In other words, I think you might have mistaken a very large amount of **** giving for an actual dislike in the past, some posters, of course, excepted.
I tend to agree. He's been a great sport even when the harshest criticism has been placed upon him.

He seems to be a nice guy and that was not a personal attack on him.
I'm just surprised by the all thing and the noise made around the Esquire competition and the Foofing phenomenon..
We all come on Style Forum for different reasons ,some for socializing ,some for advice and I'm coming for the latter..
Good luck to him anyway...

I suppose, with his level of infamy and his tastes, that it was somewhat unexpected for him to enter, especially as none of us here would be genuinely interested in, or lacking for, a Kenneth Cole wardrobe

The Foofing is fair play, however, as he's obviously skilled with Photoshop, and no matter the results, a different perspective on an outfit is created from his efforts

PS - OMG! some of these guys are too funny. I've been howling with laughter looking at these douche don juan's... it's sad, it's funny, I don't know what to think!

One of the other semi-finalists has over 60,000 views, no? I don't think I have much of a chance to win fan favorite.

Do you want me to mobilize popular opinion?

Twitter? Oprah?

Foo is just so cute. I am sure he would be great fun for my kids to play with. A lifesize Rubinacci doll!

It's a good thing he has that great Rubinacci wardrobe or he would look about 17 instead of 27.

That would not be a good thing in court!

You do have my multiple vote and I hope you win. I'll take a conservative, boring, high quality look over Raf and Jil anyday.

Yeah, and he works retail in Vegas while wearing Armani. Your style is about 1000 times more original and classic than his.

AAAC has 7 of the top 25 and if SF has 3 thats a combined total of 40% of the finalists. Not bad considering there were almost 500 entrants!
