We always like to keep the Weekend Warmup like we like our women: well rounded- so this week, we’re heading back to photography 101 and checking out a smokin’ hot series of traditional black and white shots. Andre Brito is a Portuguese fashion and editorial photographer who is the king of light and shadow; mastery of black and white doesn’t even come close to describing his work as he captures every shade of grey on the spectrum, and some your brain didn’t even know existed until just now. What that means for you is that every curve and line and lovely lady lump is perfectly presented and expertly highlighted. Hot damn. continue reading →
Every week I scour the internet to bring you the finest looking hotties I can find, and along the way I see all sorts of interesting sets. This collection of photos by Sergei Bizjaev definitely fits into the “interesting” category. The photos range from nature filled and serene, to downright wacky. As you’ve undoubtedly noticed in the header image, there’s a woman eating a fish. Why is she eating a fish? I have absolutely no idea, but I’m sure she has a good reason.
Most of the shots are color, but there are a few black and white shots to add a certain level of class and refinement. There’s something about a black and white photo that makes it look a lot more artsy. One could shoot the exact same shot, one in color, one not, and the black and white shot will always look continue reading →
I spend a fair bit of time every week looking through portfolios for the perfect weekend warmup galleries, and I’m starting to realize that for every set of exceptional nudes out there, there are some really, really horrible ones. It’s not that most men would argue, mind you- it’s just that pretty girls who aren’t overly posed or really cliched are actually harder to find than you think. That’s why I was pretty thrilled with Alexander Tikhomirov’s work: it reminds me of stumbling onto a box of old Polaroids at a yard sale… racy, exciting glimpses into someone else’s life, rather than joyless, uncomfortable nudie pics. We’re all for racy and exciting, after the jump. continue reading →

A classic episode of Seinfeld had Jerry’s floundering friend George realize that his life sucks, so every instinct which has lead him there must be completely wrong. He begins to do the opposite of what his gut tells him and enjoys a windfall of women and gets his dream job with the New York Yankees. There’s a lesson to be learned from Georgie boy’s approach that can be easily applied to dating. continue reading →
We’ve already gone over some of the reasons that a woman will fudge the truth when it comes to her man; yesterday I overheard a conversation between two men that made me realize that a lot of guys think that they’re required to have the same skills. When should a man tell the truth to his girl, and when should he be fabricating a little extra to cover his ass? One of these guys walking ahead of me was talking about how his girlfriend looked awful in a dress, and asked the others’ opinion. The response he got? “Just lie. Lie as hard as you can, lie about everything- lie until she’s out the door.” I wanted to jump into the conversation and punch the advice giver in the mouth, but I prefer to be crazy only on the internet…wouldn’t want to blow my cover out there in the real world. Read on for tips on when the white lie actually does more harm than good. continue reading →
Sure, it’s okay to meet a woman at a bar or a club, but it’s a pretty awful place to bring her on a first date. You won’t get to know her any better and what’s worse, you’re going to be surrounded by drunk a-holes trying to swoop in on your thing. Still, showing her that you’re a grown up means planning something better than “getting together” or “hanging out.” That stuff is for boys, not men, and you want to be a man. So take her out on a date. It’s 2012 and the economy isn’t that great, but there are still a bunch of things you can do on any budget that will give you time to get to know one another while also keeping both of you entertained.

There’s just something about a clean, cute hipsterish looking girl (I say clean because some of them have natty dreds and are too underground for the man’s ‘mainstream’ deodorant.) This edition of the weekend warmup is brought to us by Greg Kadel: an awesome beauty and editorial photographer based out of New York. When it comes to slightly alternative, more than slightly naked chicks, Kadel has this whole photography thing on lock. Get the weekend started right with some stunning photos of his favorite ladies. continue reading →
Today we’re showing off a collection of fine looking ladies, photographed by the very talented Vasily Stepanov. I’ve never heard of him before, and unless you’re Russian, chances are you haven’t either. What we can probably all agree on, though, is that these shots are great. Instead of following a particular theme, I’m simply featuring the photographs from his collection which I like the best.
Vasily has done a number of portraits and commercial pieces as well, though the bulk of his collection seems to focus on the nude female form. Honestly, can you blame the fellow? As you’ll see below, all of these women are continue reading →
Most of us have childhood memories of watching fairly tale movies – especially of the Disney variety. Films like The Little Mermaid and Snow White were a staple of most peoples childhood, but I bet that most of us didn’t imagine fairy tale characters quite like this. Well, at least not until we got a bit older and our minds made their slow but sure dissent into pervertedness.
The following images are from a 2012 calender called Fairy Tale Fantasies. Rendered by the very talented J. Scott Campbell, and coloured by Nei Ruffino, these interpretations of classic fairy tale characters show us the likes of Ariel and Snow White continue reading →

You see it all the time. The ugly guy who looks like he could use a good shower with the super hot girl on his arm. Tired of just convincing yourself that he’s either got a huge penis or a huge trust fund? Ready to start really considering what he’s doing right that you’re doing wrong? continue reading →
