If you don't watch Tom Baxter's video for Better and fall in love, then there is probably something wrong with you. The video is one of my most favorite in a long time.

Yes, Tom Baxter is adorable. And yes, we only post pictures of hot guys -- but this video reminds us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love the fact that this video includes people of all shapes, sizes, color and sexual orientation. I think I may love Tom...just a little bit....okay a ton.

We have all been in love so badly that you are not sure how you can make it through it. This song and the cute Roy Stride pull that feeling off with Scouting for Girls' catchy tune - "She's So Lovely".

I could list all of the Jay Brannan songs that I love, but I would run out of room. If you don't know Mr. Brannan, at least check out the song "I Wanna Be A Housewife". That is probably my current favorite.

First off, I love-love-love Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies, and SuperHeroFan.net. I love Lee so much, I wish I'd gone up to propose when we saw him at the Pushing Daisies Paley Center event this year. (Alas -- I was turning into a pumpkin and my proposal would have been awkward with Doug right there with us.)

Pushing Daisies finally returned yesterday evening -- special bonus? Rooftop bee-saving with Chuck... shirtless?!?

You definitely have to check out the full set at SuperHeroFan.net!

Greetings, Hunk lovers!

I'm proud to announce that just moments ago we released the next version of our fantastic Hunk of the Day application for Facebook users.

In addition to seeing our featured hunk on the "Boxes" tab of your profile, you can now vote for favorite nominee right from the application! You also have a handy link back to the nominee's original post on Hunk du Jour where they were originally featured -- so you can see all the photos from that particular set.

We're super excited about the changes, and are eager to add more features (feed notifications of your votes, share with a friend buttons, etc.) as my time allows. Let us know what you'd like to see in the comments!

Good evening, humble hunk-lovers! Thanks to Aaron for pointing out what I missed this morning... the Hunk of the Day didn't appear!! Somehow in putting the finishing touches on our fancy new Facebook Application I managed not only to kill... but smash the auto-posting application into teeny tiny bits.

I have done a hasty rewrite, but I think we're in good shape again. (We'll know for sure in two hours when TOMORROW's hunk gets posted.)

Since we're talking about stuff behind the curtain - I'll also just say again that I truly appreciate everyone who reads, comments, sends e-mail, and shares us with their friends.

Thank-you so much for reading (and everything else!)

Zach Burns has been a busy man, and we were delighted to see these new photos he just sent over of reFRESH cover model Alex Prinz.

While Zach is still modeling (he just appeared in a 6-page fashion spread for SuperSuper #13), these fantastic shots of Alex show that he is really honing his photography chops.

Check out some of Zach Burns the model on Hunk du Jour, and more of his great photography on his blog.

I love reading Matthew Rettenmund's blog, Boy Culture. Matthew has to have the happiest, gayest scanner in the world with all of the great editorial spreads he features!

Yesterday he had his sights on the James Franco cover article in Out Magazine featuring photos by Doug Inglish. James is currently promoting his latest project, the Gus Van Sant film Milk.

Check out all of the scans over at Boy Culture.

Pretty on the Outside joins the blog community in support of the No on Prop 8 campaign with this touching (and totally fake) portrait of Hugh Jackman and Robert Buckley.

Hunk du Jour isn't exactly a political voice in the blogosphere, but the stripping away of rights for gay Californians (including some of my personal friends) is something that should not be tolerated. Recent polls show that if the election were held today, Proposition 8 would pass by a 6-point margin and eliminate the right to marry for same-sex couples in California.

There has been a huge fundraising push by folks looking to kill the progress that has been made in California towards equality, and the conservative voices are now outspending the voices of equality.

I urge you to give what you can to the No On Prop 8 campaign. Please donate today. We're also donating ad space on Hunk du Jour to the campaign from now through election day.

We're proud to once again participate in Blog Action Day -- a day where once a year the blogosphere unites to raise awareness about a pressing issue of our time.

Please join me in supporting The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. We have made a personal contribution of $100, but urge you to give as much or as little as you can.

We're looking to raise at least $500 for the organization, and one or two angel donors would be all it takes.

Click here to donate. Thank-you!

With few weeks remaining in the year (and Christmas gift ideas squirming into our minds) let's cast our gaze to one of the things we can look forward to every year... guy pin-up calendar season!

Kicking off our coverage this year is the DC Cowboys WET 2009 Calendar. Shot on location on the nude beaches of St. Maarten, the cowboys are donating 50% of proceeds to the Paul Malerba Foundation, a memorial fund that contributes to HIV/AIDS non-profits. The $20 calendar also ships with a free "Making Of" DVD.

The DC Cowboys also appeared earlier this year in the Top 40 of America's Got Talent in the show's third season. The group does community work, holds performances, and (in case you want in on next year's photo shoot) is auditioning in early November.

The DC Cowboys 2009 WET Calendar is available on the DC Cowboys website.

Yeah... I love calendar season.
