By now, you’ve heard all about Yorkdale Mall’s Fashion Santa.
Not only has he become an international Internet sensation, he’s even appeared in a selfie with Justin Bieber.
Of course, Fashion Santa is well-known Toronto model Paul Mason (who is a staple at Toronto Men’s Fashion Week (TOM), among other things).
Anyway, as of late, he’s been making holiday shopping a lot easier on the eyes for shoppers at the high-end mall, redefining what it means to pose for a picture with Santa.
As it turns out, Mexico wanted a piece of Mason for the holidays as well.

“This Christmas I want someone who looks just like you. Any chance you have a twin brother?”
Mexican newsfeeds are now full with photos of Mason as Mr. Claus, a sexy Santa who works for El Palacio de Hierro, one of Mexico’s largest department stores. He even has a verified Facebook page, where he interacts with his growing fan-base through videos and photos.
While I’m not sure how I feel about the sexualization of Santa (is nothing off limits anymore?), one thing is for sure about the whole spectacle: Mason proves that your big modelling break can come at any age.
