Francois Rousseau’s “Ora”

For his latest atmospheric photo project, famed French photographer (sorry, we do love our consonance) Francois Rousseau of Dieux du Stade fame—you know, French for "impossibly good looking naked rubgy players languishing in painfully homoerotic poses"—has set his sites on the island paradise of Tahiti where men roam around barely clothed and hunt for prey during the day and (surprise!) languish in painfully homoerotic poses by night. It's a tribute to the eroticism of island culture from a man who we wouldn't mind seeing running around in little more than a grass skirt, spear and an island charm or two himself (check out the artist's self pics on his official website to see what we mean)—and if the end result is a little closer to National Geographic than Physique Pictorial, it's still worth checking out. One cannot live on naked rugby players alone, you know.- VH
