These photos are from a February 7th New York Times story in the Style section (p. E1 and E6) about changes in what male fashion models look like. This first picture shows some male models from the 1990s.
These three photos show the new ideal: very thin, lanky, and pasty.

As a woman I've got to say that I like thin, lanky, and pasty men better :D

If you want more fodder, Hedi Slimane formerly of Dior Homme started this trend. Thank god as I'm sick of seeing these buff meatheads. This is a real body. This is what my body looks like. Fashion is made for this type of body. And I am not ashamed. I can eat fried chicken and still fit into these pieces. It's time for the every day lanky guy to be represented.
