Today’s Brief Distraction is from Clever! This is Cody and Juan in the Clever Dragon and Skull & Roses swimsuits. They are still some of the most interesting and fun suits of the season. We hope you have enjoyed our Brief Distractions and we have one more from the guide tomorrow!
Monday night (here in the U.S.) aussieBum streamed live their photo shoot. If you are a fan of our Facebook page, we posted a link to the aB LiveStream channel. aB really knows how to use social media to their advantage. The feed was a little testy for a bit. It would play then cut out and pick back up. I watched for about 30 mins at the beginning.
It is a great way to see how a photo shoot is conducted in the underwear/swimwear business. Very few companies actually will show you the behind the scenes of a shoot in this detail. There have been others who have done this but aB has started doing this on a regular basis.
The shoot was for a DNA Magazine cover. As you see form the picture here they will be releasing a singlet soon! We will have all the information about it when it is released. Next time they do a stream we hope to post it before it goes live!
Today’s Brief Distraction is from Pistol Pete. As you can tell we took plenty of pictures to share with you guys. We will be posting them on our Facebook page after everything is posted! This is from our Gold Sponsor Pistol Pete! This was one of the fun pics we took, it didn’t make the guide but we think it would be a great one to share! Enjoy!

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Pistol Pete. This is another picture taken for our UNB 2012 Swimwear Guide. Juan is wearing the Windjammer Brief. We will have a few more pics form our guide. We hope you enjoy!
Do you want a pair of swimwear that is unique? Something not everyone out there will have? If you said yes you need to check out the Clever Skull & Roses swimsuit we just featured in our 2012 Swimwear Guide. I initially saw this suit in February in Vegas. I was told this part of the clever line was inspired by the day of the dead celebrations.
I think it’s a pretty cool print and not one you are likely to see on everyone out there. Prints usually have less people wear them, especially in swimwear. However, this pair would definitely be a conversation starter!
Find these are your favorite swimwear retailer!

Pistol Pete has a very big swimwear collection, what has been some of the inspirations for coming up with them?
In each collection, we research fashion trends from all over the world. We strive to cover the full spectrum of styles and fabrications. Each collection offers a variety of sporty, retro, and classic looks.
Belts have been big in this collection what made you include them on suits?
Pistol Pete’s signature style is the belted swimsuit. We have always been incredibly fond of vintage looks from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s and we wanted to bring that clean sophistication from those eras into each collection.
What suits have been your best sellers so for this season?
Without a doubt, our belted suits such as the Nouveau, Titan, Cruise, and Aviator. In addition, our sporty swimsuits such as the All Star Lace Ups and Jock color block suits are big hits.
What should guys look for when buying new swimwear for this year?
Unique pieces, colors, and prints that truly convey their own style. The colors/prints, as well as, the length of a swimsuit says a lot about a person’s personality.
Are there trends you are seeing in swimwear this year and into next year?
Colorful plaid prints. And swimwear with clever accents such as hardware, charms, pipings, and zippers.

Just when you thought the videos could not get any more erotic, this one paints a new fantasy that will leave you dreaming of muscles and paint dripping. The video begins with a group of boys in an art studio, waiting for the nude male model (Brandon Wertz) to show up and drop his robe. Once the robe hits the ground you can see the lust in all of their eyes. The instigator of the group (Jose Valdivia) cannot help himself and he is the first to go up to Brandon for a closer look. As Kat Graham sings “Put Your Grifitti On Me,” Jose takes his chances and starts to finger paint Brandon’s chest. Of course it is only a matter of time before the two best friends (fan favorites Steven Dehler and Quinn Jaxon) and new AC model Johnathan Myers join in the fun. Jose notices that one of the guys (Marcel Cruz) is being shy, so he goes over to lure him into the action.
As they playfully paint each other’s bodies the heat index reaches a whole new level. Body paint drips off of their gorgeous bodies as they give each other a rub down that will have all of you begging “Put Your Graffiti On Me.”

Today’s Brief Distraction and the ones for the next week or so will be ones we took for the 2012 Swimwear Guide! Today we feature Pistol Pete on Cody! This is the Zipline Midcut in Red. We hope you enjoy these up coming Brief Distractions.
Firs thing I have to do before we get into the guide is thank the awesome sponsors above! Pistol Pete – Gold Sponsor, Clever/Vuthy & Croota – Silver Sponsors and Good Boy Gone Bad and UnderGear as Bronze sponsors! Without them this guide would not have taken place. Next, I have to thank our photographer Brian from Seven Continents Photography and our Models Cody, Christian and Juan. Our sponsors allowed us for the first time to hire models and do a shoot all ourselves. It is a big learning process and things had bumps (models falling out the week before), but we carried on and pushed forward. We think we did a great job for our first attempt and we will learn more each time!
We had over 60 suits and a full day by the lake and then a re-shoot by a pool this past weekend. It has been a blast and I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you get some great swimsuits this year! Our Models are Cody, Juan and Christian. Please check out our Videos on YouTube Enjoy the Guide! BTW, don’t forget to check individual size charts!

This review is for the N2N Bodywear Signature Jock. From the start let me say that this is one of the best jocks I have ever owned. But, before we get there let’s talk a little about the pair. The sizing was pretty much spot on, it fit very well and didn’t bunch or bind. Made out of 90% cotton and 10% spandex with really fit well and moved with me through out the day.
My initial impression of the jock had me worried. I do love a great pouch in underwear and when I saw this one, I wasn’t sure how it would fit. I shouldn’t have worried at all about it. It gave me really great support and the leg straps stayed in place. It would be a great pair to wear to the gym.
This was put through its pace at work. I don’t have too stressful job right now, but I want to wear this hiking to see how it will holds up. But it has been one of my favorite pairs. It just reinforces that N2N knows how to make underwear for men. They take time in designing each piece and it fits amazing.
I loved the low profile of the jock. It has a regular waistband of a brief (1 ¼ inch). The pair also had a great pouch or as they say a contour pouch. As much as I didn’t think it would stretch it did and just felt awesome. Lastly, my only complaint would be making it in more colors. Currently it’s only available in Black, White and Yellow.
