Male Models In Underwear Biography
Source(Google.com.pk)
What in the world are they feeding people in Brazil? Seriously!!! How else can you explain how hot the women and, more importantly, men are there? In honor of the country’s hotness, this week’s crush is top Brazilian male model, Marlon Teixeira. He’s currently ranked at #18 in the world on Models.com Top 50 model index. You’ve probably recognized his face *cough* body *cough* in numerous print ad campaigns, but never knew his name…. until now.
Even though he was born in Santa Catarina, Brazil, he’s actually not of Brazilian descent. He’s half Portuguese, 1/4 Indian and 1/4 Japanese. Talk about a sexy concoction of genes- bottle me up some of that. This part is going to make you sick. Marlon is only 19-20-years-old (couldn’t find an accurate age). So young and so hot. GAG.
In his short time in the fashion industry, he’s already scored some major ad campaigns and worked with industry giants. The 6’1/2″ curly haired stud was discovered when his grandmother introduced him to the Way Model Management owner. His breakout campaign was with Dior Homme. With his dark bronzed good looks and oozing sensuality, it’s no wonder he’s on the short list of many top clients like Armani Exchange, Diesel, Iceberg, Custo Barcelona, DSquared and many more. Given his young age, I predict a long career for this hottie.
21-year-old Indiana native Clark Bockelman was studying at the University of Denver when, as every model dreams, he was discovered by Bruce Weber—a name Clark hadn’t heard before, but would come to know well. Two days later, the young model was shooting his first editorial with the legendary fashion photographer.
Featured in a recent piece in the New York Times style section covering Calvin Klein’s New York casting for the brand’s Milan men’s wear show, Clark stood out as a shoo-in against the competition. Right next to getting discovered by a renowned photographer, booking a Calvin Klein runway show (or even better yet, a campaign), is practically the golden ticket to launching a career in modeling.
With his all-American looks and broad aesthetic appeal, Clark’s endurance in the industry seems all but assured. Kicking off his career with high brow press coverage certainly doesn’t hurt either. Weber and other fashion insiders point to the model’s resemblance to 1950s Hollywood stars as part of his magnetic appeal. Of course, we think his remarkable underwear modeling skills have something to do with it too.
Check out these photos of Clark—in and out of his underwear—and let us know if you’re cheering his rise to the top.
It all began:
At the age of 17, when he landed his first national commercial for Clearasil, Tracy James' career has been on the rise. When Tracy appeared on the cover of a popular calandar, he was requested to appear on the Joan Rivers show. Joan Rivers gave him an extra boost by featuring him on her show, and in return his picture with Joan appeared on the cover of the Enquirer. This strange series of events landed Tracy numerous fitness magazine jobs which were being viewed by the people at Soloflex.
A Model example of the Fit Male:
"The Soloflex Man"
Tracy James' popularity snowballed into a multi-media sensation. Launching his career as one of the original Soloflex men, he captivated audiences nationwide with his 30-minute infomercial as well as appearing on an instructional video. He soon adorned the covers of many major fitness magazines and, national as well as international calendars.
Fitness Video Star
Tracy quickly gained recognition in the fitness community; thus his first fitness video, from the "Firm" sweries, was unveiled. With over 3 million copies sold to date, it has been one of the top five selling workout videos on the market. Tracy continues to work with various charities donating time and money for those in need. Every Thanksgiving you can find him in the kitchen at God's Love, We Deliver.
Cosmopolitan's "Man of the Year"
A short while later, Cosmopolitan Magazine placed him in the ranks of such super studs as Burt Reynolds, Arnold Schwartzeneggar, Jim Brown and David Hasselhoff when he was voted "Cosmopolitan Man of the Year." Cosmopolitan not only bestowed him with the title of "Man of the Year," but they also placed a pull out centerfold of Tracy in the May 1996 issue; Cosmopolitan's 25th Anniversary issue, which was reserved only for major celebrities up until this point. Tracy can also be found on the covers of Cosmopolitans steamy romance novels and fashion editorials throughout the year.
"Under Exposure"
Catching on quickly to his appealing qualities, Giorgio Armani chose to place Tracy on all of his underwear packaging and advertisements. Tracy James soon appeared in advertising campaigns from over 16 different underwear companies in all. Check the packaging the next time you're browsing through the underwear department of your favorite store. Chances are you'll see Tracy James. Tracy also somehow made time to finish college and get his bachelors degree in electrical engineering.
"Sailing Away"
With the wind at his back Tracy James ventured to Europe where the international fashion community warmly accepted him. Working with designers like Valentino, Armani, Versace, and Adolfo Domingez served to propel Tracy James into nearly every major fashion magazine on the rack. One of his most memorable European experiences was working with photographer Steven Meisel, while shooting an editorial for Italian Vogue with Kristi Hugh. One of the photographs from the shoot was selected as the cover shot for Vogue's hard cover anniversary issue.
