Tuesday Hotness – Ryan Furlot

Vancouver has some of the hottest guys (and girls) in Canada.

I hear that all the time from all sorts of non-Vancouverites…and you know what, it’s true. So in the spirit of Vancouver hotness, I’m adding Ryan Furlot here to the hotness files. You may recognize him. You may not. What matters is that he’s a good sport and told me to go ahead and blog these. I’m only posting two photos because, loyal Up Your Alley reader, sometimes that trusty ol’ cliche is actually right: less is more.

Ryan, you’re a star, buddy! You’re even getting checked out by a certain “somebody” in that poster. Must be the new haircut. BAM!
