TI is obsessed with the June/July 2006 issue of L'Uomo Vogue

I was in LA the day the issue dropped in the US. I was just leaving Mauro's at Fred Segal's when my phone blurbled an incoming email from Jason Kanner at Major.

Joe Lally's pop colored promo for Major

Karl Herzer: Major: PH: Joe Lally

Mr Joe Lally shot Mr Karl Herzer of Major and offered us this teaser of a shot, all the more to ensure that the eye candy quotient at TI remains at a high level. Thank you Mr Lally!

Kerry Degman by Gregory Vaughan

Say good morning to Kerry Degman, the lastest from the Major Men star-factory. The buzz on KD is already at level 10 and there's still more to come!

Chad White: Major Models: Newly Blonde

You've seen it here first (well second after the kids at V mag). Straight from Mr. White's cameraphone a quick snap of the Chad's new hair color. Truly super-star, very boy Linda, no?

Jeremy Santucci :Major: PH: Greg Vaughn

Just staggered off the plane from JA, sped home to sift through today's submissions. The highlight? Defintely the auadicious snaps of Major's Jeremy Santucci.

Jeremy Santucci :Major: PH: Greg Vaughn

If ever TI's called upon to cast a "noble young Roman " type, Jeremy's first on the list. There's nude snap too but we're getting Jason Kanner's OK on that first! Hands up for the kids who want a peek?

JUST ADDED: Mr Kanner has given us permission to push the envelope. Tastefully!

Major New Beauty: Shane gets the morning started right. PH: GREGORY VAUGHN

Packing to get on the plane back to NY but one hour into the Manhattan business day, already picked up these signals...Mr Kanner at Major Models kicks the day off right with these new snaps of another star :Shane Sather. How expressive is this kid's beauty....A certain highly touted new beauty was spotted in LA recently making TI suspect she may have just nabbed a magnificent blue chip cover moment...Brazilian newspapers and magazines are flooding the MDC offices with requests for interviews on the occasion of Raquel Z hitting No 1 on the Editorial Girls ranking...Speaking of Miss Z which other leading campaign queen is about to get a full-on Only Girl 40 page well in that other blue chip fashion bible? And word is Mert n Marcus have been offered a whopping, stunning, jawdropping contract to be exclusive to a certain major magazine publishing entity.So there IS money in them thar hills afterall. And while in LA this weekend, TI caught up with nightlife impresario Micheal Sutton on the subject of his new endeavor Goa, which opened this weekend. Does LA have a new starlet-studded hotspot? Stay tuned!
