The Sunday Times publish "Steamy Windows" ...

Every cloud as they say ... I still haven't cancelled my Timesonline subscription from Rafa's blog, but today the Sunday Times published a short article and some pictures from the Armani shoot. OK, apart from the first one, we've seen them all before. Hands up who's complaining???

If only the seminaked, oiled-up bodies in your Bikram yoga sessions looked more like this. Well, if a certain Giorgio Armani was curating the classes, chances are they would. For the 76-year-old permatanned designer has proven himself to be quite the spotter of this year’s hottest bod. Last up were David and Victoria Beckham, seen flexing seductively in moody black-and-white. This summer, Signor Armani has surpassed himself, casting the Spanish tennis ace Rafa Nadal and Megan “the new Angelina” Fox as the next “testimonials” for his Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans collections.

“Rafael Nadal is a true phenomenon, his power and agility are awesome and I am utterly captivated by his unique approach to the game,” Armani says, speaking from the set of the shoot in Palma, Majorca. Well, quite. We’re with you there on the power and agility, Giorgio. And as for foxy Fox: “Megan is young and sexy, full of enthusiasm and personality. She also has a thoroughly modern attitude and lots of it.” Indeed, this time around it’s his female muse sporting the tattoos (see if you can count all eight).

Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott (favourites with the likes of Kate Moss, and who know a thing or two about presenting naked flesh in its most favourable light), we’ve got our hands on an exclusive portfolio of behind-the-scenes images from the shoot (plus a video coming soon online). See Nadal as you always pictured him in the locker room — testosterone-pumped, freshly showered. In his pants. As for Fox, well, you can forget the Dukan diet. Sorry, but life just isn’t fair sometimes. It’s in our nature to want to ogle nubile, athletic flesh. It’s why some of us go to Bikram; but only in our wildest dreams will we ever possess bodies like these.
