Man Candy Monday

The month of May continues to heat up as we travel south. All the way down to the sultry continent of South America. Brazil brings us many things, like the Bossa Nova, Soccer, miles of beautiful beaches and heavily bodies.

Speaking of heavenly bodies, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present Edilson Nascimento.

I don't know about you, but I also heard that Brazilian's are not afraid of showing off their bodies in any form of nudity. Proud of their physiques, they willingly share with all of us and thank God Edilson loves to share.

Of course, this 25 year old boxer and black belt in judo seems to be comfortable out of clothes more than in but he looks just as yummy either way.

Edilson has been modeling since the age of 16 when he was discovered by Elian Gallardo who owns a  modeling agency. There were so many images of the hot Brazilian that I had a hard time choosing but I definitely had fun looking!

Man Candy Monday

I love it when I read something that inspires me. Today's Man Candy Monday is brought to you courtesy of my muse for today's blog, Silent Partner by author, Renee Vincent's.

Those of you who hit my blog last Friday will know why I picked gorgeous man for today. If you missed my Friday 56 you can go here and read my review of 'Silent Partner'.

When I first read the description of Vincent's character, Grayson Anders, I immediately thought of actor, model and dancer Gilles Marini.

Once you've read the book, you will see why I chose Gilles. Just looking at his videos from Dancing with the Stars made him an immediate contender.

You only need watch him dance the Argentine Tango with dancer Cheryl Burke to see how fluid and sensual his moves are, yet he is completely in command of the dance.

The passion and concentration on his face shows how fully engaged he is in the dance. Bellisimo!

Excerpt from - Silent Partner - Renee Vincent

'The dark complexion of his bare back and limbs was a striking contrast to the soft yellow Egyptian cotton sheets tangled around his lower half.'

I first saw Gilles in all his glory in the role of Dante in the movie Sex in the City where he wore practically nothing, which was fine by me.

The shower scene in SITC alone is worth picking up this movie. Mmm if only you knew what is below this picture frame...yummy just like the man himself!

There is a still shot of that nude shower scene... but you won't see it on this blog!

Gilles spent two years in the French army (Viva La France!) and was a fireman for the Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris.You can currently watch Gilles on ABC's Brothers and Sisters, Sunday nights at 10 PM est.

If you happen to spend some time in southern California, then hop over to La Vida. Marini happens to be partner in this thriving Hollywood restaurant.

Here are some stats:
Born: January 26, 1976
Age: 35
Eyes: Light brow (almost a whiskey color)
Height: 6'1"
Status: Sorry girls he is very happily married with two kids!

Gilles has a soulful sexiness and it is easy to see why Gilles is a perfect choice for Man Candy Monday.

In fact, he is a perfect choice for a writer's muse.

I'll have to get right on that...as soon as I am done ogling Marini.










I think I will just let you all drool over this feast for the eyes.
Keep on traveling down my blog for your viewing pleasure.

Man Candy Monday

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.

More Bell Soto videos featuring Lane and Nina Simone here.

Photographer, 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!

Photo: Richard Phibbs, Lane back - Mmm yummy!

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:

Born: December 24, 1978 (what a lovely Christmas eve that must have been!) Lane was born 6 minutes before baby brother Kyle.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175
Age: 32

I am absolutely impressed with the amount of time and commitment it takes to run a charitable foundation. 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.

And just in case you were wondering if he was truly talented, take a look at the rehearsal for 'One'.

Yes, that is Clynes, dancing and singing and doing a really good job of one of my favorite Broadway show tunes.

Enjoy! I know I will :-)
