MARCH 17, 1969 – FEBRUARY 11, 2010

UPDATE: British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead after taking his own life. The 40-year-old committed suicide just days after the death of his mother, Joyce, last week. [Source]

Fashion designer Alexander McQueen has died, his publicist says. His office confirmed to the BBC that Mr McQueen, 40, was discovered at his London home this morning.

Paramedics called to the Mayfair property pronounced him dead at the scene. Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious.

A statement said his family were “devastated” at the “tragic news”, and added that they shared “a sense of shock and grief”.

A former British Designer of the Year winner, London-born Mr McQueen started his career as an apprentice in Savile Row, where he learned how to make jackets at Gieves and Hawkes.

[More from BBC]

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Born in the East End of London, the son of a taxi driver, McQueen started making dresses for his three sisters at a young age and announced his intention of becoming a fashion designer. He said that one of his earliest memories was from around the age of 3 when he drew a picture of a dress on a piece of bare wall which had been exposed by peeling wallpaper in the council house where his family lived. McQueen jokingly called it his first design sketch.

Career

McQueen left Rokeby School at 16, landing himself an apprenticeship with Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard, then working for Gieves & Hawkes and the famous theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans. Whilst on Savile Row, McQueen’s clients included Mikhail Gorbachev and Charles, Prince of Wales. At the age of 20, he spent a period of time working for Koji Tatsuno before travelling to Milan, Italy and working for Romeo Gigli.

McQueen returned to London in 1994 and applied to London’s most prestigious fashion school, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design to work as a pattern cutter tutor. Due to the strength of his portfolio he was persuaded by the Head of the Masters course to enrol on the course as a student. He received his Masters degree in Fashion design and famously, his graduation collection was bought in its entirety by influential fashion stylist Isabella Blow, who was said to have persuaded McQueen to change his name from Lee to Alexander (his middle name) when he subsequently launched his fashion career.

Design history

Alexander McQueen’s early runway collections developed his reputation for controversy and shock tactics (earning the title “l’enfant terrible” and “the hooligan of English fashion”), with trousers aptly named “bumsters”, and a collection entitled “Highland Rape”. McQueen was known for his lavish, unconventional runway shows, such as a recreation of a shipwreck for his spring 2003 collection, spring 2005’s human chess game and his fall 2006 show, Widows of Culloden, which featured a life-sized hologram of supermodel Kate Moss, dressed in yards of rippling fabric.

Givenchy appointment

The president of LVMH, Bernard Arnault caused a stir when he instated McQueen as head designer at Givenchy in 1996, succeeding John Galliano. Upon arrival at Givenchy, McQueen insulted the founder by calling him ‘irrelevant’. Thus, his first couture collection with Givenchy was unsuccessful, with even McQueen telling Vogue in October 1997 that the collection was “crap”. McQueen toned down his act at Givenchy, but continued to indulge his rebellious streak, causing controversy in Autumn 1998 with a show which included car-robots spraying paint over white cotton dresses, and double amputee model Aimee Mullins striding down the catwalk on intricately carved wooden legs. McQueen stayed with Givenchy until March 2001, when the contract he said was “constraining his creativity” was ended.

Accomplishments

Some of Alexander McQueen’s accomplishments included being one of the youngest designers to achieve the title “British Designer of the Year”, which he won four times between 1996 and 2003. He was also awarded the CBE, as well as being named International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards. December 2000 saw a new partnership for McQueen with Gucci Group acquiring 51% of the company, and McQueen serving as Creative Director. Plans for expansion included the opening of stores in London, Milan, and New York, and the launch of his perfumes Kingdom, and more recently My Queen. In 2005, McQueen collaborated with Puma to create a special line of trainers for the shoe brand.

McQueen became the first designer to participate in MAC’s newest promotion: cosmetic releases created by fashion designers. The collection, McQueen, was released on 11 October 2007 and reflects the looks used on the Autumn/Winter McQueen catwalk. The inspiration for the collection was the Elizabeth Taylor movie Cleopatra, and thus the models sported intense blue, green, and teal eyes with strong black liner extended Egyptian-style. McQueen handpicked the makeup.

Company

By the end of 2007, Alexander McQueen had boutiques in New York, London, Los Angeles, Milan, and Las Vegas. Grammy winning trend setter Rihanna is one of the many famous celebrities that frequently wears Alexander McQueen, often seen wearing the pieces of clothing to events. Another is Lady GaGa, whose unique style often incorporates Alexander McQueen pieces in her music videos. As of 14 July 2008, the Alexander McQueen internet store has launched on the company website, allowing shoppers to purchase ready-to-wear and accessories online.

The sexy Tyler Lough and his naked body — minus the man parts — was part of a new video campaign for women’s fashion house XOXO.

The video features Lough, another dude, and two other women being classy, and then breaks into random scene showing Lough in random stages of undress.

Pictures and a video link showing Tyler Lough in all his glory is right after the jump!

Just in time for Valentines Day, Armani Exchange is helping lead the way in 2010’s LGBT movement with the release of their latest all-inclusive “Share the Love” campaign which launched on their website and at malls across the country.

The ad features a heterosexual couple and two homosexual couples, embracing their partner in a pictorial collage.

Oh my, two gay couples embracing and it’s appearing at malls?!? Yep, all the rednecks will get a kick out of this, hence all the controversy. Check out the video of protesters after the jump and of course the ad campaign in its full scale.

Oh, and like all great advertising, for people to accept you, you must be bulimic to look as good as the guys above. ;)

It was muscle galore Thursday, Nov 19, when studs took over the runway in the annual fashion show for Beinestar.

Eduardo Lucero and Argelia Atilano hosted the fashion show. Andrew Christian and Merlin Castell from BRAVO’s “The Fashion Show” were also in attendance.

“The show was a great success and we helped to raise money for Beinestar to continue to help people living with HIV/AIDS here in southern California,” Timoteo spokesman Mike Viera said.

Photographer Donnie Madden captured some of the fun and madness that took place back stage with the Timoteo boys. Photos after the jump!

Models pictured after the jump includes Ben Godfre, Adam Phebus, Nelson Grande, and Jacob Ibarra.

The fashion show took place at the Mayan Theater, 1038 Hill Steet in Los Angeles, Calif.

Australia men’s designer underwear and swimwear label Ristefsky Macheda today announced Jonathan Waud, finalist of Make Me a Super model reality TV show as the new face of RM. The announcement made via the labels blog coincided with the launch of a new website and campaign featuring the LA based model.

“We’re very excited to have Jonathan as the new face of RM. His image reflects everything that our brand represents. He is masculine, athletic and has great sex appeal. We’re very pleased with the new campaign,” says designer and co-founder Stephen Ristefsky.

Waud, awarded the viewer’s choice in popular reality TV show was cast by the Australia label to launch the new collection men’s underwear and swimwear.

“When we saw Jonathan we thought he was a perfect choice for the new collection. Jonathan has a great look and is a perfect fit for the RM image,” Ristefsky said.

The campaigns shot by renown Los Angeles photography duo ALEK and STEPH featuring Jonathan are amazing and we’re excited to have them all on board.

RM is available online at www.ristefskymacheda.com and through selected stores in Australia, US and Europe.

The pastor always preach for you to keep Jesus in your heart and always have him close to your head.

Well, the designers at PISS & VINEGAR took it quite literally and created the JESUS underwear! Now you can wear religion however you see fit and be the talk of the church. You also get bragging rights about how you and JESUS rise up together every morning too.

Piss & Vinegar aims to become the newest leader in the world’s underwear market. Born out of a vision to re-energize an underwear market that has become overcrowded with clones of Sutherland’s past brands, Piss & Vinegar designs are outrageously fun, sexual, but most important in today’s turbulent times: conscientious and thought provoking.

So, what do male fashion designers do when they aren’t working? Dumb question! They do what every gay-loving man on this earth would do… rent a gay party boat and frolic joyously together in the water.

Fashion designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce relaxes on their boat in Portofino, Italy. Along for the ride were their two dogs who seem to enjoy playing in the water.

Our friends over at International Jock flew some British stud over, snapped some pics of him in his undies — wet — for their future promos and also sent ‘em to us so that all you guys can go gaga over it. Photographer and International Jock co-founder, John Sievers, also conducted an interview with the 20-year-old model which you can check out after the jump.

What do you think: stud or stud?

John Sievers had this to say about working with Harry:
This is the first photo shoot that Harry’s done since arriving in the USA a little over two weeks ago and it was also his first mens underwear shoot. He was, understandably, a little nervous at first but he did a wonderful job and I’m very pleased with the results. Harry has great looks, an engaging and lively personality and a lovely English accent. He was a very good sport about everything I asked him to do, even though his agent thought he might be reluctant to shoot the bedroom scenes. The only thing he declined to wear was a jockstrap by itself out in the garden.

We did the shoot at a private garden cottage up in the Hollywood Hills and shot some Calvin Klein, DKNY and Speedo
swimwear. The shots I took of Harry in the shower were particularly fun to do! In the nine years I’ve been working with models here at International Jock, he’s undoubtedly one of the best and I’m sure he has a big career ahead of him.

After the shoot, we sat down for a quick interview:

Harry, I’ve really enjoyed working with you on the two shoots we’ve done. But I know that you’d never done any underwear or swimwear modeling before. What was it like for you?

Well, it seemed a bit weird at first. Made me a little nervous. But I’m got used to the idea and it was actually quite a good time. Wearing the briefer, skimpy items was a bit odd but no matter, the pay was great.

What kind of underwear do you usually wear?
I almost always wear boxer briefs.

Do you wear anything to bed? Do you sleep in the nude or wear pajamas or what?
Most often I wear a pair of my boxer briefs and a t-shirt when I sleep.

And what about for swimming or a day at the beach. What do you wear?
I like to wear board shorts. I’m excited to be in L.A. because I’m eager to try my hand at surfing again – I surfed a bit in Spain when I lived there and it was really fun.

How do you feel about the idea that there will be all these photos of you wearing underwear on the internet and men and women will be lusting after you?
Well, again, it seems a bit weird but I’m Ok with it. When you’re a model it’s part of the job.

How old are you and where did you grow up?
I’m 20 years old and will be 21 in August. I was born in Bath, England and went to school there for a while. Then my family moved to Alicante, Spain where I lived for nine years. Then I moved back to England to be with my girlfriend in London. She was a dancer and it was through her that I met a modeling agent in London and got my start.

Did you learn to speak Spanish?
Oh yes, I speak it fluently – it should help me a lot living here in Los Angeles

What kind of work did you do before you started modeling?
I was in construction and did air conditioning work, plumbing and general construction of all kinds. It was hard work and I did it seven days a week for quite a while.

How do you like being a model compared to working in construction?
What can I say – it is just so different.

You’ve got an incredible body. How do you stay in shape – do you work out or play sports?
My body looks pretty good just naturally I suppose. I really don’t go to the gym that much – maybe two or three times a week. When I was a schoolboy I played football and rugby, but prefer action sports. I love motocross and had my own bike and raced competitively when I was a teenager.

Wasn’t that dangerous?
Yeah. It seems like I spent half my life in hospital! (laughs) I had quite a few crash ups. Broke my leg and hip, cracked my skull once, broke some ribs and got pretty banged up. I do like to live life on the edge though. I have that need for speed – jet skiing, motocross, anything fast. I also like shooting.

Hunting or target shooting?
Mainly target shooting. I’ve only been in Los Angeles for a little over a week and have already found a range and have gone shooting. It’s brilliant.

What about your diet, do you eat anything special to keep your body in shape?
I like the usual stuff, meat and salads, spinach, nothing out of the ordinary. I eat a lot too. I suppose I am a high-energy person and burn a lot of calories.

How long do you plan to stay in the States?
Well, I have a return ticket back to the UK the first week of July, but I love it here and the modeling career seems to be going well so my agent wants me to stay on. I probably will stay for awhile – not sure how long – maybe a year or two if I get on well.

What is most surprising to you about L.A.? How is it different that what you expected?
No roundabouts, so many fast food places and driving on the right side of the road is more of a challenge than I had expected.

What about your family – tell me about them?
My parents are both very cool. I have a brother who’s two years older than I am. We used to fight a lot when we were young, but we get along famously now. He’s at University now.

What about your ethnic makeup? Are you totally British or a mixture of something else?
I’m 100% English. My family has lived in Bath England for as far back as anyone can remember. But I really preferred the lifestyle in Spain to that in England. The weather is so much better and it’s much more laid back. And, so far, I’m enjoying L.A. better than England too.

What happened to your girlfriend?
We broke up in England about a month ago. It was really painful after four years with her, but it was because of that change that I guess I got motivated to make a move and come here to L.A. and so far it’s been brilliant.

So you’re single and available?
Yes! (laughs)

In the midst of all the talk about “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” an active duty U.S. military officer has created Disco Valante, a “gay” underwear label. Lieutenant Nicholas Cassadine, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, started working on this new label while on assignment in the hostile mountains of Afghanistan.

Yeah, fierce! My question is why wasn’t he also out there getting “banged”? ;) More after the jump.

Using his fiery imagination, this clothing label incorporates vibrate colors schemes paired with fun designs. He also uses his very hot friends to model for him, and when I say hot, it’s more like DAMN!

Speaking of design, you all know how much I love changing the design of this blog, well, you definitely need to check out the Disco Valante website — I don’t know if there’s any website in this world that can load as it quickly as it makes you unload.

Who would have thought a military officer could cover our asses so well?

Get out your rhinestones and sharpen your scissors; it is time for the DIFFA designers to work their magic. In case you haven’t heard, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) is preparing for the fashion event of the year, Utopia. May 2 will mark the 20th anniversary of DIFFA/Dallas’ collection of denim transformations.

DIFFA is a foundation devoted to funding the cure and prevention of HIV and AIDS. The foundation has been immortalized by its vast charity events that span each year. DIFFA/Dallas grants money to AIDS Service Organization in North Texas.

DIFFA/Dallas has obtained over $4 million for the foundation, making it the most triumphant chapter nationally. Through extensive networking, DIFFA/Dallas ensures that these funds are allocated appropriately to maximize its potential.

Embodying the idea of paradise, DIFFA/Dallas has announced the event’s title to be as such so that it mirrors “a perfect world, a Utopia, where HIV and AIDS does not exist,” according to Mark Stafford, co-chair of DIFFA/Dallas.

The Utopia media party this past Tuesday featured a sample of the many designs that are to walk the runway on May 2. With the spectrum of simple to avant-garde designs, the only commonality between each piece was the Arizona denim jacket given to each designer from JC Penney. From the painted wings of Carlos Nicholls to the Sex Pistols and pleats of Antonia Hubert, the Utopia media party showcased a plethora of designs.

With 8 years of carefully crafted jackets behind him, Izzy Zot is constantly inspired by the power of fabrics.

“It is the fabric that gives the ability to do what you want to do with it,” Zot said.

With the signature look of wings and red ribbons, Carlos Nicholls has returned to a 13th year with DIFFA/Dallas as his emotions control his brushstrokes thus making the theme of each jacket different from the last.

Having his hands soaked in the waters of fashion for over 20 years, Geoffrey Henning will present his 4th denim transformation. The motivation for Henning’s contribution to DIFFA/Dallas was to continually give back to the fashion community as well as giving the male perspective to how a woman should be dressed. He draws inspiration from the classic Lanvin designs of the 1950s with Siberian fox collars and original heavy lace.

Another influential designer of the evening was Robert Jenkins which will be presenting his 4th jacket at DIFFA/Dallas. Although he creates a different jacket every year, Jenkins is known for his revamped Swarovski-crystal-encrusted denim jacket which has a new addition every two to three months. He has carried this heavy crystal armor with him for the past 4 years showing that this is nothing less than an undying tradition for a competitive yet united cause.

After a few turnabouts around the grandeur room and a rendezvous with a dinosaur-inspired look from the Henson Studios in New York, we couldn’t help but to notice the sense of unity in the room. Although the attendees were from many different walks of life, we were all there in remembrance and support for those that we have lost to HIV and AIDS.

Concluding our evening with just a glimpse of what is to come on May 2, curiosity still overwhelms us — how can DIFFA get any better? Prepare yourselves so that your eyes may feast on these delectable denim delicacies.

The DIFFA/Dallas 20th Anniversary Collection will be showing on May 2, 2009 at The Hilton Anatole Hotel at 5:30 pm. Details at www.DIFFADallas.org

We all know what they say about Brazilian men so I’ll spare my fingers from typing about how hot they all are. I just got word that there is a young and hot new designer, also Brazilian, that is jumping into the underwear designer arena. His name is Anderson Prata. He just recently launched Element(o)s Brazil underwear and Oceans Brazil swimwear. Anderson is the designer and spokesperson for both lines at the moment. Help the kiddo out, visit his website! Pics after the jump.

UPDATE: We just found out that the dude in the pic is Anderson Prata in the flesh.

What do you think, like his stuff?

Maxwell Zagorski and Paul Vandervort graces the new ad campaign that International Jock just sent over. The guys hooked up with Levi’s, the uber gay-friendly clothing company, to carry their underwear collection.

International Jock is happy to announce the immediate availability of the brand new collection of Levi’s underwear. Levi’s classic American blue jeans have been an essential item for men around the world for well over 100 years and Levi’s underwear offers the same quality, masculine styling and affordability.

Check out the images of the hunky models after the jump.

The Levi’s collection consists of low-rise briefs, trunks, t-shirts and tank tops made from the softest 100% cotton fabric. The briefs and trunks include distinct features such as a Levi’s logo embedded in the waistband and contrast stitching in gold around the pouch and the leg openings – the same golden-colored thread that Levi’s uses in their famous 501 jeans, “the jeans that won the West.”

The cover was shot by Ryan Colford. More after the jump.

“Adam’s a very friendly, very easy-going guy and is a real pleasure to work with,” photographer John Sievers said.

Adam’s apparently really popular on the International Jock web site and had received fan mail and requests for autographed photos of him. My request: See-thru underwear!

Check out the rest of the set after the jump.

Crotch #2 belongs to David Beckham. #1 is Giorgio Armani who was at the beach Tuesday in Saint Barthelemy getting his tan.

Model Jason Holmes sports the new collections of men’s briefs and swimwear by Diesel and Andrew Christian during a photoshoot late last month at International Jock’s Hollywood, Calif. studios.

Jason is a consummate professional and his stunning good looks are another great addition to the galaxy of male models that grace International Jock’s website. Tall, lean, athletic and muscular, his body is simply amazing and his intense hazel green eyes sparkle with intensity.

Oh no, the horror! Like always, there are some morons who opposed the ad and left some pretty snark comments on the youtube video. Dolce and Gabanna is also famous for their gay TIME campaign.

Oh my! The hot men of Timoteo recently participated in a benefit runway show for a non-profit org called Bienestar. They are an organization that provides services for the Latino community in Los Angeles to help fight Aids/HIV, alcoholism, HIV prevention and provide education.

This is the third year Timoteo has anchored the show, according to the company’s president.

Models Ben Godfre, Matus, Vincent Rivera, Chad, and Nelson Grande were a few of the models that rocked the runway. Photographer Tom Cullis was there to photograph the event. Check out more hot pics after the jump. Happy Friday!

Head over to Teamm8’s website and select the hottie you want to see in the next campaign — my votes on Cameron.

Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford is looking mighty fine in his interview video, even though he slips up on most of the answers he gave. He also tried to debunk his gay rumors by saying Tokyo is the fashion capital of the world.

Oh, and Queerty, Milan isn’t the fashion capital, it’s Barcelona. Video after the jump.

Marc Jacobs and husband Lorenzo Martone look very happy together as they wandered hand-in-hand around New York City. The couple had a lunch date at Da Silvano.

Upon leaving the happy couple held hands and kissed as they walked to their waiting car. Marc was wearing a skirt and was carrying a huge man purse.

UPDATE: According to our commenter, it’s an expensive huge man purse :)

Take a look at the pics after the jump and then head over to the shop.

Oh, and check out this comment from Mike

I love checking out the hot boys on your site. I hope Thor can make the cut.

Mucho gracias Mike! Bessos!

Jacobs caught glance of the paparazzi and gave them quite a make-out show during their lunch date at Pastis in the Meatpacking District. The happy couple enjoyed a few laughs before french kissing again for what seemed like minutes.

This season, stand out from the familiar fall earth-toned styles with the new “It” color: purple. Long associated with royalty, variations of this hue will make an imperial statement in this season’s wardrobe, and UnderGear has a variety of items that are fit for a fashion king.

Don’t you just wish that you can strip those hot underwear off?  With his sexy abs, and super boyish charms, who wouldn’t fall for this Brazilian hottie?  Edilson’s third photo session features Nasty Pig and California Muscle which are the latest lines at International Jock.

One quick question, did Edilson turned you on? Better still, check out the complete photos at International Jock.

These dudes are known as the Jameswinston Co., a UK-based underwear firm that has ad campaigns that will literally make you blow — plus I’ve got some in my dresser… the pink one from their S-brief collection.

It’s really hard to explain the ‘feel’ of the underwear asides from that fact that it doesn’t bunch up the boys. :) Totally comfortable wear and I love the non-chicky design. I guess you can say it’s a manly-man’s underwear.

I grabbed some images off their website, www.jameswinston.uk.com, but I can only do so much with print screen. Check em’ out. Get on, Get Hard.

“For a small brand, generating publicity is one area that Jameswinston Co. has proven particularly adept. We’re incredibly fortunate so many magazines and blogs respect what we do enough to gamble on growing with us. It simply highlights that even the biggest competitors don’t match our marketing creativity and product quality. It’s been hard starting at our size as prospective suppliers often don’t want to accept a small business can have world – class standards. It’s all too much pain for too little gain, I guess!’ smiles James.”

The current Jameswinston Co. range is available at www.jameswinston.uk.com, www.deadgoodundies.com , www.becheeky.com and www.socksandjocks.ie

The ad made national headlines in the United States which had many groups including the American Family Association try and boycott and denounce Mr. Beckham for even posing for the department store in such a yummy manner.

Now that has to be the most random selection of celebs ever! Why did they bring Martha Stewart into the mix? She made K-Mart bankrupted. Isn’t HIlfiger racist, or was that just a rumor?

He also sent a pic of their model Niel working the new wear.

Jesse is such a drunk. Remember his shirtless pic? 5 More images.

Okay so both you and I know that something weird has been going on with this blog, well, weird isn’t really the correct word to use. We’re trying to find our niche yet again and though we have a pretty firm reputation here in the blogosphere we are trying to push a little further in terms of readership and content, but I really don’t know what the hell to do :) So if you guys can answer a few questions it would greatly help (or if you rather see the larger version image of Terron Wood scroll down).

QUICKIE SURVEY
1. Do you like this new blog format or would you prefer the traditional format where the images are half of the screen (non-thumbnails) and you have to scroll all the way down just to get an idea of what the article is about?

2. Do you want more content on news, celebs, events, press releases, hot men, entertainment, fashion or all of the best?

3. What can I do to get you to come back to this blog daily?

4. Do you prefer the current color scheme or should we go back to a mostly black theme?

Okay, okay. Maybe he didn’t think long about it, but the ‘hard’ part may be something he can’t help. The way it works is that the public now votes for their favorite guy and the top 5 will play back-end (football term) to the returning hottie, Jason Beam in the new Teamm8 campaign.

Don’t forget to check out their hot photos featured on this blog here and here.

“Chanel gave women freedom,” and Saint Laurent “gave them power,” Berge said on France-Info radio. He called Saint Laurent, 71, a “true creator” who went beyond the aesthetic to make a social statement.

Saint Laurent once said he felt “fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves.”

He first emerged as a promising designer at age 17, winning first prize in a contest sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat for a cocktail dress design.

A year later, in 1954, he enrolled at the Chambre Syndicale school of haute couture, but student life lasted only three months. He was introduced to Christian Dior, then regarded as the greatest creator of his day, and Dior was so impressed with Saint Laurent’s talent that he hired him on the spot.

When Dior died suddenly in 1957, Saint Laurent was named head of the House of Dior at age 21.

Carlos joins the impressive list of hot Brazilian exports making an international name for themselves in the highly competitive world of male modeling. He is perhaps most well-known for his appearance last year on the cover of Style:Men magazine, but his stunning images have also appeared in Vanity Fair, Out, Quem and Drops magazines and on blogs and photo websites the world over. Born in 1985, Carlos Freire is amazingly good looking, with a flawless body that makes him ideally suited as an underwear and swimwear model. When not modeling or studying computer sciences in college in Brazil, Carlos enjoys riding his motorcycle, working out, watching movies and swimming at the beach.

The guys at IQONIQ was really surprised and extremely glad to see Wander Aguiar’s photoshoot for their new campaign. Who wouldn’t? Kevin and Cris are packed with prime sexiness, they are truly the perfect choice for this campaign, plus the beach side theme adds sophistication and style. Truly both models will stir tons of excitement in the blogaysphere! I wonder if I can find their numbers? It will be nice to give them an “innocent” hi!
