What models look like without makeup

I got this off tumblr! These are pics of supermodels Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio without make up. Nor is their hair professionally done, with studio lighting or nature's enemy, Photoshop.

Crazy, right? I couldn't find (i.e. too lazy too look) any male model comparisons, but trust me dudes are photoshopped to death -- especially in the face. And body. And everywhere. Everybody does it. Fact of life. Hell, I alter my Facebook photos!

We all want to look our best and fudge it a little bit here and there. Especially online. IRL we can't hide our flaws so easily, which makes us vulnerable and perhaps easily drawn into the fantasy of perfection. Still, that doesn't mean we should hide behind our computers. We can't be afraid of showing our "true selves" to people -- even if it means they can hurt us in return. A fantasy is great, but real life is worth living.

A delicious and nutritious breakfast!

Seriously, it takes nothing to get a giggle out of you guys. Perverts! I'm talking about the delicious confection in his hot little hands. I've made the case before that if there is one time of the day where it makes the most sense to cheat, it would be in the morning. You have the rest of the day to burn it off! Unfortuch, there can be a drawback.

We are stupid human beings with simple, stupid minds. When we make one unhealthy choice, we sort of throw in the towel and say fuckets the rest of the day. Suddenly, the day is bust and we'll start eating healthy tomorrow. We get lax in our habits. Having that doughnut or bagel or cupcake for breakfast can set you on a downward spiral to the point you're eating spaghetti tacos on the regular. Not cute.

Start the day strong, with proteins and carbs to fuel -- not sugar and fat. An occasional cheat day is a treat, not the exemption to the rule. One little exception become another and soon another!

Mario Lopez forcibly stripped down to his undies

Mario Lopez really needs to get over his crippling shyness. He's got to get out of his shell! Ellen DeGeneres was all too willing to help him do just that on her talk show, when she forcibly stripped him down to his undies.  Just kidding. He dropped his pants faster than a backroom trick at Hype. It was all part of promoting his new underwear line, Rated M. I really see no problem with this. Make a spectacle of yourself all you want! Objectify away! If you've got it, flaunt it. Why the hell not?

This looks super fun...

"I am the mighty Tho--wheee!!!" Chris Hemsworth is one of those guys born an Adonis. There is just such a thing as admiring the male body and I know you slut bitches need some celebrity flesh. You're welcome!

Even super heroes need to take time off to have some fun. Don't forget the simple joys that make life worth living. Like a giant two story air mattress slide off the side of a yacht in St. Barts. You know, the little things. Kids stuff.

I once had someone tell me the best thing ever was riding in the car with your arm out the window, just flowing in the wind. I don't know if that technically counts as "fun" but you know what I'm saying. Go play today.

The biggest workout & weight loss myths BUSTED!

First of all, you shouldn't be blinding chugging water with your shirt off while missing and your mouth and soaking your rippling body like some overly-toned idiot model in a commercial. This is not hydration and is a poor substitute for a real shower. Don't do this in public. The myth is that this is sexy. It looks stupid and you get all wet. People laugh.

Myth: Isolated exercises
If you work out each muscle separately, just think about how many days you have to go to the gym. Chest. Arms. Abs. Calves, etc. That's great if you have time to live at the gym. Most of us do not have that luxury, or even if we had the time we could fill it with much better things than pumping our glutes. Doing exercises that stimulate as many muscle groups as possible at once is the only logical way to hit everything in the most efficient manner. Duh! Do multi-joint exercises like squats,  lounges, pushups, jumping jacks, running in place (all of which can be done in or outside the gym).

Myth: Machines work muscles better than free weights
Machines are GREAT if you want to get a quick pump and keep up whatever work you have done. If you're looking to shed weight and gain muscle there is no faster or proven way than free weights. Some machines can also limit your range of motion.

Myth: Weight loss requires hours of cardio
Everybody needs to do cardio, but it's not the most effective or fastest weight loss method. Given an hour of time, trade the treadmill for free weights.

Myth: Training with weights will make you huge
If this were true, everybody who goes to the gym would look like a bodybuilder. You'll actually have tighter, smaller, not big and bulky.

Myth: Doing sit-ups will give you a 6-pack
You can build the muscles up all you want, but if there's a layer of fat over them nobody will ever see them. Diet is a key factor to showing off those abs. Doing exercises that work upper, middle and lower abs at the same time will also build a strong core and shape the muscles.

Myth: You can target train fat loss
This makes so much sense when it comes to muscles, it seems like it would work to burn fat. It doesn't.

Myth: The longer your sessions the more fit you become
OMG NO. Hours and hours at the gym all at one time isn't going to make you lose more weight or gain more muscle. Consistency -- day after day for 30-60 minutes -- is how you get results. Yes, it's as boring as it sounds!

Myth: You have to eat less to lose fat
Food is fuel. Starving yourself is NEVER the answer to weight loss. Moderation doesn't mean "less" food, it means more healthy food and less garbage. Fuel your body to be fabulous!

THIS IS WHY I NEED TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE!

I hope everyone had a good Monday? Mine was a bit scattered and frantic. Because I didn't do this. Almost none of this: Today is the start of the work week and I was to be prepared. Instead it was a mess. I was not organized. I was frantic. I was all over the place. I got everything done -- in fact some things turned out even better because I work well under pressure. I just felt spent. The past couple weeks I really felt solid, like I got off the ground running, so to speak. Not so today. This is why I need to take my own fucking advice!

I got leaky when I saw this...

Melt my heart already. Gay love! So sweet, OUT magazine. My eyes are filled with this watery stuff. I'm leaking or something. Sadly, the stereotype is that:

*All gays are sluts. NOT TRUE. Firstly, this implies that gays are sluts in contrast to straight people, when we all know there wouldn't be billions of people walking the earth if straight people weren't fucking like animals in heat. Straight people are HUGE WHORES and nobody dismisses the entire culture as "slutty." There are plenty of gay people who don't have multiple partners and don't think it's cool to sleep around, just like boring, ugly straight people.

* Gays can't have committed relationships. So fucking false. Again, this appears to be in contrast to heterosexual couples, as a reason being gay isn't right in comparison, when over half of marriages end in divorce. By the numbers, straight people can't commit. There are plenty of examples of long-term gay couples who have grown old and fat together.

Do you live up to the stereotype? I certainly don't submit to the idea that we're somehow incomplete with out a partner -- I've always believed you have to be 100-percent yourself -- love isn't 50/50. It's 100/100 so when one of you falter the other can bring you back up. What I have come to believe is that we should question our relationships and ask a little more of ourselves, instead of bedding the next cheap trick who makes eyes standing on line at Starbucks. Sex is fun, but it's really good when there is a connection.

Yes, if you put your heart out there someone can slap it to the floor and step on it. That makes them the asshole, not you. Don't let fear stop you from finding love.

I'm a sucker for kitties

It's no secret I love pussy. The feline variety. Duh. My little babe Chaos, who I affectionately call kitty but in the reality of cat years is 64, had surgery to fix her teef. Here's a recent picture, below:

She still looks the same, minus three teeth after surgery. She's 64! I've never had a cat that needed dental work before, so of course I feel horribly guilty. But, she's old. So there's that. It happens.

I've always had a cat, as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure that's why I'm gay. But also, they're great companions. If you don't have a pet in your life there is something missing IMO. It's also been proven they have health benefits.

One of my favorite online pastimes is looking at cat pics. And shopping.

That's besides the point. I don't really have a checklist when it comes to acceptable qualities in the people I socialize with, but they've got to like animals (and specifically cats). Just how it is. Tame my pussy and you win my heart.

I once rejected a potential roommate because kitty didn't like him. 

If you haven't realized I'm writing this post super late at night after trying to give my cat medicine, try making sense of this post. What I'm trying to say here is that pets make your life BETTER. Get one! If you have one, take good care. They will love you back, mostly. And they're way cheaper than kids.

Gettin' busy with (shirtless) Bob Harper

Sometimes I get to talk to famous people, like Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser. He was more than willing to give me a tip (not that kind) or three about staying on target in the New Year, one way to start RIGHT NOW -- and busted the biggest weight loss myth! Sadly, he kept his shirt on. But you'd never know that here. You're welcome!

What are 3 ways people can stay motivated in 2012?

1. Pick one new healthy habit a week and build from there. It is always better to start off with smaller more attainable goals. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Who won that race? The tortoise because he was slow and steady.

2. Get a couple of people at work that share similar goals to help keep you motivated. There is power in numbers so bond together and help each other stay on track.

3. Keep your kitchen free from temptations. If you don’t have it in the house, you won’t be able to eat it. Especially at night when so many people’s resolve seems to be lower.

If there is one change people can make right now to kick-start their journey, what would you recommend?

The first thing that I would say for people that are trying to lose weight is to STOP drinking their calories. You can eliminate so many unnecessary calories every day by following this one simple rule.

In your opinion, what is the biggest weight loss myth?

I think the biggest weight loss myth out there is that there is some sort of end game when it comes to losing weight. So many people think that after they have met their goal they can begin to slack off or slowly fall back into their old ways. When you decide to embark on your weight loss journey you have to be “all in”. Divorce yourself from your old behaviors that put the weight on in the first place and really change your life.

Why Orlando Bloom needs a spanking...

Orlando Bloom takes 35 for a hot, shirtless walk today. Before he found fame, the actor broke his back in an accident, leaving his future (and walking abilities) uncertain. Orlando proves you can't keep a good man down.

To stay in shape, "I do yoga and Pilates," he says. "I’ve been blessed to be given a great physical form, and I want to treasure it." We treasure it as well, you hot daddy (literally)!

Yoga is a great way to stay in shape and keep in tune with your body. Pilates is a little more complicated because it's difficult to do own your own, but I would highly recommend giving it a try -- with a pro instructor. It helps develop better posture and flexibility.

The O is definitely not a bulky, overtly-masculine beefcake -- and he's not likely to develop into one either. He's a strict vegetarian, even avoiding dairy products (however I don’t know if this is dietary or because he's supposedly lactose intolerant).

Orlando also follows the 5 Factor Diet, which features 5 meals a day, 25-minute workouts and one cheat day per week.

You may never drink soda again after reading this

Who am I kidding? Any soda drinker out there reading this will still drink another can of soda after reading this. That's why we're disgusting, stupid creatures and probably deserve whatever we have coming to us. I've already had two cans!

Long story short, some dude claimed he found a mouse in a Mountain Dew can. Extreme! Right? This all happened some time ago, like a few years back, and Pepsi (the parent company that makes the Dew) is finally getting back to the suit.

Their fancy lawyers hired fancy science guys and guess what? The claim was a hoax. If you thought finding a mouse in a soda can was gross, hold on to your butts.

Pepsi's lawyers found experts to testify that based on the state of the remains sent to them, "the mouse would have dissolved in the soda had it been in the can from the time of its bottling until the day the plaintiff drank it." They added that the mouse would have become a "jelly-like substance."

Mice have bones. And teeth. And stuff. They defend their bottling process by revealing how corrosive their product is. Yum! This his how people get cavities, because obvious. I do wonder what it does to my insides.

5 Ways to Make Monday BETTER

The day is done and WHEW right? Because, Mondays. The Worst. If today wasn't so great, here's here are 5 ways to make next Monday better.

* Skateboard to work. Ok sure, this isn't the most practical idea. You'd probably can't roll up to the office like the skater dude pictured above, you'd get your work clothes all sweaty and if you're less coordinated in real life than in your imagination like me, you're bound to fall on your face at least once. The idea is to embrace a more chillazxed world view. Clam down, bro. Roll the window down and let your hand glide through the air. Take a new way to work. Change it up in a fun way. Something. Anything!

* Plan one exciting thing. Even if it's just a lunch with a friend or a quick shopping trip at lunch. Put a little fun on your calendar.

* Plan one shit thing. You're not going to make Monday any worse, get the thing you least want to do out of the way and clear the week!

* Pregame it. The more you prepare, the worse things usually are. Sunday night, lay out your work clothes, make a to-do list, get your head in the game. Start the week off ready for action.

* Finish strong. Don't dash as soon as it's quitting time on Friday, leaving a mess to come back to. Take a little extra time to wrap things up. This will also help eliminate the weekend stress too!

New Year, New Underwear

I've said before that boxers are not the way. David Beckham makes the case for boxer-briefs. Nice try!   I'm actually not hating on these, although to be honest my eyes have yet to stray away from the bulge. What the hell is he stuffing down there? Inquiring minds want to know! 

I'm still not entirely sold, but when it comes to athletic support these do look pretty sturdy. The only potential problem is that more fabric usually equals more body heat trapped in your hot box. Extra moist! If there is one thing my butt crack does not need any more of, it would be sweat. I strongly recommend a jock strap. Dear David, please get on that. The world needs photos of you in a jock. Thanks!
