‘Scuse me a sec, dahlings. I know we just leapt into a New Year, but did time somehow go backwards and nobody bothered to tell me? I sure as hell hope so, because that is the only way I could explain away the dastardly beach duds Neil Patrick Harris and his boy lovah, David Burtka, are sporting. Gah!
Seriously, I haven’t seen nonsense like this since the Crockett and Tubbs era. I really can’t stop staring. It’s like when you see a big zit on someone’s face and you know you shouldn’t stare, and it’s pretty much making you physically ill to stare, but you continue to do it anyway. Yeah, this is like that.
And I thought gay guys knew better. Sigh.


















you said it. this is pretty bad. i can’t tell who’s more heinous!!
Really, abba! They are both putrid. I think my vote goes to Doogie, though. Those shorts bring back waaaay too many unpleasant flashbacks and the stupid hockey shirt is so not appropriate for beachwear – at least pick a warm-weather sport, you Dupa.
As ridiculous as David looks, at least he’s got a cohesive “theme” going on – even if that theme is “Bad Tourist Chic”.
Boy, (or should I say Girly?) News to me that this was ever a trendy fad.
You also caught my attention with this picture, his boy lovah–where have I seen him before? I’m drawing a blank?
They are the most romantic couple ever!
Neil Patrick Harris is hot!
David who-da-hell-cares aint!
I wanna do it with Neil!
If they really are headed to the beach, who the hell cares? Get the shirts off and lets see some skin!
who cares? just because they are hollywood types and gay doesn’t mean they have to conform to stereotypes. In fact, I applaud them for not giving a shit about what people like you think.
They’re both hot, regardless.
does it really matter how NPH dresses or if hes gay? every parent tells there kids that they have to be theirselves,and NPH is a really sweet guy so who really cares!! i love neil
even these patterns can’t make them unattractive!

OMG. Neil Patrick Harris is way too hot. Beautiful. I will carry his child if he wants me to. NICE!
Who cares what are they wearing? I think they’re the most cute couple ever and they would be cute even if they were naked!
its lovely that they’re not concerned about pleasing people like you and fitting into a ridiculous hollywood mold. would you really be putting a whole lot of thought into what you chucked on when popping down to the beach. they seem really cute. god…i cant believe how many people still buy into stereotypes about gay men and fashion. pathetic.
I think they’d blend in pretty well at the beach (I live in LA), which is probably what they’re trying to do. Wear anything too flashy and people will be overwhelmed by the hotness and realize who they are… which might result in a little more attention than they intended.
haha whatever neil patrick harris is hot as hell
lol barney stinson would be most displeased.
I can’t believe you people.
Have you nothing better to do than critizise people who, IN THEIR VERY OWN RIGHT, wears the clothes they want to.
I bet all of you critics look like that on at least one day of the week.
Give them some space – those picture shouldn’t even have been taken.
And for the gay comments, I shure hope you people are just writing these things to please you friends or worse – your church, and not actually mean them.
First of all, they are both absolutely fabulous and they are fabulous no matter what they wear… I mean imagine Neil wearing a airforce uniform… I’m getting off-topic.
Second, who says celebrities can’t go to the beach like regular people and wear casual stuff? I mean sure, it’s not exactly a la mode, but who cares? They probably didn’t want to be noticed and have a nice time at the beach…
Finally, I find your abominable comments about them being gay hurtful and offensive. Society’s never gonna make any progress until we all learn (to pretend) to respect each other! If you have a problem with other people’s sexuality, you’re probably just hiding the fact that you’re not really satisfied with your own… So get your head out of your ass, man… The world ain’t black and white anymore, you can stick those stereotypes and prejudices up your falopian tubes!
I think they look fine. They’re just going to the beach. Its not like they’re going to be on the red carpet or something. So because their celebrities they can’t be casual and comfortable??? They’re a cute couple and the seem really happy together. I wish them all the best!
Not just “fine”, but FINE !! Two handsome young men, enjoying life, dressed in neat and clean clothes. I want to be either or both of them. sigh.
