I love this website! That caption was hilarious...

Posted by: JCMNYC | Mar 7, 2006 4:02:00 PM

Straight or not he's damn sexy!

Posted by: chris | Mar 7, 2006 4:09:14 PM

LOL

I was going to say that it should read

"Karl Lagerfield and rent boy"

Posted by: jimmyboyo | Mar 7, 2006 4:12:58 PM

I'm pleased to see that Karl uses protection.

Posted by: jon | Mar 7, 2006 4:24:13 PM

In my mind, he'll be gay. And his name will be Bruce Wayne.

Posted by: Michael W. | Mar 7, 2006 4:25:45 PM

Oh, and good one, Jon! LOL

Posted by: Michael W. | Mar 7, 2006 4:26:36 PM

So, he's the official fan carrier?

Posted by: Joe | Mar 7, 2006 4:37:16 PM

I hope when I'm a "gentleman of a certain age" that I'll be able to have scorchingly hot men trailing after me... who cares if they're on the payroll? Good for Karl. You go, Miss Lagerfeld! Work that fan!

Posted by: Brian | Mar 7, 2006 4:53:44 PM

His name is Sebastian and he looks like that and you're saying he's straight? C'mon!

Posted by: JT | Mar 7, 2006 4:55:09 PM

Europeans sometimes throw off my Gaydar. I can tell an American fag from a 1/2 a bar away but those French can be tricky.

Posted by: Donald | Mar 7, 2006 5:04:35 PM

LOL donald

LOL

King Karl needs a bodyguard. Who da thunk?

Posted by: excy | Mar 7, 2006 7:15:53 PM

All I can is....sexy, sexy, sexy. If he's straight, even more sexy!

Posted by: fred | Mar 7, 2006 7:28:38 PM

Mmmm... a definate case of 'A hubba hubba yum yum'.... There was a brilliant series on BBC4 recently on The house of Chanel, and shows Karl et al getting ready for the annual show, over six episodes. I think we see the same chap in that too... so if BBC merica shows the programme, make sure you watch it.
Take care, my fellow American fucksocks...

Posted by: Philip | Mar 7, 2006 8:05:22 PM

Of course! Karl is just doing what every affluent, gay, older male would do! If you don't have the body you want, you hire it!

Posted by: Rad | Mar 7, 2006 8:23:00 PM

Fucksocks??? LOL!

Posted by: cafegogo | Mar 7, 2006 8:38:46 PM

I wouldn't throw him out of bed. However, if I saw that thing on the left coming towards me I'd probably turn into a pillar of salt.

Posted by: Chad Hanging | Mar 7, 2006 9:23:47 PM

Wowee...husband material in my books!

Posted by: coolurbanite | Mar 7, 2006 10:47:18 PM

Right this second, I just cant think of anyone HOTTER!

Posted by: Toto | Mar 7, 2006 11:04:59 PM

Oh my gawd, he's so gorgeous!

Posted by: Gilli | Mar 8, 2006 12:07:20 AM

late response to Donald (see above)
So French are tricky?gorgeous cliche..chinese cheating,Italians thieves,and German short-minded..Just tell me Donald,is it possible to be gay AND xenophobic?

Posted by: Pierre (from Paris.France) | Mar 8, 2006 7:30:19 AM

Pierre: I know Donald would never have intended that comment to imply that the French are tricky, but that the very nature of the Gallic culture impedes Gaydar. In fact, if my memory serves me I believe Donald wrote a scholarly article about how our term "metrosexual" is traced to the Parisians calling their subway the "Metro." I recall his conclusion being that the term applying to the ambiguous sexuality of so many gorgeous men is a result of the Metro being equally welcome to people of both sexes and available for hopping on and off freely, so the term would appropriate apply to men like this. Of course I didn’t have any coffee this morning, so I could be wrong.

Posted by: JT | Mar 8, 2006 8:46:00 AM

Alot of straight French guys look gay to me to. Much more than American or British straights. I'm sure it's a cultural thing, but my gaydar breaks down in Paris.

Posted by: Ian | Mar 8, 2006 9:07:13 AM

I am aorry if I offended Pierre, I did not mean tricky in the way you took it. Gay men are often stylish, well groomed and keen on the fashion of the day. The French often are the leaders of style and fashion and often ahead of the curve. So it is tricky for me to sometimes set my gaydar on track with the French not that the French are tricky.

No xenophobia intended or implied perhaps the writing could have been clearer.

Thanks JT - Yes I did my Senior paper on that very subject back in 1986, I am so glad you were able to google me and find it. It the academic highlight of the year for Penn State.

Posted by: Donald | Mar 8, 2006 9:24:02 AM

Pierre - I must say I have never heard of the Chinese cheating, Italian thieves, German short minded before. French tricky I have heard but never quite understood, I thought tricky was clever and if that is an insult please insult me that way.

Posted by: Donald | Mar 8, 2006 9:28:17 AM

Donald: I trust that Pierre is busy having a coffee and smoking a colored cigarette since France is ahead of us…as far as time goes…so it may be a while before he responds. The national stereotypes include boorish and xenophobic Americans. That’s a stereotype that is so fucking offensive, I’d love to just bomb the shit out of the effete dumb-assed countries that say that dog vomit. It’s no wonder that no one except America can win wars, topple governments or defend its borders against terrorists anymore.

Posted by: JT | Mar 8, 2006 9:55:55 AM

to Donald:
if you plan to fly to Paris on day, it would be my pleasure to invit you to share some points of view and Champagne(french) of course.Take care.
PS I'm not SO fashionable to-day.Wearing on a Marlborough Classics shirt.

Posted by: Pierre (from Paris.France) | Mar 8, 2006 10:00:57 AM

So Pierre I gather you are no longer offended. Peace

Posted by: Donald | Mar 8, 2006 10:18:39 AM

I'd be willing to be that Pierre is really named David and lives in Chelsea or West Hollywood. Au revoir!

Posted by: jon | Mar 8, 2006 11:38:51 AM

Europeans dress so much better than Americans. So that alone throws off a Gaydar. Oh, and they're not as fat either. Another Gaydar chaff.

Anyways, he's f**king hot, Sebastian!

Posted by: Hal | Mar 8, 2006 2:38:56 PM

However Sebastien guards the body of Karl L. is certainly contractually agreed upon.

I find no difference in the mores of the gay glitterati than those of their straight counterparts, or those who often skirt both sides of the street (pun intended).

In Europe, francophile Canada and many parts of Latin America, the psychosexual appetite is less low-carb but high protein. They exiled most of their theocrats to the western hemisphere beginning half a millenium ago.

Posted by: Raymond | Mar 9, 2006 7:30:23 AM

sorry to report and burst the rumor mill - but first his name is not Sebastian but it does start with a "S". He's not french and nor is Karl Lagerfeld......and "Yes, he is Karl's body guard and he does have a Girlfriend!, his Gay Friendly but loves the women!".

Posted by: turlie | Mar 9, 2006 1:33:53 PM

Pierre, it's so tiring to read overly-PC dribble coming out of your mouth! Donald's post was in no way aggressive, demeaning or xenophobic; it was mildly amusing. But yours was pompous and self-righteous, which is exclusive to no race.

Posted by: Damien | Mar 11, 2006 11:37:27 PM

To Damien.
Donald,as far as I may guess is a fair guy."Peace" he said.And I cordially agree with him.End of the story.

Posted by: Pierre (from Paris.France) | Mar 12, 2006 11:41:56 AM

Is "Sebastian" staring at claw-girl's breasts?

Posted by: Tony | Mar 12, 2006 10:38:38 PM

Whoever thinks that gay men are stylish are barking up the wrong tree anyway. Cliched yes, stylish, hardly.

Posted by: Davide | Sep 13, 2006 6:49:46 PM

I think as americans we have that ignorance of every pretty mael is g a. Until i started listening to the stokes, the horrors, went to france, read vogue i too thought like that. Gay is ones behavior genetic or not. Attractiveness is genetic and "affliction' of it does not depict your orientation.Style is instinct not just allocated to gays. The three ar not directly related.

Posted by: sasha | Mar 13, 2007 11:14:55 AM

I saw the two of them at the Soho Apple Store. Sebastian is gorgeous; Karl is a freak.

Posted by: Gary | Mar 13, 2007 12:50:22 PM

Sasha's post made my head hurt.

Posted by: Moody | Mar 17, 2007 11:54:05 AM

I saw KL in St. Tropez last summer at Les Caves du Roy and he looked very bizarre. Then I read the profile of him in The New Yorker and found out that he IS bizarre. (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/03/19/070319fa_fact_colapinto)
