A stud with a hairdryer, apparently.

I have been tracking the evolution of the word "stud" lately. In "Bitch" from 1971, The Rolling Stones clearly relate the term stud to a horse:

Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
Kicking the stall all night

This ad, which I would guess is about a year or two later, clearly makes that link as well, with the explicit cowboy connection. By the mid-1970s, though, I remember the term being used generally for a well-dressed and masculine man (sometimes modified by "stylin'") without any specific reference to farm animals.

So, in the semiotic chain, these jeans turn an inexperienced rider (dude) into a...horse? I read an Ursula K. LeGuin story about that once. :D

A powerfully fertile, extremely masculine horse!

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=stud

"meaning "man who is highly active and proficient sexually" is attested from 1895; that of "any young man" is from 1929."

But those shirts make you look like a dork! seriously, WTH?

True, true - yet later on, the guy in the middle became a major movie star and sex symbol - do you recognize him?

Looks kinda like Robert Redford. That sure is an eyepopping white.

Sort of, but it's not him - this dude is taller, and never became a star of Redford's magnitude.

I was just going ask, "Is that Nick Nolte?".
Nice shirt, Nick, it's almost as hot as your belt and crisp white jeans. Gag.

I can remember when those outfits were very hot. Though nobody would have worn them all starchy like that. The collars usually lay down a little softer. Also nix on the shiny shoes. Adidas Tobaccos or desert boots.

I have about 5 pairs of H.I.S Jeans! One's a burnt red corduroy pair that I love, the other four belong to my fiance. They're all low rise hipster jeans from the late 60s early 70s.

Nick Nolte has a MySpace haircut!! HAHAHAHAHA!

I google-imaged Nick Nolte just to be sure I meant Nick Nolte and not Gary Busey, and I came over here all proud to declare - Hey, that's Nick Nolte in the middle! But I was beaten to the punch... many times over...

Back to bed.

PS: I actually really love that shirt on the right.

I mix up Nick Nolte and Gary Busey as well. Must be something about both of them being crazy blonde fellas.

You're right, the shirt on the right is kind of hot on its own.

February 20 2007, 09:26:36 UTC 5 years ago

Crazy blonde fellas with massive lower jaws and jutting chins.

And pretty little flowered shirts that turn a Bachelor's Button into a Pansy?
(Oh, wait, it's all right, they're wearing Dingos!)
