liar and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“She lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she’s a dumb bitch.” – Perez Hilton (Mario Armando Lavandeira)

WHAT HE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, pathological liar, having no talent, delusional, vain, gossip queen, shallow and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

TYPHOID MARYS


There is a plague this decade, and never before in the history of civilization that a plague is shamelessly advertised in billboards, tv, radio, magazines, and the world-wide web. Just one click and your exposed to the plague, and with the rate of inbreeding in today’s society it seems unstoppable and our future is a bit scary, like one of those zombie scenes in 28 Days Later (which by the way is an intelligent piece of filmmaking, it’s a metaphor for stupid people spreading disease). Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Ana Wintour in fact are carriers, the Typhoid Mary‘s of moronic quotes whenever you see or hear them anywhere, and everybody seems to listen to what they have to say.

“Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.” – Paris Hilton

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, coke head, junkie, having no talent, vain, delusional, materialistic, slut and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“I am for the death penalty. Who commits terrible acts must get a fitting punishment. That way he learns the lesson for the next time.“ – Britney Spears

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, coke head, junkie, having no talent, delusional, vain, materialistic, slut and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you. (Same as above)

“As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border.” – Sarah Palin

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, have delusions of grandeur of being smart, shallow, delusional, and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.
“I’ll be out with my friends and be recognized, and little girls will ask me for my autograph. It is so much fun living out your dream. It, like, totally reflects me 100%.”- Miley Cyrus


WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, shallow, delusional, having no talent, vain,  materialistic, slut and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it’s tuna, but it says ‘Chicken by the Sea.’” – Jessica Simpson

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, coke head, delusional, vain, having no talent,  materialistic, slut and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”- George Bush

WHAT HE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, have delusions of grandeur of being smart, delusional,  mass-murderer, and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.
“I called her last week, and I was like, ‘Do you wanna hang out?’ And her sister hung up the phone on me! I don’t like having enemies … and there’s the saying, keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” – Lindsay Lohan

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, coke head, hardcore junkie, having no talent, vain,  delusional, materialistic, slut and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“My two brothers and sister are very amused by what I do — they’re amused,” Anna Wintour in an almost self-deprecating tone.

WHAT SHE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being a moron, shallow, coke head, have delusions of grandeur of being smart, vain, materialistic, stuck-up and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

“When I get angry enough I write down what I want to say and what I want to talk about, to set the record straight. Because you get to a point where you get tired of people lying. I get tired of situations like this, where people completely lie on (sic) me and I’m sick of it. I want to set the record straight. I’m a black American and I’m proud of it. The bleached skin is a rumour. I don’t bleach my skin. I’m not gay.” – Micheal Jackson (1996)

WHAT HE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, coke head, junkie, pathological liar, vain, phedophile (especially if you have good lawyers and money to pay up victims), mutilate your face, and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

6 YEAR OLDS OF THE WORLD WANTS TO FUCK A 109 YEAR OLD VAMPIRE (GREAT JOB RPatz and Stephanie Meyer)

It’s not hard to spot the “carriers” . You’ll usually see them reading gossip magazines about how awesome Robert Pattison is, a person who talks about celebrities, shoes, scientology, Jesus Christ, and tips they’ve read in Cosmopolitan magazine 24/7, people who straps themselves in a plane to blow up some buildings in New York and llamas. The ‘infected” will spontaneously combust if you include them in conversations that doesn’t revolve around Bradgelina, RPatz, or Louis Vuitton bags and if you mention the word “BOOK”, prepare yourself for some gooey brain explosion, it’s their kryptonite.

“Thats the worst thing, I dont really care if people say I’m a bad actor, I can like work on that, but if they just say that he’s ugly thats just like “oh.. really?” – Robert Pattinson

WHAT HE PREACHES YOUR KIDS: You can be successful being stupid, shallow, having no talent, and it’s ok to think the world revolves around you.

PEREZ HILTON WHO?


In an article by Dana Irwin (10/26/2007) titled Why is Perez Hilton Famous? “Perez Hilton proves that some people can succeed on very little talent. Why is he famous? If any one of us were to write our musings of pop culture, would we soon be schmoozing with the very stars we write about? Perez Hilton is the 21st century’s version of the American Dream: becoming a celebrity for doing nothing but making stars quiver in their boots. It’s quite a long way to come for a poor boy born to Cuban immigrants in Miami.” “What is the allure of this site? It might be the snappy layout. Readers can skim all the celebrity gossip during a coffee break. The lack of text puts the rumors front and center, with no need for troublesome reading.” “In an age when some celebrities have more interesting private lives than careers, Perez Hilton has capitalized on the public’s desire to see the nasty underside of Hollywood. The sordid details of the not-so-private lives of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton keep his site well-visited.” (emorywheel.com)

time.com announced Hilton’s blog one of the top 5 most Overrated Blogs of 2009 “This highly trafficked gossip blog, written by sometimes actor and fulltime celebrity hound Mario Lavandeira, mines the usual Jessica Simpson/Brad Pitt/Jennifer Anniston territory. But blog rivals like TMZ.com do a much better job at uncovering real celeb scoops and providing original video and documents. Leaving PerezHilton to serve up the stalest dish of all: yesterday’s celebrity news.”

I unfortunately bumped in the infamous Hilton Blog once a few months ago, I think Dana nailed it in the head, excuse the pun, it’s a no brainer, “STUPID PEOPLE (LIKE PEREZ HILTON) MADE HIM FAMOUS”, every time you click his blog, whether you like him or not is a “VOTE” to keep his stupidity in business. Like Jessica, Tyra, Palin, Britney, Ana, Bush, Paris, Rpatz, Lindsay, Miley- Mario Armando Lavandeira are the cover boys and girls of “YOU-CAN-SUCCEED-IN-LIFE-WITH-VERY-LITTLE-BRAIN-AND-VERY-LITTLE-TALENT,-OR-NONE-AT-ALL.”, they wear their ignorance like a badge of honor, while the rest of the world worships them and makes them more powerful and influential, making this earth a more stupid place to live in.

_______________________

SOLUTION:


Theres only one antidote to this plague of stupidity  infecting mankind (if not prevented will be the ultimate cause of its own extinction like the dumb dinosaurs). Round up all the infected celebrities, send them to boot camp and ship them to IRAQ, PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN or wherever the hell OSAMA BIN LADEN is and let them hunt him down. This 00′s was also the decade of terrorism according to BUSH, it’ll be poetic to watch all this idiots bumble around in the mountains and caves of Pakistan looking for AMERICA’S NO# 1 ENEMY, that after a mind boggling decade of the most powerful nation in the world‘s “efforts” have captured and killed Saddam Hussein (who have nothing to do with 9/11), and Osama (the proclaimed mastermind of 9/11) is still running free with the llama’s in the mountains after 10 painfully long years. BRAVO Network should follow these dummies in the middle east and title the show “AMERICAS MOST STUPID HUNT OSAMA BIN LADEN REALITY SHOW”, hey if the Smartest Americans can’t capture one man, maybe a dozen of AMERICA’S MOST STUPID can, I’m sure Osama want’s an autograph of Britney Spears on his ass cheeks. Now if they survive the mission to capture Osama, they will truly deserve the hero-worship and adoration the kids of the world so generously gives them. After 9/11 less than a decade ago, Osama is in every cover of every magazine, the hottest celebrity in 2001, more popular than Robert Pattinson and the other celebrities combined, no contest, America said “We will never forget”, I think they did with the help of its stupid celebrities.

Bin Laden and Pattinson, this decades top coverboys.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO FUCK EDWARD CULLEN “TOTALLY” by Navo

In my novel, viewpoints on November 26, 2009 at 9:46 pm

AN OPEN LETTER TO STEPHANIE MEYER

Dear Mrs. Stephanie Meyer,

Congratulations to all the success you’ve amassed, you’re a legend to all the teenagers worldwide, although in the process you’ve also managed to offend the I.Q. of all the important movie/book critics with all your literary efforts. H.L. Mencken’s assertion that “no one ever went broke by underestimating the taste of the American public,” the opening weekend take of $140 million for The Twilight Saga: New Moon is that evidence. It is a landmark movie that proves three things, 1.Bella “totally” loves Edward, 2.Edward is “totally” so HOT, 3.Anybody can “totally” write better than a Stephanie Meyer. I’m 100% sure the third didn’t go around as a mass-text message while screaming in the darkness of the movie theatre.

EDWARD “TEEN PORN” FANTASY PLAYED TO PERFECTION

I’ve just rented the Twilight dvd and seen New Moon sequel in the theatre (in just about the same day) out of curiosity about the mass hysteria, I also read the two original childrens book where the movie was adapted from (Twilight and New Moon) just about the same week. I believe I would enjoy it more if I were an 8-year-old girl who don’t read books other than Cosmopolitan magazine. Your movies and your books that I have seen so far have no sense, no logic, no integrity, no reasoning, no wit or any sign of intelligence (Werewolves-don’t-have-penis-they-have-torn-out-jeans-in-the-cold-winter-of-Forks-Washington-logic), they are purely a teenage girl’s wet dreams and a tween’s Edward “teen porn” fantasy casted and played to perfection by Robert Pattinson, maybe the shallowest characters created since “Spice Girls the movie”, and what makes it worst, is that every young adult in the world will try to emulate the senseless temper tantrums your characters Bella, Jacob and Edward have been juggling throughout the film. The best review I’ve read so far is with Christopher Orr of The New Republic

The Tone Poem: ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon
A landmark cinematic event in 280 words, or one for every $500, 000 of weekend box office:

Senior year. How’d you get so old so fast?


Oh, good. Cullen’s here.

I’m 109.

Maybe I shouldn’t be dating such an old man.

Bella.

Jacob.

Hello, biceps.

I’m just filling out.

The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family.

Don’t hate the truck.

Ow, paper cut.

Jasper hasn’t been away from human blood as long as the rest of us.

I love you.

Love you.

You just don’t belong in my world, Bella.

You don’t want me. That changes things. A lot.

Goodbye.

October.

November.

December.

The absence of him is everywhere I look.

That’s it. You’re going to Jacksonville to live with your mother.

Jake, you’re, like, buff. How’d that happen?

You’re sort of beautiful.

Like, five hikers have been killed by some bear. But they can’t find the bear.

What, I can’t hold your hand?

Jake, your dad says you have mono. He won’t let me visit.

You cut your hair off? And got a tattoo?

Look, Bella. We can’t be friends anymore.

Things are bad again.

Dad, I saw them in the woods. They’re not bears.

Guess the wolf’s out of the bag.

C’mon in, Bella. We won’t bite.

You’re not the first monsters I’ve met.

It’s not a lifestyle choice, Bella.

Wait, there’s a vampire.

Bella, what’s that awful wet-dog smell?

Don’t. Get. Me. Upset.

Bella, Edward’s going to the Volturi. He wants to die, too.

What a happy surprise. Bella is alive after all. Isn’t that wonderful?

She knows too much. She’s a liability.

Goodbye, my young friends.

Bella, do not ever do that to me again. Ever.

It would be nice not to want to kill you all the time.

Marry me.





THE TWI-HARDS


And of course Ms Stephanie Meyer, all the 90% of film and book critics are bitter old people who just hates everything you do and you just dont give a fuck about that, the millions of screaming girls all over the world “The Twi-hards” are the only critics that matter$$$. That dream you had that inspired you to write TWILIGHT is shared by all the hormonal teens (age 4 to 44) in the face of the earth, if your mission is to want them to fuck Edward Cullen, then mission accomplished.

STEPHANIE MEYER VS ANNE RICE/ STEPHANIE MEYER VS J.K. ROWLING


I am an aspiring writer, and working on a few novels of my own, now I’m itching to write a vampire novel because of you, I am maybe the biggest fan of Anne Rice, I’ve read Interview with the Vampire hundreds of times and even seen the movie the same amount and it never made me want to write one, because I am a little intimidated by how much research, intelligence, passion and courage Anne Rice have- to write an exquisite novel like Interview and Lestat (among others). I’m not a fan of J.K. Rowling, I’ve seen a Harry Potter movie once and read the book that go with it once out of curiosity, but I have to say she is a very creative and intelligent writer and picked up a lot of vocabularies reading her book, I also realized that the dialogues in the Harry Potter movies are not laughable and “children book-like” like your two Twilight films. Then you came along and shown me that it is possible, the sky is the limit, anybody can write, and just hire an editor to clean out and organize the mess they scribbled somewhere and create a multimillion franchise like yours. Thank you for giving hope to millions of writers all over the world with very limited vocabularies and creativity, hope that it is possible to be a financially successful writer and popular with the age group 18 and below, or the people who have the IQ level of a toddler. With so less effort, you are a living proof that it is possible to be a successful writer, if success means money and fame and not the respect and validation of other writers like you.

JEALOUSY


Your fanatic followers will think that I am bitter and a “hater”, in fact I am jealous of you Mrs. Stephanie Meyer and you are changing my life unlike any other authors whose works I have read before. Now I am attempting to write a vampire book for children and that will be my new mission as a writer, because now I firmly believe if you can do it, I can do so much better than you. Thank you Mrs. Meyer.

Sincerely,
NAVO

DIDIO’S BRASIL by Navo

In Top Ten, Travel on November 25, 2009 at 5:20 am

(BR) A very successful Brazilian novelist once said “Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” I absolutely agree. I love the Brazilians, the way they live, the way they celebrate, the passion, the enthusiasm, the smiles, the sensuality, the pride, the diversity, the culture, the history, the food, the view from your hotel room, the optimism against all odds, and most of all- the beauty. Have I mention the enthusiasm and passion? When the star of the latest blockbuster The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Robert Pattinson was asked in Jimmy Kimmel Live! in LA “Where in the world are the craziest (passionate) fans you’ve ever met while promoting New Moon?” the 23 yr old actor replied without hesitation “Brazil!”, and I wouldn’t be surprised. Have I mentioned the enthusiasm and passion?

The largest country in South America, the 55 yr old Peruvian fashion/celebrity photographer Mario Testino’s favorite destination to shoot his photo books, the world’s fifth largest country by geographical area, the world’s eighth largest economy, the world’s fifth most populous country, and the world’s largest population of fashion models and supermodels working today. The sultry brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima said in an interview “If you look around Brazil you see pregnant women everywhere. Here you don’t see that as much. There the only thing they do is babies, babies, babies! Especially the poor families.” Yes, Brazil is the home to a diversity of culture and wildlife, the home of the supermodels, and the home of the most photogenic landscapes and getaways in the world, my friend Antonio Bezerra (the blogosphere have known as Didio), my favorite São Paulo-based photographer is sharing NAIVEBOY.COM readers a slice of how he view this exotic wonderland through his lens.

THE TEN: MALE BEAUTIES OF ALL TIME by Navo

In Top Ten on October 8, 2009 at 5:52 pm

10 male beauties Lope Navo Travelling the world in the 90′s, I saw the great influence of American Pop Culture wherever I go, Tom Cruise’s 1986 TOP GUN poster stapled on a barber shop in Boystown, Pattaya-Thailand, Brad Pitt’s 1994 Legends of the Fall poster in a “mostly censored” movie rentals in Al Khobar-Saudi Arabia, Leonardo Dicaprio’s life-size cardboard cutout in the streets of Lan Kwai Fong-Hong Kong, 90’s Jason Priestley and Luke Perry of  90210 all over the notebook covers of teenage girls (and boys) in my highschool in Manila, I have to confess I bought my first Tiger Beat with River Phoenix cover to wrap my textbook for my drudging calculus class.

James Dean Lope NavoJames Dean
(February 1931 – September 1955)

In “a  fun experiment” by Irina Aleksander on her article “The New Male Beauty” (June 23, 2009) for The New York Observer. She suggested that the latest “It boys”sort of look alike– High School Musical’s Zac Efron, Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford, Star Trek’s Chris Pine, Hairspray’s James Marsden, Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans and the list goes on, and she calls it the NEW MALE BEAUTY: those wide-set eyes, the narrow nose that flares up at the tip just so, the childish puffy cheeks and the not-too-rugged jaw lines, topped with carefully placed strands of layered hair. (http://www.observer.com/2009/style/new-male-beauty)

Although I agree with her that this twenty-something James Dean doppelgänger’s has been dominating the box office and prime time tv this decade, whats new? Since James Dean starred in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), he’s reincarnation’s in the “Male Beauties” of the 60’s (Warren Beatty), 80’s (Tom Cruise), 90’s (Leonardo Dicaprio) has always been prominent. The 2000’s Young Hollywood cannot deny that “another swoopy-haired, pretty-faced actor dominating the box office” has started in the 50’s. Although I was born in the 80’s and Tom Cruise was the king, I acknowledge that on my list of top 10 Male beauties of all time, it’s a not a Mr. Pattinson or a Mr. Efron topping my list- its the original, Mr. Dean.

River Phoenix Lope Navo

River Phoenix
(August 1970 – October 1993)

The American film actor who starred in Gus Van Sant’s 1991 Semi-documentary footage of Seattle street hustling “My Own Private Idaho” is one of the reason I fell in love with american filmmaking, not only its sexiest Homosexual road movie ever made, its casted perfectly with beautiful talented stars all at the top of their respective games. The film’s success solidified Phoenix’s image as an edgy actor with leading man potential, without even trying, he is the most authentic reincarnation of James Dean’s beauty and talent in the 90’s.

Brad Pitt Lope Navo

Brad Pitt
(December 1963)

Yes, it’s not a surprise Mr. Pitt’s in the list, hailed as one of the world’s most sexiest men over and over in some top 10 list all over the world. But I can’t help but put him in this one, because am only human. Most of my favorite movies of all time are starred by Brad Pitt, and three of the sexiest and most beautiful characters that the silver screen ever produced he had played – J.D., the cowboy hitchhiker who seduces Geena Davis’s character in the 1991 road movie “Thelma & Louise”, as Louis de Pointe du Lac in “Interview with the Vampire” (1994) – the most referenced vampire of this decades’ teen vampires and Tristan Ludlow in the 1994 drama “Legends of the Fall”, how can I resist?

Johnny Depp Lope Navo

Johnny Depp
(June 1963)

There is something so mysterious about this American actor that I find so mesmerizing and beautiful, after 50 films and running, from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” to “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” to “Pirates of the Caribbean”, he just makes me ask for more.

Little Joe Lope Navo

Joe Dallesandro
(December 1948)

Aesthetically speaking if the Greek philosophers will have a perfect mold for the male beauty, it will be “Little Joe”s face. Thanks to Andy Warhol, the 70’s underground films will always have their nude James Dean. Although he never become a mainstream film star like Mr. Dean, Mr. Phoenix, Mr. Depp and Mr. Pitt –Mr. Dallesandro is a sex symbol of the 20th century in his own right, and an iconic beauty on my list. Like Mr. Phoenix he starred as as a beautiful teenage street hustler in the 1970’s film Flesh and hailed as one of the 10 most beautiful men Scavullo had ever photographed. As a photographer how can i disagree?

Gabriel Aubry Lope Navo

Gabriel Aubry
(January 1976)

“Quick, name one male model.” asked by Lauren Streib on her article “The World’s Most Successful Male Models” (May, 07 2008) for Forbes Magazine. Gabriel Aubry, Mark Fisher, Marlon Teixeira, Jon Kortajarena, and Greg Knudson and yes, Fabio doesn’t count. In my personal list of Top 10 Male Beauties of all time, it only make sense that half of them are models and three out of five are signed with Wilhelmina Models in New York City. All five of them have the movie star good looks minus the Zoolander ego that plagued most male models this decade.

Signed to Wilhelmina Models in New York City, the only male model to ever appear on the cover of Uomo Vogue while appearing in 4 different campaigns at the same time, in the same magazine. Aubry is a Canadian male model, that has been the face (and body) of blue chip clients like Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, DKNY, and Valentino, achieved supermodel status after modeling for Hugo Boss.

Mark Fisher Lope NavoMark Fisher
(January 1976)

One source of male beauties for me back in college are the men’s fashion magazines, I have converted my room in a mini-magazine library and nobody can avoid all the muses for more than four decades of the legendary photographer Bruce Weber, Mark Fisher is my favorite. Mr. Fisher is an American model best known for his campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Polo, Versace and Ralph Lauren. In my book he is one of the original male models that carries the James Dean charm without even knowing it.
Fisher was born in Detroit, but grew up in Atlanta and considers himself a little boy from the South.

Marlon Texeira Lope Navo

Marlon Teixeira
(September 1993)

Signed to Wilhelmina Models in New York City, Teixeira appeared on Dior Homme Campaign, the provocative Diesel Ad shot by Terry Richardson, the face of the 2009 Christian Dior Summer/Spring collection to name a few. The brazilian beauty is half Portuguese and has Indian and Japanese origins and at the very young age and early of his career he is becoming one of the top working male model now.

Jon Kortajarena Lope Navo

Whenever people ask me who’s my favorite model I ever photographed, this American male model, native of california always come to mind, I never thought I’ll ever meet a real life James Dean in my lifetime, but I did, and his body covered by Oriental tattoos of his gang membership in his teen years, a troubled teen like the characters that James Dean, River Phoenix, Johnny Depp would usually play in their films and his striking resemblance to Brad Pitt is uncanny.

Excerpt from my book Acknowledgement “STARK”: I remember buying my first photo book, Just Between Us by LA photographer Greg Gorman, when I was in Fine Arts college majoring painting. I will never forget that, because I had never before spent so much money on a book; but that day and from this day on I knew it was all worth it. The moment I saw Greg Knudson on the book cover in the display, I considered him the most beautiful person on the planet, and I still feel he is.

When I shot him in LA last year—8 years after I bought the book—Greg told me I might be the last photographer he would ever work with since he is thinking of retiring; he has worked with most of the top photographers in the 1990’s. Now he is gracing my photo book, and I am elated.
