“A waitress where I worked was flippin’ through the Horny issue and was like, ‘Gary, you should do this!’ Then everybody started chimin’ in. People know I’m an exhibitionist and a total center-of-attention loudmouth Leo, but I was still like, ‘No freakin’ way!’ The whole voting-online thing felt like a popularity contest. But then I was like, Aw, okay! I watch America’s Next Top Model—I know what to do. Now I’m just lookin’ forward to one day showin’ my grandkids that their grandfather used to be slammin’ hot!”
“A few years ago, my weight topped out at 270 pounds. I finally decided enough is enough, both physically and emotionally. I wanted to do this to try once and for all to shed my poor body image and prove to myself and others that it can be done.”
Second place (11 percent of the vote)
John Lepine 45, College Point, Queens; butcher
“I’m bummed I came in second place…but thrilled that at least I came in second place! I wanted to be pictured walking around the Meatpacking District naked, with a steak covering my johnson. I’ll probably still do it.”

I love you Nadine. You are a great friend and an inspiration for all of us who have ever given in to society's perceptions of ourselves. I love you for being who you want to be, and for having the courage to do this. I also think the photo is fucking sexy! Hot hot hot... did I mention that I helped Nadine create some of her tattoos!
