Andrew Christian - BLOW New Years _3_How many of us make New Years resolutions each year? I would wager to say that there are quite a few of us. But how do you get them to work? Experts say make them reasonable and measurable.  I say tie your love of underwear into the resolutions. I hear you going “yeah I love undies but how do I tie them into my resolutions?

Well here are a few ways you can tie it in with your resolutions
  1. Get in better shape. How many of us have made this and broke it by January 7th? Well one way to tie underwear in is buy performance underwear for the gym and only wear it to the gym. Brands to consider are UnderArmour, Nike, Papi Cross Roads and Bike
  2. Better presentation skills. Public speaking and presenting can be nerve racking.  I was talking to a friend this week (one I didn’t know liked undies) and he said he wear thongs on days he’s giving a presentations. It takes his mind off giving it and gives him a boost in this co offense for the day. Underwear can change you attitude. Brands to consider Gregg Homme, Joe Snyder and Pistol Pete
  3. Before out going. I myself am a bit of an extrovert so I totally get wanting to be more out going. A few months ago Kyle wrote how his boss told him to put himself out there more. Little did the boss know he was wearing the Andrew Christian (Insert name). I am not saying let it hang free but wear smoke thing sexy. Maybe even wear something fetish related that could be mesh or a jock.  Brands to consider Cellblock13, Modus Vivendi or Timoteo
  4. Step up you fashion. This may sound counter intuitive but not all guys who dress wear great undies. To me there is nothing worse than a guy who looks like the stepped off the pages of GQ but only to wear cartoon boxers or something else as rediculous.  Wear something classic that shows your personality and Style. You don’t have to go crazy but great underwear is tha icing on the cake. Brands to consider 2(x)ist, C-IN2, Calvin Klein or Diessel
  5. Spice up the bedroom.  Sometimes the bedroom suffers when we get busy. We get in a rut and need to get out. So we plan evenings where is all about something new with our partners.  So we step out of our box and wear something super hot that we wouldn’t normally wear. I hope many of you would spice it up ona reg basis. That could be something skimpy, small or super fun. Brands to consider are Clever, Pikante, Andrew Christian and N2N Bodywear
These are a few suggestions to incorporate underwear into you New Years resolutions. We would love to hear how you guys incorporate undies into your resolutions

Many of us out there don’t want to wear plain solid underwear. We want to show off who we are through our underwear. We do this through unorthodox colors (pink and purple), patterns, prints and cuts. I feel underwear is just another extension of our personality. Very few see it but its awesome when someone catches a glimpse of your undies and ask “What are you wearing?” They ask because they are intrigued by it and want to find out more.

Frank Dandy is one of those companies that just get underwear is fun and creates amazing prints and patterns. Sometimes they are over the top and other times they are perfect. But, what’s over the top for me may be the perfect pair for you. Underwear is subjective and it’s great we have so many choices. Here are a few of the prints I think you guys should know from Frank Dandy.

Beast Boxer – Dark Navy

Big Bro Stipe – Red

These are just a few of the prints. I hope you guys check them out and they are on sale here in the States. So you should be able to find them easily! If not find them at Dapper Drawers.

 

Let’s face it many of us, including me, make a vow every year to get into better shape. Whether we keep up with it or not is up to us! One way I have found I keep my resolutions is to buy new underwear just for working out. Then after I see results allow myself to buy more. The Papi Corss-Roads line would be a great set of underwear to wear to the gym. Not only would it motivate you to get into shape but you would look great doing it.

The line is as they say “Take your underwear to the next level of endurance and comfort with the crossroads performance series. The sleek moisture wicking fabrication offers a smooth feel, but is built to keep up with you even during the most strenuous activities”

The line has a camo and solid section but I think the camo is way cooler! It’s not a crazy camo print but super fun and if the undies show under your shorts why not give them something to look at rather than basic black or white.

The line consists of a Compression short, Jock (in camo and solid), Euro brief, Muscle Jersey, Brazilian Trunk (solid and camo), and Boxer Brief.

Compression short – Camo

Jock – Solid

papi cross roads jock

Euro Brief – Solid

Muscle Jesey – Camo

Brazilian Trunk – Camo

Boxer Brief – Solid

All of these should be at Macy’s or on the Papi website. This line I LOVE. I do plan on getting some of these for the new year. The design will keep you cool and comfy when working out or doing cross fit. So put this line on your list if you plan on getting new underwear for the new year.

Are you a fan of Baskit? Want to get some great undies after the holidays? Maybe you didn’t get any for Christmas or maybe you just need a few good pairs. The pair this week is the Ribbed Brief. “The Ribbed collection provides great style with our wide ribbed fabric design and superior support while leaving you a bit “free” and less constricted due to the elasticity of the ribbed fabric construction. Great for the guy who likes some breathing room without sacrificing support.” Find this and more on the Baskit site under Specials

9370_6_Are you a fan of Football Jocks? They have been around for as long as I can remember. Each brand puts their own spin on the jock. Some so a lace up string down the pouch while others keep it at the top. The jock itself can be a regular jock with the lace or a more fashion jock!

Andrew Christian has made a fashion jock with the laces at the top. The jock has around a 1 inch waistband with a pouch featuring the Show-It Technology. If you’re not familar with the Show-It technology. It has a ring you slide your business through and it gives you a lift and enhances what you have. If your’e not a fan of this type of enhancement, we suggest you don’t buy it. If you don’t mind it then this is the jock for you.

The Jock is available in a few colors. They are Fuchsia, Navy and Royal. The waistband has what reminds me of a lace up design of board shorts. Its definitely an interesting design for sure. I think if I did get one I would get the Fuchsia one, I mean a pink jock what’s not to love about that! I have never had a pink jock, I think I have pink in every other color but a jock!

If you are interested in this pair you can pick it up at the Andrew Christian site for $23.93. Make sure you check for sales going on!

Its time to be thinking of Valentines Day Underwear. You maybe saying, but we just left Christmas/Holiday season we need to relax a little and then think about Valentine’s Day after New Years. I will counter to that, Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it!

BodyAware is one of those companies that are synonymous with sexy underwear. They always make something skimpy and fun that will show off everything. They just released the WOW! Mesh Tanga. If you’re not familiar with the term it’s more of a string bikini cut. The front is a pouch and the back is not quire full coverage. But hey you’re wearing mesh so you won’t have full coverage!

The pair is made out of a fishnet/herringbone type mesh. Which mean’s it’s going to have larger openings and won’t be 100% see through like some mesh out on the market. If you are a big fan of bikinis and mesh, this is the pair for you to wear out on a date or skip the date and just wear it at home. It’s super sexy and fun. They say the material is super light and comfortable. Knowing BodyAware I would believe them. The fabric super lightweight and should fit you amazing without binding and driving you crazy.
The fabric is Nylon/Spandex blend. Which should fit you pretty well and conform to your body. The pair just comes in two colors, black and white. It would be awesome to have this pair in a red. Not just for Valentine’s Day but I think red is one of the sexiest colors of underwear. Something to be said about seeing a guy in a red bikini.

I hope you guys will check this pair out if you want something super sexy for Valentine’s Day. Your significant other may just flip out when they see you in this. It’s easily worn under a suit, jeans or by itself (I don’t think i need to elaborate more on that one). It retails for $16.50 at the BodyAware site. Also check out some of the other pairs they have as well. You may find they have a lot of great underwear if you have never shopped there before!

1229-HEATWAVE-Ambiance_HR

I will admit to having a thing for sneakers. It’s one of my passions just like underwear. It isn’t one I have had all my life but in the last 10 years. Just something about wearing really bright fun sneakers I love! So when Gregg Homme came out with the new Heatwave and they said it was inspired by the shoes the World Cup players wore. I was intrigued.

We have guys out who love sneakers, sox and more. It spans across all guys. I used to work with a guy who loved sneakers and wore I think a different pair to work just about every day. Always bright fun colors. I always wondered if he did the same with underwear but something tells me he didn’t. Now with all the great colors you can match underwear and sneakers. Some of you are going thats crazy but there are a few reading this going “HELL YEAH”

One of the newest lines Gregg Homme has released is the Heatwave. It’s, as I said above, inspired by the amazing shoes the World Cup players wore while playing soccer. It’s really cool to find where underwear designers get inspiration to make new pairs. So this really blew my mind when I found out. They use only two colors in this collection. A pink and a neon green/yellow. This means you can only get it in two color combinations, Pink with green trim or Green with pink trim. Either way you go its a really fun pair.

You maybe wondering what style they offer in the line. They do a biker, jock, brief and Boxer. The last there are cuts you now form Gregg Homme. The first is a boxer made out of sheer material. The pouch is solid but the rest of the body is a mesh with stripes made into the mesh. It’s not wide stripes but small stripes that run around the pair. Its really amazing what Gregg Homme does with fabric. They have to be one of if not the most innovative company pushing the boundaries on fabric. Each year I see the new lines and I just get blown away.

Its not the fact they are trying new materials but that the materials fit and feel so amazing. Underwear is all about comfort and I can’t recall a pair of Gregg Homme that didn’t give me comfort all day. Next, when you use

Many of us are about to start a new year and propose a resolution to get into better shape! If  you do make this resolution you will need underwear for the gym. Now, you could wear a jock but not everyone wants to wear a jock. The C-IN2 Grip Lite line is made for being active so it would be a great choice.

The first thing is the pair is similar to classic white brief. Many guys want underwear they can wear to work and the gym. When they take their pants off they don’t want to get strange looks. We call that the “gym factor.”

The Grip Lite is made from a fabric that dries 5 times faster than regular fabric. The collection is made of an extremely breathable single-layered cotton blend with a reinvented waistband lined with silicone that comfortably grips the body. This line is made for an active guy. It is available in both white and black.

One of the most innovative things about the Grip line is the pouch. They have the new design that was first released with the Grip line. The seam is half way up the pouch in a semi circular seam that creates a pouch that will give you support during any work out.

The Grip Lite line also has a Army Trunk, Long Sleeve Crew and Short Sleeve Crew. All are made with the new generation fabric that wicks water away. The only colors available are black and white. Find these at the C-IN2 website.

UNB Model Profile featuring Scott Cullens

IMG_9503

In our continuation of the Model Profile Series, Underwear News Briefs sat down to talk about the current career of Model Scott Cullens.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Scott:  My first modeling gig was a television commercial for Bass Pro Shops when I was about 18 years old.  I was wearing swimwear on my first commercial job which is kind of funny since nothing has changed after all these years – I’m still standing in front of the camera with barely anything on!

Kyle:  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Scott:  I never sought to be a model, I have always owned a business and did the modeling on the side.  Modeling is a great motivator to keep in shape and not fall into the habit of becoming engulfed in work and getting lazy.

IMG_9502

Kyle:  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Scott:  I booked more jobs in my 40’s than at any previous time. I hired a trainer and a nutrition consultant/bodybuilding coach when I was first hired to shoot with Mark Henderson.  I decided that I wanted to take my physique to a new level and look the best I had at any previous age.  I was on a mission and I followed the advice of my trainers intensely and it paid off.

Kyle:  You look fantastic so it has definitely paid off!  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Scott:  It is difficult to say which shoot has been my favorite.  I have made so many great friends along the way, met some talented artists and stayed in some amazing cities.  I really couldn’t name one in particular but every one of them, as I think about it now, brought some cool memory, friend or photo.

Kyle:  That is great that there is so much personal that can be taken away from each shoot.  I can imagine the experience can not be described in words.  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

IMG_0200Scott:  The most challenging shoots have been the ones where I was required to be aroused for several hours during the shoot.  The dieting, water and carb depletion makes it just a little tough to be aroused and it is already not a sexual environment.  It’s even more difficult when you are outside and the water is cold, or the sun is blazing or beach sand is in your crack or some other forces of nature are against your weiner and there is no media to view.  This is a silly subject – next question. LOL

Kyle:  What goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots?

Scott:  The only thing that goes through my mind before a “revealing” shoot is “did I time the diet and water loss correctly.” It’s an exact science and a few hours can be the difference between hot and not.

Kyle:  And how about most embarrassing shoot?  

Scott:  Most embarrassing shoot situation was during a video shoot I did with Quentin Elias and Robert Gonzales in Los Angeles. They put us all in silver shorty shorts and made us shake our asses in the camera in unison to the track.   

Kyle:  Haha!  That is hysterical but I am sure you were not laughing at that moment, especially with sand in places you didn’t know sand could go!  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Scott:  I have worked with many of the best artists and I am privileged they have included me in their art.  However, there are still a few that I would love to work with and my agents have already either arranged or are in the process of coordinating either work or testing.  I am quite sure I am the world’s oldest fitness model and I will work hard to keep my shit together as long as the interest remains.  We will see what is next but lately I have put more energy into media outside print.

Kyle:  You don’t look like the oldest and regardless of age, you are right there with the rest in terms of physique and ability.  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Scott:  I am not sure there is anything that would surprise my fans.  I do not compartmentalize my life for different social media sites or with my fans.  If you Google Scott Cullens, you will see many of the luxury houses that I built and designed for my company Palm Pacific Construction along with television, movie, and print projects.  All of my posts are public, all of my comments are public, all of my projects are posted public and all of my pictures are public.  I am eager everyday to build things whether it is a house or my body – I love creating.  So I look at everything I create as one big project. I don’t hide anything, I don’t censor my life so I look better to fans, new clients or online readers.  I am a very happy guy and the best gift I can give is to be open and authentic.

522eaa7ce0864

Kyle:  Thank you for that.  We appreciate seeing a man for all he is.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Scott:  I keep in pretty good shape all year long because I am always only a few weeks away from shooting something.  However, I definitely have a strict carbohydrate, cardio and training routine days prior to a project.

Kyle: And I know you have one so what is your favorite cheat meal?

Scott:  Pizza is my Kryptonite.

Kyle:  What is the craziest pair of underwear you have worn?  

Scott:  I was just recently shot in black lace underwear. They looked like girl’s panties on the set table. Once I got them on and squeezed all my assets into them, they looked pretty cool. 

Kyle:  Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Scott:  I have an underwear fetish. I probably have a couple hundred pairs of drawers, mostly briefs and about 40-50 jocks. Everything in life goes well when you have on good underwear!
