CHECK OUT THE "WORK UNFRIENDLY" SHOTS AT MY TUMBLR.

My pal Jason had to remind me about Broadway Bares: Solo Strips at XL tonight, which I attended following a friend's book-signing. It was pretty crowded, probably because there was only one show this time.

I bought an inseam's worth of raffle tickets from the one on the left. I lost, but still won.

The audience contained plenty of Broadway Bares-backers, including many who'd shucked their clothes in the past for the same cause: To raise cash for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Andrew Glaszek and Matthew Steffens were among those scouting the competition. (Okay, okay: Supporting friends. Okay, fine: Ogling friends.)

The program was as lean as its stars, featuring short but sweet (more like fast and dirty) performances of the variety that used to get ladies with bad reputations hauled off to the hoosegow just a few decades ago. But as always, the men of Broadway Bares managed to be racy without getting distastefully raunchy. Maybe it's because, as Broadway professionals, they never forget to SMILE.

This is the twenty-first in a series of posts by The Underwear Expert

We all have a basic understanding of Cinco de Mayo here in the States. It's a day to celebrate Hispanic culture...and an excuse to drink tequila and salsa dance till you hit the floor. But how many of you actually know why we celebrate this holiday?

This festive national holiday commemorates Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla back in 1862, and here in the States it is seen as a celebration of freedom and democracy.

To pay tribute to this holiday of Hispanic heritage, The Underwear Expert has rounded up five of the hottest Latin underwear models. Each should have a little chili pepper next to his name to denote "extra hot."

Check them out...
