We're getting close to the end of the model search, with dozens of contestants to go. So to try to get as many girls in the gallery as possible, I'm going to be posting in groups from now until the finals next month, where the top 20 contestants will join me in the Bahamas for the finals. (And one of you may win a chance to join us... so stay tuned.)

Today's contestants are (left to right, top to bottom): beach-going Elisa from Florida; Vanessa N. from Houston, who loves literature and art; Will Ferrell fan, Emilee B. from Lake Worth, FL; sushi-loving D'Nika from Lubbock, TX; Danita from Edison NJ, who stays fit with yoga; Kathy from Redlands, CA; Darlen from Austin, TX; and music-loving Marlene from Davie, FL.

You votes are important in deciding which of these hot models gets to go to the finals. Check out their entry pics here and make sure to vote for your favorites.

It's a classic tale that's lead to Rogaine, Viagra and countless other successful products: A company is looking for one thing, and stumbles upon something that's much, much more useful. And lucrative.

Which is what happened with Slightest Touch. Seems they spent a decade trying to develop the ultimate foot massager using acupuncture and electronics to stimulate the body. What they found was that when the device's electrodes were placed on the ankles of test subjects, it sucked at giving a massage, but succeeded in getting several female test volunteers exceptionally horny. Which ultimately resulted in some very powerful orgasms. Congratulations. You've invented the Orgasmatron.

Why should you care? Because by stimulating the sexual nerves responsible for arousal, they are able to make your girl yell, "Bingo!" much easier and much more often. During soon-to-be unforgettable sex with you, Cowboy. One electrode pad on each ankle, turn it on, and you're a carnal god. Which definitely beats the hell out of a foot massage.

Part of the 60's counterculture, the original cafe racers were built to reach speeds of over 100-mph, and allow the rider to race from a cafe to a predetermined location and back, before the song on the jukebox ended. (Crazy hippy bikers.) Buell's new '09 1125CR is a nod to those old racers, and brings superbike performance to their streetfighter category.

Incredibly fast, and nimble beyond imagination, this new Buell is powered by a liquid-cooled 1125cc Helicon V-Twin that comes in at 146-hp and 82 ft-lbs of torque, with the added bonus of having been geared down for optimal acceleration. Considering the bike weighs in at a feather-weight 375 pounds - with each of those 146 horses only responsible for propelling 2.5 pounds, a class-leading weight-to-horsepower ratio - you will experience seriously optimal acceleration as you swerve and dodge through whatever the road throws at you.

The Clubman-style bars with integrated LED signals are another nod to the classic cafes, and there's a short flyscreen instead of a fairing, giving the 1125CR an aggressive visage that sets it apart from its Japanese rivals. And since these bikes sip, rather than guzzle, fuel, they're a definite alternative to the 8-cylinder cage you're driving in now.

Say you're spear fishing. You've got your spear in one hand and catch bag in the other, and you want to grab a pic of the shark headed your way. Not exactly the time to be searching for your underwater digital. Which is where The Only Digital Camera Swim Mask comes in handy.

If you're looking to grab shots of marine life around the reef, or bikini-clad hotties at the lake, this 5-megapixel camera housed in a dive mask operates to a depth of 15 feet, with a built-in memory that can handle up to 30 high rez photos or 52 seconds of video. (A microSD card slot let's you expand the memory.)

The mask’s eye pieces are made of tempered glass and have crosshairs you use for lining up perfect shots. An LED inside the mask tells you whether you're in picture or video mode before you press the shutter button. You get hands-free aqua pics without the worry of dropping an expensive underwater digital to the bottom of the ocean.

One look at Virginia's pics (check them out here), and I was thinking: delicate, indoor girl. Crazy sexy. But high-maintenance. Then I looked at the Colesburg, Iowa native's profile and saw she listed as her hobbies: camping and trout fishing. Yeah, trout fishing. Now there's the ideal woman to take to the lake. Bait your hook by day, rock lingerie in the tent by night. Grab your rods, guys.

Tired of "seeing all American stuff" a Canadian production company is launching an all-new digital porn channel, with at least 50% of the content to feature performers from the Great White North.

Real Productions is launching Northern Peaks, a cable and satellite channel that will feature hard-core movies, shows and reality series created by Canadian writers and producers, with Canadian performers. Included on the station will be such obviously Canadian-sounding titles like Manny the Freak's Freakin' First Timers and Michael Madison's Lord of the Ass, along with adult game shows like Jizz Quiz and the reality show Unzipped. No word on whether performers will be forced to wear knit hats, or those Elmer Fudd hunting lids with the flaps.

Energy drinks may give you that much needed boost to make it through yet another afternoon of strategic planning meetings, but they've got a few inherent problems: They need to be kept cold. They don't fit in your pocket. They can be expensive. And they make you piss like a racehorse.

Which is what led an emergency room doc to spend two years developing VE2, an energy gum that delivers a quick boost while you chew.

Cheap ($1.69 for a 10-piece pack), sugarless, and portable enough to keep in your pocket, two pieces have as much caffeine as a cup of coffee or an 8-ounce energy drink. And since caffeine is absorbed quickly through your oral membranes, you get the effects much faster than with energy drinks, which are absorbed only after passing through the stomach. VE2 also has vitamins B6 and B12, niacin, ginseng and guarana, to up your alertness level without subjecting you to a crash.

And besides costing only 35 cents per serving, not needing to be refrigerated, or making you run to the bathroom every 10 minutes, it'll also give you minty fresh breath.

No two things convey a guy's sense of style more than his shoes and his watch. I can't help you in the shoe department this week, but I can get you a new watch.

Featuring design cues from both Asian and Nordic traditions, the Obaku Harmony watch has a simple, modernist style that works when you're at the office in a suit, or in jeans at dinner with your girl. The collection was recently exhibited at the Aros Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and one of you will be exhibiting it on your wrist.

The Obaku features Swiss Ronda movements, nearly unbreakable Titan glass to protect its face, and a stainless braided strap. It retails for $245 and all you have to do to win it is enter your email addy here. I'll pick one of you at random to win on Friday, Aug 22. Adding to your style, but ending any excuse you have for being late to pick up your girl.
