Dieux du Stade. *DEAD*
Aug. 16th, 2006 01:09 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Drop everything, friends.
My Dieux du Stade coffee table book and Making of the 2005 Calendar DVD arrived today.
I've been staring at punishing nudes of men all day and haven't stopped uttering the name of Jesus for hours. It calls for the default icon.
What am I going on about?
The French Rugby Team, Stade Français. NAKED. Photos by painter turned photographer, Francois Rousseau.
Apologies in advance for the awful scan lines.

*gruntinggg*

*swooning*


*dead dead dead*


To quote my sister, who's been playing rugby for nearly a decade and a half: There's that whole camaraderie thing you don't get when you're on a posting or on a submarine or whatnot.
o_O No idea, people.
Look at this creature.

Is somebody kidding me?
This, meanwhile, is the beauty with whom I'll be eloping, to Mexico.

They are Italian, and they are brothers. *cries for days*


On the making-of DVD, this one twists his hips ever so delicately, all the while smiling, while waiting for the photo. *throws self off cliff*

*ggggnnnnnaaarrrggghhh*

(this is him from the back)
Then a bunch of portraits.
Look at the eyes on this sonofabitch.

This one is the spitting image of the twenty-three year old Brazilian who followed me home on my 30th birthday. agy&%^$^%ghhas,






I love this one's look. Love it love it love it.



The brothers.


My only complaint, and it is a big one, is that the younger brother's photo is not featured solo in the book, only on the cover.

From the DVD.
His name is Olivier Sarramea. He's French, he's 6'4", and I'm incoherent.


This is her job.

Therefore she wins.
*cries a river*

Date: 2006-08-24 10:08 pm (UTC)Clearly you are goddess for posting this. The little notes were very funny. They made me giggle, which of course attracted the attention of my boyfriend ("It's not porn it's... sport")
Some sport! I suddenly feel the urge to follow French rugby very, very closely.
Is it ok to use these pics for making icons

Date: 2006-08-25 05:36 am (UTC)Do you mind if I point this post out in my LJ, it just seems wrong not to share.

Date: 2006-08-25 07:20 am (UTC)Holy crap. I think I might've just died.
Thank you. A bajillion times over. Yeah. Umm...yeah. Okay. I'm gonna start following a certain French rugby team now. Uh-huh.

Date: 2006-08-25 05:02 pm (UTC)How you can be in possession of this material and not have already spontaneously combusted...it took me an hour just to regain coherency and I don't have the dvd!
Would you mind if I linked to this, as well? If anyone finds out I didn't share this, I'll be lynched.

Date: 2006-08-26 03:46 am (UTC)And as for my not having died from having the material.. I actually have. Plus the book shows full frontal nudity. Some of them have quite lovely looking appendages.
*screams into a paper bag*
Otherwise, all good.

Date: 2006-08-26 01:57 am (UTC)Nyyyyahunnnnguh. *_*
Please excuse me as I save every picture here. For nude drawing purposes or just to ogle I'm not sure, but I'm sure I will be using them.
PS, I'd ask to be added to those questioning the legality of the baby faced one, 'cept I guess he's older than I am after all.

Date: 2006-08-26 03:51 am (UTC)I just keep thinking that anyone who looks like that, is that age, and plays in currently the best rugby team in France with those monster men... is himself not what he appears. *sweats*

Date: 2006-08-26 07:49 am (UTC)I don't think I've ever been prouder to be not only French, but Italian as well.
