The 10 Best Marriage-Equality Videos From Around the World BOO-URNS! Vikings' Chris Kluwe Writes Wonderfully Scathing Note To Bigoted Pol Emmett Burns GIMME MOORE Comic-Book Legend Alan Moore’s Gender-Bending “Fashion Beast” Finally Published PROTEST HAUS On Friday Vanwolff, a new L.A.-based menswear company, launched its first swimwear collections at PHOTOS: Demonstrators Protest Prosecution Of Wikileaks Suspect Bradley Manning During DNC Convention West Hollywood’s the Abbey. A crowd of some 300 watched as the seven models sported more than 20 poly-nylon briefs and trunks from the inaugural collections. Prey, Vanwolff’s premium line, includes 14 aquatic animal designs embedded into the fabric, while both lines boast original quotes (“I Promise To Behave This Summer,” “Looking for Trouble,” etc.) woven into the drawstrings. Designer Andrew Maxin and FOLLOW US Follow @queerty partner Mark Waier, a former Ford model, were inspired to launch Vanwolff in order to bring some fresh ideas to bathing suits. They call their swimwear “uninhibited and ‘Cali-chic’ — something you’d feel confident wearing at the beach or lounging in at a pool party.” Like 11,859 people like this.

Next time I hope they hold an auction for the suits on the models — taken off to handover to the winning bidders, would raise a fortune for a good cause! Aug 28, 2012 at 12:24 pm · @Reply · No. 4 · Spike · Member · 93 comments @ The Real Mike in Asheville : Even better, they bid on the suits and then the model wraps a towel around his waist, pulls off the suit and throws it to the winning bidder, but alas, that would only happen in Miami, here in LA, everyone of those models are actor wannabes and would refuse to participate in such and event as no one would take them seriously as an actor, thereafter, or so they would think.

He’s next to the guy in white swimsuit with the 5-o’clock shadow. Hello! I’d rather say ‘Good morning’!

Missed this. Very hot models. Great looking underwear. But couldn’t they have included some Asian or Black guys?
