Kirk bod appreciation #6: The Curves. The Front. The…chest. AND THE AMAZING GREEN WRAP
Bread and Circuses. This…vision appears. The hips, again. You know that thing where you see a really nice curve on something, and it’s just…pleasing? It’s just…nice. There’s harmony in the world and it’s calming and right. It could be the s-curve of a car, or a meandering river viewed from 30,000 feet, or the simple arc of a leaf. Or Captain Kirk’s hourglass. Look at his lines. We celebrate this on the feminine form a lot, but masculine curves? This is where Kirk is wonderful. There’s this whole dance of masculine-feminine and what is masculine or feminine anyway? Who gets to define that? And look at the…chest. Look at those shadows from a distance. Aren’t they just. I mean seriously. And the pinnacle. The Tum™. The tum is very important, and important that we stand up to the people who put him down for The Thicc, and say back the heck up here. Back right up. How DARE you. Let’s just all take a moment to love this bod, and love anyone who has this kind of bod, you are lovely and perfect.
Let’s talk about this wrap now. This wrap is brilliant. The wrap is one of the greatest items of clothing from the 20th/23rd century. Look at how this is the absolute perfect thing to dress this man in. Look how flattering it is, how it shows off all his beautiful things. Thank you, William Ware Theiss, for this legacy. The wonderful gay costume designer for Star Trek. Thank you, wherever your energy now resides in the universe. And screw you, world, for making it impossible to find clothes like this irl. Interestingly, wrap tops can be found but tend to be exclusively in the femme section of clothes stores. Now there’s another fun gender thing, which adds to the theory of Kirk being expressively non-binary.
Extra: lol at McCoy for looking just like Mr Bean in these hilariously unfortunate screencaps. He’s beautiful too, of course, but in a different way. I’ll leave the Bones-love to someone else…
