I'm not into chaps in that way, but I'd've thought Prince William was about as sexy as a cup of tepid cocoa. What about Yul Brynner?
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I think he's past he's best before date by a distance. The point though is more about the fake news

Yes, I realise I was being somewhat irrelevant. The headline, though, doesn't specify that they have to be alive.

Shows how it's possible to make a story out of nothing. The media do that all the time.

Bald can definitely be sexy though.  William is a bit young for me but I know lots of young women who have him as a pin up, he definitely has something about him.
