Beberapa hari yang lalu saya menonton Slumdog Millionaire (saya baru menontonnya tahun ini! Anda bisa percaya itu? Salahkan di bawah umur) dan berpikir, Dev Patel adalah cowok ganteng. Tapi lalu saya ingat seorang teman dari Jane Aldridge, fashion blogger yang banyak ngepost tentang sepatu. Jane agak tertutup soal hubungan asmaranya, jadi saya tidak tahu banyak tentang cowok yang satu ini. Tapi saya tahu namanya Amit! Dia orang di belakang Lame Basics, blog fashion yang sayangnya sudah dihapus. Cowok, fashion blogger. Ya ampun.
Some
days ago I watched Slumdog Millionaire (I just watched it this year!
Can you believe it? Blame age restriction) and thought Dev Patel was a
heartthrob (that's a special word you can't just use anytime). But then I
remembered a friend of Jane Aldridge, the fashion blogger specialized
in shoes. Jane doesn't really blog about her relationships, so I don't
know much about this one friend. But I know his name is Amit! He's the
guy behind Lame Basics, a fashion blog that's unfortunately been shut
down. This guy blogged fashion. Man.
Sudah bukan rahasia lagi kalau dunia fashion kebanyakan direpresentasikan oleh perempuan. Cowok-cowok di lingkungan saya boleh ngetawain cowok yang dandan, tapi cewek-cewek (saya dan kakak) sebenarnya senang melihat blog fashion cowok nongol di antara blog-blog fashion cewek. Pria yang punya selera. Kami pikir mereka cute (asal tahu saja buat cowok-cowok, cute BUKAN antonim macho, arti kata itu lebih ke... unyu. Yeah. Pria yang memerhatikan penampilan bisa saja naik Harley Davidson DAN cuci muka dengan Nivea) dan punya sesuatu yang membedakan mereka dari para pria lainnya. Dan tidak, dia tidak kelihatan lemah. Banyak orang yang aku kenal masih berpikir pria yang memerhatikan penampilan pasti rempong.
It's
no secret but the fashion world has long been modeled by women. Men in
my circle may laugh at smoothly-polished men, but women (particularly my
sister and I) actually do like seeing a fashion blog narrated by a man
sticking out in between women's fashion blogs. A man that has got taste.
We think he's cute (just for you guys' interest, cute is NOT the
opposite of macho, it means more like... huggable. Yeah. Fashionable men can both ride a Harley Davidson AND wash his face with Nivea) and has
something distingushing. And no, he doesn't look lame. Many of the
people I know still think men dressed well-thought-out to have overdone
everything.
Sebenarnya mereka bisa menjaga diri dengan baik. Ambil contoh, sepatu mereka. Apakah sepatunya kusam atau disemir? Sepatu bisa jadi refleksi seseorang.
Bicara tentang pria India, penggambaran Bollywood tentang mereka adalah sumber depiksi pertama dan utama saya. Otot dan kumis. Shah Rukh Khan ganteng, tapi saya hanya bukan penggemar berat otot. Jadi Dev Patel jadi favorit. Tapi tidak ada yang seperti punggung Amit yang membelakangi kita. Seperti Gun di My Princess bilang, "Pasti punggung cowok yang meninggalkan ruangan terlihat keren sekali."
They actually take good care of themselves. Take their shoes
for example. Are they dingy or are they polished? Shoes can be quite a
reflection on people.
And
the thing about Indian men; Bollywood's portrayal of them was my first
and main source of the big picture. Muscles and moustaches. Shah Rukh
Khan is dashing (that's a new word I just learned, means everything you
can dream of a man), but I'm just not into a load of muscles. So Dev
Patel becomes my Indian cup of tea. But nothing like Amit's back towards
us. Like Gun in My Princess said, "How charming must the back of a man
leaving look."
Sisanya saya serahkan kepada Anda. xxx
I'll leave the details to you. xxx
