Anthony Keegan and Richard Christiansen's one-year-old label Commonwealth Utilities staged one of the more unique shows of the season: The Spring/Summer 2010 collection at the legendary Astor Place Hair barbershop.
Spotted was "It" boy and Official Crush Object TM Chad White, who returns to Rod 2.0 after a too-long hiatus. Chad was last seen in bondage-themed gladiator sporno and was also spotted this week at Baby Phat.

Hmm...That's fashion? I missed my calling. I admit that I never got the Chad White obsession on all the gay blogs. He's got a nice body and face, but in a completely generic way. No Umph! at all. He looks like a thousand other interchangeable guys on the internet or local gayborhood.

Reggie Resino, it's in the eyes...

@ MJ:
I think what it is about Chad is his eyes and his cheek structure. But he's very handsome and has a causal jock type masculinity.
And no offense but the last Chad White post on this blog was February 12, 2008. Hardly an "obsession" lol
Oh and D, you come across as a hater. Weren't you saying less Will Demps and more Alen Iverson?

"Official Crush Object TM Chad White" is absolutely right!!! Chad and Kerry Degman make a great team, especially when Joe Lally is involved, http://contributingeditor.blogspot.com/2009/08/sex-is-not-enemy.html

I usually don't comment on the blog items about men I don't particularly find all that attractive. But I could never understand why people come on here and diss people's look. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. No one should berate someone else for who they find attractive. When I was younger, I used to get offended by black men who were mostly interested in white guys. I would call them snow queens. I am now 43 years old and it doesn't bother me at all now. I love my black brothers of many hues. But I have no right to hate on those you prefer the white boys.
Rod showcases many men. I don't hate on him for that. He focuses mostly on black men, but sometimes he shows non-blacks as well. If some people prefer certain men, then they should peruse the sites that focus mainly on those men. Rod 2.0 is more than just looking at fine men. Rod serves the black gay community by focusing on issues and controversies that affect us directly. When someone needs to be called out, he does it. Check out the story about Tim Hardaway. Some people who comment are only heard from when the story is about fluff. They rarely if ever comment on the hard news stories like gay bashing, civil rights, AIDS awareness, and other insightful issues.
If you don't like a particular type of person shown here, then don't comment. Since you have already demonstrated the ability to not comment on everything, then don't comment on this as well. You should know by now that Rod is going to feature who he wants to feature. It's his blog and he pays the costs to be the boss.

I want Kerry to stay away from Chad. I am starting to think something is going on because every time I see Kerry, I see Chad. Literally.
