Florida boy Albert Reed, 20 year old star of Abercrombie and Fitch's Autumn 2004 ad campaign, has a busy PR office that has more than once sent us Albert's website. Now they proclaim him the "world's most beautiful man". That's a tall order, even for glam man Reed. Still, we like his surfer/waiter story, and his epiphany that "Miami was unhealthy and hindered (his) personal growth." (What???)

Off to more healthy Europe our young hero flew, where he was discovered in Greece and Italy---and the rest is history. We wish Albert well. And we hope he gets tired of modeling ASAP and enrolls in a college or university. What makes a man really beautiful, Albert, is that touch of refinement known as education.
