You state you don't eat fast food or watch TV.....how do you survive?
Well I cheat ~ Netflix (which is basically TV) and power bars (which is almost candy)
Have you always lived in Boston?
I grew up on a blueberry farm in NH with my parents and two siblings. I moved to Boston two years ago for school.
Now that you live there are you required to also listen and like the band Boston?
I can't say that I do; However, I do enjoy a couple lesser-known Boston bands: The Dresden dolls and Victory At Sea.
You are a premed student, a clinical psychology major and hope to someday be an oncologist. I'm always convinced that I have cancer and a friend of mind is convinced that he has syphilis...what does that say about us?
Well, clearly, you are both very very ill. *smile
What is your view on assisted suicide for patients that want to go peacefully?
In principle I feel that one's life should always be in their own hands. Therefore, if a patient would like to end their suffering and their life I support that. However, it is against the Hippocratic oath for a physician to carry out that request. Physicians our bound by a code of ethics, and I feel it imperative that that code be maintained.
We run a site that's main focus are hot guys. What would Freud say about us?
He would have said that your father was a sissy-boy, but since modern psychology says Freud was a quack, I wouldn't take it to heart. (Unless, its true *smile)
Do you have any secret single behavior? Something that you always do alone, but you wouldn't really brag to people about it. Mine is eating ice cream in bed.
I watch Queer As Folk while I run on the treadmill.
What is your favorite thing to bake?
Birthday Cake - (always better and more fun than any other type of cake)
When was the last time that you got totally wasted?
Well there is just plain wasted, and there is inappropriately inexplicably wasted. That was on the 4th of July, (but hey it was a holiday in the middle of the week . . .)

Have you always lived in Austin?
No, I am originally from Boerne, a really small town in the hills outside of San Antonio and Austin. I spent most of my time in Austin growing up; however, I have been living in El Paso for the past three years before moving back out here a couple of months ago.
How would you describe Austin to someone who has never been to Texas?
Austin is a rather liberal, young, hip town where it seems everyone wants to be these days. The city is quite beautiful as are the people. It is known as the live music capital of the world due to the overwhelming amount of live music venues per capita (more than New York or Los Angeles) and our 'Austin City Limits' and 'South By Southwest' music festivals. Many people come to town for the nightlife on 6th street. I try to avoid that mess and tend to stick to 4th and 5th. If you enjoy the outdoors you'll love it here. I have yet to find someone that doesn't.
What do you think is the best part of Austin?
Hard to say what the best part of Austin is with more than three hundred days of sunshine, beautiful hills, lakes, creeks, parks, hiking and biking trails. I would have to say the outdoors. I am always outside and so is everyone else. We are all pretty active from running the trails around Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake), to kayaking, to biking the hills on 360 or taking a dip in Barton Creek in the greenbelt it is hard not to want to be outdoors.
You study Geography has that always been an interest?
I have always been interested in geography, I just didn't consider studying it until recently. For the past four years or so I have been a studio art major in ceramics. I came to realize that, although I love creating beautiful artwork, I am more interested in focusing my life's work on helping to make an impact on a larger part of society. Right now I am involved in resource and environmental studies as part of urban and regional planning.
You can only watch one of these shows this season. Which show has your loyalty Ugly Betty or Lost?
Ha...well that's a tough one...both great shows and so different. I'm going to have to go with lost though. I have been watching the show since the beginning and I just can't get enough.
What do you think is your best feature? Your worst?
I am often told my eyes are my best feature. I don't really pay much attention to any of that though. I would have to say my best attribute would be my heart and my worst quality...I am overly cautious.
Lily Allen or Kate Nash? Or do they share a voice?
Ha-Ha. I Love Lily, but Kate does have that remarkable ditty 'Dickhead'.
What do you look for in a guy?
Heart, intelligence, humor...I'm not interested in anything real specific. It is the connection between us that really gets me. Sometimes they have it...other times they don't...really sucks when they're cute as Hell.
Tell us about the last date you went on?
Interesting...a guy I had met the day before called me up and said 'hey I've got these tickets to the flaming lips'...we went and waited forever in a line wrapped twice around the block...only to have them turn us away in the end as the venue was filled to capacity. Fun way to get to know somebody though. We went to have some drinks and then dinner. It turned out nice.
Just for kicks what were you wearing when you answered these questions?
I never wear anything when I'm at home.
The other day MySpace featured this band on their main page. I checked them out and besides the fact that the band has pictures of themselves in their underwear, their music is awesome!
Check out their MySpace Page and the Band's Site.
I caught a glance of Ben Sharkey on the homepage of YouTube yesterday and my "cute guy autopilot" kicked in and I found myself watching a bunch of his YouTube clips. Ben is a Michigan 3D artist who comes off as pretty shy when he's working without a script or soundtrack -- but absolutely sparkles once the tunes are rolling.
He has a few original songs up, but also tends to love covering songs from classic and popular crooners -- from Frank Sinatra to Michael Buble. Check out another tune and a cute clip of him showing off his moves after the jump.

I was transfixed during the premiere of Pushing Daisies last night -- the show is just awesome. It was created by Bryan Fuller, who also co-created the series Wonderfalls -- where we were introduced to today's featured man.
Lee Pace plays Ned, a man who discovers as a child a most unusual gift... he can bring the dead back to life with a single touch! But there are unavoidable caveats in place (such as how touching that revived person or thing again will return them - permanently - to rest.) As you can imagine, this causes a wrinkle when he revives his sweetheart with whom he shared his first kiss.
We're heading off to sunny Puerto Vallarta for a week -- but never fear! We have some articles already written and in the hopper for you, to be magically posted each weekday while we're gone. Just because we need a vacation doesn't mean you don't get your fix of the boys!
While we are soaking up the rays (and hopefully getting photos of the cute cabana boys!) we'll have a helpful volunteer watchdog keeping an eye on things back home. (As well as a good friend camping out and feeding our fish.)
We'll be back, refreshed (and possibly a little hung over) on Friday the 12th -- though you probably won't even notice that we were gone. =)

There are tons of different words to describe guys. They can be hot, cute, sexy, adorable etc. Andrew can look adorable in one picture and down right sexy in another. Pretty impressive! Now you can learn just a little bit more about this cutie.

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. My Mom lives in San Mateo, about a half hour south of San Francisco, and my dad lives a litter farther away in Sonoma, up in the wine country.
So you grew up there and moved to upstate New York for school at Cornell?
Yeah. It was a bit of a culture/climate shock. The extent of which I'm only beginning to understand.
You are studying architecture. Have you always been interested in that?
In some form or other yeah, since kindergarten.
Do you think that it is important for those interested in architecture to travel the world?
Absolutely. So much of architecture is the pure physical experience of a space, and no amount of words, photographs, plans, and videos can ever fully encompass that. I've been to Canada, Japan, France and England. Japanese architecture by far is my favorite. I've always had a love affair with the Japanese aesthetics.
You consider yourself a linguophile. What is your FAVORITE word?
Oh god - that's a good question. Omphaloskepsis is definitely up there: "The contemplation of one's navel as an aid to meditation".
I really love language - and it's a real turn on to listen to someone speak eloquently. Not that I advocate for the everyday use of words like "omphaloskepsis" -- It is hard to slip that into a conversation without sounding like an asshole -- but someone correctly using appropriate and ever-so-slightly esoteric words really excites me.
I signed up to participate in Blog Action Day because (like their website says) I think that blogs of all genres have something to say about climate change and that Hunk du Jour can take some moments outside of our normal genre to help inform. (They didn't seem to agree, though, as we never showed up on the acknowledged participant list.)
We're putting aside our distaste for being disregarded, though, and will be donating our ad revenues from today (a minimum $100) to The Nature Conservancy. I encourage you to visit the Blog Action Day site, as well as other participating sites.
Our buddy jakesboy over at The Big Bad Blog is singing from the rooftops right now... the Ben Cohen 2008 Calendar has been revealed. That hairy chest that sets jakesboy's heart all a-flutter can hang in your home or office next year!
We heart jakesboy and his big bad blog, so go check out the rest of the photos!
I was delighted to get an e-mail from one of Dylan Rosser's models we featured last month, Zach Burns. He wanted to let everyone know that he has a blog of his own, and was even nice enough to share eleven photos from recent photo shoots. Such a sweetheart, check out the rest after the jump!

I got a lovely note tonight from a fellow associated with DC Strokes. The DC Strokes Rowing Club is stoking the fire again in what is already a hot calendar season. They've just launched a 2008-2009 fundraising calendar (yours for $20 on their website) featuring the photography of William Waybourn.
I love calendar season (always seems to get kicked off by the Dieux du Stade rugby calendar) but just wish that I had more walls to hang them on!
Improv Everywhere first got onto my radar when they had an army of "Agents" dress in khaki pants and blue polo shirts browse around a Best Buy store.
This time they are at it again, in this task they bring a group of over one hundred shirtless men into a New York City Abercrombie & Fitch store to browse and shop. After under 20 minutes of being in the store, they were shown the door.
The "agents" for this task ranged from the extremely hot to the not-so-hot, but I thought it was a riot how they poked fun at Abercrombie. So why does the model get to parade around shirtless, when normal guys aren't allowed to?

Oh. My. God. Is it Thursday yet? We got a wicked glimpse at what lies beneath the adorkable accountant Henry's suit during the preview for next week's episode of Ugly Betty. Christopher Gorham has been keeping in shape over the summer!

aussieBum continues their quest of spreading their fantastic underwear and swimwear all over the world via their AUSBUM TV project. The series (posted regularly at AUSBUM.TV, as well as via podcast) generally shows some of the behind-the-scenes adventures and hijinks of their shoots in the Australian wilderness.
The scenery is as beautiful as the men they feature -- and makes me want to schedule a trip. Do you think they'd let me tag along for a shoot or two??
Check out episodes two through four after the jump, as well as a bonus behind-the-scenes clip from Steph & Alek over at Oh La La Paris -- they've recently shot for aussieBum too!

What are you wearing as you answer these questions...don't lie!
Ha-ha, just a pair of boxers. It's warm and sunny today!
Which of the following celebrities is most likely to get their act together and still be in the public eye in five years?
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Britney Spears
Amy Winehouse
Unfortunately, I think Britney is over. I was just watching some old music videos of her, and it's sad to think how much she's changed (and not for the better). She'll still be around, going to Starbucks and Taco Bell, but I don't think she'll ever fully recover. Not that I won't buy her new album - just out of curiosity! I'm going with a personal favorite on this one: Lindsay Lohan. Because no matter how messed up she is, she has real acting talent. I hope she's working in five years, making movies more like "Mean Girls" and less like "Just My Luck."

Today Bravo TV announced that the incredibly sexy Tyson Beckford will be co-host of a new show titled Make Me A Supermodel. Premiering next year, the show will feature both male and female contestants vying for a $100,000 prize and a launch of their modeling career. Who wins will be at the hands of America, with viewer votes determining who will go home.

Congrats for the shout-out on Oh La La Paris today, Sonny! Of course they'd love you as much as we do!
We just got the hot new issue of Australian import DNA Magazine in the mail, and we're delighted to see the work of Troy Phillips and Akimitsu Sadoi on the cover. They are the photography team who got these fantastic shots of covermodel Patrick -- who is absolutely tantalizing in those 2xist briefs.
I always look forward to this time of the month!

What do you know... we post another great shot of Ryan Diesel by Sonny Tong and he appears again in our e-mail! Ryan just sent over a behind-the-scenes still from his recent shoot with the amazing David LaChapelle.
Thanks for the photo, Ryan -- what an exciting project! I can wait to see the end result!
Dante's Inferno (one of my guilty pleasures) is back for Season 3 -- and the cast now includes former Amazing Race contestant and current jewelry-pusher, Reichen Lehmkuhl. The cast is just as hot as before -- the only problem is finding the here! channel on my cable box! It still isn't carried in my neighborhood, so I guess I'll wait for the DVDs to come out to catch up.
Or maybe I should start reading the recaps at AfterElton.com:
Previously, on Dante's Cove -- A lot's happened since we last visited Dante's Cove, the tropical enclave you won't find on any map. Dante's Cove inhabitants are as gay as they are beautiful: Everyone is ripped and coiffed and shirtless. In fact, the official tourism slogan is "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem!" Dante's Cove's largest export product is cheese. Lots and lots of cheese. Its largest import product is body oil.
Check out the sexy Adam Levine in the new Maroon 5 video for the song Wake Up Call. I've been a fan of the song ever since I bought the album this summer, and the video (directed by Jonas Akerlund) has a fantastic action-movie quality that suits the song well.

Colombian musician Juanes got the attention of even more of the world this week with an announcement that there had been 6 million pre-launch online sales of his latest album, "La Vida es un Ratico" ("Life is Just a Moment") -- possibly a record number!
Juanes has been getting more and more attention worldwide these days, and his music has a lot of crossover appeal -- even though he refuses to record English translations of his songs. One of his remarks about this is that Spanish-speaking people have been listening to English music for years, often not understanding the lyrics but still enjoying the music. I know I'm liking what I hear, and will have to check out the new album very soon!
Juanes also got my attention earlier this month while in Puerto Vallarta, smoldering on the copy of People en Espanol that we picked up in the lobby. I can't really understand what the cover says, but I think it is about his reconciliation with his wife (whom he also has two daughters with.)
The latest issue of Fashion156 has gone online... this innovative online fashion magazine publishes new issues online every 12 days! This issue is all about knitwear -- Doug has been interested in taking up knitting... maybe he'll get some amazing ideas from the knitwear of some of these designers!
