Brian Gioelli for One Man Minneapolis

Fancy! We found out via facebook that l'etoile ad man and BFF Brian Gioielli has been nominated as a finalist for the annual One Man Minneapolis contest. The multi-faceted professional event calls out one guy who represents the best of the Twin Cities, keeping in mind community involvement, personality, intelligence and fitness. We can't think of any man more suited for the honor!

Brian is not only super cool and worthy of your votes in and of himself - he also promises to donate $2,500 to the Minneapolis YMCA homeless outreach program of POINT Northwest, $500 to the Animal Humane Society, and $1,000 to Dress for Success, in which case he will enlist the styling team of l'étoile to put together outfits for women in need of job-appropriate clothing.

You can vote for for Brian every day at www.onemanminneapolis.com. You can meet Brian and the rest of the finalists during the upcoming "Meet the Men" happy hours, beginning April 14.
