As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.

Of whom are you more jealous?

Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.

Details (September 2010) offers this Polaroid amongst its hottest male models of the season. Below, Mira! (23 de Agosto 2010) has a great shot of William Levy, a cute, browful shot of Andrés Sandoval and a memorable pic of Madonna's Jesus Luz at the beach:

Oh, dear, is Jesus Luz a gay Madonna fan or her boyfriend? Now he's getting into the GaGa vs. Madonna game by Tweeting a link to that so-so video comparing the two.

It's probably very innocent on his part, but if I were Madonna, I would rein in anyone in my camp suggesting GaGa is copying her because (A) the argument is 100% positive for Madonna until Madonna, Inc., engages in it—then it makes her look petty; and (B) why level charges of "copying" when it could lead to a backlash of people pointing out all of Madonna's own countless "homage" moments? (IMHO, many of Madonna's individual pieces of work could be deconstructed for blatant inspirations, but her overall career is still that of an original.)

Many Madonna outtakes from that most recent Steven Klein W session are here. Some I'd already seen, some I hadn't. The budding couple looks pretty hot in some, a bit ragged in others.

Star (May 24, 2010) offers its "Best Beach Bodies," including Kellan Lutz, Jesus Luz, Apolo Anton Ohno, Andy Roddick, Matt McConaughey, Kris Allen and Gerard Butler:
