Everybody loves twins. I certainly do. My mom was a twin. And who could forget the doublemint twins?
But I digress. Getting back to the matter at hand.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, Half of a whole - Lane Carlson.
I would be remiss if I didn't present his equally gorgeous twin, Kyle Carlson. Kyle has turned to
general contracting and has been featured on
HGTV and
OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).
I think I am going to need some house work done soon...
But getting back to Lane, who is on the modeling scene more than Kyle.
I love that the boys have this all American look. In fact, Lane reminds me of one of my favorite and equally hot country stars,
Keith Urban.
Hmm, I smell a future Man Candy!
Out of all the pictures I pulled for Lane, I fell in love with photographer
Bell Soto's photo and video shorts.
The sultry, smoking voice of chanteuse
Nina Simone, lulls you into the simplicity and beauty of the video.

Richard Phibbs gives us a lovely front and back view of Carlson. Not the first time either twin has appeared nude or semi-nude.
These photos give new meaning to the men's locker room, definitely a feast for the eyes!
Lane is not just a pretty face. He is also an advocate, humanitarian, and philanthropist.
Carlson is the current executive director of New York based
Sunflower Children's fund.org,which focuses on neglected and at risk children.
Lane's advocacy took him to Cambodia where he spent 9 months working on major projects close to his heart.
Sunflower partnered with
NGO for a project called MANGA children at risk. Sunflower oversees a pediatric clinic for the malnourished and a clinic for children who have HIV/AIDS.
The projects are:
The House of Hope Phnom Penh Orphanage for HIV positive orphans,
The Hope for a Better future which is a school for HIV positive children and children orphaned by AIDS and Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission or
PMTCT which provides pre/post-natal care currently to 200 HIV positive mothers.
Here are the stats:

It would be easy for Carlson to simply write a check for charity. Instead, he has fully immersed himself in the projects.
Lane states,
"I grew up in a small town in Minnesota,and it was ingrained in my soul to work hard and get your hands dirty, and treat others how you would want to be treated. It means so much to me to take a hands-on approach, rather than throw money at a problem." - From David Rosenberg's article - '
Beneath the Surface'
And we love that Lane has a passion for life, love and the desire to inspire and bring hope to others.
Please enjoy, I know I did!
PS, here are more pictures of Kyle and the twins!
