Dressing the Dunbars

I hate to say this, but maybe the chest hair was part of his costume for The Runner. You know, implants? Ok, that is a stretch, I know, but why on earth would they shave his chest hair? Is he a biker? Does he swim or play water polo? No, he's a cop, and I've never heard, of a little chest hair affecting a cop's ability to do the job. Now, the flip-flops he wears throughout The Runner, those could slow Jimmy Dunbar down a bit, not to mention the damage Hank might do stepping on his toes. But the chest hair, it should have stayed.

I hate to say this, but I have been taking an informal survey recently about RE's chest hair. It's also there in Mystery Alaska. Looks like it's there in Death of a Salesman screen caps, etc. I have to review the rest of my DVD's to see where else it shows up.

I'm at a loss for an explanation of why they would want him hairless for BJ!! Maybe the person who made that call was the same one who dressed Christie??

And the same person who dressed Marty! I wonder what show this person is currently working on.

I think, and this is just an opinion, that the same person wanted the chest hair gone as who wanted him to have those long sideburns ending ever-so-slightly in a point. Ron Eldard himself.

Really? You're doing research on Ron Eldard's chest hair? That is such an entertaining mental image! Thanks for that.

Kathy, in the course of your research could you look into this theory? Frankly I will be very disappointed in Mr. Eldard's fashion sense if it was his idea to make the side burns pointy and shave the chest hair. Get that man a stylist, quick!

This is hysterical -- researching a man's chest hair? Maybe he waxes (more effective than shaving) for two reasons: a smooth surface better shows off his beautiful musculature, and those fitted shirts drape better over skin than they would over a thicket of fur! I, personally, like his smooth-but-oh-so-manly chest -- like looking at a classic piece of sculpture .

The sideburns never bothered me in Blind Justice. I was too busy sniggering over the clumsiness of the makeup designer -- the bullet scores a great bloody trough across the man's temple, and he winds up with that little flesh-colored jujube stuck to the side of his head? Uh, I don't think so!

Maggie, you have such a way with words. I can't stop laughing over this discussion. And if he was vain enough to go from mousey brown hair at the bank to those spiky blond streaks when he gets his job back. (Is it possible Christy had this done to him without him even knowing. "Oh gee sweetie, this is just a conditioning rinse they are putting on now.) then maybe he had some plastic surgery done to diminish that scar. (Which moves occasionally- sometimes it's under the glasses arm and sometimes above it.

You have no idea how much more (or more nearly) normal it makes me feel to know that at least one other person on the planet has paid attention to the state of RE's chest hair.

Speaking of waxing, have you seen the chest waxing scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin? Now there's a thicket.

i'll call you on the chest hair issue,,and raise you two,, but since i can't figure out how to keep photobucket while being on this one,, there will be two more caps to follow,,

now,,once you stop drooling,, ( i wear a lobster bib,, myself ) and look very very closely,, i'm sure you'll see some little sqiggly hairs poking themselves above his " wife beater",, which brings me to a sensitive point,, i have never heard of that word for tank top,, being a beaten wife in my first marriage,,seeing words like that seem to bring back flashbacks, even though it's been 20 yrs,, some things still tend to creep out at ya,,

now,, back to this topic,, i will be submitting two more caps to prove my point of his chest hairs,, and we'll let the others make the call,,
stay tuned,,

You make an excellent point dogma! I don't think anyone will have a problem with banning the term "wife beater" on this board from now on. We will refer to them as tank tops, or undershirts. Does that work for everyone?

[dogma]

exhibit # 2,, now,, you tell me,, how can you not see those chest hairs? once you take your eyes off his pecs,, and eye lashes sigh,,

married or not,, i'll never stop looking,, my d/h likes reba macintyre,, so i can have my r/e

exhibit # 3 to follow very shortly

Mine is partial to Meg Ryan and Gwen Stefani!





Come to think of it I do bear a striking resemblance to both of them! ;D

thanks, mouse,, i appreciate it,, i didn't want to sound like i was being too picky,,

now,, i'm sure even carl will have an opinion on this cap,,but no one can say there isn't a ton of chest hair on this one,, as perry mason would say,, " i rest my case"


getting ready for work,, you all have a nice safe day,, god bless,, dogma et al

i look like them , too,,if i was 20 yrs younger,, 30 pounds lighter,, and dyed my hair,, we could be triplets

[rducasey]

Then it's very possible that those chest hairs seen on Jimmy in exhibit #2 could just possible be Hanks. (Trust me, I know, we have a black and a yellow lab and a golden retriever and let me talk to you about dog hair.)

I am not convinced there is chest hair there - too shadowy! Can someone with a big screen TV or a DVD player that can zoom in please confirm whether there is chest hair, or not?

As far as the tank top - I had heard them referred to quite a few times in that objectionable way, but agree that from now on, we'll go with the tank top!
