Andrés Velencoso + La Vanguardia Magazine

The heat was on to find a lustworthy topic for my 100th post on the Lust List and who better than my first Model Lust Andrés Velencoso. Luckily Andrés loves his fans, which led me to find his latest project via Twitter [follow @andresvelencoso].

Andrés appears in the latest issue of La Vanguardia Magazine. I've linked it for your lusting pleasure but, be prepared to think back to all those Spanish lessons in high school if you want to read the article. Or simply lust with your eyes and check out a rough translation of the article below.

Andrés is quoted as "a man of peace, who feels more comfortable with the camera than with the microphone". As you may or may not know, he is the lustable boy toy of Kylie Minogue. The article references that their relationship is not out of personal and professional advantage. That he is a man who respects others, and it would appear, respects love.

Born in Tossa de Mar, he was discovered in fashion at the height of "pre-anorexic sickly" models like those of Heidi Slimane for Dior Homme. Success for someone like Andrés who represented strong but natural muscle and a certain "masculinity both in face and body" seemed hopeless. Luckily for us, our friend Marc Jacobs disagreed and plastered this face of masculinity alongside Jennifer Lopez for Louis Vuitton all over New York. Vuitton led to Chanel, which led to Loewe, and so on.

Andrés is managing success at the age of 33, which is rare for most male models. He keeps intact the fundamentals of his life and remains "friendly and polite, never says a word higher than another, and sits well with everyone". It seems this Model Lust hasn't lost sight of his roots in Barcelona, visiting his sisters and father whenever he has a chance. Sometimes even working in his father's restaurant [if only Andrés was on the menu]. He feels very close to his family, especially after the passing of his mother in 2002 who encouraged him to pursue modeling rather than teach Physical Education. Her name, Lucia, appears on his chest in remembrance.

You can check out this blog devoted totally to his career here, and don't forget to lust with Andrés and the Lust List [@LustListTweets] on Twitter.
