Models Posts

Lawrence has a classic all American look that made him a perfect choice to model some of the hottest new underwear for the fall. It was a busy day but, between shooting the JM Bambou and the latest from Diesel , I had a chance to ask Lawrence a few questions.

How old are you? 

28

Where do you call home?  

I am from Southern Illinois, but I'm currently living between Miami, New York, North Carolina, Chicago, and L. A.

Since you spend so much time jet setting, which city is your favorite?

Chicago

Sounds like you have been busy.  Have you had any exciting jobs recently you can tell us about?

I just finished shooting a music video with Carrie Underwood, "Ever After," for the Enchanted soundtrack.

Also, I did some work for Men's Health, which was a big deal for me. It will be published in the U.K. first, later this year, and it will make it to the States probably early next year.

 Everyone has a funny story about being caught in their underwear. What about you?

I usually don't wear underwear.   When I was in the Marines, I was always waiting for my underwear to dry.  I got tired of waiting and I didn't want to put them on wet.

Most irresistible guilty pleasure?

McDonalds, their fries. Also, Kripy Kreme I could put down a dozen of those.

If you were a super hero, what type of powers would you have?

I would fly. I think everyone would want to fly.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I am modeling now.  I was also in the military for 8 yrs.  After modeling I may go to school for fitness/nutrition or maybe carpentry.

What do you do for fun?

Play Kickball.  I even started a team in Miami.

You've spent a lot of time in the gym, what part of your physique are you the most proud of?

My abs.

If you had an unlimited budget to spend at MensUnderwearStore.com what would you buy?

The first underwear I modeled, Diesel.  They were great.

What is your ultimate vacation spot?

The beach any beach.

MensUnderwearStore would like to send out a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to one of our models, Tyler, on being on the cover of GENRE's September issue. Not only is Tyler on the cover he is also featured on pages 36 - 38, giving some helpful advice on how to achieve a great ab workout. Be sure to check out our interview with Tyler and if that's not enough check out Flickr for exclusive photos of Tyler during his MensUnderwearStore.com photo shoot.

We've been busy, shooting one model after another as we add new designers and products. The youngest of our recent models, Josh, is 21 and filled out our new N2N swimwear and Calvin Klein Flex Fit very nicely. Tyler, just a year older, hails from Ohio and boasts a pair of blue eyes that rivaled even Go Softwear's bright summer prints. Rounding out our model trio, 23 year old Caleb’s energetic enthusiasm was a killer combo with Papi's new Cool Jersey 2.

Caleb, this is your second shoot with us, what do you remember about the first time you were here?
Ha Ha! It has to be when I was goofing around in a bizarre piece of underwear that was like a Scottish Kilt.

Everyone’s got a funny story about being caught unexpectedly in their underwear before – what about you three?
Tyler: one of my friends "pantsed" me in gym class one day and I was standing in front of the whole class in my underwear.
Josh: In my car…while I was driving.
Caleb: I was in high school getting ready for football practice and a few cheerleaders walked in on my changing into my jock…. a jock, is underwear right?

I’m sure you’ve all gotten yourselves into more embarrassing situations than that…
Josh: I had a party at my parents house and answered the door to my neighbors wearing nothing but a cowboy hat.

What does your favorite pair of underwear look like?
Tyler: pair of Polo boxer briefs.
Caleb: my black Diesel underwear that has the Diesel logo in red and "Only The Brave" printed on the band in back.
Josh: Athletic, Red, and shows all of the right curves if you know what I mean.

Most irresistible guilty pleasure?
Caleb: CPK (California Pizza Kitchen).  It’s heaven on a plate!
Tyler: Reeses Pieces!
Josh: I'm a sucker for ice cream.

If you were reincarnated, but not as a human, what would you come back as?
Tyler: I would come back as a lion and rule the jungle because I have a very dominant personality
Caleb: A lion because they have a tremendous amount of strength, leadership, loyalty, love, and affection more than any other animal.

It sounds like our models are going to rule the jungle! If you were to be a super hero, what type of powers would you have?
Tyler: I’d spit hot fire because I can talk my way out of just about anything.
Josh: Background music. Just imagine having your own theme music wherever you went. It would make you feel great and you could really set the mood.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Caleb: I’m a personal trainer right now, but I would eventually like to be in a position and carry out the responsibilities and duties of a pharmaceutical rep.
Josh: As boring as it may sound I'm receiving my degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology shortly. I'm going to use it to go into consulting. Plan B- Firefighter.
Tyler: I've told people I was grown up since i was 15, but I want to be a financial adviser.

What do you do for fun?
Caleb: hang out with my boys and play washers, obviously lift weights, shop like I have an endless bank account.
Tyler: I love going to Ohio State Football games or any big time sporting events that you can tailgate at with 100,000 people.
Josh: hang out with my friends, they are the best in the world. They make life so much more fun, interesting, and easy-going.

You’ve all spend lots of time in the gym, what part of your physique are you most proud of?
Josh: biceps and abs
Tyler: my abs
Caleb: my legs or back. It takes a lot of hard work to develop them and most people neglect those body parts. But that doesn’t mean they're my favorite.

If we gave you each $500,000 to spend at MensUnderwearStore, what's the first thing you'd add to your cart?
Tyler: a pair of either Diesel or DKNY briefs
Caleb: Everything Diesel of course, then we'll see from there.
Josh: definitely be the whole Calvin Klein and DKNY line. It really is amazing, the way it fits, looks and feels. I love microfiber especially the t-shirts.

Sam has such a comfortable feel and classic American style that we couldn't find anything that didn't look great on him!  We had all kinds of things in our photo shoot closet for him to wear, from our new Fred & Howard polos & cargos to a new set of Whittall & Shon fashion tank tops — even our debut of Diesel swimwear and underwear.  To top it all off, we found that Sam's lean physique was the perfect match for the launch of N2N Trainer workout gear, which has already become wildly popular.  Maybe it's the great clothes, maybe it's Sam's infectious enthusiasm for fitness…whatever it is, we got some great photos to add to our collection!  I took a minute to sit down with him and learn that he's more than just a pretty face…

How many years since you were born? 23

Place you call home?  Monmouth, OR

Most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?  Flying off my bike going full speed in downtown Salem. I gripped the front brake instead of the rear and flew about 30 feet through the air next to 10-15 cars during rush hour traffic.

Funniest thing that's ever happened to you?  Probably the same thing as above.  I tend to laugh at myself a lot — it keeps me humble

Your one ultimate weakness? Pizza!  I am always ready for pizza even if I've just eaten.

Biggest mistake?  Probably being a horrible brother to my youngest brother for the first years of his life because he imitated me.  I hated it, because he imitated what I hated about myself.  I only realized this later and feel horrible about it.

Favorite gift you've ever received?  A black Adidas soccer ball!  Anything Adidas most likely comes in first!

What do you want to be when you grow up?  A business owner and retired by 30.  I want to prove I don't need college to retire early or make a great living!

Favorite piece of clothing from the photo shoot?  Those lace up white workout pants (Sauvage) with the two black stripes, they're really comfortable.

Where do you go when you need to escape life?  The gym a lot of times, it's a good place to clear my head.

What do you do for fun?  I play soccer as much as I can, workout, go hiking, swimming, snowboarding, biking, and spending time with friends and family!

Describe your "best day ever".  Everyday that I feel like a have accomplished something great or made someone's day better is my best day!

What do you do most often when you are bored?  Try to figure out how I am going to retire early and make a game plan for it.  I also like to help people that need it in my free time,  whatever it may be.

Tyler's long and lean physique made him the perfect fit for our 2007 collection of Tulio swimwear, brand new designs from Mundo Unico and much-demanded Puma Bodywear.  He's a natural in front of the camera and has an ease about him that you can see in the photos we captured.  He's a big fan of our boxers, and likes to keep things simple and down-to-earth…he's a man of few words, but he sure does look good!
