Shipping Guy Love

Last year on American Idol, I was a HUGE Blake Lewis fan. I searched the net for anything Blake related. Which is admittely immature and ridiculous and rather crazy.

Well I discovered a little subculture in my search for all things Blake. There's an internet subculture primarily composed of straight women who like to pair up male celebrities in sexually charged romantic pairings. These fans, called "shippers" write porn, fiction and poetry. In addition, they like to phony up pictures to make it look like the men were caught cuddling or kissing or they like to make youtubes with footage capturing a look, a glance, a moment of body contact. I find it fascinating that there are women out there who would get off on things like that.

Of course my favorite shipping is Cake, the pairing of Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson. Not only did they look great together, but it was obvious to all they were quite besotted with each other, even though I doubt anything happened between them, but their mutual affection was so obvious for one another.

Here's another interesting pairing--The Killers' Brandon Flowers and Dave Kuenig. Their shippers like to call their little on stage interactions "boy love". Enjoy the video:
