His Name is Rio, and he Dances on the Sand

Literanista June 8, 2007


So, it’s hot and nasty out, and the city will be in a prideful chaos as jubilent Puerto Ricans all over Gotham celebrate the bonita bandera that depicts Borinquen this weekend, meanwhile back at our desks, me and some of my friends have a tendency to email one another constantly throughout the workday, and one of our favorites egames is called “Hot Man Friday” where we just nominate hotties to check out!

Now, on a typical day I’m not impressed, especially by pretty models, but this one sent to me today, knocked me out!

Check out Tiago Riani, hottest (Brazilian) specimen on the planet!

And, if you happen to know him, hook a sister up!

Que viva Brasil y que viva Puerto Rico!
