Favorite Pic of the Day for June 23rd

Spectator Sport


Last week, I posted about Nudes-A Poppin, the long running nude beauty pageants. (HERE:)  As with most showcases, featuring people totally naked, there are also plenty of spying and salacious spectators.  At Nudes-A-Poppin however, many of the spectators are naked as well.


During the earlier post, I focused mostly on the contestants on the stage, but there were also some naked hotties who chose to just watch.  Although they didn't strut across the stage, some got just as much as attention as those in the contest.   I saved these images of this blue eyed hottie to feature on Father's day, but I had so many hot daddies I didn't have room.  Couldn't let them however, just go to waste! 


This meaty stud muffin wasn't just causing thirst, he seem pretty thirsty himself.  In almost every image I found of him he had one beverage or another in his hand.  Adding to his hotness is how relaxed he seems just walking around the event, often being the only nude one in frame.  He seems aware of how many sets of eyes are on him, and doesn't seem bothered in the least.   I sadly couldn't find a rear shot, but I'll keep looking!

Pelé: The King


'I was born for soccer, just as Beethoven was born for music.'

Pelé & Franz Beckenbauer 

Last week, when I featured soccer stud, and Playgirl model Allan Rizzo, (HERE:) I mentioned I was inspired to post about soccer memories given the World Cup is currently on in Canada, the US and Mexico.  You can't really discuss soccer history without mentioning Pelé.


Pelé: (Edson Arantes do Nascimento) was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, he was among the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century. 


Pelé was given the nickname O Rei (Portuguese for The King)  by the French magazine Paris Match following his breakout performance at the 1958 World Cup.  As you can see from the shots below, we saw a lot of Pelé, nude, and with other nude players over the course of the career.  One of the most famous nude of Pelé was a 1977 locker room shot along with fellow player and friend Franz Beckenbauer.

A Hesitant Hop...

I enjoy reality TV as much as the next guy.  I watch Survivor and Below Deck, and used to really get into Big Brother, American Idol and The Voice in their first few seasons.  I don't however, like reality shows based in love and romance.  Although I'll dip into almost any show for an episode or two if there's a hot guy, or nude model being painted, but romance and reality just don't go together for me,

Like so many of you however, I have noticed all the social media posts about the guys on season eight of Love Island.  I've watched a few episodes of Love Island before, but this 5 or 6 episodes a week stuff is just too much for me.  Who can commit to so many episodes, especially with so much of it just flashback and filler.  Still, although I'm not jumping on the bandwagon, I did have to take a 'hesitant hop' and checked out the first episode last night.

All the guys on the first episode were hot, with Sean being my initial favorite.  Most of the fuss is about Zach and Bryce, and if either or both are gay.  I didn't really see any signs last night, although most guys on reality ping my gaydar at one point or another.  It was only the first episode however, so I know most of what  people are seeing occurred in subsequent shows.

I did recognize Bryce however, from some images I had saved previously.  I've been following his modeling career for awhile and had been planning a post prior to this season's Love Island beginning.  From the little I saw, his comfort around other men, both gay and straight, may in part stem from his modeling career.   

Men in the modeling industry can't be shy, around either women or other men.  There's little time for shyness when a quick change is required and Bryce has also worked with Calvin Klein, and been a part of underwear campaigns.  When modeling underwear, your junk is in focus and is heavily securitized by many sets of eyes before an image is approved for release.  

As far as Zach goes, who knows, given he loves comics, and works in the health  care profession, he could be gay, but the bromance might just be for the cameras, with the audience being punked.  Time will tell, I may try another episode on the weekend, but until we have some confirmation, I saw the producers are doing a great job of selling a story for ratings.  Certainly led me to check it out.
