If You've Got Dirty Balls That Need Cleaning...




Good hygiene is sooo important....Clean your scrotum and get in the game..."I could play with these all day." ;-)

Sean O'Pry + Calvin Klein = Pure SEX

Calvin Klein continues to turn up the heat with their new Spring/Summer 2010 jeans campaign. The fashion house churns out some sizzling photos of a rugged, oiled up and dirtied down Sean O'Pry as he crawls, rolls around and lathers up in the sand (That man makes the SAND look sexy). The campaign speaks for itself, Calvin Klein epitomizes sexy this season and if you don't believe me just look at O'Pry's....everything.

Darius Rucker - Wild One





When this video premiered back in 2002 I remember thinking, "Who the hell is Darius Rucker?" Once I actually remembered who he was I thought, "Why the hell is 'Hootie' trying do soul music?" I couldn't fathom that someone with such a glossy pop sound could ever create something that was so rooted in soul music. But with continued plays on VH1 Soul and the cosign of my father, I came to discover that "Wild One" is genuine in both heart and soul. It's vulnerable and heartfelt. It's "the real deal," as my father would say. Whatever it may be it sounds good to me. Really good.

David Agbodji - Calvin Klein Reprise



David Agbodji is on a roll with Calvin Klein this season. He just keeps pumping out one phenomenal shot after another. Calvin Klein would do wise to keep this model on as the face of their collections.

Ty in Androgynous Form



New York model, Ty Ogunkoya, is the epitome of androgynous beauty in DANSK magazine's latest preview of their upcoming spring/summer issue. The skinny boy models, dressed in a loose grey top and scaly grey pants, with long flowing hair blends the look of man and woman (with a bit of reptile) into a beautiful form that is initally confusing and completely mesmerizing. I can only imagine how breathtaking it might be if it was a face forward shot.

Givenchy FW 2010

Givenchy has yet to reclaim that stroke of genius that was displayed during its Fall 2009 runway show but what they've retained and always shown is that Givenchy has a message within their design and they are at the forefront of fashion when it comes to model castings. Aesthetically speaking, the designs are a bit basic. Suits, classic shirts and leather pieces. What sets them slightly apart from other basics are the subtle details in the construction (a few asymmetrical cuts and layered, holey pants), the Christian inspiration (the Jesus shirt and the golden nettles) and, of course, the skirts (LOVE it!). But what's most intruiging are the models. No other brand gives you such a diverse and stunning cast of male models and they always deliver edge and beauty.































Led Zeppelin - What Is And What Should Never be

"And if I say to you tomorrow / Take my hand, child, come with me /
It's to a castle I will take you / Where what's to be, they say will be."


Some things are undeniable, unstoppable and some things will never be. Finding out which thing is which is the fun and sometimes painful part of life...but it's life.

"And if you say to me tomorrow / Oh what fun it all would be /
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby / But What Is And What Should Never Be."

Pink And Her Camp Fire Tales


Jean Paul Gaultier FW 2010

For Jean Paul Gaultier's latest fall collection the legendary designer pulled inspiration from the world of boxing in the most violent, dramatic and beautiful kind of way. Blending soft with hard Gaultier threw a fashion show complete with a boxing ring, fighters, as well as bruised and bloodied models. Gaultier uses construction and color to his advantage to create eye catching combinations of leather, boots, knitting and ridged pieces that are definite knockout without being to literal or over the top. The few drawbacks are his loudly colored muscle print shirts and ties that distract from the beauty of the other pieces. Despite these missteps Gaultier still knows how to hit fans of fashion with a 1, 2 combo of edgy and inspired style. Gloves and hats off to the bad boy of French fashion.

Jay Electronica - Exhibit A Trailer

Jay Electronica has released a trailer of his video for his Just Blaze produced track "Exhibit A (Transformations" to web. The video, directed by David Goldwatch, was filmed in Nepal and Dubai and shows Jay Electronica's as a curious humanitarian (styled like a new age Indiana Jones) as he searches for knowledge amongst the residents of these nations. I'm intruiged to see what the final product will look like...and if Indiana Electronica will swoop in to save the day.

Jewel's Clever Intuition

"You got something that you're wanting to sell / Sell yourself, just cash in." Jewel's a smart artist but it doesn't take a genius to know that sex sells. But more than being smart Jewel is clever. Back in 2003 she was clever enough to give audiences bubble gum pop while lacing it with flavorful observations about the world of entertainment, "They say Ms. J's big butt is boss / Kate Moss can't find a job / In a world of post modern fad / What was good now is bad." Chew on that.





*Side Lipton: I LOVE when her background dancer gets down on the ground and starts POPPING it near the end of the video. Get it, girl!*
