Too many hot minutes have passed since we last saw Ricky Martin in a Speedo. We rectify that in haste this morning with these fine(ly photoshopped) promotional photos from his appearance in the new American Crime Story: Versace. That’s the one that will also showcase Darren Criss in his tiny pink Speedo, and who knows what other kind of male nudity. (It was Miami in the mid-90’s after all – models were running rampant in skimpy attire and South Beach was the go-to hot-spot of the moment, thanks to the likes of Madonna.)
Though I skipped out on the O.J. Simpson story they did on the last ACS round, I will likely check this one out. The murder of Gianni Versace was a memorable moment from the summer of 1997. It came right around the time when Princess Diana died. Madonna once remarked that she felt haunted during that summer, and the notion of that has always intrigued me. Even the rich and famous are equalized by mortality.
