Bear Market "Last year, according to Armkel L.L.C., manufacturers of the hair-removal solution Nair, 30 percent of men aged 18 to 34 regularly shaved their chests. The wheel of fashion appears to have turned full circle. At the recent fall fashion shows, the pasty, snake-hipped rent boys and dolphin-smooth himbos - who have sulked, preened and pouted their way down international catwalks for so many seasons - were, if not entirely replaced, at least upstaged. The new models were less pretty - older, hairier -grown-up men. But the cult of musky he-man fur is not just sprouting on the catwalks. Hugh Jackman, George Clooney and Russell Crowe, some of Hollywood's hottest leading men, all proudly sport hairy chests." (NY Times Link, Free Login Required)
