Never mind Sexy Back, this is very hairy back:
Hats off to Australian magazine 'Life Lounge' for this brilliant collection of inexplicably random Australian band shots which range from hairy back (urgh) photos to pictures of men who would be fairly cute if they had kept their kilts on, to a band that felt the need to cuddle a baby and dog.
These silly-looking musicians have really cheered me up!
Implications - The tanned, hairless men that were once popular in many advertising campaigns have seemed to drift away. As oppose to heterosexual men that were once in abundance, businesses should note that there has been a reversion toward hairier men, as they are viewed as more masculine according to many women.
