The New Military Pin-up: Beefcake Marines Strip for Wounded Vets

Since the U.S. Armed Forces seem to have a hard time taking care of their own ("It's a stopgap effort to help people where government programs leave off..."), once again Marines are being forced to help themselves out financially by selling sex.

They're also on a cross-country tour to promote the new beefcake calendar from San Diego-based group Freedom is Not Free:

"Several members of the group, promoting the calendar on a cross-country tour, said Thursday they have medical conditions, ranging from combat stress-related symptoms to injuries to their feet, knees, hips and backs from carrying combat loads of more than 200 pounds."

100% of the proceeds from the calendar will go to aid wounded veterans.

Said Sean Mickle, 31: "I wasn't afraid to pose. This is the new-generation Marines."

So true, so true.

Support our troops! Buy Beefcake!

Rescue Me: Survivor Winner Tom Westman in FDNY Calendar

Featured prominently among the firefighting hunks in the just-released FDNY Calendar of Heroes 2007 is Survivor Palau winner Tom Westman. It's refreshing to see that over-40 Survivor winners can still go on to pin-up careers. He joins former castmate Jeff Wilson in that endeavor. Boys, on this hot Friday, we salute you.

You can buy the calendar here. A few more shots of the firefighting hunks after the jump...

Men of Mortuaries: You'll Just Dig 'Em

What would David Fisher think?

When I first saw the Calendario Romano, the 12-page datebook from Vatican City featuring hot priests and seminarians, I thought that was perhaps the most unique set of male calendar babes I had seen. Here though, is a new calendar dedicated to men whose everyday business also has to do with the afterlife.

Men of Mortuaries, is the brainchild of California funeral home director Ken McKenzie, whose calendar of 12 bodybuilder morticians will benefit breast cancer patients. McKenzie, whose sister is a breast cancer survivor, said he wanted to find a way to help patients struggling with finances.

Now, while I of at least one studly mortician, the image of the death professional needs a lift, according to McKenzie: "Whenever you hear about a funeral director it’s a guy in a suit in the corner with a hump on their back. The hardest part was finding 12 attractive funeral directors. That just doesn’t happen. This industry is just not known for that."

So, if hot French rugby players seem so last year, you'll be able to bone up for Men of Mortuaries in October 2006.
