I've just decided that I'm going to learn the names and faces of male models. And then I'll come up with a list of favorites. Sounds like a fitting post for The Handsome Man Group--wonder if I can do a guest posting?

I think I'll start by checking out the top 50 male models.

Murse Matchup: FABIO!

Guest blogger "The Always-Hungry Husband" here! Today, as our Head Mursenary prepares for a weekend satchel safari, it is my privilege to peruse the Submit-A-Man archives and present to you a Fantasy Four that breaks with tradition not only in its authorial composition, but also in its conspicuous lack of last names.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen (and probably a lady again): Fabio.

Thank you Akila for suggesting Fabio to our Submit-A-Man. While he’s never been spotted with a man purse to our knowledge, it’s clear that a man of such prodigious accomplishments must have an appropriate accessory both for the carrying of things, and, um, the looking of good. A metaphor, for your consideration: just as ol’ ‘sinistra e destra’ form the strong foundation of a triumphal Viking conquest-pose, so must Fabio’s manbag maintain the perfect balance of rugged masculinity and feminine sensibility that has made Fabio the undisputed king of romance.

Well, I guess, technically the title of "King of Romance" is disputed by one Englebert Humperdinck, but I don’t think this will become a dispute of or anything. Anyway – on to the show!

Man Purse Profile: Matthew

Hooray! I got a new dog! I was afraid I wouldn't have any time to post anything this Tuesday, but thanks to Amanda, who submitted a fantastic profile of her friend Matthew, we've all got another man to gawk at and/or admire. Draco Falcor Malfoy says, "WOOF!" which means 'thank you' in his special doggy language.

You too, can submit a man through our aptly named Submit-A-Man form! I've even updated the form so it no longer publishes your email address on the "auditions" or "calendar" page. Now, you can even tell us what feature you should be in (depending on whether you know him already, or if you just saw him on the street, and whether or not he already has a man purse.) By the way, you don't have to know the man or even have his permission if he's in a public space, but it's HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. If you're guessing the contents of his man purse just let me know they are guesses instead of actual items. You can also submit photos of celebrities, just give me the URL of the site you found the photo. (And Bernadette, we all know you don't actually have David Beckham's permission to post his profile. But thank you for the submission, and you'll probably see him up this Thursday.)

So give it a shot, it's easy! Well, if you're approaching a stranger, it's scary, but use your best judgement and ask as many questions as you can think of, okay? And if you're not ready to approach a stranger, try interviewing a friend--it's fun! Take a snap shot at home, or somewhere fun. Need inspiration? Go to http://www.whatisjameswearing.com

Matt's man purse was given to him by his ex-girlfriend. It is an I Medici from an open market in Italy. It is his favorite manbag. In it I found: 2 sweaters, a dish towel from Costa Rica, and sunglasses. Seriously. I like a man who carries extra sweaters. The sweater he was wearing was apparently very designer and very expensive. Matthew is pretty much up for anything.
