Marc Jacobs & Men Who Get Naked for Charity

October 29th, 2007 Posted in Manly Mondays, Nerve.com, Underwear

Yay! Naked men, naked men, naked men. Ah, Marc Jacobs. A couple of days ago, if you dropped by his men’s accessories store at 385 Bleecker Street, your sights could have tasted the sweet eyecandy that is the male nude. Naked men? Here in New York? You know I had to go. I’m not sure if I’ve blogged about this before, but I really have a thing for men without their clothes on. I’m not talking about hardcore erotic videos or anything like that. I mean, you know, tasteful images by Robert Mapplethorpe and other artists who share my deep appreciation for the delicious contours of men’s bodies. There’s nothing inherently tacky, shameful for even sexual about seeing the human body in its most natural state. Male nudity. Yes, give me more.

Not only are the boys in this video gorgeous, they’re also kind of guys who are willing to take the clothes off of their backs for charity. Literally. Proceeds from the Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt sales benefit the Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at NYU’s School of Medicine. Boys, boys, boys. Wanna see the video again and read the full story about my brush against brush with the male semi-nudes at the Marc Jacobs store? Check me out at Nerve magazine’s Blog-A-Log. And, here at funkybrownchick.com, it seems fitting to make the American designer Marc Jacobs and the men who got nude for charity today’s Manly Monday pick. Wanna know more about him? Read the feature article in the November 2007 issues of W Magazine. Wanna see pictures of him? Check out his Out magazine photo shoot. So, there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Marc Jacobs. And, by the way, hope you all like the mini video above!! I shot and edited it myself with my new camera / video thing. Oh, any, by the way, please feel free to use to comment section to tell us: Of the three guys in the video at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store, who do you think is the most beautiful / sexy?

Credits and thanks: Big drippy kisses to the Marc by Marc Jacobs store manager as well as the sexy men in the video for granting me permission to do the interview. Tongue-filled smooches also go out to Magnatune for the courtesy podsafe music. By the way … for the record and for what it’s worth … Marc by Marc Jacobs does have brown men on their t-shirts as well. They didn’t have any more in x-small; so, I got Owen’s shirt instead. (He even signed it for me; what a sweetie.)

    I vote for the manager, the nice fella in the middle! Nice job with the video, too.
    My friend Tess directed me to your blog, and I love your style.


  2. Tess Says:

    I’m going with the guy on the right. But I really think the cutest, sexiest person is the video is you.


  3. Baba Doodlius Says:

    Sorry, I’m not much of a ‘naked guy’ connoisseur. You’ll have to stick with the ladies’ opinions. And you could post some naked lady pics too, you know, for, uh, equal time. You know how difficult it is in our culture to find pics of naked ladies.


  4. AmyD Says:

    Great video! Thanks for showcasing such finely (and fine) aware men and sharing them with us all. ;o)

    As for who I think is the sexiest, well, I always go for the funny man so I’d have to pick the guy in the middle (the assistant manager) because he made me laugh with his “I do this for BAD charities” joke. Doesn’t hurt that he’s adorable, but you know what I mean… Ha!

    And you look adorable yourself, FBC! I loved seeing you in 3-D for once. Yay!!


  5. AmyD Says:

    One question: What kind of Nikon did you get (and take this video with)??


  6. Carolina Pereira Says:

    @ Rachel: I met Tess recently, and she’s great! :)

    @ Tess: Aww, babes, you’re too kind!!

    @ Baba Doodlius: “You know how difficult it is in our culture to find pics of naked ladies.” Ladies? Naked? Never heard of it.

    @ AmyD: No prob. Anything for the folks who read my blog! About the camera, I got a bottom of the line camera / video combo thing. It’s nothing super special or expensive, but I love it because I’ve been without a camera for so long.

    @ Carolina Pereira: New York is definitely land of the beautiful people. The bar is waaay high here.

    @ crazyleprechauns: You said, “You’re a lil bit kooky aint ya.” Yup. I am. And, I never said I wasn’t. ;)


  9. Chris Says:

    No contest the guy in the middle. And humorous too. Would’ve planned a shopping trip to NYC…


  10. funkybrownchick Says:

    Yeah, the manager guy was funny. And, he seems nice, too. If you plan a shopping trip to NYC, definitely go to the Marc Jacobs accessories store! :)
