Dieux du Stade. *DEAD*

[perseph2hades]

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.

I'm in paradise.





*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* elaur, please be so kind as to arrange the funeral service for my deceased self.

Wow. Thank you. Just, thank you.

Are you aware that several of these images violate your agreement with photobucket?

[kalpurna.livejournal.com]

Oh NOES! Some of the pictures are gone! I... I think I might cry. Is there any chance you might upload a zipped file of them to a file sending service?

[roniabirk.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, absolutely. I see Photobucket is being a pain. If you need somewhere to host these that won't get them taken down for Terms of Service blah blah, let me know.

if you like hot nude rugby players, you should come down here. I mean, the national sport is rugby (that and drinking) and we have a National Nude Day as well. =] Not that you have to wait for Nude Day for people to get nude. Just walk into a sports bar in any college town on a Saturday night and you have about an 85% chance of seeing guys "nude up" in the bar.

*praying* Dear Jesus, my 30th birthday is tomorrow and if I could just get the guy from picture number 8 for just 15 minutes...

*fans self* Thank you so much for sharing these...I was directed here via rushlight75's LJ.

I've noticed that you haven't minded others linking to this, so I'm going to be very presumptious and link it from my LJ; if you do mind, just let me know. I'm afraid if I don't share this, I just might get in trouble.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and sacrifice in bringing these beautiful men to us...;)

They look like Lord, Have Mercy wrapped up in Save Me, Jesus!

I'd fight you for the guy with whom you intend to elope, but I live with one that looks a great deal like him.

What a wonderful world that has such lovely creatures in it!
