Gary Oyeeeeeeahldman

Hello, I don't have time for this at all. None.

Doin' it anyway!
Just a quick little bit of beautiful, veiny hands attached to sweater-clad arms for you this evening (morning). Next entry is delightfully titled: "Men in Henley's". Can you guess why?


Dear God. Seriously, DEAR GOD, thank you for making that *points up*.

Baryshnikobviously

Hello again. Hello again, all TWO of our followers.

I thinking I'm just going to go ahead and call myself "Ché" on this blog. As in "Ché Guevara", the military theorist, guerrilla commander, probably misappropriated symbol of youth revolt, and martyred Marxist hero. I mean, for obvious reasons...besides the one where I already call myself that elsewhere on the Internet. So whenever you see "Ché" at the end of a post, know that the penman is...you know, me, Ché.  That is to say, the half of the partnership who prefers bigger, broader, older, less effeminate Men In Sweaters.  I'm Also the cooler one. *cough*

 I've been was thinking more than that, however. I was ALSO thinking that I'm a hilarious writer and ought to be a columnist for a flashy and hip, London rag.


Today's post is going to be about a ballet dancer, yet I'm still going to maintain my non-effeminate standard of man preference. I'm clearly going to maintain my high levels of offensiveness to those sensitive to gender issues, as well.  C'MON, you know I'm not really that bigoted about men. Not REALLY.

...*snicker*...


Anyway, to start, since sweaters are certainly more provocative than nudity,  here is what the testosterone-oozing, Russian/Latvian Ballet overlord looks like WITHOUT a sweater:


I wish I had a laser pointer right now so that we may go over each ripple and bulge to the extent which it is deserved. 

Speaking of bulge...that reminds me;



Oh, and Thanks to Richard Avedon and gracious, superior genetics, he sometimes looks like this:


...when not wearing a sweater.


And just so you can fully appreciate what you're looking at, from top to bottom:


Do you think he would mind if I sat on him while he did that? If I sat there on his rock hard bottom and rested my wineglass on his expertly pointed foot? Think he'd be upset? 


Now, here is our White Knight in various stages of what is very likely (but could be debated) sweater-dress. I've added captions to alert you more accurately to what I'm pretty positive he's thinking. 


Well, ok. I'm not going to write a caption here because he's incontrovertibly receiving fellatio. 
(he is happy about that.) 


"...Good girl. Now put on Joe Cocker and do a little dance like Kim Basinger did in 9 1/2 weeks. I'm going to sit over here, have a scotch, and look at you like this the whole time." Instead of autographing the photo, he autographs your hind-quarters. 

"Excuse me, WHERE is my breakfast? Get into the kitchen and don't come out until you have a plate of perfectly golden pancakes to serve me."

OR

"My God! You look so absolutely breathtaking I MUST have you. Now."
~~~~~~~~



On another note, I implore you to PLEASE study very closely the size and beauty of this man's hand. *looks incredulously at screen*




This is quite possibly the most pornographic photo of a man in a white button-down that's ever existed. And you KNOW how much I like me a dude in a crisp, condescending, white shirt. Look! Ooooh, boy. Vein-y, long-fingered hands...forearms... muscly shoulders begging to be freed from precisely dry-cleaned imprisonment...starched collar...brooding look. Cheese and Rice! CHEESE AND RICE!! 



And Finally:


You are welcome.

We have returned, Dear Readers.

Hello.

We are decidedly back. Back from a year of moving, break-ups, break-ins, break-outs, wild successes, a few epic fails, and overall super shifts- we are here again to brighten your day with handsome, often rugged, hunks of pristine man meat for your hungry eyes.

As if the slowly colder evenings, the pre-Thanksgiving Christmas decorations, wood-stoves, and jacket weather wasn't enough (and the fact that I'm bedridden with the flu)...there is this:



Joe.


Joe Manganiello... in what must be the most comfortable, coziest sweater that has ever graced any overly-sculpted, bare man-chest in the history of purely-decorative clothing. Mr. Manganiello is *drum roll* a Werewolf. Well, that is to say that he plays one on HBO's series True Blood. Of which, of course, I am an avid watcher. I mean...who REALLY wouldn't want to watch this guy growl, strip out of his flannel shirt, tight denim jeans, and construction worker boots and turn into a powerful, wild animal?

How could I deprive the world of being sure to see THAT? *points and stares in astonishment at Joe's perfectly formed pectoral muscles*


Here's the deal. My idea is that the two of us, over here, will be a bit more dedicated to our baby blog (even though some tween has apparently tried to strip us of our man-in-sweater monopoly- we are the only true man-sweater blog!). Also, I'm thinking that we shan't be anonymous any longer. If my partner agrees, we will start signing off the blogs each of us write so that you can differentiate between us, thus making our antics more entertaining and cohesive. For instance, if my partner had signed one of the blogs she wrote below, say, the one starring the firewood, then you would know there was two of us penning this blog. In that way you wouldn't be confused when I then wrote something like: "That guy in the last picture, in the green sweater, is a flimsy little man-wiener and ought not be on this website", in the next posting.

See?


Anyway, I've got to go blow my nose and hock up a lugey. Mmmm. Right? You like it.
I will leave you on this note:



AAAAhhhhoooooooooooo!
(That's me howling like a wolf. Get it?)

Northwest Manifesto

Now, the imagery here may seem a bit all over the place. I'll give you that. Tomorrow I break from Chicago's summer heat and delve into the land of the Pacific Northwest.
The twinkle in my eye took up residence about a week ago imagining the potential combinations of pullovers, bicycles, hippy string bracelets, utilitarian boots, and muscular hands gripping cups of Americanos as perfect swirls of steam combine with the bite of Vancouver air EXPLODING in a GLORY of coffee/mountainous earth smell, windblown salt and pepper hair, and effing sexy.
My access to male model portfolios and stock photography pages certainly isn't helping me deal with my appreciation for these finer things in life, so I thank you for allowing me this outlet to channel my creepiness and hide my longing glances behind a computer screen. By allow, I mean you not doing anything except refraining from contacting anyone with legal authority regarding your concerns about my behaviour.
That said, my fantasies were FAR surpassed when I plugged the words "northwest" "man" and "sweater" into the getty image search.
Holy God. Holy, holy Lord. I thank you for my blessed life. I thank you for the beautiful creatures you've created to grace this earth. I thank you for the cold air's creation of this need to encompass broad shoulders and brawny forearms in tightly woven wool/cotton blends. You can be assured, your efforts are not wasted on me.
So, we have some variety. And I look forward to this variety. Enjoy.





OK, the hipster boy needs a cheesecake. That bike girl needs to step up to her apron duties or step. away. from. the sweatered bike man. yep.

Take me to the river




Now as much as this sunshine makes my heart smiley, it also conjures up some non-urban summery sweater images.
Okay okay, these aren't summery. You see, it's very hard to stop myself from dragging these adorable little icons to mydesktop even though the photos are out of season. I mean, look at them. **sigh**

And on that high note...

How about a touch of USHER as well?




Whoops, looks like Usher was too busy working out to remember to put his sweater on!







Usher in 2010 with a touch of Baldwin.

Happy belated New Year everyone. We've been very busy these last couple weeks/months and fell behind. I'm making it up to you with the help of ridiculous, sweatery pictures of Alec Baldwin















This was a good shoot. Oh yes. I very good, fuzzy shoot.










Here is some more gratuitous Baldwin sans sweater (but generally hot as f*ck):




Seriously. A MILITARY UNIFORM? This should be required portraiture for every hot dude on the planet.


...fore...arms?




I actually like the last couple decades of Alec the best. What. I like 'em "seasoned".


I would eat this for breakfast.
