DNA Magazine is a perennial favorite around our house, and the latest issue hit our mailbox on Monday. The cover photo, shot by Pedro Virgil features two sexy Aussie lifeguards in their red speedos. (Unfold the cover and three more join them. Pull out the poster in back and there are two more!)

I love w00t.com, the site where you can purchase a daily featured high-tech toy at a super-low price. Bringing that idea into the world of fashion is Gilt Groupe, who launch their menswear site on Wednesday with a similar concept.

Log in on time, 'cos you don't know if the John Varvatos fashions will stay in stock for long!

UPDATE: I'm a dork and spelled the company name wrong. However, I did log on for their first sale this morning and nabbed an awesome cotton/silk blend button-up shirt. Things get COMPETITIVE on there... I only got the shirt after someone's shopping cart expired.

Today in the HDJ Mailbox we got a very nice surprise! Brazilian supermodel Edilson Nascimento (Vision Model Management) modeling some of the hottest underwear fashions for International Jock.

Edilson flew up to California for the afternoon shoot, modeling from the Spring collections of brands like Diesel and Calvin Klein. The folks at International Jock promise much more on their website, so be sure to check them out!

Ya know, some days I just hate my job...

Some photos of model Luke for Fantastics Mag. At the end of last month they featured this sexy man stripping out of his sweaters as a sign of upcoming spring weather.

...I don't know about where you live, but in Seattle we're still feeling chilly and I won't be shedding my sweater anytime soon. But think of springtime with Luke, and dream of warmer days.

Oh La La Boys Steph & Alek (Stephane Marquet and Aleksander Tomovic) have hit the pages of Instinct Magazine, with a photo spread titled La Vie En Beige.

Earlier this month Steph & Alek also announced their move from OhLaLaParis to OhLaLaMag, a fitting change in moniker for the French transplants who now live in the bustle of Los Angeles, California. Even with a change of location and change of name, these boys are on top of their game.

Check out their other four pages from Instinct after the jump! Congratulations, boys.

Fantastic photographer Dylan Rosser sent us a note recently about his latest photo shoot appearing on his website. Folks seem to have very strong and varied opinions on some of the latest photography projects where the models are dirty.

What do you think of the latest trend in dirty models? Do you just want them to take a shower, or is the grit and grime a welcome change?
