    I can’t see the car, there is some big hairy dude with his shirt off blocking what would otherwise have been a great shot …
    For future reference (because I like to help)), you need to shoo bystanders out of the way before clicking the shutter …

    Hey Paul, is this your version of the Diet Coke guy? I like the way Mel smeared the grease on your chest to get you in the mood before the “shoot” (just what were you guys really getting up to?)... thank God the fire extinguisher`s near by!

    This is a really awesome collab, and it`s cool to see Mel doing this kind of thing. And as usual, you`ve Van Z`d it to get that special vibe that makes it yours from a thousand miles away. I guess you`ll get your belt back when you do the next shoot with her?

    The lighting on this is kissed with magic.
    I like your grease-streaked skin.
    I love how daringly low, those low-rise jeans go!
    Offering us just a the slightest hint of a glimpse, a tease.
    And i LOVE the title.
    Kudos to Mel :)
    Go sexy Paul, GO!

    I think I’ve found the problem with your car called Paul ‘the VanMan’ Vanzella to Mad Mel B as he removed sand from the air filter and crispy dried seaweed from around the exhaust manifold.
    Mel, gulped her tea back like a shot of bourbon and contuned to stare at the ‘VanMans’ body… was it getting hot in here or was it just her?
    she grinned to herself, first she had ‘sorted out’ his washing with a nice boil wash on Pauls jeans and some nifty work on those pesky shirt buttons. That had been just dandy! now stage 2 of her plan was well underway… the little old lady in need of assistance. Time to cue stage 3 and slip the little blue tablet into the tea and soon Paul would be all hers! she slid the handcuffs further back into the shadows soon my pretty soon…..

    Well, all I can say is that this is a hell of a lot better shot than the one we have hanging at work of the boys from the Natone footy club (sorry Shane and Tom… oops!)

    Fantastic work Mel!!!

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    Great collab you two!!
    Talk about firing up the ladies here mate!
    All the mechanics in the world are now taking a reflective look at themselves in the mirror and thinking… hmmmm, I wonder how much more business would walk in the door if I looked and worked like that!! :D

  • Rebecca MacNaughton

    I ask you this: how does one take a photo of a man (self) totally clothed, and yet position himself, dress himself, stand, light himself, in such a way as to arouse the feelings I now endure? How does a fully clothed man incite such lust in my heart, mind, eye? How indeed, Paul – you are a master. You are beautiful. You are blessed, indeed, for this is strictly heaven sent! And baby, oh baby, I DO pray for more…..ferevently, you know, on my knees, right there at your feet. Yessssssssssssss…..........
