    Ah, yes. Living Right Glenn. Now those arms are just nicely muscled.

    I always found those people a little scary. I just wanted to lose my post-baby fat. I just tried to stay the heck out of there way! They were serious!
    So Molly - if those women had said "Here, hold my purse." - I take it that you would've complied????

    As for me, you will not be surprised that I like all of the Glenns. Say what you will about me - but, at least, I'm consistent!

    I am not entirely sure that those are in fact his arms. There is a difference between that shot and the Livin' Right picture sleeve where his arms look more natural.
    Wouldn't that be false advertising and therefore illegal?

    I don't know either way. Don't you think the arms look a bit too bulked up, and haven't these places been guilty of using composite photos before, legal or not?

    For what it's worth this is a paraphrase of what he said to Nicky Horn in 1992 about how getting fit made him a better singer:

    'As a singer one has to be athletic. You have to stay in tune, control your breathing, have enough wind, have enough air so you can sing a lick at the end of a phrase..... I'm a lot less timid about stepping up to the microphone and biting off a chunk of song'. And long may he continue to do so.

    I am looking at this again and I now tend to think that of course the muscles are bulging somewhat, because he's lifting a weight!

    I just can't imagine a company would structure an entire ad campaign using a prominent celebrity in a before/after situation, and make it completely fraudulent. It would be too risky besides unethical.

    I am looking at this again, too, just to check. Yes, I think those muscles are bulging as a result of lifting a weight. Excuse me while I just check again.

    I agree - they are probably his arms. Not that I would put it past a company to do something unethical, but if they wanted to do a fitness campaign, why would they pick someone unfit when there would probably be lots of other celebrities out there that they could have chosen?

    Plus - that would be somewhat hypocritical on Glenn's part too. I just don't see him as the type of guy that would go along with scamming the public. I doubt if he needed the money that bad!

    I agree. It doesn't make any sense to pay a celebrity tons of money to do your ads when you're not even going to use their body!

    when you're not even going to use their body!
    Well, I certainly........nah, too easy!


    -------------

    Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
    Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
    I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
    In a world full of pushin' and shove.
