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.

.... these aren't men, they're gods.

I think we should start a cult. Featuring lots of naked marble statues in their likeness....

Re: Okay...

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

Fucking hell, yes.

I still can't believe what I'm seeing.

[dubh-ceol.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Sweet. Gods. Above.

*keens, then keels over*

Riiiiiiight??

Memories! Memories! *clicks frantically*

[doeeyedgrim.livejournal.com]

You just had to do this picspam today, didn't you? After I spent a good half hour of Dido & Aeneas rehearsal being tossed over a burly sailor's shoulder? Need I mention that said sailor is played by a gymnast a scant year older than me? A gymnast with incredible blue eyes?

*lusts*

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

You are all kinds of screwed! lol!!

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Italian brothers: where classical Roman statues come from

*pants*

This is her job.

I am officially firebombing my high school career counseling office for not informing me of this option. *cries*

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

All they ever talk about is law! Medicine!

Sweet jaysus..... *resists the urge to lick the screen*

Can you imagine? Breathing the smell of his skin alone. How do you not just stick the tip of your tongue out and flick a little.

[sildil]

These are gorgeous, not only because the guys are SOOOOOOO hot, but the photos are exquisite!

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

It was a wonderful thing, that he tried his hand at photography from painting. I just want to lie down and stare. Oh wait.

Heh.

[seanlily.livejournal.com]

ok, wow!
must check out this whole rugby thing
much drooling

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

Nuff said.

I used to watch their world cups just for the opening dance the All Blacks would do. Thiiiiighs.

[afra_schatz]

I'd come to your funeral to thank you for these but I'm quite dead myself right now. Sorry.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

Do not apologize. For we two have survived many, many hours of perving together. Aand if we both die here, then all hail the sport of rugby.

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

You're evil, you know this?

I made a LJ header with the 2004 guys. The one reclining and holding a rugby ball in front of him is my absolute favorite, ever.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

He is perfection. His curves and straight lines (that stomach! guhh!!) are perfection. And the quiet expression on his face..

*stops talking*

[the-reverand.livejournal.com]

Eeee! I was just eyeing this book (again!) yesterday! It's been in my wishlist. ^ ^ Lord, what lovely players! I have to say the brothers, your fiance, and the guy who pointedly undresses down to just his shirt... those are my favorites. oO

THank you for the scans!

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

*cries* I can't be allowed to think of the brothers.

your fiance

*laughs* *cries* Can somebody please tell him?

The one undressing who looks like a kid, I'm sure has gotten someone in very big trouble in his lifetime. *squeezes eyes shut*

[aislinn.livejournal.com]

good.god.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

I have no ovaries left.

[ktnb]

o_O

Well, I'm going to be pretty much useless for the rest of the day. Holy hell.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

My whole day yesterday was written off.

[lhuneldaiel.livejournal.com]

*tries...to...breathe...*

When did athletes become such sluts??? Frack, I'm almost hyperventilating.

That young boy, the blonde young boy, GUH! I could just stare at that for hours.

Thank you for sharing the perv!

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

When did athletes become such sluts???

Is that a trick question? Because..

That jailbait blonde boy is the dictionary definition of trouble. I mean, seriously. Mindfuck.

[elflady-2001.livejournal.com]

O.M.F.G.!!!

*dies*

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

It's insane. INSANE.

[ladycele.livejournal.com]

Jesus. I think I swallowed my tongue.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

You might need it though. For exploration.

[ezzvaldez.livejournal.com]

You show us these things in order to have company in the afterlife.

Nnnnnggggghhhh.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

It's why I have a permanent suite in Hades. No point in paying guest by guest. I'll go broke.

[circestale.livejournal.com]

Oh, great... now I'll never make it through work today.Mommy. *meep*

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

*cuddles you tightly* I hope you made it! I got the package after my work day, so it didn't matter that I was useless for the rest of the day. I've never pawed so much.

[bkm5191.livejournal.com]

jesus fuck, ok rugby? not so much like this in nz. i played I know.

We have an expression over home.

"fucking oath it's for when there is no WORD just NO WORD that covers what you feel.

fucking oath I only got half way through. I need a minute before i look at the rest.

bits of me are trembling

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

My jaw hung permanently open the whole half of yesterday. It was as if I'd finally gone mad and was seeing exactly what my fevered mind wanted to see. Because which team have I ever heard of taking it off for the camera? With bodies like that? *sits on the floor*

[mlyn.livejournal.com]

*tears rolling down face*

Oh... *trails off and stares*

Okay, the Italian brothers? Anyone else thinking Michelangelo's David?

Look at this creature.

He looks like he's 14. I am so, so dirty.

And *they're* dirty too. How did they get so dirty, Persephone? Did they play in the dirt? *lip quiver* Did they roll around in the dirt all naked and tangled up?

I'm going to make an icon of #6 so Haleth has an image to use for Albert Laurent's ass.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

Anyone else thinking Michelangelo's David?

Perfect. Right down to the way his brow is set. *clutches hair*

The 14 year old.. What's eating my brain is that fact that he's playing for the best team in France.. with those monster men, and hold his own. With an ass and thighs like that, he's got to be a monster himself. *is dead from the contrast*

How did they get so dirty, Persephone? Did they play in the dirt? *lip quiver*

*points and laughs while crying*

The ass shot will make Haleth happy. Yes.

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us Sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Jesu Cristo, woman! I don't think I've ever laid my eyes on more beautiful skin and perfect asses in one place, in my life. You, my dear woman, win the prize!

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

Wait! I missed this: This one is the spitting image of the twenty-three year old Brazilian who followed me home on my 30th birthday.

And??????

[http://users.livejournal.com/_tayler/]

Here by way of killerweasel

OMG...those boys are amazing!!
I think I need a cold shower before I spontainiously combust!!
GADS!
Thanks so much for posting them!

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I hope the shower helped you. I find once I dry off, I'm back to sqaure one.

[andolinn.livejournal.com]

I am astonished - simply astonished - that you were able to steady your hands enough to use the scanner. Goddess, the torture you put yourself through so we can partake of the hotness... *smushes you*

These men have so got to be French, because, because, because...where exactly are their hands during this shoot???!!! How much elicit 'encouragement' are they giving eachother?! *whimpers*

The one with the football and the tile backdrop. How the hell did they get his ass so perfectly rounded? Who knew they made men like that?

*cough* You had a 23 year old Brazilian who looked like that follow you home and you let him leave?!!! That's what the Cave is for. You chain him up in the Cave for future use.

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

My scanner and I had a very tough night. She couldn't spread her legs wide enough to scan some of those shoulders breadths. I had to parttake in a lot of coaxing.

In the DVD, they were playing rugby naked. Throwing the ball to each other and grappling. *passes away*

How the hell did they get his ass so perfectly rounded? Who knew they made men like that?

*sighs in resignation*

That's what the Cave is for.

*weeps* This was before I knew of the existence of the Cave. But I had to send him home. Too much like a drug.

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

OMG!

*stares*

*drools*

*rolls all over the floor*

I have their 2004 calendar and the photo of the blonde brother is on its cover. Guh. I don't care if we're on 2006, to me it's still 2004!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Can I make icons with your scans?

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

hoooooooooooooollllllllyyyyy cow .....

*electrocutes self from spilling drool liquid on computer*

[perseph2hades.livejournal.com]

*provides rubber padding* Delicious. Just too delicious.
