Bend It Like Beckham
….
In case you haven’t heard, the latest flap over the flap in the shorts of super soccer stud David Beckham isn’t as juicy as you’d hope. It’s a lot of huff about fluff and stuff, you might say. The British newspaper The Daily Mail has compared the bulge in Beckham’s bikini briefs in the hot new Emporio Armani ad with a two-year-old candid shot, and sees a big difference. They also refer to the packaged goods as his “lunchbox.” Yum, yum. Lord knows it makes Hearsay hungry.
Well, Hearsay demands an in-person inspection, perhaps even a hands-on assessment. Barring that, Hearsay’s educated guess — yes, educated, Hearsay got its degree studying the 3B’s, bulges, booze and butts — is that this is simply a matter of loose vs. tight fabric, or really basic vs. contoured cut trunks. Armani clearly knows how to accentuate the positive. Or maybe it’s a matter of Beckham just getting out of the ocean in the older shot. Cold water is a lunchbox’s enemy!
