We are still in Aug 2010. This is the model for Pistol Pete. This again was at Magic from that year. I notice I didn’t get a lot of pics from this year in Feb or at Curve, but we will change that this year.
The N2N Bodywear Odyssey Pouch Boxer in color Aluminum was an interesting pair of underwear to try. I say that because I found the coloring on the Aluminum to be exciting and fresh, but the fabric to be entirely too stretchy. I enjoyed the styling, but found the waistband to be a plain piece of white fabric. So, this may be the most challenging review I have had the pleasure of writing.
I will offer a bit of advice, be careful while putting these on. The first leg was fine, but my foot caught the stretchy leg of the second and I nearly killed myself falling over. Go ahead and laugh;It is appropriate at this time. After pulling this pair of underwear up and on, I had to actually reach into the front and put myself into the pouch because of the way it was placed and sewn on the front. The crotch fit close and I noticed the seam in the back was enjoying its high positioning.
While wearing this pair of pouch boxers (fancy name for boxer brief I suppose), I went on my normal routine. After teaching a couple of classes at the college, I found the underwear to be supportive and extremely comfortable. The waistband, while plain except for a fabric N2N logo sewn on the front, was comfortable. The leg length hit mid-thigh and was great. The waistband sat below the waist and felt a little low when compared to other boxer briefs.
This pouch boxer is 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex. This makes for a nice feel, but it was a bit stretchy before washing (after washing they fit much better and were true to size Large). The leg length was perfect and the pouch ample (there will be no complaints from the above average crowd with this pouch). Aluminum was the coloring I tried with each pouch boxer receiving their own special coloring due to the dyeing process.
The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website for the Odyssey Pouch Boxer is $22. The price is just right for a specialty pair of underwear that you will not find anywhere else. The construction is fantastic with nice stitching and perfect symmetry. Overall, the N2N Bodywear Odyssey Pouch Boxer is a fairly nice pair of underwear and would be a nice addition to any underwear collection.

We flash forward to August 2010, Just a year ago and here we are with the Go Softwear Model and a familiar face to many of you, Mr. Eric Turner! Eric was modeling for Baskit at Magic
The N2N Bodywear Hula Boy X-Bikini swimwear in Black Lava has a great floral pattern in white, gray, and red on a black background. This bikini has white stitching to add some flair to the waistband and seams. Instead of having one piece of fabric running from front to back, this bikini has a separate pouch sewn into the fabric. This is a great feature as I have found many bikini swimwear items to have an odd feel to them, but nothing odd here. The fabric that runs through the crotch is slim at about two inches across to prevent bunching and pulling.
The pouch is ample and perfect for most guys. The way it is sewn, it provides definition and lift to the front. The seat covers perfectly and looks great. There is a seam that runs between the cheeks to provide more definition to the rear and provides a little lift.
Construction of this bikini is 83% Nylon and 17% Polyester with no liner or draw cord. The stitching is reinforced with the rear and the pouch to be sewn separately.[KN1] There is a fabric N2N logo on the right side of the pouch. Size Large was a great fit and was true to size.
The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website is $33. The price is a tad high for me, but this is for a specialty pair of bikini swimwear. Overall, the N2N Bodywear Hula Boy X-Bikini swimwear in Black Lava is a perfect fit with perfect styling.

This is still more from Feb 2011. This is from Magic and it’s from the now defunct Freemen line. They did some interesting things and were sold at UnderGear for a while as well. This is their model from Columbia if I remember correctly!
The N2N Bodywear Aqua Jock (SJ1) has to be the most erotic pair of swimwear I have ever had the chance of owning. It simply cannot be described how great I felt wearing it. It definitely makes a clear, concise statement about a guy that would wear this to the beach or pool. To wear this jock is to wear it to entice. All attention will be on you when you wear it. If you dare….
in the pair that I tried has a white waistband and pouch while the leg straps are turquoise and silver striped. The white portions are extremely bright, the turquoise is vivid, and the silver is slightly muted, but not quite gray. The leg straps hit below the cheeks and lift while staying put. The waistband has a draw cord that looks really hot if you leave it untied as it is on the outside and not on the inside of the waistband.
This jock is 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex. There is no liner in the jock, which makes the white slightly see through when wet, but not overly so. The white is revealing, but feels extremely sexy against the skin. The pouch is ample and covers perfectly. The leg straps are about an inch and a quarter wide and comfortable.
The price, as listed at the time of this review on the N2N Bodywear website is $34. The price is slightly high for a jock, but it is a specialty pair of swimwear that you will not find many companies creating. The construction is fantastic with reinforced sewing and perfect positioning of the leg straps. Overall, the N2N Bodywear Aqua Jock (SJ1) is simply amazing.

More Magic and Curve for the Brief Distractions! This one is of the Junk UnderJeans boys back in Feb 2010! This was the first show I went to and it’s been just as fun every other time.
Ok, I almost forgot to do the Baskit $12 Tuesday, thanks to the reminder on the computer, in town for Magic/Curve so I have been traveling all day. But today’s pair is a really cool pair. It’s the Fine Lines Square cut, which is super sexy. If you haven’t seen them check them out and pick up a pair or two! Get them at the Baskit Site under Specials!
AussieBum has created this new line called, Flame and rightfully named. As you can probably guess from the photo, these trunks celebrate the man who dares to play with fire! If you’re looking to add big and bold color or simply wanting to incorporate diversity into your underwear collection, you might consider this new collection from AussieBum.
The Flame collection is comprised of three separate fabrics that work well together and provide the ideal fit that you have come to expect from a traditional trunk. These sexy undies have the branded waistband and come in four amazing colors embossed in silicon for a provocative yet comfortable fit. With a blend of fabrics which includes 59% polyester, 31% cotton and 10% Elastane, this construction makes for a breathable, soft and well supported pair of sexy underwear.
On initial testing, I wore this pair all day long and didn’t want to take them off at the end of the day. They look expensive and feel so equally. I never once experienced a problem with them The pair stayed in place without being restrictive. Likewise, the pair includes a double layered standard-size pouch which will go a long way towards longevity.
AussieBum has quickly moved up my underwear chart as one of my top 5 underwear manufacturers. I assure you that you won’t be disappointed with this line. Make sure to check out their additional celebrated colors. They might actually inspire you explore the hot fame that burns from within!

Like all jocks, the back is open and designed for maximum freedom of movement. The side measurement of this brief is around 3 inches (7.6 cm) and the fabric around leg openings hugs your body perfectly without bunching or re-adjusting as you sit, walk or run. The pouch features the Show-It Technology which is a “comfy cup” outlined with super soft elastic that gently provides frontal support and virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, sweating and chafing.

Clothing brand Baskit, best known for premium underwear, swimwear and activewear collections recently joined forces with social networking site Connexion.org to find the perfect ambassadors for its new image campaign that launched this month.
Over 200 Connexion members submitted pictures for consideration and members of the social networking site selected the two finalists through a series of eight rounds of voting, casting over 30,000 votes in an eight week period.
Hailing from the Nation’s Capital, meet Tim Baird, an all-American guy who proved he is more than just a pretty face and a super fit body. His killer smile and charming personality brought the heat to beach during a photo shoot that found him showcasing new styles from this year’s underwear offerings, dangling from cliffs over crashing waves, and braving the freezing water to show off an irresistible swimsuit.
We took a moment to ask the brand’s newest face some questions for a special look into his life and what he fills his baskit with….
Baskit What’s your age and where you are from, Tim?
Tim I’m 27 and right now I live and work in DC. I grew up in Cohasset, Massachusetts, a small town just south of Boston.
Baskit What do you do for a living (aside from modeling)? What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Tim I work full-time for a healthcare non-profit, but as a little kid I always wanted to be a professional soccer player.
Baskit What’s the best way to spend your day off? Extra hours at the gym? On the beach? Hiking?
Tim If I had a totally free day, which never happens, I’d sleep in, then with a little motivation I’d get to the gym and spend the rest of my afternoon by the pool or beach with some friends, music, food and drinks.
Baskit Were you familiar with Baskit before the model search and what drew you to it?
Tim Totally. I have a few pairs and modeled for a Baskit underwear show in DC. It’s sexy, great fitting underwear so entering the contest just made sense for me.
Baskit Is there something you aren’t doing that you wish you were? A sport/skill you were never good at or just haven’t gotten around to learning yet?
Tim I really want to learn how to surf. I need to get my ass to a beach where I can practice!
Baskit What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Tim Never take anything too seriously, including yourself!
Baskit On a random Saturday, what are you wearing?
Tim Shorts, a tank or v-neck and flip-flops. I’ll probably have some kind of necklace on, aviators if I haven’t lost them and Baskit’s, of course.
Baskit If you had a week on a beach and could only take three things with you what would they be (aside from clothes and money?)
Tim Tough question. Definitely music, a volleyball and a surfboard so I can finally pickup surfing!
Baskit Got any other interest tid-bits or pieces of information you’d want to share? Maybe something nobody knows about you?
Tim I speak Spanish, bummed around South America for a year, and have cut my own hair since I was 17.
