Timothée Chalamet is the most beautiful boy. Seriously, can you imagine having a face like this? How does he even?
He's way too young for me to actually find him sexy, but he's such an aesthetic confection. He makes me wish I was 16 years old again so I could just go all the way and collage pictures of him, with his red lips and perfectly tousled curls, wearing pink, dove grey satin, florals, suits in powder blue china patterns, and self-consciously fashiony streetwear on my bedroom walls and sigh about it. 16-year-old me would so be driving that bandwagon. As things stand, though, he’s 5 years younger than my son, so that would just be weird. Plus, I doubt my husband would be into our new wallpaper.
He also makes me wish that I had been a better emotional mathematician when I was 16, because in retrospect, it’s clear to me now that I have always loved slight, soft boys with delicate features and intense, feminine beauty, and it took WAY TOO LONG to figure out why. When I was 15 or 16, and super into the British make-up boys of the 80's, my mom told me that when I grew up, I'd like "real" men. I felt very ashamed of myself for my preferences, and spent years trying to find big, rough-animal-type dudes attractive, but I've never succeeded in that, and I never will, and I only managed to do that math decades later.
So, long story short, Timothée Chalamet is beautiful. He makes me wish I could go back in time to when I was 16 knowing what I know now, so could enjoy my crushes on pretty boys without shame, and make out with girls.
