Boys from Brazil: Towleroad Hits Rio de Janeiro
Friend of Towleroad Lewis Payton recently spent six weeks down in Rio and boy am I envious. I sent a few T-shirts with him and for the next few days I'll be sharing a few of his stories and images of where those T-shirts ended up!
Lewis writes: "Rio is incredible, the most vibrant, passionate, sensual and alive city I have ever experienced. Everyone is so damned sexy! You just don't know where to look, there is so much beauty. For a voyeuristic photographer, it makes for a dizzy time!
As you know, I was there for much needed R&R, so really didn't want to pick up my camera this time (as much as I was inspired) but I couldn't resist sharing [the] t-shirts with a few new pals. If these snapshots don't get you on the next plane to Rio, I don't know what will...
Cesar is a gogo star at the popular Copacabana nightclub Le Boy and a truly lovely guy. We met on the beach and when he found out I was a photographer he asked if I'd take a few shots of him. With that body, who was I to refuse?!"
Click photos to enlarge. More shots from Lewis' trip on deck for tomorrow. And if you're looking for a great holiday gift for that avid blog reader, details on how you can support the site and get your own Towleroad Tee are here.

Reminds me of the build i had while serving all those years in the Hitler Youth... that is when i started wearing dresses that my fans today refer to as 'robes.'

My co-worker described the model as looking "a bit exoskeletal". Interesting. I wonder if tastes are changing back to a more toned, attainable-without-steroids look?
Not that I'd object... I still think dude is scorchingly hot. That little square cut swimsuit on those narrow hips... you can't beat it.
