Bobby Rake – That All-American Star Quality
It's not at all often that I describe a male model as being "beautiful", but after a friend of mine sent me some photos of the gorgeous Bobby Rake this morning I have to confess that this is the first thing that came into my mind when considering how I would describe him.
I should also say that the reason my friend sent me these photos is because he knows I have a thing for James Dean and River Phoenix, and if you have an interest in either you will get the connection here.
I don't know if it's fair to say that Bobby Rake has been a little "typecast", but he seems to be one of those young male models who everyone wants to put in a 1950's setting.
Maybe they see that James Dean thing in him? Or maybe there's a cultural thing when it comes to that decade and style, that certain young male models can do excellently?
I don't know what it is, but I have to admit I can see it. It really is as though he's emulating a classic Hollywood heartthrob, and he's doing it very well too ;)
Maybe those beestung lips …
Yep, the queer attraction to the James Dean / River Phoenix look escapes me. If you’re a pedophile, sure, the thin, teen look is compelling. But, otherwise … there’s not much there.
Oy vey..beautiful James Dean! Can you imagine making that impact on this Earth with so few movies he made?Bobby has a great face
