SHU RUGBY TEAM GETS NAKED for 2008

There might not be any snogging and wanking in the 2008 SHU Rugby Club calendar, but there's certainly not a lack of excessive male bonding.  The calendar, which has the lads pictured in the club's changing rooms and showers, as well as in the Leadmill nightclub, is the sixth nude calendar produced by the club.  And if the stills aren't enough, get ready!... there's an accompanying "Making of..." DVD and photo CD set featuring behind-the-scenes outtakes as well as photos not used in the calendar.

The money raised from the sales of the calendar is put back into the club to fund player development and training and to give as many people as possible the chance to get involved in naked rugby players, and sports in general.

EVA FANTASIZES with CAMPARI HOTTIES

The beautiful Eva Mendes is featured in the 2008 Campari calendar... designed around fairytales, fantasies, and stud muffins:  Little Red Riding Hood, Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty & The Beast, Pinocchio, The Little Match Girl, and Sleeping Beauty.  Shot by Italian photographer Marino Parisotto, the calendar is limited to a 9,999 edition print.

“The Campari* Calendar has been a truly unique experience,” said Eva, 32. “I had never posed for a calendar before and I was thrilled that Campari has given me the opportunity to interpret these wonderful stories… who wouldn’t want to live a fairytale even if for a short while?”

BAD BEHAVIOUR, FANTASIES and PLEASURES

Combining fantasies of the mind and pleasures of the flesh, Australian photographers, Ross Brownsdon and Travis de Jonk, have put together a collection of fetish inspired images to create their first calendar, BAD BEHAVIOUR 2008.  These dark, erotic fantasies are created with great sensitivity and detail, making them captivating, beautiful and sexy.  I think my favorite is the one of Batman below... perhaps carrying tired Robin home from a long & hard heroic battle.  Click any image to enlarge.

Joe Oppedisano: Rebel 2008

May is the month that most of the new year's calendars become available.  Sure, you might not need a 2008 calendar - just yet.  But it's never too early to gaze over the homorific images in Joe Oppedisano's Rebel 2008 calendar.  Straight from the pages of Joe's book "Testosterone", the images in Rebel 2008 are raw, masculine, and rebellious...and frame-able.  If you prefer your men hard, wild, and agressive, Rebel 2008 won't let you down.

Adam Bouska: From the Beach, to the Field, to the Shower

When I first came across Adam Bouska's web site, I wasn't sure if he was a model or the photographer...as Adam not only shares photographs of his models on his web site, but plenty of hot pics of himself as well.  Look for Adam's new photo-calendar, Exposed, to be available in May.  From the shower to the beach to the football field, this collection of photography is unforgettable.
