Weekly Inspiration - David Gandy
Even though we still have voting going on for our Inspiration Showdown, I thought there was no reason for the Weekly Inspiration to stop, and so for this week, I'm offering English model, David Gandy. Very well established on the modeling scene, he's one of the main faces for Dolce & Gabbana, and Forbes named him one of the Top 5 Most Successful Male Models. And he's got a blog on Vogue.com if you'd like to take a peek into his world. CLICK HERE to view it. There are also tons of pictures, articles, and interviews about him all over the internet about him. Enjoy!

Song of the Week - "Ice Cream Truck" by Cazwell
Finally, the week is coming to an end. For me, it's been a long one, and so I thought I'd put up something fun for the Song of the Week, "Ice Cream Truck" by Cazwell, an American rapper and songwriter. I saw this video a couple months ago and I've been meaning to feature it here because the song has such a fun, sexy, cute vibe, but for some reason I haven't gotten around to sharing it yet. Too much music, not enough time! But, now is Cazwell's time.
With this video for "Ice Cream Truck", I should say if you don't want to see guys dancing in their underwear, shaking and showing their booties, being silly and doing sexually suggestive things, you might want to pass on this one. Okay, I can see some of the confused looks saying, "Why wouldn't we want to see that?!", but hey, I never know who's going to stop by here, so I have to warn the unsuspecting ;-) For those who'd like to learn more about Cazwell, here's the link to his official site: http://cazwell.com/
And now, your Song of the Week, Cazwell with "Ice Cream Truck." And also my don't sue me message, I don't own this video, song, images, or anything therein. Enjoy!

Inspiration Showdown
Okay, my curiosity can't take it. You all might remember in my last Weekly Inspiration post featuring Baptiste Giabiconi, I mentioned possibly doing a poll on which guy has been the favorite of all the Weekly Inspirations. Well, I'm doing it! To the right, if you scroll down, you'll find the poll to cast your vote. They're in alphabetical order by their first names. The only Weekly Inspiration posts I excluded were ones not about a specific guy, like the "Holiday Editions" and "Sweet Moments."
So, here's hoping you all will help satisfy my curiosity! If a lot of people show interest in the poll and vote, maybe it's something I'll do every few months, and at the end of the year, have an ultimate Inspiration showdown with the winners. For this round, I'm running it from the most recent Weekly Inspiration with Baptiste Giabiconi to the oldest with Akihiro Sato, and whoever wins will get a bonus Weekly Inspiration post with new pics.
Hope everyone has fun picking their favorite! And now...get ready...set...vote!
*Winners have since been announced and can be found HERE*

Weekly Inspiration - Baptiste Giabiconi
For this week's inspiration, I offer French model, Baptiste Giabiconi. If what I read about him is true, then Baptiste is currently the Number 1 Male Model in the World.
Now, I don't know how the rankings for models are determined or how often, but when I read about him being the top male model in the world, it made me pause. I wondered, of all the guys I've put up on my blog so far, if it was put to a popular vote, would my visitors here rank Baptiste Number 1? Or would the honor go to another? Edilson Nascimento? Leonardo Corredor? Anthony Gallo? Of course GACKT is the Supreme God of Hotness, and yes, that's an official title. I just gave it to him. But really, it's got me considering putting up a poll to find out of all the Weekly Inspiration guys, who my visitors find the hottest. Hey, I can't help it, I'm curious by nature. And it might be fun! Or, it would be if y'all humor me and vote on it ;-)
And now that I've put that little thought out there, back to Baptiste. Along with modeling, he's also a musician. His first single, "Showtime", is currently available on iTunes. And here's something else about him. He has a website! Hallelujah, a model with a website! You all know how I struggle to find websites for these guys in case anyone wants to learn more about them. And so, here is the official website of Baptiste Giabiconi: http://www.baptiste-giabiconi.eu/ And CLICK HERE FOR HIS FACEBOOK and CLICK HERE FOR HIS TWITTER. Enjoy!

Song of the Week - "Carmen Fantasie" and "La Califfa" performed by David Garrett
I'm putting up two songs for this week, both performed by renowned virtuoso, David Garrett, "Carmen Fantasie" and "La Califfa."
David gets the Song of the Week spot for a few reasons. First, he's my favorite violinist. No matter what he plays, classical to rock covers, you can truly feel the emotion of the music. The first time I heard him play "La Califfa", it honestly brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful. And even after all this time, it still does from time to time. The second reason David's up this week, I'm working on a new story about a classical violinist. He's good inspiration :-) And the third reason, and probably the main one, I'm currently in mourning that David is finally on tour in the U.S., he's coming to a city near me, but I can't go to his concert. Yes, that heartbroken wail you just heard in the distance, it was me.
His newest album, Rock Symphonies, is available at iTunes, Amazon, and tons of other retailers, and his website is loaded with info. If anyone would like to check it out, here's the link to his official site: http://www.david-garrett.com/
As usual, I don't own the music, the video, the imagery, or anything tied to David Garrett, including tickets to his concert. I'll get over it. Really, I will. Probably. But now, without further ado, I present David Garrett. Enjoy!
