Miranda Kerr Photo-Shoot by Laurent Darmon

Before young boys (and grown men) were drooling over and fantasizing about Kate Upton, there was another supermodel that brought joy to men all over the world.  Her name was Miranda Kerr and she’s back, after taking some time off to have a baby, and looking sexier than ever.

Unlike the other model, Miranda is married but luckily for us, she doesn’t shy away from showing the world what here mamma gave here.  In this black and white nude photo-shoot, a very lucky Laurent Darmon is behind the camera and a very happy and playful Miranda Kerr is modeling in some very sexy poses.

Rugged Reclaimed Furniture – Rail Yard Studios

Nothing says finished man like ruggedly sexy home decor. Forget throw pillows and pastel color schemes- Rail Yard Studios has begun building stunning, macho furniture out of reclaimed rail ties and pieces of historical railways. Some of the pieces of steel and nails used were originally placed as far back as 1899, and were being sold for scrap when the railways were scheduled to be updated. Normally, rail ties are creosote treated, but often before they even get to that stage, they are singled out for flaws and slated to be sent to the furnace. This brilliant design house intercepts these ties before they’re completely wasted and creates the intriguingly badass furniture pictured after the jump.

Road Trip Tips – One for The Road

Deciding to go on a road trip can be a very exciting event, especially if you have never been on such an adventure before. Recently I went on a road trip with a friend of mine and the experience got me thinking about the characteristics that one should look for when choosing the ideal traveling partner.

So what makes or breaks a road trip? Are you the type that likes your trip-partner to talk and keep you entertained, or do you swing more towards the comfortable silence listening to ‘Angel’ by Sarah McLaughlin sounding softly in the background? Is the answer so black and white? What if the ‘entertainment’ was being told what the best lane to use to avoid heavy traffic delays? Or even worse, being

The Phoenician Stone Quarry “Atlantis” – Ibiza

The Balearic Islands (and Ibiza in particular) are a long standing item on my travel to-do list. I’ve wanted to go there and party for years now, as by many accounts, Ibiza is one of the world’s top party locations. It’s got beautiful beaches, beautiful women, and an unending flow of delicious alcoholic beverages. What you may not know, is that Ibiza also has a rich history, and some interesting (and well hidden) historical sites to go with it.

Atlantis is a stone quarry that was carved out by the Phoenicians for use as building material on Dalt Vila, the old town of Ibiza. Though it bears the same name as the mythical undersea city of the same name, this

A View to a Kill – Urban Exploration of The Golden Gate Bridge

San Fransisco is one of my favorite places in the world. The city is fantastically rich with a wide range of cultures, nature is close at hand, the climate is great, and… they’ve got The Golden Gate Bridge.

For those of you that have visited San Fransisco (or live there), you probably know this already… the views from the bridge are absolutely stunning. If you have the chance, I highly recommend renting a bike and heading across it on a sunny day. Memories to last a lifetime, I’m telling you. But there’s another side of the bridge that most of us will
