You may be familiar with Gilles Marini as a former model and for his sexy role as Dante in the first Sex And The City movie.  Gilles also participated in ABC's Dancing with the Stars season 8, coming in at second place on the show's season finale.

Having moved on to other projects, Marini currently has a pictorial out of himself.  It's the Gilles Marini 2010 Calendar captured by Fred Goudon, an award-winning photographer.

Sure the calendar is beautiful to look at because Gilles is quite a stunning man, however, it serves a purpose which is a great one.  All benefits from the sales will go to the Maximum Hope Foundation which helps families with terminally ill kids. 

The Gilles Marini 2010 Calendar can be purchased exclusively at www.amazon.com.
