Flaming on Photoshop...

Flaming... on... photoshop....? Hm, that doesn't exactly come across right for some reason , but I figured if there was any one individual to flame for, it might as well be for this veritable 'Mr. Universe' basking in his hotness...

As you can tell, apparently I've had too much time on my hands ... I've finally decided to get myself a copy of the latest Photoshop CS5 (or perhaps more accurately,upgrade to it)... and figured I might as well give it a test run by putting my 'far-less-than-perfect-yet-moderately-skilled' photoshopping skills on display. The end result thus far apparently is this...

Something tells me I might've over done it ... But yeah, my goal is basically to work on manipulating lighting, numerous blending techniques, and ultimately perhaps 'slightly' accentuating the gorgeousness of an already-superhot models . It's really a lot more fun than I might've anticipated, plus I suppose a little practice might go a long way towards complementing a future endeavor I've been thinking of 'embarking' upon...

What do you guys think, is this a good start? Or should I just quit while I'm... well, not really ahead or behind? ...

Questions and Dilemmas

To purchase the box set DVDs, or not to purchase the box set DVDs; that is the question...

Or at least one of dozens upon dozens (upon dozens) of questions I've been left with following last weekends... let's say interesting finale twist? I'm assuming most of you should have seen it by now, but for the sake of those who haven't had a chance to watch it and/or the series in general, I hold off on spoiling anything . Suffice to say, I had a love/hate opinion on the finale (and perhaps the final season as whole itself looking back now)... But I think this video probably articulates my lingering sentiments better than I ever could...

Question, question, and more questions that ultimately will never get answered nor resolved in any way, shape or form whatsoever now. Which of course gets me back wondering whether it's even worth it purchasing the entire box set... (*sigh*)... Dilemmas, dilemmas...

Robert James Hoffman III Spoofs Abercrombie

New fragrance fans rejoice! Apparently at long last Abercrombie and Fitch have joined forces with prolific dancer/choreographer/actor/urban ninja? Robert James Hoffman III to unveil their latest line of men's cologne...

I assume the goal here was going for ultra-masculine with a slight tinge of chic? Seeing as it comes 100% fully endorsed by Robert himself and bares his personal seal of approval, I'd imagine this line should be flying off the shelves in a couple months or so when it fully debuts...

On a more serious note though... This is perhaps the second video I've come across where we catch a glimpse of Robert in his shower... And I'd just like to say that's enough to get my seal approval ... (Being both funny and hot accounts for something I guess )...

Nick Ayler heats up Spring

Focused, out-going, determined, friendly, and ambitious are but only a few characteristics some would use to describe this gorgeous up-and-coming (and at the moment, highly sought after) model ...

Ok, who am I kidding ... those were actually a couple adjectives 23 year-old model/DJ/recording artist Nick Ayler used to describe himself ... and more or less his drive to be the best at whatever he does, whenever he takes it upon himself to do 'it'...

With of course the proverbial 'it' in this case amounting to simply lighting up a camera every - chance - he - gets .

Considering Nick happened to have recently made his way before pro-amongst-pros, Florida-based photographer Michael Anthony Downs' lens, I'm sure as some of you can tell from these shots the ultimate results are nothing short of soaring high into the stratosphere of Just Beautiful photography.

And did I mention along with another follow-up shoot to complement this one, Nick here is already slated as one amongst twelve for the soon to be released 2011 MASCULINE calendar by Michael Downs? Sounds... well, let's just say a couple summer months flash across my mind when I get a mental image of this guy .

Pure, pure stunning... And definitely a face to keep an eye out for in the upcoming months/year(s) to come .

Masculine Beauty: Part Deux

I posted this model about a couple days ago (perhaps it was a week or two?... Lol, time flies ). Anyhow yeah, so I posted this model a little while back now... and was planning on moving on...

And yet lo and behold in my time away from the blog, a kind reader by the name of Eileen took it upon herself to do a little sleuthing of her own regarding the identity of this mystery man. Subsequently she wound up discovering his name's Andrew... (granted he has a last name of course, but apparently he uses/used solely his first name to do a little modeling ).

Seeing how Eileen was kind enough to track down this information, I figured I might as well return the favor and featuring a couple more shots I've been sitting regarding this stunning mystery man.... (As the story goes, apparently these were the only shots he's ever taken professionally... and he's since vanished from the scene). How unfortunate really, but at least he's left behind a rather stunning trail...

Thanks Eileen for the I.D. on this one ...

Charlie St. Cloud Eyecandy

In light of upcoming 2010 drama Charlie St. Cloud's first trailer finally being unveiled a couple days ago, I think it's safe to say one crucial plot device has more than been confirmed...

In a word: Lots and lots of eyecandy.

Mostly of the Z-Efron variety... in scene after scene... from start to finish... nonstop... Zac Efron... eycandy overload... looking gorgeous... effortlessly hot, in scene after sce... well, you get the idea . Suffice to say the movie looks rather... nice...

Plus believe it or not, from the looks of the actual trailer itself, there might be an engaging romantic story arc complemented by a somewhat mysterious supernatural element playing out in the background... Very, very interesting .

This film doesn't release until way later this year in October, so it's still quite a little ways off... but judging from a couple of these recently released shots above (along with a couple more photos of the 'unauthorized variety' a couple months back), I'd be confident in wagering there's perhaps a few more gorgeous production stills eventually coming down the pipeline once the marketing campaign kicks into high gear .

As far as I'm concerned though, this movie's looking pretty hot already ...

Soap Stud

Clearly a couple laws of chemistry had to have been broken in the midst of capturing of this shot ...

For under any normal circumstances, one might've assumed most of those dripping suds would have long evaporated instantly upon making contact with this stud... (under normal circumstances at least )... Just Beautiful...

Just British Cute-iful

Subtle...

So much so you would never even guess that beneath this mild-mannered demeanor...

...lay an impeccably gorgeous British 'lad'... who just happens to bear an uncanny fondness for modeling (preferably in the nude)... That is of course assuming he's not busy further 'pimping'-out his sweet ride for show events . Oh, and as you can tell perhaps from the shot above, he also happens to be super, super cute ...

But yeah, when 22 year-old British beauty Ben M. isn't busy souping up his car... he does manage to leave a trail of seemingly unforced yet utterly sexy photography. I just call it subtle hotness...

Subtlety perhaps accentuated by one of the sexiest tattoos I've ever seen on a guy... (*ponders for a moment*)... Yes, I'd say it's almost like a 'roadmap' regardless of what he's wearing (almost). Very, very sexy indeed... And perhaps Just a little Beautiful as well...
