True. But to me he has always looked like a very handsome young man. Not a boy. He's a 22 year old man so why make him look like a kid playing dress up? Tho, he did look really good in the green shirt. Oh well. Maybe the pictures are just for fun and not for a career launch. But he and Adam do make a handsome couple and glad they are happy and having fun. All male models these days look like clowns, at least in the instas Adam likes and that are brought over here....they pretty much all look ridiculous, IMO. They're either dressed in women's clothes, or have weird makeup and/or weird accessories. Not sure what the trend is called, but I'll be happy when it's gone. Javi, in contrast, at least looked like Javi, if not a bit embellished. I prefer pictures like this.

Question: Why do Javi’s Instagram posts never show up on this site, when I link to them? Posts by everyone else do.

I stopped looking at Adam's likes a long time ago as I could never get the appeal. And I was always happy that he did not present himself that way even if he liked the looks on others, lol.

Question: Why do Javi’s Instagram posts never show up on this site, when I link to them? Posts by everyone else do. I don't know why your posting Javi's IGs won't embed. I tried as well.....and Mine won't embed either off of the link you posted above......strange! But then I went back and got the shorter/ direct link and it worked. Guess you just need to make sure you're posting directly from his page and not thru an add'l link. His caption is so sweet...Fans have been asking to post a smiling pic. javicostapolo I know it took awhile but here it is, grateful for all of you http://instagr.am/p/BwfWWt2BwFV www.instagram.com/javicostapolo/p/BwfWWt2BwFV/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=2y3idyuxjg4i

I'm getting dizzy imagining how this new full-circle permutation would be charted. Adam auditions for Idol and sings Queen, Adam joins Queen and performs with the real deal, Adam returns to Idol to mentor others singing Queen. Best leave it to the experts. Kryptoman - are you there? I have been scratching my head for two days now The options are Idol 8 BoRhap Audition to Idol Mentoring, or Idol 8 finale (first live performance with Queen) to Idol Mentoring. I gravitate towards the former. Opinions are welcome!

Javi, in contrast, at least looked like Javi, if not a bit embellished. I get where you are coming from but I look at the fashion statements from a slightly different perspective. I enjoy perusing the big city fashion shows (when I have the time) and I understand that they are concept pieces not intended for wear. Often future fashion trends show up as scaled back versions of these shows. With that in mind, I am around a number of non-binary folks and there has been a promising shift (at least for the present) to include these persons in the fashion catalog. Think how difficult it must be if you are non-binary to wake-up and even get dressed in the morning in a way that feels authentic if you are only presented with cis-gendered clothing. Girls must wear this and boys must wear that! Adam seems to be following a number of artists and designers who are exploring this difficult paradigm and presenting various solutions. I certainly don't like all of them, some I feel are even a little exploitative, but they are at least thinking outside the box, pushing boundaries, and presenting possibilities to people who don't conform to binary norms. Just like the Paris runway, most are avant-garde concept pieces not meant to be mainstream, but I hope that a scaled back version of some will eventually show up in stores. Even in the last couple of years there are a lot more online stores that offer non-gendered clothing and ideas for everyday dressing. My most fervent hope (having nothing to do with you guys here) is that the general public will have its collective mind expanded and allow non-gendered presentation without pushback and fear. There is a long long way to go.

This photo makes Javi look as if he had no arms.
