Where do defunct Playgirl coverboys go after they find God and their clothes? Over to Sophisticated Living, of course.
Ok, fine — the photo came from the PR desk of Kevin Talley himself. But we have to admit, nothing says “sexy suit and tie sophisticado” like a guy who, just last month, was straddling a dining room chair in the buff.
Now if only Andrew Essex had thought of that, Absolute may have faced a different fate.

Why do super-hot half-naked guys have to suddenly find God?
Kevin Talley (our new computer screen wallpaper) was scheduled to appear on the cover of Playgirl, to the delight of, well, everyone. After appearing in a November feature, readers were asked to vote for their fave boy in the buff, and Talley won by a landslide.
On Dec. 15, Talley received an e-mail from Playgirl editor in chief Jill Sieracki. “Hi Kevin. Wanted to contact you and tell you congratulations! You’ve been voted Playgirl’s Man of the Year!” she wrote.
And how did our new imaginary boyfriend respond? He asked “what would Jesus do?” (Seriously, he really asked himself that.) And now, he will not be on the cover at all. So, Kanye West, where were you on that one?
