Some Olympics years ago (like in the 80s) some magazine did a photo spread of tastefully nude Olympians. It was wonderful.
Was that when they had that impossibly gorgeous picture of Carl Lewis?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I do believe it was.
I am looking for it now, actually, and having to wade through a lot of porn.
They had several very different body types, there was a weight lifter, two syncro swimmers, Carl Lewis... I can't remember who else.

I found a reference to Life Magazine's Celebration of the Olympic Body, but haven't found a date yet.
Funny x-post
And oh my... he's so, so beautiful.

Either there were multiple covers or they did it more than once (I think it was the former) because I'm seeing a second cover that I will not link to -- its neighbors are, um, not so much Olympians...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OMG people. I just realized that I accidentally unsubbed to Natter a whole day ago!!
And I didn't realize it until I found myself thinking "why aren't we all nattering about the incredibly adorable wee Aussie twink in the diving?", and I found my way back to the thread (OMG DON'T LET ME DO THAT EVER AGAIN!!) and we still aren't!
(Of course, nekkid Olympians are a perfectly good distraction.)
