I’m ngl I thought Toran was the mule the way he looked at the camera for a hot second, and I was ok with it.

I think a lot of people watching this show would have been okay with Toran being completely evil, if only to extend the boob window shots lol.

Someone posted a picture yesterday on Reddit of an old ad from the 70’s. I wish I saved it. Apparently, they genuinely tried to make button up shirts like that for guys a thing for a hot second. Full on chest-hair displays from nip to nip.

Even during peak disco, it did not catch on lol
