David Beckham bares all in SF’S Union Square!

Okay…he’s not “baring it all” but how else could I get you to read this post?



David Beckham, the hunky soccer Brit who is prey to celeb gossip fodder will take time out of his schedule to make an appearance at Union Square Park at 5 p.m. June 18 (that’s next Wednesday).

Beckham will be coming to SF (sorry, Posh isn’t included in the schedule) in honor of his newest Emporio Armani underwear ad. Word has it that it’s supposed to be racy!

So all you drooling ladies and comfortable-with-my-sexuality men mark your calendars because the big D.B. is comin’ to town!

Here are the deets:

WHAT: In celebration of his newest Emporio Armani underwear ad David Beckham comes to San Francisco to continue to prove that he is pretty beyond comprehension.

DETAILS: The first 175 customers to purchase $200 or more of Emporio Armani Underwear from Macy’s Union Square men’s store and have the opportunity to meet David Beckham and get his autograph.

WHERE: Union Square Park, Downtown San Francisco

WHEN: 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 18.

Yeah, I was slated to be an Emporio Armani underwear model too, but they said my rugged handsomeness was too much to handle. They wanted something with a little more subtlety - like Beckham. But people have said I look like a Filipino David Beckham.
