Naturally, after reading the brief history of the word “Heavage” on Schott’s Vocab, I was obligated to blog it. Man cleavage is apparently in right now. Here, we see Alexander Skarsgard rocking some on True Blood, and here, we see him doing so in real life.
He’s not the only believer in popping a few buttons. Who does heavage best, currently and all-time? I’m gonna go with Skarsgard and Michael Bolton, respectively. As I told the latter in 2005, rewatching his old music videos I came to appreciate the way he always knew exactly how many buttons to undo for “maximum hotness.” I tried to get the equation and failed. Any ideas?

I totally agree with you. Alex is hot!!!
Ed Westwick. Hands down. He loves showing off his chesticle area!
Blegh. He is revolting. Also, I’m really sick of warping words to make them man-centric: “bromance,” “manorexic,” et al… it’s very silly.
One more pun-ish portmanteau to throw on the pile, how cute. “Look, I took this one word, and this other one, and now I have this super-great new word that is sooo funny!”
Also, I thought this was called Chesticles.
ICK! His hairy chest and weirdly shaped body give me nightmares.
Spike (James Marsters) frequently showed very, very nice heavage, oh yes!
I don’t know who does it best, but I know who does it worst: Simon Cowell.
When he pulls out his dress shirt (that he only buttons around his navel) for the “Idol” finale, I always throw up in my mouth a little bit. (Ok, you got me…I throw up in my mouth a LOT.)
OMG, that is so true! When I first thought about men who should not go for it at all, is Simon. It’s really disturbing seeing him like that.
One more way for men to emasculate themselves. Just super.
I couldn’t care less what this post is about. I’m just happy to see the hotness that is ASkars!!
I seem to remember some heavy heavage on Robert Pattinson from time to time. Also, pretty much any latin-lover type actor.
Who cares about anyone else? ASkars is perfection.
Yay! I’ve missed your Alex/Eric posts, so it was great seeing this today.
Yes to Spike. And I’m also throwing in Taylor Kitsch as Tim Riggins on every episode of “Friday Night Lights”.
ASkars has got some sexy heavage going on…but hands down gold medal goes to Dominic Purcell..the man is allergic to buttoning up his shirt, and that’s fine with me…
I’ve always considered those lines on a man’s hips the male equivalent of clevage. And I refuse to use the word “heavage” to describe anything.
Nope, the term heavage just isn’t working for me. Sounds like a bad case of the flu, i.e. I’ve been up all night standing over the toilet with some heavy heavage.
Tom Selleck as Magnum P.I. had some pretty spectacular heavage.
I’m with you. He was the first person to pop into my head. Hawaiian shirt + hairy chest = awesome!
I’m going to have to throw in Craig Horner – AKA Richard Rahl from Legend of the Seeker. He is ALWAYS rockin’ the best heavage.
