Lingerie Catalog

Or, should that read, 'Take Glee, in Lingerie'? U.S. GQ's November 2010 issue devotes a page or two, and more than a Terry Richardson photograph or two to what they call Glee Gone Wild, as in actress Lea Michele above and below

In retropsect, It seems the cast's earlier Rolling Stone cover was just a tease of things to come (or, at least Ms. Michele's rigged panty flash was).



Hey, speaking of rip-offs, wonder where GQ got their headline?

So, that's pretty much the post I wrote earlier this week for today. Since then, it seems some have taken notice of the GQ article, or more likely, Mr. Richardson's photographs of the cast (and poor Mr. Monteith may as well have been a hat rack as we - jokingly - treated him above for all the notice anyone is taking of his presence next to Ms. Agron and Michele). First, The Parent's Television Council had a hissy, but so did some parents of younger Glee fans.

Before all this, I hadn't really expected anyone to say all that much beside, 'Hot!' ..and maybe way too much makeup.
Dianna Agron and Lea Michele are both 24 years old, and Cory Monteith is 28 (hell, he's a bit older than me and he's playing a high school student? Meh, welcome to TV. Remind you of anyone else older who did the same not long ago?). And, have any of the critics, including the parents of those very young fans actually watched the show with those children? I wouldn't say those are all Disney-G-rated stories, nor did they ever pretend they were. TV Guide reported Dianna Agron's take on it from her blog:

'I understand that in today's world of advanced technology, the internet, our kids can be subject to very adult material at the click of a button,' she wrote. 'But there are parental locks, and ways to get around this.'

'If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?'
