Nice day outside for a change

Crystal clear blue skies overhead, gorgeous green evergreens staying, um... as green as ever I guess . Plus a beautiful weather all around... All in all a perfect day for playing outdoors wouldn't you say?

Perfect in every single aspect... except... there's just one thing missing. Ah yes that's right ... remembering to bring the right clothes to the match . From the looks of things, apparently a couple (model-worthy) teammates failed to get the memo to dress in team colors.

As luck would have it, we've got an extra pair of clothes handy for Mr. white boxer briefs and his commando friend . Plus the semi-privacy of our afore-mentioned gorgeous evergreens.

Not that these guys seem really all that concerned about privacy ... If I didn't know any better... hm. Seems to be a running theme with the rest of his Mr. Sunglasses teammates down below so I can't say I'm all that surprised.

But yeah, it's a gorgeous day indeed... for a change.

Now back to the games down below ...

Daniel Erthal

Now here's a blast from the past that I really haven't thought about for quite some time...

But seeing as I was still in a mood for Brazilian beauty, I figured how could I possibly forget the gorgeous one himself from Rio... 26 year-old actor/model Daniel Erthal.

Perfection ...

These shots were taken way back in 2006 (it might have been even earlier, seeing as it's been quite a while)... But this amazing photo session with photographer Fernando Torquatto appeared first appeared on Paparazzo and basically floored me at the time.

Gorgeous Daniel debuted in his acting career doing a short stint back in 2004 on a Brazilian telenovela (soap opera) titled Da Cor del Pacado... He subsequently went on to do a couple more series' from 2006 onward, but (from what I gather from his IMDb profile) he hasn't really acted much since 2008 ...

Fortunately his time in modeling did manage to leave us a trail of beautiful gems.

Ah the Brazilian landscape, truly a feast for the eyes indeed...

Jeremy Kost + Adam Phebus + Joshua Tree

What does it add up to? Well apparently a fantastic photoshoot of a beautiful model out in the arid California desert for starters...

In a world of digital, the polaroid man is king!... Ok ... so maybe Erasmus doesn't exactly translate perfectly to the world of photography... but photographer Jeremy Kost sure does live up to his moniker "The Polaroid Artist" with these beautiful shots of 22 year-old Los Angeles model Adam Phebus.

(*eyes zero in on abdominals*)... Oh sorry. Got mesmerized for a second there by a display of perfection ...

Adam Phebus himself is a bright up and coming model who's done work with the likes of Instinct, OUT and Tetu magazines, along with Abercrombie and Fitch and a fantastic photoshoot with photographer Tom Cullis. You can check out more of Adam Phebus's photoshoot with Jeremy Kost (along with a who's who of amazing models) over at Jeremy's photography blog.

And yeah honestly, the Californian desert's really never looked better ...

Should have beens...

Should have been, could have been, however you'd like to phrase it... there's just some people out there who have the total look and such natural talent for modeling, the only reaction I you can think of when coming across their pictures is 'that guy probably could've been a model'...

Well guess what?... This first guy probably could've been a model...

And this second guy definitely could've been a model ...

But yeah... this last guy? He absolutely should've been a model . Seriously, you'd have thought someone duplicated the left half of him, and copied it inversely on the right. Now that's what I call symmetry. Amazing...

Where are they headed?

I know not from whence this small militia of shirtless hotties emerged from... but something tells me I have a good idea of where they're headed... (*door bell rings*)... now if you'll just excuse me for a second .

Ok, so as it turns out, I left the headlights on my car on. My neighbor was nice enough to inform me... ... ... Dammit, I think I've been stood up ...
