Chris Salvatore’s Underwear Line

David Beckham has done it.

Ben Cohen has done it.

Mario Lopez has done it.

Even Todd Sanfield has done it.

But the best news of all may be that Chris Salvatore is now doing it.

How did news that he was making a foray into designing Men’s Underwear escape me? I’ve got to get out more. The first I heard of this exiting endeavor was on my FaceBook feed – and it was the loveliest surprise I’ve had since Dan Osborne joined Tom Daley in a Speedo. Mr. Salvatore’s line of underwear looks intriguing, and stylish, which should come as no surprise from someone who’s made the modeling rounds within his entertainment career. He keeps things simple enough, which is the best way to begin, and I’m looking forward to trying out the goods. If they make me look half as good as he does, I’ll be a fan for life.

I can think of no one who is better suited to fit into a pair of briefs and sell it to the world. That Mr. Salvatore has always seemed like such a sweet guy makes it all the more enjoyable. (Check out some of the musical performances that feature just him and his keyboard and tell me it’s not adorable. The man’s got talent.) Even more impressive is his openly-gay status in a Hollyworld of secrets and pretend. Mr. Salvatore lives his life honestly, and is all the more effective because of it. Now he’s revealing another layer – the underlayer – and it’s fashionable, fun, flirtatious, and sexy – just like the man himself.

“Underwear is the foundation of our entire wardrobe. While it may be the least ‘visible’ article of clothing we wear everyday, I’ve always believed that it should be the most comfortable. My career has afforded me the opportunity to wear a lot of great clothes and work with some awesome clothing and costume designers over the years. I began to learn that the clothes don’t make the man, the man makes the clothes. It’s all about what makes you feel sexy and confident in your own skin, and it starts with a great pair of underwear!”  ~ Chris Salvatore Underwear

Butt What?

This is just a blatantly gratuitous grab-ass butt-focused post to ease us into this Monday holiday. I’ve shown my ass here numerous times (shall we count the ways? ~ one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, a big fat hen), but it’s not always as covered as it is here. So that’s refreshing, right? One shouldn’t be naked all the time. Well, maybe some should. But I’m not one of them. These photos were taken after a quick shower the last time I was in Boston. It’s much too cold for such nonsense – come back in July. Or at the earliest, June. The pool will be open by then. The weather will be warm. And the whole of summer will be in fullest bud.

Until then, hunker down and cozy up in a Henley and some twill or tweed. This winter is not yet done with us, and any glimpses of skin will be in short supply for the next few weeks. (At least, my skin.) The Hunks will continue to disrobe. The models will preen and pose. And the nude male celebrities that populate so many posts will still drop trou.

Derring Do, Baring Boo(ty)

It’s been a while since I’ve done a shameless underwear post like this, but the people want what they want. (Not that anyone really wants this.) Besides, it’s the weekend, so I can be as gratuitous as I want and no one will be able to find me.

There are a number of guys who have taken far more off than this, and they are in the ‘Naked Male Celebrities’ category of this site.

There are some who have taken off a little less, and they’re in the ‘Shirtless Male Celebrities’ section.

There are some who show off ‘Bulges’ in their briefs and boxers.

There are others who wear their ‘Underwear’ as outerwear.

I’m going to stop now before things go all Dirty Dr. Seuss on your ass. Or mine.

The Gratuitous Nude Shots of Stuart Reardon

The aptly-monikered Stuart Reardon rears his sumptuously nude butt in his 2014 calendar (from which not all of these photos were culled). Shot by the amazing Rick Day the calendar certainly plays up Mr. Reardon’s best assets. He’s been naked here before (on Louis Vuitton no less) but there is always room for more nude male athletes/models. While I haven’t been the most fervent admirer of body ink, there are several notable exceptions and Reardon falls into that rarified group. Now if we can only get Ben Cohen to follow suit and remove his.

Adam Levine Waking Up in his Underwear

Unfortunately it’s for the Adam Levine Collection for Kmart.

Oh Adam, what happened? Kohl’s was too exclusive?

No matter, the commercial is mostly about how sexy he is, not the (rather wretched) clothing on his back.

Oh, and that lady in a man’s dress shirt. In case anyone doubted how straight he is.

Blue Cardigan, Red Room, No Pants

True eccentrics rarely refer to themselves as eccentric, though I believe we are well aware of who we are. There’s simply no need to herald it. (That said, I don’t consider myself all that eccentric.) For my part, I do what I like, I wear what I like, and you either love it or hate it. (The ones who keep coming back and proclaiming they don’t care, well, they keep coming back. You know who you are.)

The following quotes come from an excellent article on eccentrics that was published in a recent issue of the New York Times Magazine.

“That’s what makes a real eccentric: they really mean it, and they’re willing to suffer for it. Their social function is to explode our preconceptions about what beauty is and what good taste means. Eccentrics raise the bar on the impossible… The true eccentric gives us more mystery, more wonder about being human, a new side to beauty, while the faux-eccentric gives us less of everything.” ~ Andrew O’Hagan

“People like this are beautiful storytellers, breaking rules you didn’t even know were there, just so you can see better and maybe be better. Life is so full of rules and so full of predictable routines that one can almost forget that art and life depend on spontaneity. Enter the eccentric.” ~ Andrew O’Hagan

“They didn’t always get the life they wanted, but they knew how to dream… And maybe that’s the true definition of an eccentric – someone who can’t be slain by what lesser people might say.” ~ Andrew O’Hagan

The Amazing Bulge of Ben Cohen

Leave it to Attitude magazine to get Ben Cohen into his briefs again, but if he wants to continue enticing his fans, he’s going to have to go a little further next time. It’s a race between Mr. Cohen and David Beckham to who will show their bum first, I just feel it. If I had to bet, my money would be on Beckham’s behind seeing the photographer’s flashbulbs first. But Cohen’s proven pretty ballsy in the past too, so it might be closer than wildly anticipated. Before that kind of glory, however, let’s take a brief look back. Scroll down and click away…

This wet underwear post was one of the first to feature Mr. Cohen. You never forget your first time.

Then there was this trio of boxer-brief shots.

And this trio of classic Ben Cohen bulge shots.

He looks good in an underwear-clad video too.

Here was his first Hunk of the Day feature.

And here he is in a cowboy hat.

Holding a pipe, and on the beach.

Working out before a little dancing.

But he’s best in these tight briefs.

Cristiano Ronaldo Baring His Briefs

While Cristiano Ronaldo will always pale in comparison to David Beckham and Ben Cohen, he is not without a sizable fan base, some of whom will no doubt enjoy examining these photos and GIFs of the shirtless rugby star in his new line of underwear. Proof that Ben & Beckham don’t have a monopoly on briefs and bulges, these underwear shots don’t quite have me convinced that Ronaldo is the heir-apparent to the sexy-back throne, but he’s definitely a contender.

Calendar Pin-up Ben Cohen

The 2014 Ben Cohen calendar was just released, which is all the flimsy reason I need to post these making-of shots of a deliciously shirtless Ben Cohen. It’s doubtful that anyone will mind all that much, as Mr. Cohen is both easy on the eyes, and warming to the heart given his straight ally status. One day soon I’ll do the long-planned straight ally profile on him (get back to me with those interview questions, Ben!) Until then, this sort of shirtless fluff will have to suffice. Sometimes fluff is the stuff of brilliance.

The Jockstrap Shots: Part 1

There are only a few more years (months?) that my body will be able to squeeze into a jockstrap, so here is our semi-annual jockstrap photo shoot, in honor of the World Series – and the Boston Red Sox. You can relax with the knowledge that I won’t be getting back in the jock until the Superbowl. (And even then I’m not making any promises. A jockstrap is anything but forgiving.)

PS – Stay tuned for Part 2…

However, it is a rather functional piece of clothing, which, I’m guessing, is why it remains a mainstay in the sports world. And the gratuitous gay fashion world too. Calling Andrew Christian…

Back in a Jockstrap for the BoSox

Come back here this weekend for the annual jockstrap photo shoot. It’s always better when the Red Sox are in the World Series, so this year is a special one. Though I’m told the Cardinals are formidable foes, I’m going to have to go against Andy Cohen for once and root for the team that I’ve loved since 1986. Go Red Sox!

Of Baseball & Jockstraps

The Boston Red Sox, whom I’ve loved since 1986 (yes, THAT World Series, remembered for Mr. Buckner’s bauble) just made it into this year’s World Series, so I’m going to have to squeeze into a jockstrap again in commemoration. You have your superstitious rites, I have mine. Besides, it’s been a while since I’ve joined in all the shirtlessness, and pretty soon it’s going to be way too cold for such nonsense.

As for the Red Sox, I still remember the first game I ever saw in person at Fenway Park. It was that same ill-fated year and they were playing the Blue Jays. At the time, I was more interested in Boston, and the paperwhite narcissus bulbs I just got at Quincy Market. They nestled in a brown paper bag beneath my seat. The game was good – they won! – but it didn’t captivate my interest like flowers or cobblestone streets. I sat with my Mom – my brother and Dad had better seats behind third base – it meant more to them.

I wouldn’t go back to see another game until my freshman year at Brandeis when it was part of the orientation activities. For that dismal game, when they were down by eleven points in the seventh inning, I left  a bit early, exploring Boston rather than witnessing another massacre. I’d like to go back and see another one through, but not until next year. (This time I’ll be avoiding Fenway when I’m in town next weekend. It would just be too much.) In the meantime, stay tuned for this year’s jockstrap spread

Ben Cohen, Bulging in his Briefs

It’s been a good week of shirtless male celebrities here, despite my lack of interest in things of late. First we had a very naked Zac Efron, legit, and here we have Ben Cohen in his tighty-whities on the cover of ‘Attitude’. Talk about a bountiful harvest. While Zac Efron has been featured a number of times, (also in his tighty-whities) he still pales in comparison to the number of Ben Cohen underwear posts – the guy even has his own Category. His cover shoot is in well-deserved honor of his work as an ally. When you’re hot, you’re hot, but when you’re good you’re hotter.

David Beckham, In Brief

Whilst I’m in travel status, a revisiting of some past David Beckham posts, to see how good he looks almost all of the time.

David looks splendid changing out of his shorts in the middle of a soccer game.

David looks amazing when he dons a simple pair of white briefs.

David looks intriguing when putting his snake out for all the world to see.

David looks amazing when caught on video in his underwear (and battling Mario Lopez.)

David looks better in pants than Tom Daley does out of them.

David looks decent in retirement.

David looks striking in nothing but his cologne.

David looks sporty in this locker room.

David looks best going back to front, or front to back.

Beckham’s Best Side: Bulge or Butt?

It’s been far too long (almost a week!) since the last gratuitous David Beckham post, so let’s work to rectify that right now. The question of the day is whether you prefer David’s front or back ~ bulge or backside? I think I’m slightly partial to the latter. Butt boy all the way.
