Beauty arrives from Lyon

So ends the month of April, and in comes the heart of Spring... the beginning of May. And with a new month comes bluer skies, warmer wearther, and of course, a new fantastic issue of Sensitif...
As usual, every successive issue of Sensitif comes a new set of impeccable models to stun and amaze. This time around we're introduced to two distinctly unique yet equally beautiful French models; Alexandre Kuntz up above and Arnaud Larue below.

Both not only superb models, but incredibly intensive athletes as well (hence the photoshoot title Sports Attitude)... Between swimming, basketball, surfing and a host of other outdoors activities, Alexandre and Arnaud prove there's more to staying in shape and looking great than just hitting the gym.

Already Sensitif has featured two of my top 10 all-time favorite photographers (can you guess who they are mrgreen?)... But yeah judging from these fantastic shots by photographer César Colina, there might be room enough to make for an addendum to my list of favorites.

And yes, sexy and booksmart... a man after my own tastes cool...

You can check out more on Cesar's dynamic duo of hotness over at Sensitif's online site. Oh, and yes... Alexandre is 100% my type. It's rare but every once in a while they do come up mrgreen...

Drifting on a boat...

Quite intimate... an afternoon just sailing on the open seas... playing a game of chess (it seems), or texting away on a cell.

If I could spend an entire summer like this I'd be in heaven... or at least as close as you can get to it while drifting on the seas... Maybe even a month I wouldn't mind
mrgreen... if only to get away from the daily routine...(note: three buddies would have to be included in this vacation package otherwise I'm not going cool)...

I spy Vancouver... in Gigapixel

Technology that allows you to to not only combine hundreds of photos into one massive image... but also to zoom in and out of said photos in a 180 degree panoramic view. What better use for Gigapixel imagining than to spy in on people's apartments over in Vancouver...cool... err, wait, what?... This is legal right?...

Ah well, regardless of the legality, this is a really neat shot. The apartments being peered into by this massive camera are actually condos in downtown Vancouver (I think they call the area Yaletown harbor). Quite a swanky place to live no doubt. If only they knew... (*eyes shift mischievously*)...cool... By the way, did anyone manage to spy the super hot guy getting ready for a shower?... no? Yeah, I'm still looking too sad...

Submergence

Generally I prefer guys wearing boardshorts to guys wearing speedos... but yeah, I guess every now and then there's a few exceptions to the rule...
Emerging
Just Beautiful... (although maybe he might want to consider a different color next time confused)...

Calgary Beauty

Ah beautiful Calgary... home of the uh, hmm... you know what, I just realized I don't know that much about that gorgeous northern metropolis neutral.
Aside of course from it being a great winter destination and the NHL Calgary Flames hockey team playing there I'm pretty much clueless as to any interesting facts regarding one of the largest cities across the Canadian border... But I'd like to find out more mrgreen... Especially with regards to some of Calgary's 'hotter' residents...

First and foremost of course starting with this gorgeous gentleman you see here before you. He's not exactly a cowboy, but he sure plays a hell of a great one in front of the camera. Introducing 25 year-old Calgary native, model Jared W.

Jared is another model that also started doing photoshoots just a couple months ago... as such he's still building up his portfolio. But as you can tell from these amazing shots, he's apparently chosen a superb photographer to start out with. These shots were all taken by a young Calgary photographer named Phil.
Superb work all-around. And yes, thankfully nothing was dropped during the photoshoot confused... (almost looks like they're both about to take off cool)...

But yeah, Jared is an absolutely amazing photography subject. It was tough choosing which shots of his to display seeing as they're all pretty much equally amazing... definitely look forward to seeing more from him hopefully in the future.

Disturbing Allegations

Ultra-partisan outrage!... or somewhere along those lines might be where the criticism starts regarding this documentary (or should I say exposé mrgreen?) targeting national political power players....
Outing gay conservative politicians... quite scandalous cool. Generally the concept of forcefully pulling people out of the closet appears somewhat underhanded... but it seems this latest documentary 'Outrage' by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick ultimately has a larger purpose behind it. Namely exposing hypocrisy... the kind you'd find at the highest level of political power....
There are in fact proud gay conservatives out there... This movie isn't so much an attack on them as it is an attack on their ideological compatriots who might (for one reason or another) find it beneficial to attack certain groups for political expediency. We've seen it all before unfortunately... so this is nothing new. A documentary directly (or allegedly cool) outing sitting officials, now that's something I haven't seen before.

You can read up more on Outrage over at the Huffington Post.

Almost too familiar

Nice ripple effect I'd say mrgreen...

Every say 3 or 4 days randomly during the week I make time to go to my local NY sports club just a few miles down the road from me. There's a guy in particular who also frequents that gym pretty much every single day... Suffice to say my (passive) roving eye has locked onto him every now and again...
Oddly enough 22 year-old part-time model Matthew here looks strikingly similar to that guy (who shall remain nameless cool) from my gym... albeit a little more shirtless, with a couple interesting aforementioned ripples here and there mrgreen.

But yeah, as you might've noticed by now I tend to go for the beefier well-built guys. Although technically this is my limit on 'beefiness'... Maybe I should ask the guy at my gym if he models by any chance mrgreen...

I kissed a...

Above all the shirtless guys and amazing displays of 'male beauty' I find shots like this to be truly exceptional. Is there a backstory here?... How did the guy on the left get paint on his forehead... and is this really a spur of the moment?

Kind of looks professionally done, but yeah... who can say for sure I guess cool. Still, this shot kind of reminds me of a song I almost used for a music video a while back. How did it go again...?
...no, this can't be right. It's a little too subtle confused... If only changed the lyrics up just slightly...

Good Morning...

So I know it hasn't been that long since I left college... but I'm almost positive I don't recall any engineering students that looked like this. At least not that I'm aware of mrgreen.

These shots of 22 year-old student/model Micah were taken by an interesting photographer/deviantartist that we might see more of in the future (perhaps if time permits cool)...

But yeah, talk about waking up to a gorgeous day cool... Just Beautiful...
