@gspinc1 No hun! Sorry, I don't even know if they are still in business. maybe if you type it in maybe yuo can find it.

@laminage I did not know that...Do you recall for what brand of contact lens? I'd love to see him in that...All of the guys in this Ban ad are outstanding & so handsome but in a very classic, clean-cut, fresh looking way...

@gspinc1 Oh did you know that the fellow at the end of the Commerical was also in a Commercial for Contact Lenses. His character was so sweet bringing his wife Breakfast in Bed and the Wife reciprocated.

the "Married With Children" theme song :)

@laminage Yes, I remember cK and Lauren's take on Hip Hop but it seemed Tommy Hil really vaulted to the top with his Hip-Hop inspired fashions. His jeans reminded me of Salt-n-Pepper's Shoop song:

"I love you in your big jeans, you give me nice dreams; You make me wanna scream, Oooo, oooo, oooo! I like what ya do when you do what ya do You make me wanna shoop."

I didn't know that about Halston & Kevan Hall. I will have to google him & his brother, Vondie. Thanks for the very cool trivia!

@gspinc1 Oh here's some more fun facts. Did you know that Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and in later Years Tommy Hilfiger helped contribute to "Hip Hop" Fashion. Remember how guys would buy extra large Jeans and show off their Underwear. It was considered to be so cool. Also, Kevan Hall who tried to revitalise The House of Halston is the Brother of Vondie Curtis Hall who was one of the Original Actors in Dreamgirls on Broadway.

@laminage You helped spur on my research! Your post about 80's male models brought back memories of GQ and Details magazines from my high school and college years. I recalled 80's male super models but did not know their names. They were so super clean-cut, lanky and not muscle-bound but gorgeously toned much like the portrayals of the male form taken from Greek and Roman classicism. I recall that CK ad; Tom Hitinaus was amazingly hot. Thanks for sharing that bit of fashion history.

@gspinc1 Wow, you really did your research : - D. Oh, you know who I loved in the 1980's. Pole Vaulter Tom Hitinaus who did the First Calvin Klein Male Underwear.  It was so controversial because Men admitted that it turned them on and it made them question their sexuality.

@laminage

I figured out who the male supermodel was of the 80's who was so adorable; his name is Michael Ives. He was amazingly handsome and his face seemed to be everywhere in the 1980s and for some reason I keep remembering as the face for Lacoste.

These were the Male Supermodels of the 1980's: Bruce Hulse, Michael Ives, Jeff Aquilon, Todd Irwin,

Bill Curry, Nick Constantino, Scott Benoit, Tommy Preston, Renauld White.

@laminage Well, thanks for that...Who knew?!...He is certainly an extremely handsome guy. I'll have to google him. I wonder what became of him and the other male model, Jeff Aquillon and by the way, what a great surname, Aquillon. It has a very cool ring to it. I remember another "it" male model of the 80s; he was a blond and appeared in dozens of ads & TV spots. He was the poster boy for Izod-Lacoste. Do you remember him?
