The "I LOVE everything Jack" thread
Sheriff Roland:
re: bandanas
Here's the image from Tom of Finland that led me to think of bandanas as a supposedly masculine touch, in the gay world - in the early 60's (of course I'm not completely certain of the date of this image - nor do I think that bandana adds anything to masculinity, in this image)
2 guys in the background are wearing them
Sheriff Roland:
And here are two othe images, from Tom of Finland which also uses bandanas, though again, they aren't what I find most attractive about these pics again - I believe that they're from the sixties - but by this time, there's a lot more leather in Tom's pics
JT:
Some hot drawings you got there, Roland!
But I just love Jack with his bandana. It's so cowboyish and sexy. And Jack pulls it off quite nicely with his outfit and coloring. He's a "killer" all right.

I couldn't agree more. And what a way to go. ;D
Penth, I think maybe we're just disagreeing on semantics. I think one can be quietly confident and comfortable in his own skin but yet still be occasionally vulnerable. I think maybe that's what I find so appealing about Jack, and about other fictional characters and real men I've historically been the most attracted to - someone who is generally self-possessed and self-assured always puts me at ease. But someone who has those qualities and yet is too cold-hearted to ever have his soul laid bare by another human being is not appealing to me at all. Always and forever, whenever a character (or someone I know personally) who is confident and assured (without being cocky, of course, because that's a sure sign of insecurity) suddenly looks at the object of his affection with the eyes of a child, I say good-bye to a little piece of my heart. I don't see children as insecure - just trusting and naive in their trust - vulnerable. They're perhaps on the same tree, but different branches in my mind.

Penth: Jack does NOT say "right," no matter how recently you saw the DVD, he says "yeah," and it's the most perfect one-syllable lie I ever heard...
Agree that Jack finds Lureen attractive; this is different from being attracted to her.
I don't like hunks, straigtht or gay, but Jack in his bandana is definitely hot. Hey, just try to imagine Jack in any outfit, from any period of history....hot.
