Bar Refaeli is obsessed with gadgets (she carries three cell phones). Bar Rafaeli likes to sit around and watch TV. Bar Rafaeli likes falafel. That’s when we stopped - what else is there? [More images after the jump]

Gear Girl - Fernanda Tavares

Makes you want to just get up and getaway to the beaches of Brazil, doesn’t it. Some of you may know Fernanda Tavares from her job as a VJ on MTV Brasil, but most will recognize (or not) her from her modeling stints with nearly every fashion brand we can think of, and why wouldn’t you? The 27 year old native of Natal, Brazil is smoldering. Though, we wonder what men must think when they run into her hanging out with close friend, Gisele Bündchen. More images after the jump.

Gear Girl - Brooklyn Decker

Pardon us as we try to figure out how to turn ourselves into moss. That or Andy Roddick. Brooklyn Decker who not only has one of the best names we’ve heard in a long time is also Roddick’s fiancee. Decker graces the pages of 2008’s Sports Illustrated. Born April 12, 1987 (yeah…) the blonde beauty hails from Middletown, Ohio where she’s decidedly anything but ‘middle’.

Anne Hathaway in Get Smart

Like a fine wine, things get better with time. Now that Anne Hathaway has graduated from her Princess Diary days and moved onto films like Havoc, Brokeback Mountain and The Devil Wears Prada (admit it, you’ve seen it) we can better appreciate the New York native. You can see her tonight in the movie Get Smart alongside Steve Carrel and Dwayne Johnson (formerly known as The Rock). This writer had a particular hesitation with the movie because of a personal affinity for the original Don Adams series, but after seeing a sneak preview he can safely say that the movie is entertaining and Anne Hathaway is for lack of better word, hot.

Here’s something you might have not known. Anne Hathaway was to star in Knocked Up, before dropping out at the last minute and replaced by Katherine Heigl.

Either way, thank you Brooklyn.


Gear Girl - Louise Glover

Not unlike this summer, Louise Glover is blistering hot. An English model (we have a propensity for them) selected as Miss Great Britain in 2000, Playboy’s Model of the Year in 2006, and Miss Hawaiina Tropic UK in 2007 has earned the respect of many men. Born on February 8, 1983, Louise Glover tends to fly somewhat below the typical celebrity radar - simply more reason to present her on Gear Patrol, in our opinion. [Courtesy: LouiseGlover.com]


Grace Park on Complex Magazine

Grace Park has set us agog as robot Boomer/Athena the past five years on Battlestar Gallactica, the un-nerdy sci-fi show. Now, the slightly elusive 34 year old American-Canadian Korean actress/model captivates us on the cover and pages of Complex Magazine’s June-July issue.

Make sure to read her feature on Complex. Ok ok, we know you want to see her gallery and listen to us when we say it’s doubtful you’ll ever see someone make a can of Sunkist look so damn hot.


Gear Girl - Laura Vandervoort

First and foremost Laura Vandervoort has a second degree black belt. Yes, she plays the role of Supergirl (Kara), but we find it much more intriguing that she has a second degree black belt. There’s something quite nice about a woman you know can take you down, quite nice indeed.

Born September 22, 1984 in Toronto, Canada, Laura Vandervoort can be seen on “Smallville”. Maybe you can even stream her “Smallville” through your new Netflix player. [via lauravandervoort.net]


Gear Girl - Alexandra Kamp

Honestly though, are 42 year old women allowed to look this good? Um, yes. In the spirit of recent holidays that conjure up appreciation of older women we thought Alexandra Kamp a nice addition to a much needed infusion of Gear Girls.

Alexandra Kamp-Groeneveld was born December 29, 1966. Yes, 1966. A German model and actress in movies you have probably never heard of, but that’s why not you’re looking at her now… you’re probably just wishing she would just lean over just… one… more… inch.

Well, we commend you Alexandra Kamp Groeneveld. We commend you for being 42 and gracing the pages of Playboy, even if it is in Deutschland.

Vegan Vixens

We have no qualms with the betterment of all mankind. We certainly have no problem with the betterment of all mankind through promotion. And we definitely have no problem with this promotion through the beauty of the female form.

Meet the Vegan Vixens, a group of women whose goal is to inspire men to live a longer and happier life by making healthier decisions on what they eat. In the case of this poster, it’s not so much healthier eating as it is anti-dog fighting (ED: I’m going to take a shot and say that there’s probably few readers of Gear Patrol who participate in dog fighting).

The message of the Vegan Vixens show is to alleviate suffering that our environment and animal friends endure in addition to promotion of compassion. More images at Asylum. [via]

What this means to you: We’re firm believers in the advancement and betterment of men. Hell, that’s part of our goal here at Gear Patrol. That doesn’t mean a touch of guilty pleasure can’t be the reason for better awareness. (Image Credit: veganvixens.com)

There’s not a lot we know about Sayaka Ando. She works as a professional model and a former race girl. Honestly though, do you care? She’s gorgeous enough to raise the value of the Yen on looks alone.

Date of Birth: May 24, 1981
Place of Birth: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
