Actually Raj is of SOUTH Asian descent, not EAST Asian. Kevin, on the other hand, IS of East Asian descent (Chinese). So I'll take Raj with some Indian curry sauce and Kevin with some Chinese curry sauce :) mmm
If you removed Raj and Kevin, then it would be a Sean Cody crew, but it's "too diverse" with them in the pic to be a Sean Cody crew.

Justin Springs has a bit of the Prince Harry about him. Wouldn't they make an adorable couple?

Orgy time!

I'll take the one behind Raj(Alexander (Sasha) Artemev), the way he rode that pummel horse......
Posted by: JM | Aug 14, 2008 12:34:42 PM
They're all hot, but Sasha is my fave. I'd sure like to stretch his Tkatchev. And he can V-sit on my face any day!

Why do non "white" people always have to get curry or salsa thrown in with them? For the record, white is not a country, so take some pride in your own cultural history too or at least find out where you came from. Maybe then guys won't seem so "exotic".
Posted by: Bimbo Brooks | Aug 14, 2008 1:17:38 PM
OK, BROOKS,
we'll take the white guy with sauerkraut too. And he doesn't have to be Aryan--I'd enjoy a pair of matso balls too. I aint no bigot...well, not no mo'.

Brooks, I totally agree.
As a Latin guy I get that every once and a while and I'm like "um, ok."
Of course, I have tended to respond like Derrick above when encountering that "exotifying" behavior from white guys. I'm like, "ooh, i'd love to see you sipping a scotch on a yacht with your friend Biffy from Brandeis!" and they realize how ridiculous the whole thing is.
(for the record, I don't mind when someone says they like my latin features or my skin color or eye color or the way I dance--I sway my hips like crazy LOL--it's just when people throw cultural laziness around that bugs me.)

My cultural history implores me to offer a "Sieg Heil” to good looking male darkies. I will take an order of Kevin Tran and a Sum Yung Thing.
Posted by: Mike | Aug 14, 2008 5:35:07 PM
I'm suprised they're willing to bend over so frequently. GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ever happened to all of the hot Russian/Eastern Bloc gymnasts? Those were the days. This Olympiad's crop of gymnasts (men and women) are as dull as can be and completely lacking in the "hot" department.
Posted by: Tom | Aug 14, 2008 6:24:40 PM
mmmmm.... great biceps. those boys may be wee, but they're stacked.

Stupid idiot white bread anglo Americans who think that everyone who is dark and sultry must be from a Spanish speaking country, like tamales and dance salsa.

Anton Golotsutskov, Marian Dragulescu, Hiroyuki Tomita, and Benoit Caranobe are so much hotter esp. Anton.

Just to put all the ignorance to rest Raj Bhavsar is born to Indian parents Jitendra and Surekha Bhavsar in Houston in 1980. His parents come from a Western state in India called Gujarat. They are called Gujaratis or Gujju's in India. They are most famous in India for being traders. In US they are mostly associated with owning the Motel businesses, Indian Grocery stores.
Hope this puts to rest all that silly speculation whether he is a curry or a salsa.

I'd like to carry Jonathan Horton around in my pants.
Posted by: V | Aug 15, 2008 1:01:12 AM
Alexander Artemev all the way... as the sportscasters have said over and over "he has such nice lines!"
Posted by: AJM | Aug 15, 2008 1:03:48 AM
I certainly appreciate the pic - as does everyone here obviously - but what on earth were they, their managers and the photographer thinking with this pose? It wouldn't look out of place in an issue of DNA Magazine.
