The Logo of Backroom Students

Coming out, drug addiction, and relationship issues between men are all themes you will find in his work. The lyrical content of his songs is drawn from his experiences as man living in a city where boys and men from across the country and the world come to find themselves or live in anonymity.

STILLS FROM THE VIDEO:

THOMAS HURLEY

Thomas Hurley work in this project focuses on the darker truths many of these individuals cope with. Truths shared by friends, lovers, fathers and sons. Truths experienced in honest and open moments. It is the vulnerability of these men that gave Hurley the inspiration to write.

The desire to give these stories a platform which others can listen to and in some way, perhaps, feel connected since it is the things we hide the most that sometimes connect us as men.

He identifies men as all being Back Room Students. It is in the back rooms of bars, the back rooms of their lives, the back rooms of their minds, where they hide themselves, and find themselves.

DIEGO MIGUEL

Diego Miguel is a quite famous Brazilian model, and he is very active in the worldwide scene of the fashion industry.

Bio:
Height : 6'2"
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Hazel

Interview: (source Poney Ride)

Question: Let's start by talking about your acting career, Josh. How do you work on your acting skills, do you have a coach?
Josh Kloss: No coach right now, I know I will want the help for big films. But I also truly believe all the feelings and emotions I need are within me right now. I’ve spent most of my life studying human nature via being a loner and now I'm more than ready to share what I've learned with the world on camera.

Q: What type of roles do directors and producers associate you with?
JK: Leading man, all characters.

Q: What is your ultimate goal in the film industry?
JK: Well, so far it's as simple as showing the world I have what it takes, but I don't set ultimate goals anymore just short ones I know I can achieve.

Q: Do you think that modeling is helping you develop your career in acting?
JK: Absolutely, It has given me huge opportunity, it's allowed me to travel and meet many more personalities. And modeling has helped me free up the movement of my body and given me permission to express feelings to an audience.

Q: So we can't skip the question about your video with Katy Perry, "Teenage Dream" - how did that come about?
JK: I went on an audition with hundreds of guys, which Is normal and then forgot about it when I left the building which is normal. A few weeks later out of nowhere I was waiting at MILK studios LA for Katy to meet me. I didn’t have a clue what to expect but then she walked in. Entourage in tow Katy shook my hand, tilted her sunglasses down to look me in the eyes and the rest is history.

Q: You kissed Katy! What do you fancy the most about her?
JK: Her ability to block out fear and get lost in a moment. We wound up singing a worship song together from our youth in that old Beamer. That 's not what people expect to hear I'm sure, but for me I'm more moved by the heart than looks.

THE VIDEO WITH KATY PERRY

Q: Could we catch you singing Teenage Dream or any other song by Katy?
JK: Depends where you catch me! I'd have to say "Teenage dream" but I want to say "Firework". There I said them both.

Q: You sure did Josh... So... Who was your teenage dream?
JK: Heidi Klum hands down, she still lights up the world

Q: You looked great in the video, and on all your photos. How do you work out?
JK: Thanks, super intense weight training, throw in all my pain into every rep, and very little cardio, I'm too tired for much by the end of a weight day anyways. You can really get a great cardiovascular workout through intense weight training with shorter rest periods. I want to be clear though that I don't think I am a trainer or fitness professional.

Q: Kentucky Fried Chicken, Josh, really? But that is so... bad for you! How are you finding balance between unhealthy food and your sculpted body? Do you pay attention to your diet at all?
JK: Chicken has protein! I enjoy KFC to no end it seems but you don't have to eat all that skin, and after a killer workout those mashed potatoes help, believe it or not. So the answer is yes I always keep an eye on my diet especially if it's not the healthiest food, that way I know what I have to burn off.

Q: What do you think about the problem of obesity in America? What would you say is the solution to this?
JK: It's heartbreaking and for me a physical manifestation of the unhappiness spread deep in so many Americans hearts. I don't really know how to fix the underlying problem. But I believe the first solution that should be mandated is healthier fast-food joints, no joke!

Q: Your ideal breakfast is...
JK: My Ideal is oatmeal, raisins, and smoked salmon.My favorite is McDonalds breakfast, sorry.

Q: Could you become a vegetarian?
JK: If we run out if cows and chickens of course. I need to study the health benefits though because I wouldn't mind being healthier and saving some animals in the process

Q: Name 3 things that can seduce you?
JK: Long hair, intent, a kiss

Q: How taken are you?
JK: I was taken and I was taken advantage of.

Q: What is your greatest fear?
JK: Roller coasters

Q: What is next for you, Josh?
JK: As far as modeling campaigns look out for Christian Lacroix, Impetus underwear, L'Bel, Velez. And I'll leave everything else for surprise!

NICK AYLER: SO HOT , SO SEXY, SO STRAIGHT!

2011-08-29T17:43:00.000+02:00


This picture for DNA Magazine (Aus) makes Nick Ayler famous ... one can easily understands why! (click on image to expand)

Hey Girls! (If there is any reading my blog. ha ha!) you are lucky Nick Ayler declared in an interview that he poses for Gay Mags like DNA, he has a very open mind but he is definitively straight. But he doesn't care if boys hit him, he is okay with that...


Another picture of him for DNA (click on image to expand)


Another shot for DNA magazine (click on image to expand)

Nick Ayler, born in 1987, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, is an American model.
Growing up, Ayler had moved 18 different times during high school, middle school, and grade school, so he had never had the time to take a serious effort and put it towards his dream of one day being a model.

Nick Ayler by Rick Day (click on image to expand)

In 2008, Ayler, was finally ready. He has done campaigns for "Abercrombie & Fitch", "TYORI menswear", "Apple", as well as gracing the pages of numerous magazines including "DNA", "Mens Exercise", and "Bello", just to name a few. He's also made appearances in movies such as "Holy Rollers" and "Fighting", and TV shows such as "Army Wives" and "Mercy".

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Aside from modeling, Ayler's other passion is music. He's been a deejay since he was 14, having traveled up and down the east coast displaying some of his mixing, MC, and crowd controlling abilities. He's a fluent dancer in jazz, hip-hop, tap and a 7-year veteran drummer -- so keeping a beat to any type of music, is what he does.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Some characteristics he would use to describe himself: punctual, determined, ambitious, out-going, and open-minded.

Here an interview with this young hottie, exclusive for THE MALE COUPLE

Even when you are straight is good that you say yes to this interview for THE MALE COUPLE and show people tolerance and no discrimination, after all you have a lot of gay fans and followers.
I feel as if every interview should be just as important as the next. Whether it is CNN, NBC, or for a newspaper, an interview is an interview that lets ones fans see a different side of them. A side of them that is much more personable. No one can legitimately say they know someone because of their photos only. Looks are only skin deep, its’s inside that counts and that is why I love modeling. Modeling will get you to a certain point because of your looks, but it’s your personality that will take you above and beyond.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Have you ever heard that comment from people very often, do you like to hear that and how do you feel when people even men appreciate your beauty?
I tend to hear it quite a bit. But it nothing grabs my attention like a confident girl, who knows what she wants. A girl who is able to come up and talk to you and say hello, a girl to let you know she is interested and not shy. It’s not always the guy’s responsibility to make the first move. We live in a society that tends to change by the month. As for guys trying to hit on me, I respect everyone and anyone, no matter whom they are. However, RESPECT is a big word, and I am as straight as they come. So with that being said, a wife is something in mind in the future, after I have become established in my career of course.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Do you consider very open mind like to pose for a gay magazine like other models or celebrities like David Beckham?
I believe posing for any magazine, whether it is gay or straight is exposure. Exposure is always needed for promotion and marketing. That’s how people become well known throughout the industry; there are Gay, Strait, & Bi industry professionals that sit at some of the most respected jobs in today’s entertainment world. Orientation, ethnicity, whatever the case may be, Exposure is exposure. To say one does not like a magazine because it is gay oriented, or black oriented, is completely judgmental. People will look at a magazine because they tend to either like the style or the people in the magazine.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Would you pose naked for a magazine, did you have offers like that or have you ever consider making it?
I would pose nude if it was done tastefully and no frontal nudity. I don’t believe its something that is "essential" for ones look book, portfolio, or anything else along those lines to benefit someone. It’s not something I would be interested in doing, but I have thought about it with many offers from various people.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Why did you decide to be a model? Did people tell you that you should be?
I was approached by a retired photographer while I was working one evening. I thought about it for a few nights than took him up on the offer and everything had happened from there on out

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Did you consider another profession before to try in the model industry?
I was initially going to school for criminal justice, Than after switching my major to Business Management, & Hospitality Management, I realized what truly made me happy and meeting new people, making everything out of nothing, going above and beyond of others expectations, and being productive.

Nick Ayler, American model (click on image to expand)

Hey Nick, if you ever need a place to stay in L.A. just give me a call. I don’t actually live there, but I would easily move there to build our relationshiop and get us set up together in a great pad on Venice Beach. One bedroom of course, it just makes sense. Your girlfriend can sleep in the doghouse out back OK? She’ll love what the fresh air will do for her skin I think. I’ll feed you tea and oranges as we listen to The Doors on the front balcony overlooking the beach, and I’ll feed her some fuzzy blue toast and week-old cheese curds with a busted police radio to keep her occupied. Everybody wins!

Brazilian models are becoming more and more popular and they are dominating the World Fashion Scene.
Francisco Lachowski, Evandro Soldati, Athur Sales are among the most famous, but one is really an awesome guy, handsome like his other Brazilian models, but he is probably the most gentle and friendly one.

Still very young, as he was born on September 16, 1991 he is now only 19, but when you listen the guy , in interview or you check what he is doing for his job you find out how humble, genuine and gentle is this guy! (You can check it at the end of this post by viewing Marlon recent interview.)

Back in America he made an editorial for W Magazine with Steven Klein published in June 2009. he had as partners Genni Goodwin and the Italian male model Michele Graglia.

Listen what he said about this editorial :

"Recently for the first time I posed for the lens of photographer Steven Klein, for an editorial for W magazine and in this essy I was the boyfriend of the actress Genni Goodwin. It was cool working with Steven. There was another model (Michele Graglia) with us too and we did very sensual shootings (also we had to kiss each other). At the beginning I felt real strange about the situation, but then I just let it go, cause what it really matters was the team of very talented professionals working together."

Their publication on internet raised a buzz in Brazil about the sexual orientation of Marlon! But when you read the comments it appears that Brazilian are still very machos, and they were more concerned about the “passive” attitude displayed by Teixeira on the pictures than the gay orientation they could suggest.

But definitively Marlon, even at the young age of 19 seems not giving too much attention to the gossip.

A RECENT INTERVIEW OF MARLON TEIXEIRA

I would like to confirm what I said previously this guy is really genuine and sweet and so kind. An Italian interviewer who attend the promo campaign for Fuel For Life By Diesel in Milan just reports how he fells after meeting the hot Brazilian Model/

"I had the opportunity to meet him and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. At first it seems just a little boy with little experience and a global view rather naive. Actually it is a mature guy, maybe the world of fashion in this helped him a lot, making it grow rapidly.
Humble, smiling and with that a little 'cheeky one who knows how to be a sex symbol, but does not want to get worked up: that's what we discovered the beautiful Brazilian model."

Marlon is now the best friend of Francisco Lachowski.... And I will conclude the post with this nice picture of two gorgeous Brazilian models who raising fast to be soon on the top of the list of the world male models! Good luck Marlon!

Marlon Teixeira and his good friend Francisco Lachowski.

To my friend Skats : I hope you have enjoyed this post I have tried to find different pictures of Marlon, even if some are already famous... take care my friend ㋡

In this post I reproduce the most suggestive pictures of Francisco as well as the movie.
THis is an opportunity to see that the model is becoming more mature, even if he still a very youngish style, and his attitude is more and more sexy , then attractive.

And now let's have a look at this footage from the movie of Luca Finotti, it is again an opportunity to see how Francisco has grown up and his sex-appeal is now more the one of a men than a teenager, which is somehow natural, as the young man turned 20 on May 13th, 2011.

Fill me with your poison

It's supernatural

Extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign

You're so super sonic
wanna feel your powers, stumb me with your lasers
your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic

There is this transcendental, on another level
boy, you're my lucky star
i wanna walk on your wave length
and be there when you vibrate
for you i risk it all

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil
Could you be an angel

take me, t-t-take me
wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
boy, you're an alien, your touch so far away
its supernatural, extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien, your touch so far away
its supernatural, extraterrestrial

Men for a great friend!: (for Skats)

2011-06-27T18:20:00.003+02:00

I would like to dedicate these pictures of men to a great friend of mine: my sweet Skats.
I hope he (and you) will enjoy the pics and the quotes!
Friendship is such a great thing!

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.

If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.

If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow.

If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.

But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

A friend knows the song in my heart

and sings it to me

when my memory fails.

There are big ships and small ships.

But the best ship of all is friendship.

Friends are kisses

blown to us

by angels.

A true friend

reaches for your hand

and touches your heart.

A friend accepts us

as we are

yet helps us to be

what we should.

Hold a true friend

with both your hands.

A friend is

one of the nicest things you can have,

and

one of the best things you can be.

We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.

Ah, how good it feels!

The hand of an old friend.

Shared joy is a double joy;

shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

I felt it shelter

to speak to you.

A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives

with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in

a better and happier place.

I believe in angels,

The kind that heaven sends,

I am surrounded by angels,

But I call them friends.

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you,

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own,

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea,

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain,

Or catch a rainbow fair,

But let me be what I know best,

A friend who's always there

Among life's precious jewels,

Genuine and rare,

The one that we call friendship

Has worth beyond compare.

To my Friend SKATS

Cause I maybe bad: S&M Rihanna

I had a crush for the song S&M and Rihanna ! The tune stay in my mind for few days... till I decide to make a video using the song as the soundtrack. I'm not so into S&M, but as I mention in the title : Cause I maybe be bad ...sometime! So let's go for it for the time of a song...

THE VIDEO

Cause I maybe bad - S&M par Sloane2

I used footages from the clips of "Teeth" by Lady Gaga from The Haus of Gaga and "Express Yourself" by Madonna, which I found both matching the intense and kinky atmosphere of the Rihanna song. But as said previously I refrain myself of going too far in the S&M attitude, so let's be honest it's a soft approach of S&M.....this is just to share a mood with you.

Xersex, is the user name of a very good friend of mine on this blog. I always appreciate his comments... and he his an expert (smile) in men beauty. He just mentioned that he likes very much a famous Brazilian model: Bernardo Velasco. For my friend I have collected these pictures of the model, maybe he knows most of them , but I have to admit that this Brazilian boy is particularly handsome and sexy.

So I invite you to spend few minutes to admire this gorgeous guy.

In addition I have found an interview of Bernardo . For sure the interview of models are not so exciting, but it helps a lot to draw a personality on these beautiful body and face.

A particularity of Bernardo Velasco is that it's quite easy to find smiling pictures of him... which is not so common for a fashion model.

Now let's enjoy!

MEN & BOYS BANDS: HOT ASIANS!

2011-04-11T12:01:00.003+02:00

Let's go East.... Today I introduce a collection of Asian boys and hunks, to illustrate a video on a Korean Boys Band : Super Junior.

Click on the picture for original size.

THE VIDEO: BONAMANA by SUPER JUNIOR

Super Junior (Korean: 슈퍼주니어), often referred to as SJ or SuJu (수주), is a popular boy band from South Korea formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2005. The group debuted with 13 members: Leeteuk (Leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong,Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum and Kyuhyun; they are one of the largest boy bands in the world. As of 2010, 10 members are active, due to Han Geng's lawsuit with SM Entertainment, Kangin's leave of absence for mandatory military service and Kibum's pursuit of an acting career. However, the other members have insisted that the three are still part of the group. SM Entertainment have yet to release statements regarding their official status with the group.

The 13 members of the Korean Boys Ban SUPER JUNIOR

Super Junior has released and contributed in 20 different kinds of records with varying degrees of success. Over the years, they have been divided into smaller sub groups, simultaneously targeting different music industries and audiences. Largely due to Super Junior's success as entertainers, other Korean entertainment managements began to train their music groups in other areas of entertainment, such as acting and hosting. In addition to their commercial success, Super Junior has earned seven music awards from the M.net Asian Music Awards, eleven from the Golden Disk Awards, and is the second singing group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards after JTL in 2003.
