It's getting hot in here! Costa Rica Sims Productions presented its first fashion show under new director Tempest Hennesy this Saturday. Residents turned out to watch the "Boys of Summer" featuring fashions by Alphamale, B-Side Couture and *Connors*.

The models took to the runway with confidence showing these amazing designs to the eager eyes of all. Especially the ladies of Costa Rica who really seemed to show their appreciation with much vigor.

Jaymz Pearl, a Mr Costa Rica 2010 finalist, owned the runway wearing B-Side Couture brown and cream plaid shorts, complete with prim pockets and belt paired with a v-neck shirt in creme also from B-Side. Also from B-Side were some great boardshorts in navy as worn by Oliver Grashnar. A definite must have for the Costa Rica surfer.

Mr Costa Rica 2009 Bjorn Delphin showed how to do summer in style wearing a fresh Alphamale DuskyPink Shirt and Beige Formal Pants. He looked all set to dance the night away during the hot summer nights. LesPaul Ibanez showed how to do casual the hot way with Half Denim Ivory pants and Layered Tank Top in Army from *Connors* showing his bronzed biceps. Take a breather ladies.

Mr Costa Rica 2010 Todd Anton set hearts fluttering with his first runway walk with Costa Rica since winning the title. Wearing Paint Couture Shirt and Burn Couture Used Look Pants from B-Side Couture. A fantastic ensemble with bold red splashes of paint and comes with rolled cuffs and scarf. This is a wonderfully comfy look that also leaves heads turning.

An exceptional ensemble worn by Todd, *Connors* Jacket in Blue, Half Denim Pants in Charcoal and See-through Tshirt in White, was a real crowd pleaser. *Connors* just keeps turning out the hits with the beautiful texture work and prim detailing. If you haven't gone for a visit, definitely put it on your list for summer.

Not the only one to turn heads, Mr Virtual World 2010 Mikey Batriani made his mark with Swiss Couture Hooded Sweatshirt and Eco B-Side Couture Pants from B-Side Couture. I love the bright color and large white cross on the chest. He can save me from drowning anytime! Mikey also rocked out Alphamale Black Star Swimtrunks. Sexy black shorts with white trim and stars. With his towel draped casually over his shoulder the beach will go up another hundred degrees.

A wonderful start to a sure to be hot and spicy summer in Costa Rica Sims. Be sure to head to our shopping plaza and pick up these fantastic designs for yourself or your man. You can see more photos of these outstanding gentlemen at our Flickr page by clicking here: Costa Rica Flickr Stream
