Cristiano Ronaldo was recently voted as the Ulitmate Gay Icon by over 3,000 gay men in a recent poll. He beat out Kylie Minogue, Judy Garland, The Village People and David Beckham. 

That’s quite an achievement, no? Never thought we’d see David trumped by any other footballer for that title.  The official line from the prestigious and respected world ranking system of the (SFW) Gay Gold Diggers website:

“Ronaldo’s ripped body, slicked-back hair, shiny white teeth and jewellery swung the votes his way.He looks like any gay man or woman’s dream. What with being Footballer of the Year, scoring 42 goals last season and former girlfriends saying he is talented off the pitch, he seems to have everything going for him.“

Yes, the website is called Gay Gold Diggers.  You’re not familiar?

Congratulations C-Ron, enjoy the status upgrade. We’re looking forward to seeing you back on the pitch. 

Kickettes, do spare a thought for our David, who has been shockingly demoted during an aggressive Armani-ass out campaign season.  Life is so unfair.

We love us some Beckham-fash-action, but it’s time that certain things in the repertoire are permanently retired:

1. Victoria’s bob. We hated it, we liked it, we were indifferent.  Now we are just over it.  Remember those happy, lush-locked days full of wefts and glue and bald spots?  We miss that.

2. As for David, sure, he is consistently sexy and could walk the streets in a tube skirt and Crocs and would still be hot, but it’s time to let go of the half-tucked shirt trend that never was.

We’re withholding judgment on David’s tucked tie and Victoria’s Proenza Schouler shine-fest of a dress until we’ve had some form of caffeinated beverage.

Think it’s safe to say, if we saw David “Soccer Dad” Beckham at our local park in coaching mode, the combination of his “daddliness” and “nuturingness” and all the other “ness” words that we can’t be bothered to come up with right now would most likely cause us to jump on him.

Just sayin’.

David Beckham: Choices, Covers and Clothing

Last time we checked, the individuals featured on the cover of Men’s Health magazine tend to be of the shirtless and highly- dehydrated- for- better- ab- definition variety.

imageSo what gives with David Beckham being featured fully-clothed and re-bearded?  We’re totally canceling our subscription on principle alone. 

Who is managing the editorial policy of this magazine, for God’s sake, someone with ethics?

In other Becks news, he and Victoria were at the Teen Choice Awards in Hollywood last night – David won the Top Athlete award, which is voted on by thousands of teens across the States.

It may or may not also be voted on by those masquerading as teens and doctoring hundreds of ballots and bribing the tabulation committee. 

Not that we would know anything about such scandalous behaviour.

Style observations on Mrs. Beckham: We’re very up on the curls and down on the nude polish.

We prefer the darker look seen earlier this week on Louise Redknapp. We’re such nail prudes.

Do you nude your nails, Kickettes?
