Do pretty people hibernate for winter?
By Charles Winters
Spring is in the air in New York City, and something is happening that occurs every year: the beautiful people are coming out of hiding. It’s a phenomenon I never noticed while growing up in Tennessee, but something unique happens as the temperature rises in the Big Apple. The most beautiful people appear as if out of nowhere. You haven't noticed them all winter long, then suddenly the temperature tops 65 degrees and there are blankets of gorgeous shirtless guys sunbathing all over the place. The shirts get smaller and the pants get tighter. Though not a lot of New Yorkers wear shorts, you can clearly tell these beautiful people are perfectly tanned from head to toe.
So where have all these gorgeous people been all winter long? Do they hibernate? I decided to ask a few over the weekend.
Some gorgeous tall blond (sans shirt of course), who refused to tell his name (or give me his number) said he and his beautiful friends spend a lot of winter weekends in Miami and the rest of the time at the gym.
Roger, another beautiful specimen I caught rollerblading in the park, says the pretty people are always around. He says it is "just harder to notice when you're wearing baggy clothes."
Wilson, who I bumped into (literally, but on purpose) at Rush, said pretty people don't like to be out in the cold weather because it isn't good for your skin. "The only I really leave the house is when it is warm unless I'm stepping out for GTL." I don't even know what GTL is. Wilson laughed at me when I asked.
One thing is consistent: they sure are pretty, but not too modest. None of these guys even acted shocked that I told them I was surveying beautiful people for an article I'm writing. And not one person denied the fact that the might be gorgeous. Maybe humility and hotness is the perfect package?
