I understand these were discards? With good reason, IMO.
lafluffy, I absolutely understand what you mean. But remember the name of the issue they were shootiing for...the photographer did an awfully good job of capturing the "sexy" part, I think. Alex has done modeling-type photoshoots before, and I agree that those show more of the outside and less of the inside of him--which is the most beautiful part. But for sheer decorative quality, I think these photos did their job very well.

I understand what
lafluffy is saying too, but I'm just too shallow to be high minded right now. I have never thought these TV Guide photos captured Alex's personality either, but they have always been among my favourite pictures of him. I just can't help it - the man is like pure (or unpure actually

) sex here. The poses and the hairdo (not to mention the surly expressions) are as far removed from the
real Alex as it's possible to get. BUT, and it's a BIG BUT, for sheer unadulterated sexiness this series is hard to beat.
Now if they ever manage to have a professional photo shoot that captures the sexiness AND the personality, well, half of us would be dead from heart failure and the other half stark raving bonkers from the overload of hormones. Mind you, that doesn't stop me from wanting it to happen...take me God - I'm ready!
