Terry Richardson: Would You Do Blow With This Man?

Am I the only New Yorker who has never been able to figure out why creepy uncle-cum-hipster icon/mainstream quasi-pornographer Terry Richardson is the slightest bit relevant? I’d say it was a generation gap thing, but the man is older than me, yet he is lionized by the 18-30 year old set and those who masturbate furiously to the notion that they’re younger than their true peers.
I’ve always been utterly disgusted by this guy, yet strangely fascinated, and I guess that’s the long and short of it. VICE Magazine is up the man’s ass like a hamster, and in 2004 Australia’s Lee Jeans paid him an unprecedented 200,000 to shoot their ad campaign. That dirty fucking scumbag nails all of his models, and they’re real models too. As in hot, young, and full of drugs. And they let him deliver the bone which I just don’t understand, and would rather not think about.
He’s living the life, yet he’s covered in shitty tattoos, wanks the sleaziest moustache a man ever wanked, and has the body of a meth addict. (Not the Sizemore kind, the juvenile delinquent kind.) Let’s say nothing of those fearsome yellow 70’s shooter glasses and that ridiculous buzzcut. Or let’s. No, let’s not.
I remember my aunt once remarking that if you looked hard enough at Rick James, you could contract a venereal disease. Whereas I think that if you look hard enough at Terry Richardson, you’ll never want to have sex again.
Some particularly NSFW images are available HERE. Please note that in the image where he’s rimming the supermodel, he has quite visible earwax. What the fuck gives? What am I missing here? Why do the fashionable elite drop everything, panties and all, for this scrawny pervert?

he has all the good drugs, connections, and cash. plus, he can introduce you to jayz and karl lagerfeld. girls would get with much grosser dudes than this for all that, plus 15 seconds of fame. no mystery here!
the tats are pretty fucking horrible, but he has a good body, i think.
He’s a sleezebag getting paid to bang hot models. Surely he has something to teach us.
Joel nailed it. Look at results, people!
eww. I would not hit it.
I’m simply not down with the ironic “he’s no nasty he’s sexy again” thing. In fact, I’m pretty much always opposed to the whole “so X it’s Y again” mystique, ever.
yes Susie, his knees are waaaay too sharp
He is my hero, my “exhibit A” in proving that women will sink to any depth to climb one rung up the social ladder.
Some women, Eddie. The bad ones. Not all of us would do that. But thanks for making such a ridiculous sweeping statement!
OK Susie, All women but you and my mom….do you feel better now?
A little.
His photography’s good and he’s a photographer. I think a lot of this is testosterone flavored sour grapes
