Ever wonder what the scribes behind the articles you read in the papers every day look like... with their shirts off?
Well, one Daily News reporter (Rich Shapiro—pictured!) was spotted in Union Square last year and promptly whisked away to Paris, where he stripped down, lathered up, and posed for a new ad campaign for Dove for Men. Today he recounts his story, just as the product line launches. He begins the tale, saying: "There I was, standing half-naked in a French chateau with a makeup artist applying lotion to my nipples. For a moment, I savored the absurdity of the scene: a Parisian makeup artist tending to my nipples." Read on. Somewhere, Justin Rocket Silverman is burning with envy.
Anyway, what do you think the policy is about taking a paid gig posing for a product line then writing about it around product launch time for a major New York City newspaper? And is this the first time we've ever seen a reporter's nipples?!
