When faced with a nightmarish medley of wallpaper and carpet patterns, the only thing to do is don an equally-ghastly pair of briefs and strike a pose. Fortunately for you, I’m not the only guy who appears here in his tighty-not-so-whities. Check out these guys, who like their junk snug and secure.
A cup of tea stands steeping in the sunlight.
My morning ablutions are less about cleansing and more about awareness.
Replenishing fluids that I’ve released in the first piss of the day, the body adjusts itself to the light and the upright. There’s no reason not to be a decent morning person, especially when the sun is streaming in so brilliantly. Such light is poetry, and the dust particles floating in and out of it are punctuation.
Words and letters give order and structure to the day.
The camera can capture things too, later conveying them in another sort of order.
The order of image and chronology.
The cadence of time.
The shifting gaze.
We sip from the lips of cups,
captive liquid held aloft,
and only the sun sees as it happens.
Watched by the light,
we turn the day over again.
This hodgepodge of shirtless (and pants-less) male celebrities is my lazy-ass post for a cold winter’s night in which I’m having trouble drumming up inspiration. These gentlemen have a way of changing all that and turning up the heat in a winter that just drags on and on. There is a light at the end of this tunnel, so let’s shine it on some chests and abs.
First up is the star of the Harry Potter films, and a fine actor who has edged into more adult fare quite successfully. Daniel Radcliffe displays a new kind of hairy here, and it’s all sorts of magical. Wands out.
Spinning round and round in black and white is international superstar DJ (and Taylor Swift‘s main guy) Calvin Harris. Also the body of Armani underwear.
Epic, classic, and cocksure, David Beckham has been a favorite here for years. He’s gotten a bit stagnant with his H&M work (I’m still yawning over that underwear line) but never count him out. Not yet.
The bulge below, belonging to Dan Osborne, broke the bejesus out of the internet a few days ago, so it’s only right to present it here, for posterity. Mr. Osborne quickly cropped it so as not to get spanked by Instagram, but some intrepid follower saved it and so it will live on in glorious, beauteous infamy.
While on the subject of balls, here is tennis phenom Novak Djokovic. He seems to favor black briefs. Just saying. And showing.
Not to be outdone, Simon Dunn squeezed his own balls into some tiny briefs and showed it all off, not unlike his first appearance here.
Last but not least is diver Chris Mears, who looks just as good naked as he does upside down.
Whenever Cristiano Ronaldo slips into his underwear, it’s worth a bonus post. Especially when those underwear are as tiny as this. In this particular installment, Mr. Ronaldo is once again stripping down to his skivvies for a Men’s Health cover shoot, and what could be better on a dreary Saturday in January?
While not solely devoted to David Beckham’s backside, this post does have several fine examples of said bottom. I’m not going to waste your time, and mine, by espousing rhapsodically on Mr. Beckham’s remarkable assets – too many words have been spent drooling over his attributes, and I’m growing tired of all these mixed metaphors. On with the David Beckham ass show for a Friday.
Ever since the #CockInASock craze and ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, I’ve been on the lookout for the next fun-yet-ridiculous-in-the-name-of-a-good-cause event. It seems that may be on hand with #ShowUsYourTackle, as put on by one of my favorite clothing shops, Jack Wills, in support of the brainstrust – a brain tumor charity. Most of the guys who have been doing this are doing so with their shirts off, as exhibited by the photos here of the Flair Bears.
You can enter the contest too (even if you probably can’t use the big £5000 bar tab) but you’ll need a pair of Jack Wills pants (and you can’t borrow mine). I may show you my tackle, but not unless this sinus issue clears up, and soon. I don’t pose when I’m this sick – it’s just a thing.
Here are the official rules:
To be entered into the competition, it’s pretty simple. Get your Jack Wills pants out (take this as you may: on your head; over your jeans; or strip down…), take a picture, and upload to Instagram, making sure to hashtag #showusyourtackle and tag @JackWills.
For each picture posted Jack Wills will donate £1 to Brainstrust, so you can be doing something amazing for charity, AND entering the competition…ALL whilst getting your kit off.
“The world of the grotesque is the darkness within us. Well before Freud and Jung shined a light on the workings of the subconscious, this correlation between darkness and our subconscious, these two forms of darkness, was obvious to people. It wasn’t a metaphor, even. If you trace it back further, it wasn’t even a correlation. Until Edison invented the electric light, most of the world was totally covered in darkness. The physical darkness outside and the inner darkness of the soul were mixed together, with no boundary separating the two. They were directly linked.” – Haruki Murakami, ‘Kafka On The Shore’
“But today things are different. The darkness in the outside world has vanished, but the darkness in our hearts remains, virtually unchanged. Just like an iceberg, what we label the ego or consciousness is, for the most part, sunk in darkness. And that estrangement sometimes creates a deep contradiction or confusion within us.” ~ Haruki Murakami, ‘Kafka On The Shore’
“Artists are those who can evade the verbose.” ~ Haruki Murakami, ‘Kafka On The Shore’
“Freedom and the emancipation of the ego were synonymous. And art, music in particular, was at the forefront of all this… Eccentricity was seen as almost the ideal lifestyle. The age of Romanticism, they called it. Though I’m sure living like that was pretty hard on them at times.” ~ Haruki Murakami, ‘Kafka On The Shore’
When someone as physically fine as Pietro Boselli poses for an Attitude cover story, it deserves a post of its own. Mr. Boselli is the math teacher who took the gay internet by storm with his banging body and dreamy good looks, and he’s going even further in this photo shoot for the popular British rag. Of course he’s already been named a Hunk of the Day, but he’s likely due for a second run any day now. Enough of my yammering, you just want to see the goods.
Tomorrow is the epic ‘Super Jocks in Super Jocks’ show in Chicago, IL, so if you’re in the vicinity give it a look-see. I wish I’d had the foresight to plan a trip there, but hopefully this will be an annual event so I can make a proper pilgrimage next year. As previously reported here, this is a benefit for TPAN and Chicago House. Hosted by Bianca Del Rio, it features the stunning hand-crocheted jock-straps of The Crochet Empire, as helmed by Andy Boyer. Works of art in their own right, you should see them when they’re filled out by the collection of hunky studs who will be parading down the runway. The Art of the Jockstrap indeed.
Here are a few promo photos provided by The Crochet Empire for this red-hot event. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1387444
Even if you know it’s fake, it’s still pretty hot. Here is that Chris Hemsworth bulge that everyone is talking about from the new ‘Vacation’ reboot (I didn’t see the original, so I won’t be seeing this one, even if Mr. Hemsworth‘s impressively enormous dick is dangling on display.) I do prefer this look to his longer-haired Thor shirtlessness, so at least he’s headed in the right direction. Just watch where he points that big long thing – and check it out in full motion thanks to carey579.
A lot of people coming to this site enjoy a jockstrap. If you add a few hot male models to that minimal clothing piece, and a worthy cause on top of that, you have the makings of a grand event. In this instance it’s a jockstrap fashion show hosted by none other than Bianca Del Rio and benefiting TPAN and Chicago House. Give me a guy in a jockstrap and I’ll totally get behind that.
Aside from the great cause, this looks to be a stellar show featuring the artistic works of jockstrap art by The Crochet Empire, previously chronicled here. These designs are bound to look incredible in person, and with the entertaining hostessing hijinks of Ms. Del Rio, it looks to be an amazing evening. Those in the Chicago area should check it out on May 10 (I’ll be plotting next year’s visit accordingly).
As for the fashion to be displayed, you can get your very own custom jockstrap from The Crochet Empire here. Painstakingly hand-crafted and designed to your specifications, each is a unique work of art, functional yet fashionable (for those who dare to bare). Where art and fashion meet is where inspiration and excitement intersect – and when it’s between the legs of a hot guy, so much the better.
Pietro Boselli has already been named a Hunk of the Day, but these new photos merit a separate post entirely. I like the glasses and the apple motif, as if we needed reminding of his profession. I also like the white briefs. What’s simple is true. An apple a day…
A man needs to know his best assets, and here’s a man who clearly does. Zac Efron has been naked here before, so while it shouldn’t be a big deal, these photos, from a movie in which he’s supposed to be naked, by rights should not be anything special. Yet somehow they are, so feast your eyes one more time upon the almost-naked form of Mr. Efron. No stranger to nudity, and certainly not to shirtlessness, Efron gives a bit of both, in nude-hued briefs and a strategically-placed stuffed animal. He’s still hiding the good bits, but I can respect that. A girl has to leave something to the imagination.
Having been scarred for most of my life by an early lap-dance on a frightening Easter Bunny, I decided to turn this holiday around a couple of years ago with this unplanned encounter with my nemesis. While that went a long way toward repairing my warped view of the seasonal celebrant, it didn’t complete exorcize the demon from my nightmares. That would take another twist, and this year I think I’ve finally worked through that Easter bunny madness in my own underwear-clad manner. A string of pearls aided in the transformation, and ~ VOILA! ~ a new meaning for our risen Lord was born this way.
Sometimes the only way to confront a childhood trauma is to face it head (and underwear) on.
Burberry briefs and bunny ears may not be your idea of conquering fear, but in my case they worked wonders.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Easter without posting the original Scary Easter Bunny shot that led to a lifetime of haunted nights. So many people have told me that this is their favorite photo of me, which basically means I need a new group of friends. The sheer terror on this little boy’s face says more than any ensuing therapy confession ever could.
Here are a few old-school Channing Tatum shots from his early days as a male model (and stripper if we are to believe the loosely-autobiographical ‘Magic Mike‘ movie.) Mr. Tatum has surfaced here a number of times (particularly his back end) and as the world gears up to seeing more stripping scenes in ‘Magic Mike XXL’ I offer these photos to whet your appetite.
