I was warned ad nauseum
To be so good all year.
Now it's the night before Christmas
And I can feel Santa near
I think Christmas Eve is actually my favorite part of the holidays. Although I've much of the excitement I had for Christmas as a kid, I can still feel magic in the air on Christmas Eve night. One tradition I have is a late night walk on Christmas Eve. I've taken with my family, my friends, my partners and of course my dogs. Although it's faded slightly over the years, I can still sense a bit of electricity in the air late at night on the 24th.
It's all about anticipation really. I'm one of those people always more excited before an event, than while actually at it. Even with FH, I get excited piecing together a story in my head while working out or when I should be focused on work. It's easier to think about something, even something you're excited about, then when it's time to hold your own feet to the fire. Christmas day rarely lives up to the hype, but Christmas Eve... well, there are far more options, often without the same degree of pressure.
Nicky, as you can see, is clearly excited, waiting in anticipation for the big guy to come. He's got the house ready, he's showered and prepped. In between looks out the window, Nicky practices the perfect pose to entice his busy gift giver to stay. Usually, when Nicky's heavy hitter stops by, it's a quick in and out. Nicky likes to think he's special, but he knows he's not the only port of call on his his sugar plum daddies route.
Still, he's patient, it's worth it. Nicky knows it's difficult to find the perfect paramour, especially one who's as giving as his rosy cheeked Romeo. Sure, he's always busy, and has to rush off, and he has that pesky wife at home....but when they're together, even for a quicke, it's the most wonderful time of the year.
As FH readers are aware, Jim from Studio1x is an expert, at capturing holiday moments, especially the energy and enthusiasm exhibited by the hot men he shoots. It was Jim's experience, that allowed Nicky to trust Jim to capture the vulnerablity he was feeling while awaiting his Christmas caller. Nicky and Jim had worked together a few ears earlier on an entirely different type of shoot. They were shooting fashion in very cold old warehouse and quickly bonded through complaining about how freezing it was that cold December day.
It was shortly after that cold December shoot that Jim decided to set up his own studio, one where he could control the heat. It was also then that Jim decided to ditch shooting fashion and move more towards artistic nudes. Given how well they worked together in the warehouse, Jim reached out to Nicky to see if might be interested in exploring his new creative focus.
Nicky was on board, but they struggled to find a time they were both free to shoot. Over the years, they continued to talk about ideas, but never got anything scheduled. It wasn't because of a lack of enthusiasm. Although Nicky had never done a nude shoot before, he was very excited to give it a try. Nicky's past modeling assignments were mostly commercial, always playing the groom.
Or course, as you can see from beautifully long and lean physique, Nicky looked hot in his tux for. He longed however,to rip it off and take his place front and center. As we all know, brides, and more importantly bridal gowns, are always the main attraction at weddings, and especially at wedding shoots. Nicky was more than ready to ditch his tux and be more than just a great looking accessory.
Jim reached out to him again last month, and asked if he would be for another shoot together on a cold December day. This time however, Jim was able to promise that it would be a lot warmer, especially as this time, Nicky would need to ditch the fashion, and take off all of his clothes.
'Nicky was very excited and we enjoyed reconnecting and exploring modeling and new concepts that didn't require much wardrobe. We had a lot of fun in the studio as we captured so many different sides of Nicky. for the series. We're excited to put this all together, and wich everyone who see's and enjoys the images a very Happy Holidays from Studio1x!'
