There is a new addition into the world of underwear! That person is Mario Lopez. Unlike Marky Mark, David Beckham and others, Mario is now an underwear designer. His new line is called Rated M. He says the M Stands for Masculine, Modern, Mario or what ever you what it to stand for.

The line is only available at FreshPair.com right now! It is an exclusive for them. I got a chance to talk to them this past week. They told me the line is going to start off conservative but after the first of the year it will expand. Which is a smart thing to do. This is what we were told – “The prices range from $18 – $29 (briefs being $18, trunks $20, and shirts going up to $29). They are contemporary basics and come in red, blue, white, black, and gray. There are several lines, but the Elementary line will be the initial launch with others to follow early next year.”

I personally love the bright blue. Yes, the styling maybe conservative but the colors aren’t the typical colors. It will be very interesting to see the new line they will do in a few months. Below are some pics for you to see as well. We will bring you even more about this line as we hear about it and more from FreshPair.com

Recording Artist, Mike Munich stars in Andrew Christians Holiday Video, “2011 Holiday Promo” to his new dance single “Beat The Beat” in celebration of Andrew Christian’s “NanoFit Brief” and “The Perfect Holiday Boxer.”

Mike Munich has had the dance career that almost any young, Midwestern, gay boy would only dream of. It might even read like said boy’s favorite iTunes playlist – with a bit of Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Adam Lambert, Glee & even a Spice Girl in the mix for good measure.

Despite his strong, masculine physique, Mike can seriously get down in a high pair of heels and a face full of glitter, rivaling some of the girliest of girls. Mike’s work in music and dance are evidence of a young man who is confident enough in his sexuality to challenge and tease his audience, while artfully subverting traditional gender roles. Currently at work on his first solo EP, Mike’s debut single “Beat the Beat” will debut in September 2011. A call to nightlife lovers and denizens of the dance floor to ditch the dudes and fall in love with the music, “Beat the Beat” was co-written by Mike, Gino Barletta and Guy Baruch and was produced by Sammy Jay. “Referee,” the second single from Mike’s upcoming EP, was also produced by the same creative team and is slated to drop in Fall of 2011.

Originally from Minneapolis, Mike Munich came to Los Angeles in 2005 intending to focus on pursuing a dance career. Though he trained for years in Minnesota under the tutelage of Michelle Larkin, his mentors in Los Angeles quickly recognized Mike had the potential and skill to grow his artistry beyond the walls of the dance studio, and urged him to expand into acting, modeling and singing as well.

Since coming to Los Angeles, Mike has performed with some of the most popular music artists of today, dancing in Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and “Alejandro” videos, as well as Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment.” Mike has also participated in some of the most talked about contemporary pop music performances, including Adam Lambert’s controversial 2009 AMA’s appearance and Ke$ha’s 2011 Billboard Awards performance, as well as escorting a Lady Gaga filled egg down the 2011 Grammy’s red carpet. He has been featured in some of television’s hit shows, including Eli Stone, America’s Got Talent, and Dance Moms.  Mike has also played a recurring role on the first and second seasons of Glee, as a member of the rival show choir team, Vocal Adrenaline.

Mike Munich’s “Beat The Beat” is currently available on iTunes.  Products from the video can be ordered online at Andrew Christian

Trunk Show is your second book, can you tell us a little about this one?

Of course! After finishing Brief Encounters – the first book – I took a little time off, then moved into the library, where I buried myself in research for months… OK, I’m totally kidding- actually I just wanted another excuse to spend a few months looking at almost-naked guys!

In all honesty, although I don’t try to take take these books too seriously, I did spend a lot of time looking at the history of men’s swimwear. Not just how styles have changed over the years, but how society has both affected and reflected those changes. I think it’s interesting to look at how things have changed in greater society, alongside the more “European” styles of swimwear have become more accepted – and fashionable – in in the U.S.  Of course I know that most people who pick up the book are just going to look at the guys; my hope is that if they buy it, they look at it a dozen times and finally decide to read some of it!

What made you write Trunk Show and Brief Encounters?

As a style editor in the gay media world, I reviewed a lot of beautiful coffee table books, and have written introductions and forewords for a few. Someone at Bruno Gmunder – the publishers – had read some of these and asked if I would be interested in doing an anthology. I realized that putting a book like this together is a lot like putting together a fashion editorial or runway show- which I’ve done a lot.

Pictures above are by Allan Spiers (left) and ES Collection (Right). Both are in Trunk Show.

What brands do you think are doing a great job with their advertising and imagery?

In general, I have a lot of respect for brands that understand and recognize the value of their image, especially in the long-term. There’s been a lot of brand erosion over the past 10-years, even among major names that have been around for decades. Part of this was due to the rise of the web and social media, and of course the economic conditions over the past years.  There are still a few labels who’ve managed to weather the storm; whose brand identity hasn’t suffered. Louis Vuitton is the perfect example; they don’t compromise and everything that bears their logo has been carefully considered to ensure it fits the brand and the target customer.

In the world of underwear and swimwear, all of the brands that I included in the book are my favorites. I know this may sound like a cop-out, and it might seem like “too many” favorites, but given that I looked at almost 100 different brands when I began working on Trunk Show, the handful that I chose really stand out.

If I had to narrow that down further, in terms of imagery my personal favorites are aussieBum, Teamm8 and Skmpeez.  The photography, the composure, the styling… all three brands just do a really good job of bringing everything together. Of course it doesn’t hurt that the guys they use are scorching hot!

What made you write both books? I have Brief Encounters and think it’s a great book.

Thanks!  Unfortunately, after underwear and swimwear, there’s not a lot of places to move on to for a third volume, that let’s me stick with my favorite philosophy of as-little-clothing-as-possible!  (Although I’ve been working on that one, so don’t count it out…)

Where can people buy this book?

I’d love it if everyone could but it at their local independent bookstore, but it’s also available at gay book and gift shops, most Barnes & Noble stores, and of course online at Amazon etc.

Any other plans for the future?

Hopefully more books! I’m also working on expanding my blog and focusing more on my creative consulting. I work with a few brands and local stores, on everything from window design and displays to broadening their brand and improving the customer experience. I’m also in talks for a possible radio or web show focused on eco-friendly and easy DIY home decor and gifts, so we’ll see!

Stay tuned we will have Jason on a podcast soon!

I’d love it!
