Daniel in chains

Thank you, Mauikane, for all those spectacular pics of Edilson modeling the new Brazilian line of underwear! Edilson has appeared in lots of underwear and swimwear ads before because of his amazing physique:

I think that this is the most stunning, breath-taking series of photos of a male model (or of any male) that I have ever seen in my life. Needless to say, the photographer, Deon Jackson, had a stunning, breath-takingly beautiful model to work with, but I must say that Jackson's use of chiaroscuro -- the use of light and darkness to highlight his subject -- is astounding. He makes Brandon look like a god. My hat is off to Jackson for this gorgeous series, and of course my congratulations to Brandon for knowing how to work so well with the photographer to produce these superb poses. Brandon is simply sublime.

Very nice sequence of photos; thank you, Mauikane!

Interesting concept for this Dolce & Gabbana show -- the medieval theme; too bad about the monotonous music! But Joe looks splendid, as usual. He has such a clean, classic beauty. I really love his looks.

His name is Italian; is he? Tell us something about him!

Oh, you bet he does! And look -- he's at it again!

In addition to the fashion video 'The Beheading of Medusa' (see previous post), Scott appeared in the bizarre and rather controversial promotional film for Lady Gaga's perfume Fame. There are multiple versions of this film, including the abbreviated (35-second) one seen here: http://youtu.be/qwGE-mhfigA The longer version (over 8 minutes) can be seen here: http://youtu.be/GRaC0C27TZs If you missed Scott (easy to do!), here he is, and you can see his name in the credits: He also appears below on the far right crawling up toward Lady Gaga's shoulder (!): And here's a selfie Scott snapped backstage during a pause in the filming:

Here's another one that deserves a post all by itself!

Street Boxing A photo editorial by Gabriele Ardemagni

Highlights: He introduces himself, says he's 20 years old and lives in Barra da Tijuca [an upscale residential neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro]. He loves sports and talks about his experiences in photo shoots and on the runway. He laughs when he says "I'm a Carioca" [a resident of the city of Rio de Janeiro; the stereotype of Cariocas is that they are fun-loving party-going people], adding that he likes going to the beach, playing the guitar, hanging out with friends and drinking beer (I hope it's low-calorie!)

The long hair is a new look. I'm trying to decide if I like it on him.

Very hot video! Well done, stefanusngrh88!

No kidding! Brandon has it all and he knows how to work it. And oh, those bedroom eyes and those luscious lips :

Can you imagine being in there with him? Give me a minute... Why yes! I believe that I can!

Beautiful, a really beautiful, artistically presented show. Good for Versace! Tarik looks handsome and exotic. But Mauikane, who is the very first model who walks? He's gorgeous! And what's up with the leather cut-out pants later in the show? Why are they included in this otherwise elegant show? They seem really out of place here.

Now that I've recovered my composure , here are some more shots to add to this stunning knockout's thread:

BEAUTIFUL chiaroscuro photography, Mauikane! Kudos to the photographer, and thanks to you for posting these. Where is Rafael from?

That one's my favorite too, jamesdel. Talk about a 'come hither' look!

I've got to see this program! Edilson stars as a police officer who is assigned to pose as a call boy in order to investigate a series of murders in the gay community in Recife (a city in northeastern Brazil.) I recall that when Edilson semi-retired from modeling, he stated that he wanted to study acting, and here's the result!
