I came across this picture on a French fashion blog, and I keep going back and looking at it over and over again. As far as I can tell it's from the launch presentation for a Victor & Rolf fragrance Antidote. (I sure wish I spoke French, because I'd love to be able to read everything brieuc75 has to say, but instead I'll have to content myself with all the pretty pictures. This blog is a great source of fantastic fashion images.)
I love the look, the style and the elegance of these guys in formal dress dancing together. I think part of the appeal for me is about men subverting a traditionally heterosexual activity like ballroom dancing. But then, I've always loved the look of a man in formal dress anyway, a pair of them is a bonus.
What I was actually Google searching for when I found this blog were pictures of my latest crush, fashion designer Gaspard Yurkievich:
Le sigh. The same designer who scandalised the press with a fashion show that had all the (fully dressed) male models simulating group sex on a pair of green leather sofas. Doesn't that just make you love him even more?

Mon frere Andrew, you have given me much fabulosity (or fag-ulosity!) to research and transfer to Fabulon. And that can only be because YOU are fabulous! Merci!
You're welcome! Compared to the embarassment of riches you've given me... I'm glad I can help!
Thank you for all these fabulous words about me. I'm very pleased to be read in Australia. If you know Kylie...
'Le sigh'. oh stop, you're killin' me! I'm going to be saying that all day now. :)
You could always http://babelfish.altavista.com/ the blog... okay, it's not a perfect translation, and sometimes a little unintentionally humourous, but it would give you an idea about what's going on...
brieuc75, thanks for your comment! I love your blog. And sadly, I wish I did know Kylie...
Amy, part credit for 'le sigh' has to be laid at the feet of Michael Guy of 'Temporary Troublespots' - but it was very apt for this instance, non?
Yani, good suggestion! I once had an Italian stove and the instruction manual read like some Babelfish silliness. Kept talking about the 'ailiment' instead of food.
