In June 2016, a burly bail bondsman from Sacramento became an internet sensation for the most unexpected reason. With his big stature, bushy beard and countless tattoos, it's hard to believe he starred in a professionally-shot photoshoot that took the country by storm — but oh yes, that's exactly what he did.
Joshua Varozza, 32, first teamed up with visual artist and photographer Tami Bears for a "God Bless America 'Dudeoir' Country Collection" photoshoot, complete with sensual poses, American flags and denim overalls. "Dudeoir" refers to a male boudoir photo spread intended to put masculinity on display, but in a feminine way.
Varozza, as you'll quickly see below, is very confident about his body and appearance. Now, he and Bears are back with a brand new photoshoot — this one beach-themed — and it definitely tops the last.
There are mermaid tails, tiny lifeguard shorts and hair. Lots and lots of hair. And people can't get enough of the "sexy" shots.

Joshua Varozza has always dreamt of the limelight— but he never expected to find it through modeling.
Varozza, 32, works as a bail bondsman in Sacramento, California. In June 2016, he took the internet by storm with his viral "dudeoir" photo spreads.
The pictures were shot by visual artist and photographer, Tami Bears, who wanted to break up the negative and hateful headlines with a fun, lighthearted spoof on pin-ups.
The "Dudeoir Beach Collection" proves you don't have to be perfectly chiseled to earn your place in the spotlight.
Varozza says he has always been a ham — and that the dudeoir photoshoots perfectly fit his funny and outgoing personality.
"So many people are coming to us, telling us we make them more comfortable in their skin," Varozza told KCRA. "I would just encourage people to go hug a stranger today and do something kind that they wouldn't usually do."
Both men and women alike have fallen in love with Varozza...well, everyone except for his 13-year-old son, Tyler. Tyler thinks his dad is just a big goofball.
I have a feeling this won't be the last time we see Joshua Varozza and Tami Bears team up. The fans are waiting!
What an awesome way to encourage people to be comfortable in their own skin — and give them a laugh in the process. If you agree, please SHARE these photos with your friends on Facebook!
