buzz bissingers gucci addiction

I bought dozens of stretch jeans and leather leggings and leather pants that sculpted my lower body the way I wanted, with no room for speculation.

oh god, buzz.

I bought dozens of boots, some with a flat or low heel that any man can wear, some with five-inch heels that only a man with real balls could wear.

Lisa in general liked the rocker look. But there were times I was too outrageous for her taste, and she began to feel like she was living with a hoarder. The kids liked the flair, maybe, but there were times they seemed embarrassed, or simply stunned. My friends, particularly those from Philadelphia, were appalled and confused and amused. With the exception of Lisa, nobody had any real idea of the extent of my addiction.

they all hate you, im very sorry

this midlife crisis would not be so patently horrifying if he had also maybe hired a full-time personal trainer and a nutritionist because holy god buzz what are you doing, you realize that you have the same body as before right? buzz? hello?

this midlife crisis would not be so patently horrifying if it happened to someone who was less unpleasant

I began to seek sexual expression in the form of high fashion, men's because I liked the hardness and women's because I liked the sexiness. Blended together, it became a rocker look, particularly with the three skull rings on each hand to fit my usual dark mood.

oh buzz

also if he had slightly better taste

I did engage in a relationship with a dominatrix after the failure of my second marriage. I left the scene after two years. But I clearly missed it, the trappings of leather increasingly irresistible. I liked extreme feelings of restraint and taking pain. But I was also interested in everything.

During the Gucci trip a fellow invitee said I looked like "Bon Jovi," a compliment that at this point in my life means more to me than any piece of writing.

oh honey... that was not intended as a compliment.

xp but he doesn't have a leather fetish

what would really round his look out is a ponytail

haha otm, the greasy greying ponytail of depair

T/S: having your personal style compared to Bon Jovi vs. having your personal style compared to Bon Iver

I grew a ponytail. I bought 50 different Gucci hair ties. I bought 25 Fendi. I asked a gay black to pull on my new sensual ponytail, to which he replied "Girlfriend you are one hot mess!" That's right I am a hot mess, a hot rocker mess. I bought more leathers. I constructed a closet for my leathers.

this is all too real

the quivering, leather-clad sensuality of buzz bissinger

too real

I bought a skateboard. A leather skateboard. I ollied over my teenage self.

I went to Brooks Brothers late at night. Dressed in my leathers. I masturbated on the window. Something I had never been able to do.

i dont care about rich people buying leather jackets but seriously please stop saying 'rocker' and stop wearing rings that have skulls on them, you are like 60, jeez

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE SEX TOURISM??

I also went to Hong Kong and Macao with some friends. We went to sex clubs, many, many sex clubs with many, many women. We became tired. Four days seemed like four years.

he is a terrible person

by the time i got to that part i was just like of course you are a sex tourist

Although having yelled that, I'm not sure what else to say about it. Kinda leaning towards "this man is an odious blot" but hey, at least the cup overflowething with entitlement is clearly visible in this one instead of being hidden behind bowties and WASPy manners?

yeah i feel like he was pretty otm abt being a narcissist, like theres nothing really good abt him coming out w all of this, except for the lolz

I found a Prada leather in my butthole. It was the same as the one i was wearing. I went online and bought a third. My wife doesn't think I'm a monster.

this is one of the most hilarious things i've ever read

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE SEX TOURISM??

i probably should've kept reading past the skull ring parts huh

I found myself submerged into the "dark web," where I could fully indulge in my dual pleasures of human trafficking and buying exotic leather goods. i bought gloves made from the skin taken from the back of a young cambodian girl. they were gorgeous. i was hooked. i bought more. a beautiful leather wallet with prison tattoos that i keep on a chain, taken from the thigh of a russian hustler. i bought a hat made out of an albino. it felt good.

Thank you, you're a genius.

I occasionally wondered to myself why I felt the need to murder prostitutes. But then the need returned like a wave. Why ask questions. I was its slave.

lmao

it does kinda time out, patrick bateman +30 yrs

i was about to say!

i do love the fact that he takes such pride in how many people 'compliment' him on his clothing, like he doesn't understand that most people just have the basic decency not to laugh directly in his face

*preemptive praise*

omg lagoon i love u for this thread for real

I CANNOT WAIT TO READ THAT GQ PIECE OMG THE PHOTOS AHAHAHA

only issue with the piece is that it's dying for more photos

oh god it's already delivering:

Before I left, I promised my wife I would be restrained. She is very concerned, because she knows what can happen. But inches from the runway, waiting for the smooth mannequin boys with surgically removed hips and buttocks swaying like sunglassed Gumbys with the newest designs from creative director Frida Giannini, I know the promise is useless.

waiting for the smooth mannequin boys
waiting for the smooth mannequin boys
waiting for the smooth mannequin boys
waiting for the smooth mannequin boys
waiting for the smooth mannequin boys
waiting for the smooth mannequin boys

tell me that he's trolling. tell me that he hasn't delivered this up for the sole purpose of hilarity

It has taken a while to figure out what works and what doesn't work, but Gucci men's clothing best represents who I want to be and have become—rocker, edgy, tight, bad boy, hip, stylish, flamboyant, unafraid, raging against the conformity that submerges us into boredom and blandness and the sexless saggy sackcloths that most men walk around in like zombies without the cinematic excitement of engorging flesh.

it's like he's possessed by Don Simpson

please tell me it ends with him snorting rails of coke off a Gucci model in his hotel room

this guy

oh my god i'm dead

buzz, perhaps more then anyone else alive today, is living his truth

In his free time, he’s at work on a book (via Harper Collins) about football, the Marines, and World War II.

this whole guy

he is so throughly a straight boomer man, and yet

he contains multitudes

its hilarious/sad how he has like zero taste in any of this shit and looks awful

his passion makes him beautiful

Side question, do we think he found that first cream while sex-touring Southeast Asia or was it just a chill cruise

As a skin-product obsessed person sans the financial means to indulge fully, I get it.
But I can’t imagine the stuff he lists all interacts that well together? I mean just the retinol alone, his face must look like it’s been saran-wrapped.

Go with god, Buzz, you beautiful icarus

Rock me amadeus

I like that he isn't switching over completely to writing about these things, but does all this while working on a book about football and the Marines.

Did not know about this!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0IGgpiPss

the music in that trailer is absolutely bananas

yo this is some wildin out shit

Only halfway through tonight but this is really good, just because he is such a one-of-a-kind person.

oh I'd forgotten all about this

this thread had a lot of buzz tho

legend

Buzz is back!

“Did I really want to spend a million dollars on leather? It was an incredible waste of money. I’m embarrassed and ashamed. But … you know what? Fuck it.” — Buzz Bissinger https://t.co/fQzDsmUpiB

dude looks terrible but respect nonetheless

yeah thats the punchline

interviewer comes off as patronizing, maybe intentionally idk but it was a bit much

i mean, buzz is an odd duck & maybe they were going for lols but i think you’d still get a good interview out of him if you didn’t do that

I had seen at a bookstore yesterday that he was giving a reading this week and looked up the interview from there. I really admire how he is how he wants to be appearance-wise but still practicing his craft, with a book about football during World War II.

I like how he doesn’t overexplain or overdefine himself. But it does make for incongruous interviews. Was really curious to know what the audience and Q&A will be like at this reading (but can’t go, unfortunately).

that new book sounds right up my alley imo, i am def going to check it out

Women love it. Minorities love it. White men are terrified

new ilx politics board description?

also agree this guy a legend and new book sounds great
