Topless Tuesdays: TRAVIS KRAFT

Here at DyerTimes we fully embrace the life of the busy multi-tasking, multi-faceted individual. In the past we've featured models that also were actors or physical trainers. This week our sexy smorsel is an actor, model, and director! The holy trinity!
Travis Kraft was born in Iowa and grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota. As a child he watched a lot of movies - particularly action movies - and at the tender age of 13 he decided he was going to move to Hollywood and be an actor. Being sensible, he decided to wait until he graduated from school before making his Hollywood journey.
While in high school Travis took up wrestling and was ranked #1 in the nation. He won 3 All-State Championships and was invited to train at Olympic Training Center. He attended Eastern Michigan University where he continued to wrestle and studied psychology and film.
Travis finally moved to Hollywood and has been booking work ever since. He's been featured in Cosmopolitan and Harper's Bazaar and modeled for Jockey and Guess. He also has a passion for cooking and directed an instructional cooking video, Salo-Salo.

GLEE Mashup: Worth Loving!
I'm in love. Like seriously.
It's not like before... I thought it was love with Lost. And Supernatural turned out to be a silly fling. Smallville still brings back memories but Glee is forever!
If you haven't checked out Glee it's definitely worth a viewing. It's campy. It's certainly not going to be ground-breaking but it is every bit entertaining.
Take for instance the most recent episode with the girls versus boys challenge. See video below. I love Glee because it brings back my Midwestern show choir memories. It was sort of like this but not quite as kewl. I even choreographed a beauty pageant in rural Wisconsin. My song constraint was Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. Them were the days...
Topless Tuesdays: NATE GILL

This week we are featuring a San Francisco native who was born the same year that the Simpsons start playing on television. Do the math. One of my best friends is currently seeing a guy who he just calls Young Buck. I think I'll call our featured model - who's actual name is Nate Gill - Young Buck for the remainder of this post. It seems only fitting...considering he can't even legally drink yet.
"Young Buck" is represented by Major Model Management in New York City. He is 6'1" and wears a whopping size 13 shoe. That's big! He was born a day after me - on April 3rd - just 9 years later.
At the tender age of 19 he signed with Major Model Management and shortly after that he was shot by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch. That was quickly followed by an editorial in V with Beyonce. He walked as an exclusive model for Calvin Klein in Milan and Givenchy in Paris last Fall. He's currently working on the DKNY Fall jeans ad campaign.

Topless Tuesdays: JISLAIN DUVAL

Pour votre plaisir nous présentons un modèle sexy de Québec. While I strive to bring a diversity of models to your attention each week I am unsure if we have had much representation from our fair neighbors to the north. I'm excited to introduce Jislain Duval.
Jislain is from L'Acadie, Quebec. He has done a lot of work for clothing campaigns but his most recent Nivea commercials really put him on the map. This may be painful for you hair worshipers (Sorry all you otters and bears!) but you can view the clips HERE. HERE. AND HERE.
He is represented by major model management companies all over the world. In Montreal he works with Folio. While in the states he uses Wilhelmenia, in Paris it's New Madison and the list goes on and on. Jislain stands at 6'1" and wears a size 10. If you couldn't tell from the shots above or below he's got beautiful green eyes. Just like me...

Fag Hag: Week In Review
OMG! Fag Hag is back! Where has this bitch been? Well, to hell and back, darling. The important part of that statement is the fact that I am, indeed, back.
What have we missed? Too much.
I know this is old. I do. It’s just, I cannot get over it. I love it so much; I made my dad watch it when he randomly stopped over one day. His review, “He’s really good. He’s got those moves down!” Indeed.
All I can say is, please watch Glee. It is magical and Mathew Morrison singing Bust A Move AND the Thong Song?!! Speechless.
And because one just isn’t enough; this is effing adorable, and slightly disturbing.
He’s run through all of his moves by the 1:30 mark, if you’re short on time.
Are you a chocoholic? I am. Are you lazy? I am. If so, check this business out, it may just be what us lazy-chocoholics have been waiting for. Thanks to Christy for the info!
Movie Reviews:
IN THEATERS Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs – Is this movie geared toward children? I don’t know. Did I see it with a 6 year old? Yes I did. Who enjoyed it more? It’s a tossup, but I will say, our friend Amy still cannot get over the line “I’m surrounded by a bunch of man-eating chickens”. It was a great movie. You don’t have to see it in the theater, but if you do, go to one where you can eat a whole meal. You’ll thank me later. A
ON DVD The Proposal - Funny. Sorry, it was. There were a couple of cheesy parts for sure. If you’ve seen the movie you know what I’m talking about, but overall, it was exactly what I wanted it to be. To be fair, I watched this movie with a bestie, taco dip, pizza rolls and peanut butter cup/ chocolate chunk cookies. It’s hard to go wrong under those circumstances. B+
ON DVD Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - Meh. I’m finding Jennifer Garner harder and harder to believe. She just does not convince me that she’s anyone other than Jennifer Garner. Truth be told, same goes for Matthew McConaughy. If you’re bored or avoiding say housework, this is fine. C
I also MUST recommend Charlaine Harris’ The Sookie Stackhouse stories.
Yes, I know – I’ve blathered about True Blood. I love it. Yes. But the books, OMG, they are amazing. I can’t say better, but I can say worth every moment you will spend reading them. Every.
Check it out, not a single celebrity gossip mention! Just you wait for next week.
Brokeback Yankees: A Rod Gets A Handful
There are times when even the most anti-sports person has to acknowledge that there are occasionally some highlights to watching a game.
Take for instance this week when my future ex-boyfriend superstar Alex Rodriguez raced up to get a handful of his equally hot teammate, Derek Jeter's, gluteus maximus. That's two hands fully immersed...
Perhaps this might shed some light on the A Rod:Jeter sleepovers... Oh, if there was ever a time to be a fly on the wall.
Topless Tuesdays: MARCILIO LOBO

It feels like it's been weeks since the walls of DyerTimes have been covered with the images of a scantily clad Brazilian. For those of you that were anxiously holding your breath you take a good whiff of Marcilio Lobo.
I'm quite fond of Marcilio - particularly because you don't often see male models with facial hair. For those of you familiar with Portuguese you'll probably have already noticed this but Marcilio's last name is actually quite fitting for his look - it means "wolf". I'm sure many of you wouldn't mind getting bitten by him.
Marcilio is represented by Unique in Brasilia. There seems to be a void when it comes to much information about Mr. Lobo. After finding a Portuguese English dictionary I know some minor info. Marcilio stands at 1m88 - which is 6' 2" - and he wears a 10.5 shoe. Or as they measure in Brazil - a 43.
I hope you enjoy. And a big thanks to Made In Brazil for initially bringing my attention to this sexy beast.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Elmo: America's Furry Couple

This year is Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary. To celebrate all the great years this season will see a plethora of celebrities joining the furry gang of Sesame Street. It also marks the coming out of America's new favorite furry couple, Jake Gyllenhaal and Elmo. Aren't they just darling together?
Fag Hag: Happy Fag Hagoween
Happy Halloween weekend my pretties (all of you ghosts and goblins and singlet wearing weirdos included)!
What have you missed this week? Frankly, I have no idea. But I DO know what I missed this week and that was a new episode of Glee. Stupid baseball. If you STILL have not seen Glee, you should use this week (and the weeks to come while the playoffs continue) to catch up.
In lieu of Glee, I was able to watch Modern Family as it aired. That show is brilliant. Cam is my favorite followed closely by Gloria. If you’re not watching well, that’s just wrong because it’s hilarious.
I am sorry to say I did not watch a single movie this week. Not even a Lifetime made for tv movie. I did however finish the book Eat, Pray, Love. Judge me all you want. I waited like 5 years after Oprah recommended it to even pick it up. So um, I am not a member of the Harpo cult. I haven’t even watched an episode of the show in years. YEARS people!
At any rate, I really enjoyed this book. I can see how it may not work for everyone but it worked for me. And I’m grateful to have read it before the movie with Julia Roberts' giant mouth hits screens.
This is for my mom – Taylor + Taylor = too cute for words!
And since we still have 7 - yes 7! months until True Blood returns I must enjoy what I can.
Also? I’m dressing as Sookie Stackhouse for Halloween! Not even kidding. I am totally entertained by my costume choice. Now if only I could convince that special someone to agree to be Tara. Please? What if I promise to find you your own version of Eggs?
