French For Fantasy
Monday, July 31st, 2006I admit that when it comes to athletics outside of the bedroom I’m not much of a participant. Sure I walk and cycle every day and occasionally attend a yoga class but that’s about it for me.
With the recent World Cup, I discovered that watching some sports can work up as much of a sweat as actually participating in them. Hot young, muscular jocks running around a field in shorts and a t-shirt, their sun-kissed skin glistening with perspiration, what more could straight women and gay men ask for? It sure the hell beats American football or hockey where it’s close to impossible to objectify—er, I mean admire—any of the athletes since their uniforms are more like suits of armor. Rugby is a most welcome alternative.
But as much as I enjoy the spectacle of these sporting goods on the field, I generally don’t have the time to be sitting in front of the television set for two hours on a regular basis. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered what beefy rugby-playing bon-bons were waiting for me online. Mon dieu!
From what I can gather, from 2001 and on The French National Rugby Team has been modeling for the “Dieux du Stade” calendar. Did I mention that the team appears in the nude? And the stylish pics are shot in classic black and white. The 2006 calendar goes on sale September 29—but of course you can pre-order now—and there will also be a “Making of the 2006 Calendar” DVD available for sale.
The best way to get a taste of the photos (for 2006 and prior years, too) is to check out the beautiful Oh La La Paris site. Not only does it provide you with a sampling of these athletic and photogenic studs but there are also some other delicious dudes you can look at, too.
Not surprisingly, the awesome You Tube site currently offers up 9 clips (ranging from 29 seconds to 5.05 minutes) featuring the jocks hard at work on their part in the making of the calendar. Simply go to http://www.youtube.com/ and enter “les dieux du stade” into its video search engine.
I wonder if hottie Frederic Michalak and the rest of his hot team mates are looking for a new towel boy in the locker room…or for someone to hold their balls between games?
Cheers!
