Men in the Alps: Best of 2008/13
Bruno Gmuender
This is the first I’ve seen of this series of hunky amateur Alpine men books and also the last one ever they will be producing, so it’s a bittersweet review for the Men in the Alps: best of book. If you’re not aware of the ‘Men in the Alps’ calendar they are a long running and very successful charity group who churn a calendar out every year in aid of HIV and AIDS charities in Europe.
The book does exactly what it says on the cover, in a very Swiss way. It’s men, in the Alps, men with very few cloths on being rather flirty, hot and sexy without doubt, but nothing crude or too sexy, this is the Alps after all, and this book is a tease, rather than an explosion of explicitness and all the nicer for it. Got it. Good. These gents are very Swiss too, very clean, handsome, smiley, shaved, buff, neat, wholesome, you get the idea, stop reading and just look at the pics.
You can see a selection of these handsome amateur models here in a selection of Semi Full/Monty Pythonesque Germanic and Swizz poses…
Men in the Alps is a hark back to a more innocent time of Men in the Alps, when a hunky chest, thick biceps, delicious thighs, perfect bubble but or massive back was enough for a healthy perv, before the dark days of double penetration and multi partner sleaze exhausted us all. Or was that just me?
So here in all their glory are the Men and yes, they are in the Alps and such glorious huge mountains they are too, they lurk atmospherically in the background of all these photos looking both magnificent and slightly incongruous on occasion, but hey who’s checking out the hot man meat on display when there’s such a magnificent display of cenozoic orogenic crystalline basement granite to oggle.
So, should you get bored of gigantic thrust faults topped off in a dusting of snow then you can always check out the thick thighed gentlemen in their leather shorts.
You can also check them out singing (well lip-syncing, they are Swiss after all) semi naked to Michael Buble’s song ‘it’s a beautiful day’ , if you’ve no further interest in geology.
So yes, less of the Lepontin dome and more of the Men in the Alps, after all this book isn’t called the geology of the Alps with semi naked men strewn across it, no, it’s called the Men of the Alps. It’s from Bruno Gmuender, so is the usual high quality production values with lots and lots of full page photos and this large format book would make the prefect present for your Lufthansa Trolly Dolly friend or any other euro queen with a coffee table.
So there you have it, as best I can do, a lovely book with great photos of these very sexy men sitting around looking like they do that sort of thing every day, lucky them, lucky us there happened to be a photographer around while they were doing it too, half way up a mountain, like you do.
