If anyone can come up with good excuses to get the boys from Rio in white speedos (or sometimes even togas), that person is certainly Michael Roberts. And as much as I am not the biggest fan of his photography work, I have to love him for constantly putting Brazil in the spotlight, and for making sure there are always at least two six-packs in each picture.

I love that whenever Michael Roberts is in the country he doesn't just book one or two models for a shoot. He books an entire agency, and strips all the kids down to their underwear. I am totally jealous.

I have to admit that I much prefer when Michael Roberts is his usual crazy horny self shooting boys in togas or in completely inappropriate gladiator gear at the beach in Rio, but considering his latest editorial for Brazilian magazine Wish Report features newcomer Gabriel Burger, who I absolutely adore, I just had to post pictures of this toga-less story.

In the edit are also models Alexandre Garo (left)  and Raphael Sander (middle). View more images after the jump.

Because right now he is backstage at the shows in Rio hanging out with all the boys (including Mr. Lachowski and Mr. Figueiredo above), while I am humbly uploading backstage pictures that were not even taken by me.
