This uptown man is single and open and waiting... for you... to justify...

The sight of a soaking wet Lenny Kravitz (with his fly down, mind you) is all it took to convince me to snatch this month's issue of Uptown off the newsstand. Inside, the 47-year old rocker talks about his relationship with his late mother Roxie Roker and his heartbreak over the death of R&B singer Teena Marie whom he was once close to and considered to be like a sister to him. In regards to his relationship status, Kravitz is quoted as saying "I'm single and open and waiting" (hhmm.... sounds like a line from that little tune he wrote for Madonna about 20-years ago). He also talks to Uptown about his new album Black and White America which is inspired by a documentary he saw on post-Obama racism.

Kravitz has been known to appear artfully nude in editorial spreads before, but I'm sorry to report that this cover shot is as salacious as it gets for Uptown. Although he doesn't show any skin in this 7-page photo spread it still ain't too shabby. Face it, this man could wrap himself head to toe in a burka and still be sexy as f*ck.

Black and White America is set to be released this coming Tuesday (August 30th) and can be downloaded via .

yep, I'd do him...

Now that I'm catching up on True Blood (just started season 3 on ) I've identified my absolute favorite fanged creature, Alexander Skarsgard. I'm not typically in to pale blondies, but I find his sinister character on the show to be irresistible. Here he is looking all sexy on the cover of Wonderland Mag (October 2011). By the way, yesterday (8/25) was his 35th birthday. Happy be-lated Alex...  I'd let you be my maker (True Bloodies know what I'm talking about).

Outlines Hottie

It's good to see Andy (Andres) on the cover of this week's Outlines Magazine. I remember when I briefly had the wonderful opportunity to have him in front of my lens a few years back.

Francisco Lachowski by Renie Saliba

Although I'm probably a bit more infatuated by his "rumored" boyfriend Marlon, there's no doubt Brazilian model Francisco Lachowski gives good face (and lush pink lips too!). This image by Renie Saliba for Carbon Copy.

Jason Derulo Nude

All I can say is Dayum!

In bed with Marlon...

I would really love to get my hands on this GQ China edition. Or perhaps I can just get my hands on Marlon Teixeira. See more here.

The JoBro...

I’ve never really paid much attention to the Jonas Brothers mainly because I thought it a bit inappropriate to oggle over the same cast of Disney characters that would send my nine and ten year old nieces into a frenzy of hyperactivity every Saturday morning. But I have to say, this photo spread of Joe Jonas in the April issue of Details caught my attention. So much so that I snatched the issue right off the newsstand merely because of the hot dark-haired guy on the cover (yes, I am so unfamiliar with the Jonas Brothers that I didn’t even recognize who he was at first).

These pics by Norman Jean Roy are so damn hot, and oh yeah, I actually read the article too. Joe Jonas is now 21, living on his own in a loft apartment in Hollywood, and has apparently lost his purity ring. He also combats those gay rumors with the very safe (and boring) “There’s nothing wrong with being gay... but I’m not,” response. He’s got a solo album coming out this spring and one would think if he were really trying to shed his JoBro image he’d have said something a little edgier, like: “I get way too punani to be gay.” Okay, so that may be a bit too much, but you know he’s gettin’ it and that would have been a hot soundbyte coming from a grown-n-sexy teen idol twink. See more of his Details photo spread here.

Mantique

Before the internet we gay men turned to these glossy paper things called magazines to  get our lustful fill of man flesh. Mark Baron is the credited model in this spread from the September 1995 issue of For Women (yeah right). Out of curiosity I googled him to see if he had much of a modeling career since the 90s, but my search returned no conclusive results. He appears to be in his early twenties here, so I figure he must be in his late thirties (forty at most) now. Leave a comment if you know of any more recent images of him. (photo credit: Caroline Summers.)

 

Coitus? Why, yes please...

 

It seems as though Brazilian male supermodel Marlon Teixeira has been popping up all over the gay blogosphere lately. Needless to say, I’ve developed a bit of an infatuation with this olive-skinned, pink-lipped, pleasure-trailed, eye gumdrop. Turns out he’s one of five cover boys for Coitus Magazine’s Issue #2. Lensed by Pantelis, he’s a good reason to check out the new pub. Coitus is a unique high-art/fashion magazine which only prints 1000 books per issue. Teixeira graces the cover of just 200 prints of this issue and I’ve already placed my order! (Well worth the $24 after Euro conversion!) See more here.

 

that's waka...

I must confess I am not a big follower of hip hop, and I'd never heard of Waka Flocka until I picked up the current issue of RESPECT at the newsstand yesterday. Though I don't know much about his music, he's looking pretty damn respectable in his first magazine cover lensed by Dan Monick.
