THE FIFTH ANNUAL TOP TEN BEAUTIFUL MEN LIST

(c) Breeze Vincinz It's that time of year again. The time when every state in the union does it's best Los Angeles impression; the sun is shining, the sky sparkles magnificent hues of blues, the grass beams with an almost fluorescent of green, so bright that no one notices the dog poop… Most major cities are spurred by such natural beauty to host LGBT pride celebrations in which Lesbians, Gay, Bisexuals, Transgenders and their heterosexual counterparts take to the streets in glorious abandon to celebrate the lives, achievements and rock hard abs of our brethren (… and sisteren). Here at the Monthly Breeze we give our own accolades with our very own Beautiful Man List in which we give props to the beautiful men who rarely make it on the Beautiful People lists published by main stream publications (e.g. People, US Weekly). Maybe it has something to do with their lack of fame, or maybe it has something to do with their abundance of melanin and/or cellulite. In either case, we salute each one of you Beautiful Men… whether you are Gay, Straight or the "Tyler Perry" grey in between...
	10. Hemky Madera While most people were laughing at his comic attempts as a killer/bodyguard on the television show "Weeds", I was hoping nobody sitting next to me was paying attention to my growing crotch area every time he bent over or walked around in those wife beaters showing those beefy arms or that hairy chest, or that scruffy beard, or that… oh… well… you know what I'm getting at… and don't look at my crotch right now!
	9. Craig Robinson The pluses: He's from Chicago, he's beefy, he's masculine, he's funny, he participated in a parody that promoted the elimination of Proposition 8 and encouraged gay marriage. The minuses: In my mind I'm thinking he participated because his girlfriend/wife has a flaming homosexual for a brother and she threatened to cut off the pussy supply if he didn't participate and once they break-up, he's back to gay-bashing. But in the meantime… cute!
	8. Kevin Phillips Once upon a time there was a little film called "Pride" whose advertisements displayed a bevy of buff young Black boys dressed in nothing but wet swimming trunks. I sped to the nearest movie theater in hopes of seeing soft core porn about Black Gay Pride. I was disappointed to find it to be about swimming or… something but seriously… you need to see this dude wet, half naked and in swimming trunks.
	7. Matt Kemp Let the record show that my knowledge of sports is minimal though usually I can make a few references if the team has somebody cute on it. For example, Jason Kidd plays for the Dallas Mavericks, Charles Barkley used to play for the Houston Rockets. Matt Kemp plays for… oh… I don't know… I just know he's doing Rhianna right now. Man that girl knows how to pick them!
	6. Common Moving up four spaces from last year's Beautiful Man List is another Chi-town favorite, rapper/actor Lonnie Rashied Lynn, Jr a.k.a. Common. I don't know what it is about this dude but every year it seems like his sexy quotient goes up and up and I always like a non-minstrel show rapper who takes cares of his kids. And whatever training he did to get that six pack in "Just Wright" does not hurt at all...
	5. Gerry Garvin I've never really "hoped" for someone to be gay. Not really. Not with all my gay crushes in all my years… I just let people be people. But Gerry, Gerry, Gerry… you big ole manly straight chef you! At least you are changing people's minds about men in the culinary arts. But if you ever change your mind about… "other" things… info@monthlybreeze.com… dude, hit me up.
	4. DeMarco Majors So not only do I not follow sports, I don't really follow too many television shows. However, Mr. Majors of Logo's "Shirts & Skins" fame has shown up on a few media streams as the heir to John Amaeche's "hot-openly-gay-basketball-player" throne. He seems leveled headed enough and sexy as all hell. Throw in a little more gruff and a couple of tattoos and you'll have...
	3. Shawne Merriman I have yet to see a bad picture taken of this guy! Let's see, what do I know of his sports career… Tila Tequila had him arrested after he supposedly tried to choke her while trying to leave his home and he was in Keri Hilson's "Knock You Down" video as well a Nike Football advertisement. I think he plays football or something. My God… look at those arms!
	2. Gregory Keith Dear Gregory, I have no idea why you are not on the cover of every single men's magazine in this country (abysmal performances on Noah's Arc aside). But you are the sexiest, kindest most interesting person I have seen on television in a really long time. There is no one else like you out there and America needs more of that energy… preferably with your shirt off. Love Always, Breeze
	1. Dhani Jones So the show is called Dhani Takles the Globe and it follows the NFL linebacker around the globe as he learns how to play sports and simultaneously explores the culture of each location. He traveled to ten locations in first season but the one that set many hearts a fire was when he traveled to Phnom Park Penh, Cambodia and learned Pradal Sery with Kru Long Salavorn a.k.a. he was half naked and rolling around on the ground with other beautiful, buff, half naked Cambodian men. There are other parts of the show where he visited a youth center and a Cambodian Televison Network but really… he was half naked and rolling around on the ground with other beautiful and half naked Cambodian men. Add to the fact that he was once charged with a misdemeanor of failure to obey a lawful command after he allegedly refused to stop dancing outside a South Beach night club and you have the absolute PERFECT date on a Friday night...
