It's raining men...

Or at least it sure felt that way on Aug. 23 at the Lenox Hotel in Boston. Eight men from across the country vied for the title of Mister USA 2008. Sponsored by Critical Beauty, a local pageant firm, the winner received $20,000 in cash and prizes and will also represent the United States in the Mister International 2008 pageant in Taiwan in November.

Friends, family, and some curious Bostonians watched as the contestants were judged on personalities, swimsuits, and evening wear.
