Marlon Brando warf sich 1953 in eine schwarzlederne Perfecto-Biker-Jacke, hautenge Jeans und Chopper-Stiefel, setzte sich eine Fliegermütze auf und spielte in Der Wilde Johnny, den höhnischen Anführer des Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Im Jahr darauf verzichtete Tom of Finland in seinen Kunstwerken auf braunes Leder und schuf sich seine eigenen Wilden: muskulöse, hypermaskuline Rebellen , nun in schwarzes Leder gepresst und natürlich mit ordentlich PS zwischen den Beinen. Diesen Look übernahm noch im gleichen Jahr der Satyrs Motorcycle Club, der erste Club schwuler Biker - und ließ auf diese Weise Toms Fantasiewelt Wirklichkeit werden. Tom wäre natürlich nicht Tom gewesen, hätte er seinen neuen Schwulen-Ikonen keine eigene Note verliehen, indem er ihnen lederne Reithosen, kniehohe Stiefel und dazu Ledermützen verpasste und jedem Motorrad den Markennamen "Tom" auf den Tank schrieb. Toms Biker erschienen im Winter 1968 erstmals als zwei "Motorradburschen" in Physique Pictorial . Ein weiterer schaffte es auf die Titelseite der April-Ausgabe von 1960. Von da an beherrschten Biker den Inhalt von PP , sowohl in Würdigung seiner amerikanischen Leserschaft als auch infolge seiner eigenen wachsenden Besessenheit. Als er nach einer durchgängigen Figur suchte, seinem persönlichen Alter ego, erfand er 1968 Kake, den Inbegriff des Bikers in Lederkluft , und erzählte dessen wilde Geschichten in jeweils 26 Einzelbildern. Tom kleidete sich schließlich selbst wie Kake und trat bis zu seinem Lebensende in schwarzer Lederjacke, weißem T-Shirt, Jeans und hohen Stiefeln auf. The Little Book of Tom: Bikers enthält Toms früheste Werke für Physique Pictorial , Kake im Biker-Outfit und knisternd heiße Bikerbilder auf kompakten 192 Seiten - voll von harten Kerlen , die sich mit anderen harten Typen in schwarzem Leder verlustieren. Und zwar, ja, auf Motorrädern.

In the late fifteenth century, the earth stood motionless at the center of a small, ordered cosmos. Around us, it was believed, the moon, the sun, and the planets revolved in crystalline spheres, their orbits perfect, eternally unchanging circles. Just over a century later, the sun was now the center of creation; the earth just another planet hurtling through empty, near-infinite space. This is the story of an astonishing change, a transformation in human thought, about both the universe and our place within it, told through the words of the astronomers and mathematicians at its heart.

Its skincare and makeup products—creams packaged to look like milkshakes or pandas, and snail mucus face masks, to name a few—work together to fascinate us, champion consumerism, and invite us to indulge. In the four years Elise spent in Seoul as NPR’s bureau chief, the global K-beauty industry quadrupled. Today it's worth $10 billion and is only getting bigger as it rides the Hallyu wave around the globe. And fun as self-care consumerism may be, Elise turns her veteran eye to the darker questions lurking beneath the surface of this story. When technology makes it easy to quantify and optimize ourselves—from banishing blemishes, to whittling our waistlines, even to shaving down our jaws—where do we draw the line? What are the dangers for a society where a flawless face and body are promoted and possible? What are the real financial, physical, and emotional costs of beauty work in a culture that valorizes endless self-improvement and codes it as empowerment?   With rich historical context and deep reporting, including hours of interviews with South Korean women, this is a complex, provocative look at the ways hustle culture has reached into the sinews of our bodies. It raises complicated questions about gender disparity, consumerism, the beauty imperative of an appearance obsessed society, and the undeniable political, economic, and social capital of good looks worldwide. And it points the way toward an alternative vision, one that's more affirming and inclusive than a beauty culture led by industry.
