Manpaper - The Closer

I've always believed in finishing strong. .


Johnny Depp

(from imdb.com)

Date of Birth	9 June 1963 , Owensboro, Kentucky, USA
Birth Name	John Christopher Depp II
Nicknames	Mr. Stench Colonel
Height	5' 10" (1.78 m)

Born John Christopher Depp in Owensboro, Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, Johnny Depp was raised in Florida. He dropped out of school at age 15 in the hopes of becoming a rock musician. He fronted a series of garage bands including The Kids, which once opened for Iggy Pop. Depp got into acting after a visit to Los Angeles, California, with his former wife, Lori Anne Allison (Lori A. Depp), who introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage. He made his film debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). In 1987 he shot to stardom when he replaced Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular TV series 21 Jump Street (1987).

Johnny's family has lived in Kentucky for many generations, and many of his antecedents have lived in the United States, in general, since the 1600s. His ancestry includes English, as well as Irish, Scots-Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French, Dutch, Belgian (Flemish), and German. Also, in 2013, researchers for Ancestry.com established that Johnny has remote African ancestry; they traced his lineage back to Elizabeth Key, a biracial woman, born c. 1630, who was the first woman of African ancestry to successfully sue to emancipate herself from slavery in the North American colonies (she emancipated her son, as well). Johnny has frequently stated that he believes that he has Cherokee, or other recent Native American, ancestry, although this ancestry has never been verified by genealogists. Asked the origin of his last name by James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio, Depp stated, perhaps jokingly, that his name means "idiot" in German.

Manpaper The Origin - New Cuts

With every creation comes a great story.  Or so I'm here to convince you.

See yourself or me, a close relative, a friend in Texas years ago.  Its not all bad I promise. You're working in the warehouse district of Carrollton making real estate magazines in low cubicles with inefficient computers that crash every time you attempt to open PhotoShop and Illustrator at the same time.  You scan so many pictures in a day you literally have a station that just batch edits them for printing.  Now you're good with pictures.  You have to be.  Real estate agents are cheap and hardly ever get professional photographers to shoot their properties.  On top of that they like to have customizable pages that you have to design with their images superimposed on such festive backdrops as zebra print. Oh yes in full color.  

Its a glamorous lifestyle. The people need perks.  Its understandable. However you are in a male heavy workplace (sorry for this imagination segment you're a girl, try to enjoy it!). It would stand to reason that the only form of expression left to you in a sterile workplace is the very wallpaper you stare at for more then 10 hours a day due to months of mandatory over time.  So when male coworkers turn to Sports Illustrated cover models as desktop eye candy to make a better day you don't so much take offense as you decide to challenge the idea that women can't do the same.

You make a grand show of searching intently for the hottest men of the time carefully choosing one as equally naked as the girls you've seen on male desktops. You notice that one of your closest and coolest friends is torn as she participates in this attempted emancipation.  She has selected a male. She has pulled up several photos for the express purpose of lusting after during work time only to discover try as she might, it is impossible to pick just one. The light bulb is so bright it shadows the room.  You look at her with the gleam of insanity that inspires creation in your eyes and exclaim for all the world to hear.

You don't have to choose!

Thus my creation, manpapers. 

Manpapers are created through an intensive photo screening process. Only the choicest pics are selected to then be doctored and compiled in a single landscape of that male's greatest hits. I have determined that this, my greatest achievement should live again in this age for many, many hotties have graced our interwebs unmolested or objectified.

I shall give you these creations because they do not belong to me. . .they have always belonged to the people!

I open with an introduction video and the delicious Takeshi Kaneshiro:
