Being the devoted people watcher, I've kept a desktop folder full of strange and unusual photos found while wandering about through the depths of the Internet. The folder contains dozens of categories, notes and cross references. I've amassed enough to begin a new series of paintings: Glistening Superstars of the Internet. In an age where anyone can attract attention and fame simply for just being, I decided to paint the portraits of some of the more interesting humans I've come across.
This week's focus examines Men Who Enjoy Wearing Brassieres. Donald spent hours in front of the mirror gazing upon the vision of womanhood staring back at him. Marveling over his new rubber bra (so realistic!) while admiring the way his tight lycra shorts seemed to slim his legs, he reached for his prized tube of Revlon Cherries in the Snow and sloppily applied a thick smear of scarlet below his bristly mustache. Tired from so much primping and preening, Donald soon flopped across his comfortable old sofa and relaxed while his cat Marilyn sat vigilantly warding off any potential predators.

If you google "men in bras", this is one of the top images that shows up...and what a delightful image it is. I imagine he had his bra special ordered to reflect his dual personality. One cup features bright and cheery polka dots to represent his girly side while the other cup is crafted with a more masculine camouflage fabric. Either that, or he found it tangled up in the lingerie bin at the Goodwill. Whatever the case may be, he appears satisfied with the way the bra reshapes his moobs into rounded beauty curves.

I'm pissing my pants here! Man, that's great! The cat especially!

I can understand a cute feminine looking man wearing a bra, but these guys are fat ugly and OLD. I guess it's the contrast that excites them.

Nice. You don't happen to know where I can get one of those bras do you?

Donald is quite interesting... the cat is so alert and real, my attention is drawn to it. but then Donald... he looks so utterly exhausted with the world, and yet his red lips suggest he is turned on or at least warm inside...wait that's lipstick? oh... Donald confuses me, but I can't stop staring at him. I think if the cat wasn't there he might never move again.

What happens to these people that brings on such desires? Donald has such a look of resignation, and yet, I'm sure that he's getting his money's worth out of his new bra.

The real question is why are you googling "men in bras" in the first place, missy. I LOVE these. You've completely pulled of both disturbing and beautiful at the same time and it's not easy. Nice rendering of shoulder hair in that first one!

How depressing. They look better in their bras than I do. Surprisingly perky!

Maybe this guy wants to be a woman who wants to be a lesbian as it sure looks like he enjoys getting some pussy.

while it's on my mind I'd like to ask---Is there anybody out there who finds Charlie Sheen and his moronic tv show even remotely funny?

The expression on the second guy's face made me crack up. Those are fantastic!!!
