Man Candy Day: Ty Baxter, Roger Garth & Jonne Aaron

This week I would like to feature the androgynous man, or that boy who is often described in books as too pretty to be a man (as if pretty and man are two words that can not coexist, mah...). Strangely, all three examples I found are blond and ephebic, perhaps in my imagination the dark handsome man is not adrogynous ;-) and indeed, although very pretty, I think that in any case, if I crossed them on the street, I would not doubt that they are men.

Ty Baxter is a South African folk singer living in London, with a dreamy voice and lickable, mischevious smirk.







































Ty Baxter was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. At an early age his parents divorced, this coupled with the turbulent political realities at the time left him with a strong desire to create something beautiful in a world in which beauty seemed hard to come by. At the age of 10 Ty started his first year at a boarding school. Ty found the place enchanting and mystical but also very lonely. To combat this and his home-sickness he started keeping journals of all his thoughts and ideas, without really knowing it had started songwriting.Ty instantly took command of the audience. He has a tremendous amount of stage presence. The first thing that strikes you is his unmistakable distinctive style (look). His musical style of melodic pop would not be out of place in the charts. From the heart wrenching lullaby “Whispered Words” to “Skin Deep”. Ty has the full package. He has great vocals, melodies & abundance of stage presence.

Go listen his music, it's really awesome: http://www.myspace.com/mrtybaxter

Roger Garth is an Italian top model, dubber, television man, and actor who began his career when he was very young lending his face to a lot of children advertising.









































In television he was in The Mickey Mouse Club, a show that produced artists like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera (in the USA). In the ‘90s his voice is in many American cartoons like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Garth began working in the fashion world, to become in a few years one of the most successful male model for campaigns, calendars and catwalks for important name in the fashion world, Calvin Klein to Dior. In 2007, his face is chosen to launch the new line of Alviero Martini, with bags bearing the image of Garth. For a short time he is on theatre stage playing Dorian Gray. His acting career continued with the movie “Identità Inattese” in 2005. In the spring of 2006 he is the co-host, along with Heather Locklear and Rachel Dratch, of the Saturday Night Live. Its activity as dubber for cartoon continues with the television series created by Seth MacFarlane, American Dad. In September 2006 he joined the cast of Markette, an Italian tv show conducted by Piero Chiambretti on La7, and he has an instant success and he is reconfirmed through 2007 and 2008. In 2007, he is the lead in the movie Flylight (Il Volo Leggero). He had a music program on Italian MTV and a fashion program on Fashion TV. Since 2007 he is columnist and models tutor in the program Modeland on All Music and in the winter of the same year he was chosen by Stacy London for the program Fashionably Late, on American television. Roger had to change the look of the chosen people, all shot in the heart of Manhattan on a wild ride in the shopping world of New York. In 2008 Roger Garth had a love affair with Alessandro Cecchi Paone, an Italian journalist and tv showman, who is quite older than Roger.

Jonne Aaron Liimatainen (born August 30, 1983 in Tampere) is a Finnish singer and frontman of Negative.







































Jonne was born in Tampere, Finland as Jonne Aaron Liimatainen, but as his last name is difficult to pronounce for non-Finnish speakers, he has substituted his middle name for his last. Jonne was brought up in foster care due to alcoholic and abusive parents. His brother Tommi knew that he needed tough love. He skipped school and guitar lessons preferring to hide in his room. He is currently the lead singer and lyricist of the Finnish glam rock band Negative. He has two brothers, Tommi, also his manager, and younger brother, Ville, who is also a musician, he is the lead singer of Flinch. Jonne is known for being very, very shy. He can play guitar and sometimes will play acoustic during concerts. He can also play a little bit of piano, drums, and bass. He plays the harmonica solo in the Negative song Until You're Mine. He has also mentioned in past interviews that Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, Bloodwych, and Guns N' Roses inspired him to begin a musical career. In his teens, Jonne formed Negative with his friend, Jay. Later Antti, Kristian (Sir Christus) and Lauri (Larry Love) joined the band.

I'm trying to go to sleep, but I can't go to sleep while you're posting pretty androgynous boys!

In 2008 Roger Garth had a love affair with Alessandro Cecchi Paone, an Italian journalist and tv showman, who is quite older than Roger.

And then naturally I had to look up pics of this. :) All that takes time. Time when I am not sleeping.

Do this again! *g*

In Italy Alessandro Cecchi Paone is way more famous than Roger, and truth be told, when he was younger, Alessandro was quite handsome. He is very clever, and I found quite interesting this love affair, pity it didn't last. Elisa

I've been a fan of Roger for some time and he was cast as the Rabatian prince Laurent in [livejournal.com profile] freece's epic online m/m fic Captive Prince, before we fangirls moved on to Paul Boche.

Paul Boche. Not bad ;-) I will save him for a future post! Elisa

I like Roger best - he's like a piece of art, crossing the visually gender borders before your very eyes:) Reminds me of an elf.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, he could very likely star in a fairy tale, being both the prince or the princess ;-) Elisa

Have you done Lucas Brossette?

No. Verra nice ;-) Saved for future reference LOL Elisa

I have to admit that pretty guys aren't my cup of tea - but they are very pretty!!
The second guy has a look of River Phoenix about him. Nice :)

ITA! They are way too pretty -- and extremely eye-catching.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually they are neither mine, I prefer the more masculine type, but I can appreciate the beauty. River Phoenix was one of my favorite actors when I was really young, I was shocked by his death. Elisa

Way too pretty? Mmm, probably. I like how Ty, despite being pretty, didn't shave. And the imperfection on Jonne's face make him more interesting. Roger is almost scaring for how pretty he is. Elisa

Fantastic post! I love androgynous men, perhaps because I was an impressionable teenager in the early 70s? My 17 year old daughter doesn't get why I am so crazy about Jimmy Page who she says looks like a girl. Which is what my Dad used to say, too.

There is for sure a charme in these pretty boys. It's like they have double the chance to be, and at the same time neither one, since they are always on the edge. And Jimmy Page in the '70 could have been the dark androgynous man I haven't found today ;-) Elisa

THEY ARE PRETTIER THAN I AM :((

Jonne...ahahh, ahahahahahha. I can't believe that he got in Man Candy-day. My stomach hurts from laughing. This is so weird!



[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, even than me don't worry. Elisa

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You approve or don't approve? ;-) Elisa

[identity profile] yachay.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you know my answer ;)

The no comes mostly because of their music though. Really dislike it, lol.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh well, truth be told I didn't post it for his music (obviously!). If he was also good, it would be too damn an non-justice for the human being ;-) Elisa

Very beautiful pics....very sexy boys:) TY for posting:)

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It was my pleasure ;-) Elisa

Wow--each to their own, but men who look so feminine that it's hard to tell their sex do nothing for me. I fear the modern styles are going to leave me without much to look at....

On the up side, maybe the interest in androgyny will make all forms of sexuality more acceptable. That's be great.

> I fear the modern styles are going to leave me without much to look at...

I think you have not to worry. It's true that androgynous men have their fans, but the old-fashioned manly man is still popular ;-) Elisa

Mrow! Roger's eyes are exquisite! He's too young to entirely float my boat...I'd love to peek into the future and see him at age 40 or so.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
LOL we can set an appointment ;-) Elisa
