Because It’s Almost Hump Day: Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal has won gold in Beijing and recently knocked Roger Federer aside as the top tennis player. And good for him. Now we can stop obsessing over how Michael Phelps’ legs and arms are roughly the same length and focus instead on how often Rafa washes his hair.

(If we had to venture to guess? Not terribly often.)

We’ll admit to finding it a little funny that Nadal appears on the cover of New York magazine’s “Fall Fashion, Men’s Edition” issue wearing nothing but a towel and a look of slight confusion. But, hey. Whatever it takes to get him posing semi-naked. And confused.

Just how we like ‘em:

Rafa’s totally channeling Rick Springfield in this picture. And that is never, ever, ever a bad thing.

LOLNads: “Mah head. It is teh hurt.”

Why does this somehow look familiar?

OH HAI!

Does the glamour not leap off the screen and straight into your eyeballs? It does. This is the glamorous picture we’ve ever seen that evokes the sentence: “Teehee. My knuckles smell like poo.”

¿Ay, y esa cara? Fine. We’re sorry about the poo-knuckle comment.
