Oh Canada, oh Canada, the land of gay opportunity, almost

Canada’s first and only out gay man to be elected as head of a political party, André Boisclair, has stepped down. He had a relatively short run of only 2 years at the helm of the Parti Quebecois. He is a social democrat and sovereigntist who had vowed to hold a referendum within 2 years to address the issue of Quebec’s independence from Canada.

Why did we put this story in I guess you are wondering? Well for no real reason other than he was an out gay man elected to leadership (something I informed Wayne about for the first time this morning). This makes us feel lucky and proud that we live in a country that is ready to (at least on some level) take such a step. We stress that it is only on some level, as there was speculation this morning on a CTV discussion panel that perhaps the “gay thing” might still have been a hindrance as many of the older school voters may not have been able to fully accept it. Ahh that “old chestnut” chimes in a gain – that awful “gay thing”. Goodness knows how anyone could be an effective anything, let alone a leader with that hanging over their heads (not to be sarcastic or anything). I guess this shows that even in Canada, a country often viewed as a gay haven due to its equal rights laws for homosexuals has a long way to go in changing the minds of its people. And finally, on a liter note, lets face it he would have been a pretty cute leader. As far as world leaders and politicians go he was a hottie and believe us they are few and far between. Read more!

Hate Crime – Movie Review

I watched “Hate Crime” the other night, a movie I had taped off Canada’s Out TV. Trey and Robbie are a young gay couple living out their dream in the peace and tranquility of suburbia until their new neighbor, the son of a preacher ominously reminiscent of Fred Phelps, moves in. A few weeks before their much planned commitment ceremony Trey is the victim of a vicious beating and ends up in hospital fighting for his life. Naturally the pastor’s son is initially the prime suspect, but eventually attention turns to Robbie himself as he battles the prejudices against him even from the case’s very own investigating officers. It is at this point that Robbie decides to take matters into his own hands with some devastating consequences.

This movie was by no means a cinematic masterpiece but it was incredibly thought provoking. It makes the viewer realize how dangerous such extreme hatred and intolerance can be. What is even more disturbing is when bigotry is not on such an obvious level and gay people run into barriers from years of ingrained prejudice that people are not even aware of in many instances. I can’t help but wonder whether the obvious similarities between the pastor, his son and their congregation with the Phelps family and the infamous Westborough Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas, was intentional. In fact this fictional church in the movie, even runs a web site named “God Hates Homos”. One could argue that Phelps and his cronies are practicing their right to freedom of speech but I say a line has to be drawn somewhere. There are still so many double standards in this world, for instance, why was Anne Coulter allowed to called John Edwards a “fag” whereas Don Imas was fired following a media frenzy of outrage for saying “nappy headed ho”? We say axe em both as the “F” word and “N” word used in such derogatory manners are synonymous with each other.

Ok so now that’s enough of the ranting for one day – I just had a lot to get off my mind today. Wayne is usually so patient when he listens to my in depth analysis of each news story. Part of the reason he is so wonderful. Read more!

Christiano Ronaldo is still our number one man!

The 22-year-old has a lot going on – but we have always said so. What more could he ask for? His team, Manchester United, has just won their record 9th English Premiership title on Sunday May 5th. Of course our boy scored the winning goal! He was named England’s Footballer of the year last Friday, making him the first man United player to win since 2001 and the first Portuguese player to win the award ever. To add to that Ronaldo was also voted Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers' Association last month. The boy has boots of gold and abs of steel…. Oh and thighs that ripple with muscles only a star soccer player could have … and he appears to be quite well blessed below the belt (as I am sure the world has seen from his tight red speedo shots), and, and, and … we could go on and on.

So what’s next you must be wondering? Well he has turned his love for shopping and impeccable sense of style to the fashion and opened his own Boutique in his hometown of Funchal on the island of Madeira. He has been really involved in selecting his trendy offerings from men’ shirts and jeans to handbags and jewelry and while he is earning his whopping 100 000 pounds a week in the UK his sisters will run the store. The name of the store? CR7 (his initials and number)

Nigel Barker for reFresh Magazine

This month Rex Kelly meets fashion photographer America's Next Top Model panel judge, Nigel Barker.

He is no stranger to the mag and has done many a sexy shoot for them over the years. Wayne hates it when I put America’s Next Top Model on (which isn’t often I promise) but I like to make the excuse that its sexy Nigel and that divine accent … yummy. Looks like he can officially be classified as a D.I.L.F - in the words of a gay Stiffler. (btw. the pic to the left is not from reFresh - we just thought it was cool!)

Take a look at some of his past shoots for reFresh – so HOT!!

I especillially like the first pick where the guys is crouching down ... sexy! (click to enlarge and enjoy :) ..lol)

18,000 Naked and most of them young Mexican men!

Wow! Now that sounds like somewhere we would have liked to have been. This past Sunday saw American photographer, Spencer Tunick’s, biggest shoot yet, where 18,000 bared it all for his camera in Mexico City’s main square (the Zocalo plaza)

"I think all eyes are looking south from the United Sates to Mexico City to see how a country can be free and treat the naked body as art. Not as pornography or as a crime, but with happiness and caring.'' Said Tunick of his early morning shoot.

Brooklyn born Tunick is famous for photographing thousands of naked people around the globe with his previous record being 7,000 in the Barcelona in 2003.

I recently watched a documentary, Positively Naked, about his shoot for POZ Magazine’s 10th anniversary in 2004 where he photographed 85 people who were either HIV positive of had full blown AIDS in Manhattan’s meat packing district. If you haven’t seen it yet you should try and watch it when it is next on – it is a moving portrayal of strength, solidarity, healing and ultimately the breaking down of barriers and judgements.

Joe Oppedisano - Some gritty, erotic photography for the weekend

We are sure most of you have all heard of Joe Oppedisano, and if you haven’t we have no doubt you have at least seen some of his work having photographed for many of the big gay magazine names from Out to Genre. In 2006 he released Testosterone which was loaded with sweat, muscle, leather, dirt, grease and grime. All the ingredients for a dark and savagely sensual book that is all man and then some.

He now has his 16 month 2008 Calendar out, Rebel, which is as sexy as all of his other works - Dark, masculine, gritty and a little dirty.

He really captures the essence of what a man is.

Keep Reading for some more of the calendar pictures we know you will love them and also take a look at some more pictures from Testosterone …

Our favorites and not so favorites from this week!

Some pretty cool stuff we came across this week. We got to see the toned, sexy Jeremy Piven emerge form a steamy shower in nothing but a white towel on Entourage. Now if only the R rated version could have been seen when the towel slipped. Keep reading at the end of this post for Mr. piven in his towel!

We heard the Ricky Martin showed almost everything but his bits in a very revealing video clip at a concert on his "Black and White" tour. Can’t wait till that footage hits the net! Hopefully someone had their handy cam handy :) ...Trust me we have been searching – if anyone finds it please share (pretty please)

We made a new blogging mate in Spain, at Gay Te Mo'o, who has an awesome collection of hotties to satisfy most fetishes from military, to firemen and tattoos. We really liked the pics. and found alot to appreciate!

Check it out!

Oh and every gay man’s dream – The fountain of youth in a tube as been discovered. Ok so maybe we exaggerate, but apparently Boots has the answer in the Boots No. 7 " " which has been flying off the shelves in massive shopper stampedes. Apparently this wonder cream has been scientifcally proven to reduce signs of aging and brighten the skin tone withing 4 weeks! Yup, just 4 weeks. The cost? Just 17 pounds (although on Ebay the price is up to 74 pounds, regardless of the one per customer rule from Boots). But who knew it was so cheap to stay young!! I am skeptical but to be honest (and Wayne cannot understand why) the first to hop on the bandwagon when it comes to anit-aging.

Aussiebum has some massively sexy swimwear out, that make you look, well…. Massive! We like the ads… a lot!! Keep reading at the end of the post for some more shots...

And now for some ranting and raving because I can ...

Yesterday I was reading about the US House of Representative’s vote to add violent attacks against gays and people targeted because of gender to the categories of federal hate crimes. Great news and in my opinion a far too long time coming. Even after the tragic murder of Mathew Shepherd in Laramie it has taken this long to get this amendment approved. What is even more shocking is that there is such immense outcry against this decision. The White House is threatening to use its power of veto (again!) and the infamous "friend of the gays" group, "Focus on the Family", have naturally taken a position of disgust, per usual. They claim that the bill's true intent is "to muzzle people of faith who dare to express their moral and biblical concerns about homosexuality." Yes Mr Dobson it is a massive conspiracy against you and your cronies – Not! The most shocking thing to me though was on the USA Today site. Some kind individuals have taken the time to express their hatred too, with irrational arguments against the bill such as [edited] "the gays have enough protection already", "what makes the gays so special" and "we wouldn’t want them beaten up but must they flaunt their sexual immorality in front my kids?". Are they for real? Why should hate crime laws protect almost ever group and minority but exclude gay people? The answer seems logical to me, but then again who I am but a mere gay man?

Triathlon season has arrived in Canada - time to break the ice!

The weekend is here and so is our first triathlon for this summer season. It’s only an icebreaker and pretty laid back but we have been training pretty hard for it. I have had small bout of shin splints and Wayne managed to catch himself a stomach bug this week so it hasn’t been a good week of training and final prep. Hopefully that won’t make much of a difference. We were at an oritentaion and course walk through on Thursday evening and it looks as if it is going to be a breeze. It also looks like there are going to some really hot guys in the race – in tight speedos and sexy tri-gear. So I guess it is going to be a quiet weekend for us – no alcohol or partying, but tons of carbs ..finally we have an excuse.

Summer Mornings

I have been pretty busy today and was feeling rather uninspired as far as posting goes. I am not sure where I even came accross this picture (it was a while ago) but I really love it and had been saving it for a day when I didn't have much to say.
I love the contemplative pose - makes me think of an early summer morning, when I wake and feel all relaxed and woozy as I warm and bask in the sun. Read more!

We do like a man who knows what to do with his tool! Canadian Model Moment – Andrew Stetson

There is almost nothing sexier than a man who can work with his hands and Canadian male super model come carpenter, Andrew Stetson, is no exception. This sexy model is a carpenter at heart and is looking to return to the trade full time. Modelling is a sideline gig that he happens to be extremely good at.

When I first met Wayne I didn’t even know what an allen wrench was and fixing the chain and taking the front tire off my mountain bike was a rather scary prospect. Wayne was the polar opposite and could wield a hammer like no body’s business. I remember an msn chat we had at the beginning of our relationship where he was all greased up (yup, sounds kinky I know), fixing the snow blower. Since we have moved in together Wayne has taken on the challenge of teaching me a thing or two about working with my hands and we have tackled quite a few exciting projects together, including landscaping both our front and back yards. To be honest I quite enjoy working with my hands (and playing with tools… heehee) and even know how to take my bike apart and put it back together again thanks to Wayneo. So this summer we have decided we are going to try and build our own sun deck in stead of having one installed. Should be a fun project to do together but still don’t ask me what and allen wrench is.

I guess it’s often tough for gay men to escape the stereotype of being completely inept when it comes to handy work. It wasn’t too long ago that we helped a friend move into his new home where we met a guy who not only was able to fix everything in sight but was also the biggest queen of the lot of us there. He was about as fabulously queenie as they come and a fantastically entertaining guy, but when it came to drilling holes and installing shower racks he was the man! So there you have it - you can't judge a book by its cover!

May Day!

The 1st of May is here! In Finland May Day or “Vappu” is one of the largest celebrations of the year. I know I mentioned that I was originally from South Africa, but I am also half Finn. Today reminds me of all the parties and copious amounts of alcohol consumed during my student days living in the Southwest University town of Turku in Finland. They were good times and drunken times, especially Vappu, which symbolized the end of another dark and long winter. Even in the South the winter days were short with only a few hours of sunlight. We went to class in the dark and came home in the dark. Quite difficult for a beach bum South African whose idea of cold was a chilly +20 degrees!

May Day is a time to picnic, drink, be merry, drink some more and sweat it up in the favorite Finn past time, the sauna. Speaking of the sauna’ in Finland this is a way of life and in a country of only 5 million, more than 1.5 million households have a sauna. Now if that isn’t love then I don’t know what is. For a newcomer it was quite a culture shock when I was invited to my first student Sauna party. There I was, a coy South African at a party that seemingly had no boundaries – everyone was sweaty, tipsy and naked, together, males and females alike!! Needless to say I was a bit too shy to get stuck in, but come the end of the first semester I was a new man. The thing with Finns is that the sauna isn’t anything sexual, but for the rest of us “internationals” it wasn’t half bad seeing that cute guy you saw in the hall a day earlier completely in the buff. Ahh the memories.

Anyway I thought I would wish everyone a happy Vappu and I hope that everyone above the equator is enjoying the spring, and for those down South … hmmf … life’s a beach, aint it? I am a bit jealous!

Now what would a post be without a few gratuitous sexy shots of good old-fashioned guy-candy? So here are my favorite 2 Finnish men… I wonder what they are doing on Vappu

First up is the first Finn to ever reach an international championship event final in the 100mtre sprint, Markus Poyhonen. He is super sexy and oh so Finnish, amazingly handsome, blond hair, blue eyes, smooth and well as you can see from the pictures he is quite an athlete.

The second, Kimi Raikkonen – the sexiest formula one driver we can think of. Very cute!

Now we wouldn’t mind hopping in the sauna anytime with these two (Not what you are thinking, just to enjoy the warmth)

And, if after all this you have developed a taste for all things Scandinavian, then you must check out Beauty and the Bum for some great stuff on the “Scandinavian Hunks”

Read on for more pictures of Marku and Kimi … and enjoy the spring!!!

Drawn together

Does anyone remember the cartoon spoof on MTV’s “The Real World”, “Drawn Together”? Created by Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein, this Comedy Central show first aired in October 2004. It is about 8 cartoon characters that agree to live in a house together in a similar set up to “The Real World” and “The Surreal Life”. The slogan: "Find out what happens when cartoon characters stop being polite- and start making out in hot tubs".

It is good fun and definitely for adults, with a gay character, lesbian kisses and tons of cartoon dirtiness. I guess I almost feel like a bit of a nerd blogging about this LOL. The show is currently on hold, mid-third season as Comedy central execs deem it to be “way too dirty, and way too expensive” The second half of the third season should air in October 2007 but there has been no word about whether a fourth season will be made. We hope it isn’t the end.

Check out this collection of best Xandir moments. He is the gay character… it starts off a bit slow but gets pretty hillarious...

Wayne is a Ginch Gonch boy

Wayne has always been a bit of an exhibitionist at heart but never really been crazy enough to go just go for it and gear down for some sexy pictures. Ok, maybe he has geared down once or twice on the odd nudist beach or gay snorkeling cruise in Key West, but never for a worldwide audience. What better way for us to get a bit silly and satisfy Wayne’s burning desire to strip down to his skivies than Ginch Gonch’s second annual "Battle of the Briefs". We love Ginch Gonch for so many reasons – They are always funky and fun, and of course we have to support our local Canadian boys.

Friday was a lovely day so we decided to take a drive out into the countryside and see if we could get creative and have some fun with our Ginch Gonch’s. So we set out in search of a location, with cowboy hat, work boots and undies in tow to test our very amateur photography skills. We found a deserted and dilapidated farmhouse and decided this would be perfect for some sexy, rugged and masculine shots. Anyway, we figured our blog would be a perfect place to show some of the pictures and maybe even get a little help in deciding which one we should enter in the contest. So please check em out and let us know which ones you like best, we really would love some comments to help us decide :)

“OMG, when I die I wanna be cremated and sprinkled all over his body” - Light-hearted gay-friendly shows we need more of

Just one of the firecracker lines from Ugly Betty last night! Loaded with some real hotties! It seems to get better and gayer by the week. We absolutely love it and it has definitely slipped into a comfortable first position on our weekly TV favs list. One of the things that makes this show great, is that each new episode is so packed with exciting twists and turns that every week feels like it was the most important episode of the week. Love that!

Back to the hotties though, because after all that’s reason we blog, well, most of the time anyway …

Amanda’s flirtation with a sexy up and coming designer, played by the deliciously hunky Mykel Shannon Jenkins, is pretty amusing and rather confusing. Is he gay? Is he straight. With such impeccable dress sense and that tell-tale wiggle in his tuch he surely must be bating for team pink? Mmmm .. we will leave it there in case you have not seen the episode yet!

He does have an ass to die for though - As he struts his stuff down the hallway of Mode Amanda sighs to herself “Oh, If I were a gay guy, I would so tap that” – We hear you sister, highly tapable, highly tapable!!!

There was even a surprise flirtation between the Brazillian Mode’s creative director, played by Cristian de la Fuente, and the sexy Alexis Meade (Robecca Rominj). We wondering when she was going to get here groove on.

It sure was about time for a gay TV program that appealed to a wider international audience in fun and playful way. No more tortured characters driven deeper into the closet by their shame and plunged into worlds of depression, drugs and prostitution. No more adult ratings (although, we must admit we sure would like to see another “Queer as Folk” on the program lineup, with all its drama, sexy boys and well, nookie. Sorta like another “L Word” for gay men. Now that would be fun). Our point though, is that its great to see out and proud, “we are here and we are queer, so deal with it” type characters that are well adjusted (well for the crazy world of fashion anyway) and fun to watch. This is a start for what gay people need, lovable, likable characters that are enjoyed by all. Since Will and Grace left the air this gap has been left wide open.

Ugly betty's Eric Mabius

This sexy hunk who plays Daniel Meade in Ugly Betty, is no stranger to getting naked or even playing gay! (Not that he plays gay in Ugly Betty). Remember Cruel Intentions? He played the closeted football stud that hooked up with "Dawson’s Creek" star Josh Jackson, according to the movie, he "sucked like a hoover" ..LOL. As far as getting naked, we found some pretty cool pictures of the man enjoying a day out at the beach in the buff when he was a bit younger. Who knew he was a nudist at heart?

So keep reading for the very sexy pictures of Eric in various stages of undress, we are positive you will enjoy it!…………

Why Manscape? - To shave or not to shave?

I am usually pretty well manscaped in all the necessary areas. I like to keep things short, neat and trim. Besides it makes the bits and pieces look more impressive when I strut my stuff at the gym. Sometimes it feels like a whole lot of effort for the hair only to grow back in full force a few days later and besides there is something so sexy about a man in his natural state. That is why today I have decided to dedicate my post to beautiful, hairy men. The only problem is that I now feel a little "unkept" if I don't keep up with all the grooming. Maybe it is time for o-natural again... Isn't that coming back anyway? So now the big question - to shave or not to shave? - Personally I like all men - smooth or hairy, an equal opportunity gay if you will :)
I was browsing through a few magazines today, just catching up on some spring style tips and I kept stumbling upon gorgeous models with hairy chests, legs and stairways to heaven. It was quite refreshing to see and got me thinking that I may just skip my regular chest shave this month (not that I have much of a hairy chest to speak of). Wayne on the other hand is a die-hard manscaper, but if I had such a perfect, lean body I think I would be maximizing my ability to show off my muscles too. I would take him either way though – hair or no hair. I hope you guys all enjoy the rest of my posts below and let us know what you think about manscaping. Read more!

A day at the movies, sexy cartoon boys and a few “political-ish-type” issues….

Last night Wayne and I went to watch "Blades of Glory". We both really enjoy Will Farrell movies and thought that this would be a light hearted end to a long day. We had been early that morning for a 8km jog around the lake and then after a full day of shopping (something I do best) we finished off with a 2.5km swim. So a relaxing movie was the way to go.
It had been mentioned that this film was homophobic … I guess you can see where they were heading with this – 2 men, partners, on the ice, lifting, squeezing – you know, picture it. There is a wealth of crude homo-charged jokes bursting at the seams to get out. I can see where they were heading with this when they criticized it for being homophobic. At one stage a hotdog vendor even held a bun out with two wieners and asked angrily "I mean, does this look right to you" and at another an angry man on the streets shouts "figure skating is already gay enough". To be honest this was almost the most of such comments and for the large part the humor was in good fun. A few ball squeezes here and butt slaps there – pretty innocuous and at the end of the day, hilariously funny stuff. Should you go watch this? For sure, it was a riot and all the characters we extremely funny.

It does beg the questions though, was that one "innocent" wiener joke too much and how far is too far? Perhaps the new Adam Sandler movie, I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry", costarring Kevin James has crossed the line? Two firefighters, Chuck and Larry, decide to pose as a married gay couple to receive domestic partner benefits and of course the homophobic madness ensues. We have not seen this one and most likely won’t go to the cinema to watch it.
We have to ask ourselves – Is it so funny that these two men are so incredibly repulsed about being a gay couple that there is enough material for an entire movie about their embarrassment, shame and awkwardness? Furthermore, in a day and age where gay couples are struggling for legitimacy in the eyes of the law and legal partnerships are anything but common, should we be joking about it? There once was a South Park episode that posed the question "How many years do you have to wait after and issue’s first announcement before you can make jokes about it?" They say 25 years.


We think that the gay community has a sense of humor. We often fall out of our seats laughing at the sometimes over the top gay characters seen in Hollywood productions, but when the total premise behind a film’s success rests in the hands of the "grossness of being gay", we are not so sure a boundary hasn’t been crossed. What do you guys think?

On a lighter note –Shrek The Third, with the voice of the tasty Justin Timberlake as Artie is a movie we sure aren’t going to miss!

We couldn't resist another excuse to post a gratuitous shirtless hot of Justin - all glistening and sexy and stuff. Hot! Read more!

All things Latin

Ricky martin is heading up to Canada on April 30th to Toronto as part of the North American leg of his Black and White tour. He has been riding the wave of success of his latest album, "Ricky Martin: MTV Unplugged". He has been selling out seats across Latin American and it looks like its going to continue as he moves up north.

He kicked off his North American tour with an amazing performance on the Ellen Degeneres show. Check out the clip if you didn’t catch it live – he sure is one sexy man! It must be that totally masculine Latin flava – he oozes sex appeal and man can he thrust those hips. Enough to give any hot blooded gay man an idea or two!



Enrique Iglesias is making at come back. I am so glad about that. Wayne agrees with me that he is cute, but I have always had that little extra crush on Enrique. When I was younger I used to think that he simply was the sexiest man alive. He used give me little butterflies in my tum tum every time he was on TV – mmm maybe that was too much information. Anyway I am much older and wiser now and no longer succumbto teenage crushes quite like that one.

Anyway, back to business. He is appearing on the sitcom, "Two and Half Men", has an album, "Insomniac" being released on June 12th and he will be playing his part for the planet by performing in the "Live Earth" concert. We are just glad he is back!

And finally we decided to throw in a super sexy Brazilian male model – Bruno Santos

He is a Latin American and International modeling sensation and, well, kind of a record breaker in his own right, being the only male model who was selected to carry out two campaigns simultaneously for two competing fashion houses, Versace and Georgio Armani.

Has anyone seen what campaigns he is doing now? We sure would like to see some more recent stuff of him.

Keep reading to see much more - More Bruno Santos and more shots of Ricky Martin live in concert on the Black and White tour as well as some sexy photo shoot shots and his exy speedo body.....

Sexiest actor – Patrick Dempsey from Grey’s Anatomy (we are can think of a few actors who would beat Mr. Dempsey to the podium for this one)

TV Personality – Jay Leno (are they kidding????? – I mean we love the guy, he is funny and we watch almost every night – but come on, personality does go a long way … but this far???) We were thinking more along the lines of …

Earth Day - April 22nd

So today is earth day! Going green can be sexy and save you money… Sex and money ..Now that should sell everyone on the idea.. Shouldn’t it?

With all the hype about global warming, we were pretty interested in seeing how we could make a small difference. We actually had a small debate the other day about whether or not a one man can make a difference – our conclusion … for sure! If everyone adopted the attitude of "what will my part do anyway" we wouldn’t get anywhere.

Look sexy by going green …
Avoid fast foods… so that you can maximize that sexy body you have been working on. By avoiding fast food, which is often over packaged you can help educe the mountains of fast-food waist piles. Imagine having gorgeous abs like a Fred Goudon model

Bike instead of driving … Need we say more than … bubble butt, sexy legs, tight cycling pants and oh yeah and help reduce the pollution… bubble that butt out on your bike just like a French rugby player’s butt..

I love this shot and the guys butt especially .. :) ... Wayne may disagree considering he likes his men mansacped :)

Save money ...
By changing your regular light bulbs you will reduce your energy use and your annual electricity bill
Keep that refrigerator closed ... you will expend way less energy and, well, you may not be tempted to take as much out!
Turn off the lights and watch your energy bill fall!
Go "Euro" with your car … get yourself a zippy little sexy number and cut your gas bill and reduce your emissions …

Check out the rest of the things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint … HERE and HERE
And if this was all to serious of post for Sunday ..keep reading for a few sexy men … heehee …just some gratuitous butt shots from the good old French ruby team calendars over the years and some more of Fred Goudon’s butt shots … yum, yum ...

Rugby boys.......

Sexy surfers!

All this talk about sharks, the sea and with summer rapidly approaching I sometimes get a bit home sick. One of the things I miss most about South Africa is the beach. Having grown up in South Africa’s playground and surf city, Durban, I was practically always at the beach.

What is even sexier is the early morning surfers, long borders, body borders and surf svaers changing out of their wet boardies, speedos and wetsuits in the parking lots after their morning surfs. Sexy tanned bodies, muscular bums and sometimes even a lucky glimpse at the money shot!

Oh and what would a post about surfing be without the amazingly hot king of surf, Kelly Slater. Looks to us like he might also be the king of the sheets the way he is packing …

Check out some more fun and sexy surfer pictures here………

South Africa, Canadian Residence and a little about us ..

I guess we haven’t gone into too much detail about ourselves on here – I am originally from South Africa and Wayne is Canadian. Although I grew up in South Africa I am also of Finnish decent and after leaving my home town in 2002 for London, UK I eventually ended up in Finland studying towards my Business Degree. After a few years of back and forth between Finland during the study semesters and London in the summers for work, I eventually made my way across the Atlantic to Canada. This is where Wayne and I met. I was on student exchange to Canada and well it was kind of like a fairytale – we dated, fell in love and now a few years down the line we are still together and awaiting my permanent residence. I know it all sounds corny but it really was just like that .. in fact we were both completely closeted and I was even trying to play it straight while trying to date girls. There is nothing like meeting the right person for all your fears of being yourslef to melt away. We still have some pretty important people to tell but for the large part we are living our lives more freely than ever before. It's great! It has been a long wait for my residence but the time is rapidly approaching. Even though we know there probably won’t be any major hiccups we still get a little nervous from time to time with the "what-ifs?" So wish us luck .. mmm ok noe some pics ...I hope my tonails look clean below :)

Check out some more of the beautiful pictures I took when I was last home in South Africa....

Individuals make the difference

The movie SharkWater we blogged about yesterday, really got me thinking. The founder of Green Peace said a few words that really stuck in my mind. Change happens because of individuals who stand up and say that it needs to happen and fight for it not from governments, lawmakers and politicians. When money, power, industry and diplomacy are all-important the issues become secondary. I am originally from South Africa and grew up in the time of Apartheid and this regime would never have fallen had it not been for tireless crusaders like Nelson Mandela. Slavery would not have fallen in the US without Martin Luther King and worldwide bans on whaling would not have come about without organizations such as Green Peace. Until individuals stand up and say "no more" things won’t change. A defining point in the international gay rights movement and birth of the gay pride parade happened when the New York gay community stood together and said those very words "no more" in June of 1969 in the Stonewall Rebellion. I guess the movie gave me a greater appreciation for those that stand up for the ‘little guy". I mean after all Wayne and I would not be here together in Canada had someone not fought for the right for us to be legally together.

Larry Birkhead's gay lover?

Not another twist in the Anna-Nicole saga – We are not sure about anyone else but we are getting a tad tired of the almost weekly twists to the Anna-Nicole story. Apparently Larry Birkhead has been sneaking himself some mano-el-mano action on the sidelines. Who better to break the news than the "National Enquirer"? Apparently 38 year old model, Kerrick Ross, revealed all the juicy details about their 2month sex-fueld, torrid love affair. Sounds all so steamy but also smells a little fishy! Thank goodness the National Enquirer and Kerrick took it upon themselves to tell the world the truth.


Guess we will have to wait and see whether Larry has been pulling a Ted Haggard or whether Kerrick is an attention seeking Mr Zsa Zsa Gabor - somehow its seems more like Kerrick is making a dash for the cash and a shot at D-list fame. Lets hope poor Danny Lynn comes out tops after all this. Read more!

Sharkwater

We decided to go and watch Sharkwater last night. Wayne has been talking about this movie for months and finally its out in Canada. Written, filmed and directed by nature activist, filmmaker and biologist Rob Stewart, this winner of 10 international film awards is a must see. It was so much more than we expected and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were anticipating a "discovery channel-like" film loaded with stunning under ocean cinematography (which you get for sure) about one of the planet’s most feared and mysterious creatures, instead our eyes were opened to the beauty and wonder of these animals and the dangers that they face from man.

The viewer’s preconceived notions of sharks being ferocious man-eaters is gradually broken down as you begin to realize that the ocean’s oldest and greatest predator is no longer the hunter but the hunted. Stewart’s passion for sharks takes him and his film crew to some of the world’ most densely shark populated waters. Eventually he teams up with extreme activist group, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, to embark on a harrowing adventure to expose and combat the unregulated slaughter of sharks for their fins in Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. His mission is dangerous and a little crazy. If you thought free diving with sharks and gently caressing these powerful animals like cats on the ocean floor was crazy wait till you see the lengths he and the Sea Shepherds go to for their cause.

This film will move and shock you as you learn about and watch the brutal and senseless butchering of sharks - 90% of the earth’s population have already been destroyed by man. Definitely watch this film it is as much visually stunning documentary as it is a first of its kind voice crying for help for the sharks of our world. It’s awesome. Oh and to be honest Rob Stewart is hot. He even suits up in a tiny blue speedo from some gratuitous eye candy. He has a great bod and is really cute!

Porn Model Moment - Lukas Ridgestone

This week’s porn model and actor is Bratislava born Lukas Ridgestone. He is another Bel Ami boy that fired up the screen and pages of Freshmen magazine until 2005. He has since retired from being in front of the camera and moved to a behind the scenes role also at Bel Ami where he trains up and coming porn actors in the art on screen Funky Monkey. He is almost exclusively a “top” but has been know to switch here and there. Sure is a pity he isn’t acting anymore.

He always looks so sexy in his trademark “Lukas” pose with his arms above his head and his seductive gaze. Mmmm seems like he even makes armpits super sexy! We like his piercing blue eyes, muscular body and well his … 8” you know …

Carry on reading to get a peak at all of his goods..

Model Moment - Ambrose Olsen for A/X

I was reading through some blogs and surfing the net this evening after swimming training feeling pretty uninspired about what to blog about. I was thinking that I may just be lazy today and skip but then I stumbled upon the gorgeous Ambrose Olsen on both Made in Brazil’s and Towerload’s sneak peaks of the upcoming Armani Exchange campaign and needless to say my .. uh-um inspiration? …was aroused (insert red-faced embarrassed smiley here)

Men's swimwear - Spring/Summer 2007 - A reminder from last year' catwalks

As usual we are always on the lookout for hot new swimwear and underwear. So we decided to take a look back ..way back to last year … to see what the swimwear trends for the spring summer season of 2007 are… We kid of got lost in the moment and carried away … and it was a ton of fun looking at all the models … So here is what we dragged up from a full review of the spring summer 07 collections that debuted on the runways last year .. enjoy !!

Click the pics to see the larger images of the hot hot models ...oh and the swimwear!

There was some really sexy fun stuff and some ultra edgy stuff too …
Our personal favorites were from Alessandro Dell'Acqua, especially the tiger print swim brief .. Grrrrr

Dolce and Gabbana had some sexy stuff too.. par for the course when it comes to D&G …

Givenchy had a more elegant approach to swimwear and Dsquared2 were funky, playful and colorful as usual .. Check out our previous posting on the rest of the Dsquared swimwear .. also one of our all time favs…

John Galliano had a rocker-edgy almost animalistic approach to swimwear ..

And Kris Van Assche was simple and to the point (would look sexy wet;))

Mochino’s boys were colorful and sexy, while we could only find Paul Smith and Versace board shorts on the runways ..at least the guys were sexy …

Valentino had some hot models and great suites too

So that’s it … a swimwear reminder of the trends straight from the catwalks .. Read more!

Another lazy weekend

Seems like we never have much time to sit at the computer and blog come the weekends – So here is what we did .. (not us … but we figured the sexy models and pics would make it all seem irresistibly interesting) … So here goes…

We spent quality time with the dogs ...

We caught a movie .. Bruce Willis and Halle Berry’s flick , "perfect Stranger" … so not worth blogging about. An implausible plot that drags on and on with a ludicrous ending … and no eye candy …at all.

We drank lots of wine and cooked together… and even though the picture isn’t us ..we did it naked … (that’s the fun part ;) )

Of course we also kept active …We went for a long 2 hour mountain bike ride …. We made love, and … well ..had some raunchy fun too … teehee

Wayne even woke me up at 7:30 on Sunday morning for a 3.5km swim…

and then he dragged me off to gym … at least we got to use the sauna to really relax afterwards

and I got to see Wayneo’s bum in the locker room …

As for the usual eye candy ... there wasn't much of that ..it was at the crack of dawn Sunday after all .. we were the only crazy ones out then :)

So now its Sunday eve and I am sipping red wine while Wayne cooks ..

and then it’s long bubble bath time and T.V.

Thanks for checking in and we will see you tomorrow with some that's more exciting .. at least we hope you enjoyed the guys !!

The art of male form - Tom Bianchi – A pioneer in gay photography

Tom Bianchi hails from Oak Park, Illinois and originally graduated form Northwestern University as a lawyer. He decided to take a chance and break away from law and representation of clients such as IBM and Sak’s Fith Avenue and follow is lifelong passion and dream of photography. We are sure glad he did – If you haven’t heard of him, and we are guessing most gay men have, he is the pioneer of photography books that explore the nude male form from a gay perspective. "Out of the Studio", published in 1990, was the first book in this genre. He has published 8 more since.

Metallic Body Painting – The not so naughty way to scope out naked guys

Some of the sexiest body painting we have ever seen.

We found this artist’s site while surfing the net yesterday and were astounded at how amazingly beautiful and perfect the nude male body can look covered in metallic paint. We had no idea there was such a paint.

It really is stunning. “It is the most revealing of the paintings that I do. With the silver paint, I find that the model finally sees his or her body for the first time although it is completely covered." Says artist Dwayne Flowers.

Check out some more beautiful painted bodies by reading more …. Although Dwayne focuses primarily on females we were able to find all of the naked men for our readers ….

Mika

Mika released his debut album, "Life in cartoon motion", in February this year. It’s a great first release. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, now living in London, UK, this trained Russian opera professional has dabbled in everything since studying at the Royal College of Music, from opera performances at the Royal Opera House to writing British Airways in-flight music and Orbit Chewing Gum jingles. His single "Grace Kelly" topped UK charts in January of this year.

Mika is already being billed as one of the newest gay pop stars to hit the scene because of his "camp" performances and music, but he has stated that he will not talk about his sexuality, especially this early in his career. He has even been accused of steering clear of revealing his sexuality in order to strike it big in the US – an accusation he strongly denies. He even cleverly directs his personal web site and his MySpace to that of "Billy Brown" – He created this Billy Brown page based upon a British song about a man who has a homosexual affair. We like this guy’s sense of humor and his music is fun and upbeat with some interesting sounds - He knows how to hit the high notes. And of course we think he is cute!

Check out his very cool site to hear samples from his album.

Naked sports - Arguably the best iCandy

Well I can honestly say that Wayne has hit the nail on the head – Sport sure is sexier when played naked… muscled, sweaty bodies getting down and dirty… Ok, ok, I know it sounds more like sex than sport, but lets be honest at time its nearly impossible to watch sport without thinking about sex...

…Check out Wayne’s tasty set of naked sportsmen and the rest of his delicious postings on iCandy .. It’s a good time! Read more!

Scissor Sisters and Jake Shears

Seems as if the Scissor Sisters are feuding with Mika ..Mika branded the group's music "mediocre" - but the Scissor Sister's bassist BabyDaddy admits he can't understand the star's remarks, as the two make comparable tunes. (Both have been compared extensively in the media). Scissor Sisters go on to claim they do not listen to Mika’s music, as he is too similar to them. We say … get over it guys ..we all like you both!

Frontman, Jake Shears can be seen in the latest Vman Magazine in an interview discussing a typical day in his life. It seems like he still leads a very down to earth lifestyle living in his same old apartment with his boyfriend he had before he became famous. We think he should at least get himself a dishwasher! He talks about how he loves New York as he can still walk the streets there without anyone knowing his name and that success in the UK and outside of North America is all that he needs.
