I know that it's joking but I think you're actually sort of right here as he's often seen drinking or drunk and his mother is a recovering alcoholic. I'm not saying he's an alcoholic but I sure have to wonder why you'd be drinking the Budweiser in a photo shoot when you should be respecting your mom.
I could be wrong but hasn't Alex said his favorite book is Lolita?!?!?

I think he did, actually....uhhhhhh uhhhhh and not that I know any of his dating history outside of KB and AC but they both looked like "budding" young girls with their too skinny frames...

Not even trying to imply Alex is a child predator, please don't think I am!!
 
Yeah, the issue is Terry Richardson and working with him. And that's problematic but it's indicative only of a bad choice IMHO with who he's chosen to work with and nothing more (I do wish he'd said no because I really detest TR and everything he is)

Lolita is a classic. It's content disturbing, but it's also contextual in that many view it also as about Europe's relationship with the United States - we studied the book at school, and it's a multi-layered story.

Much as Orwell's Animal Farm or Lord of the Flies by Golding touches on disturbing subjects and sometimes the grotesque, they are never the less important works of literature.

Humbert is a deplorable creature, yet readers often find empathy with him even as they are disgusted - because the writing is so good - Alex also speaks about finding characters such as these interesting and meaty. It's obscene and it's a masterpiece. Humbert is not defined as a hero, he's pathetic - and a murderer, and a pedophilic predator.

He's been seen reading many books The Serious Game by Hjalmar Söderberg, Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America - does that mean he's a tragic romantic or a strident enviromentalist?

I read American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Dirty Weekend by Helen Zahavi - it doesn't mean I'm a serial killer...lol

Except to me the content, context and tone of your last few comments make it seem like you're trying to imply many things.

And yes, the focus should be on why he made a stupid photo shoot choice and hoping this isn't something that he does again.
Do we know that for sure? :p
I read a lot on nationalism, genocide and fascism. Doesn't mean that I support those things.
Alex reads a lot, he's also said that one of his favorite books is Master and Margarita. His book likes, like almost anyone's book likes, can probably be easily over-interpreted.

And thanks for the new pics Santress, he looks delightfully fluffy.

the sad thing about lolita is that so many people feel pity and sympathy towards the rapist, yes a child rapist, rather than the victim. that is so reflective of our society and its sickening. read this article. sums it up and is gut wrenching to know that so many people are more inclined to automatically empathize with a predator than with a victim. this is our culture right now. i wish he would at least address the controversy of this photo shoot but he will take the cowardly way out and ignore it until it fades i mean there are so few people actually calling him out that its easy to ignore. his fangirls are very much like ***** supporters in that nothing their "guy" does can be wrong, no matter what. very sad and scary.

We're off-topic now but that's one article. Yes, he's (Humbert) a pedophile. I don't think people feel sorry for him at all. The best writers see the humanity in even the most wretched, vile characters. Lolita is written from Humberts POV so we know from the beginning his viewpoint is skewed and full of messed up justification..

I mean I think Alex made a bad choice in working with Terry there really is no denying that, but that doesn't make him a pedophile. That is exactly what you were implying. Especially if you felt the need to say you weren't implying that. I won't even make excuses or be naive about it. He made a very big mistake. As for the body thing that doesn't make someone a pedophile, he has a type it is true. I don't think KB was as sickly skinny as AC. AC looks like an unhealthy skinny where as to KB just looked petite. The difference is muscle tone. Kate still had muscle where Alexa didn't have any, anywhere.
