By The Balcony Door: Cody by Chris Teel
'Once Chris had me in front of the camera it was almost as if we kind of knew each other already he made me feel very comfortable and it was very easy to build a connection with him.'
Anyone who's rented an apartment, especially in a busy city, knows how important it is to have a balcony. Some days, it's really your only access to the outside, something especially crucial during the summer. When checking out a new balcony the focus is all about evaluating the view. For some however, it less about what they can see, and more about if they'll be seen.
Some people of course, want to make sure they have their privacy. They want to be able to sunbath in little or no clothing without the worry of their neighbours getting a view. For others however, drawing the attention of both neighbours and strangers is part of the appeal. As you can see, Cody loves to wear as little as possible. For Cody, dressing up means putting on a singlet or a jock strap. He also loves to hang out on the balcony or in front of his huge picture windows. As you can probably tell from his facial expressions and poses, Cody welcomes any set of eyes that enjoys his spectacular views.
Some readers may remember my struggle to find a Canadian photographer to feature last Canada Day. I was on the hunt for a hot Mountie to celebrate the holiday. Originally, photographer Chris Teel was on board to shoot, but another lockdown in Toronto put a wrench in the plan. Chris did however, suggest featuring another hot Canadian he worked with before the lockdown began. The Toronto based model and digital creator looks like he belongs in front of the camera, especially with one with Chris Teel behind it. Below just check out a Q & A with Chris and Cody on their work together.
How did you both connect?
Chris:
We first connected on Instagram two years ago. We've shot 4 or 5 times since then.
Cody
Chris reached out to me through Instagram after I began to post photos of myself. Chris was actually my very first photographer that I ever worked with
What stood out to you when you first saw each other's work?
Chris:
I was attracted to his boy-next-door look. Though I'm known as a physique photographer, I'm always on the lookout for models with a great deal of personality - its important to see that in the final image. My audience also responds to guys who appear relatable and approachable, and Cody fits all of the criteria.
Cody:
I really like how he uses natural lighting to make the body look perfect also his models always seem so comfortable in front of the camera and that was something as a newbie in the industry was so important for me to feel comfortable.
Did you discuss the shoot, possible themes before the shoot?
Chris:
Cody and I always go into our shoots with a general concept in mind - discussing locations, themes, sharing inspiration shots. We both bring wardrobe to the shoot and basically free flow from there.
Cody:
We did discuss a few different things but prior to the shoot more along the lines of fashion and where my comfort level was. When we first began working together I was so nervous but to be perfectly honest once Chris had me in front of the camera it was almost as if we kind of knew each other already he made me feel very comfortable and it was very easy to build a connection with him.
What is the best thing about working with Cody?
Chris:
His confidence has grown, along with his physique, and he's open to shooting almost any concept. We're always sharing new ideas and I'm looking forward to continuing to creating images with him and seeing where our efforts take us.
What is the best thing about working with Chris?
Cody:
I would have to say the best thing about working with Chris is that we always laugh and joke through our shoots which always brings the personality out. Were you happy with the finished images? I was so excited when I first saw the photos I got to see myself and my body from the eyes of someone else and it actually helped build my confidence and made me want to pursue more modeling.
Can viewers see more on your OnlyFans?
Chris:
Images from most of my shoots with Cody and behind-the-scenes video clips can be found on my OnlyFans!
Cody:
I just recently started using only fans and it's definitely been super exciting so far all the fans can expect to see lots of behind the scenes footage a little one-on-one fun and just a lot of personality.

Prime Time Supporters: Oliver Savile in Ted Lasso
'Luca, are you naked in my kitchen???'
Indeed Luca was! I've been meaning to give Ted Lasso a try, but I needed a little push. That push came in the form of actor Oliver Savile who had a brief nude scene in the show's latest episode. After meeting Luca on an app, Rebecca brings him home for a one nighter. Luca gets up the next morning and and heads to the kitchen naked to make some tea. He one not one, but two visitors, Rebecca's mom and her housekeeper.

Thirst Trap
Here's Johnny!
Anyone who watches daytimes soaps know that there's a patter when new young actors are hired. Within their first few episodes, they quickly have to take their shirt off. They do this of course to attract attention and promote the new addition. I also think they do this early as when an actor is first hired, they're not likely to say no to anything...
I'm not currently watching Days Of Our Lives, but I do keep up with updates on Twitter. I saw that hottie Carson Boatman was recently hired to play Sami and EJ's son Johnny. When reading the recaps for last weeks episode I read that Johnny arrived in town. It didn't take long for the show to get Boatman out of his clothes with a scene of him sending thirst trap shirtless shots to Chanel. As you can see the actor and singer had plenty of practice taking off his shirt as a model.

Andrea Occhipinti: Actors & SKIN
Andrea Occhipinti was not a great actor, at least not in the few films that I saw, but he is certainly worthy of being on the big screen. That face, those eyes, that body! Watching he and Bo Derek 'act' in Bolero was more than cringe worthy, but you can't really put the blame on Andrea. The story and writing were week. Had John Derek taken out the dialogue, and just had Andrea and Bo running around naked to an orchestration of the Bolero theme, the movie might have been a hit.
Miranda (1985)
In this erotic comedy, Miranda is the landlady of a small country tavern who is looking for a husband, and tries out a variety of men for size.
Andrea comes off much better in 1985's Miranda. Maybe in part, because he gets to speak in his native Italian. Andrea also gets naked, fully naked, unlike Bolero, in the films opening scene.
If you watch the film, you'll notice a patch of dark hair on the top of Andrea's beautiful butt. I couldn't decided whether it turned me off, or turned me on. I was surprised to see it though. Natural as it may be, if the film had been an American production, he would have been waxed and shaved to save his life. I have to wonder what discussions took place between the director and producers about whether to keep the dark patch of hair.
I believe Andrea's appearance in Miranda and Bolero mark the actors only on-screen nudity. Despite his early bad performance reviews, he did continue to get steady work as an actor for the next few decades. Although he still acts occasionally, today, the beautiful actor has moved behind the scenes as a successful film producer and distributer.
Paparazzi shots
Bolero (1984)
Set in the 1920s, a young woman sets out to lose her virginity. Her mission leads her to a Moroccan sheikh and a Spanish bullfighter.
'Monumentally stupid as the plot may be, at least its faint outline can be perceived. The subplots defy understanding.'

More Favorites: Calvin Cobb
I always love finding new images of model Calvin Cobb and have featured some of my favorites before. (HERE:) Calvin is so sexy in front of the camera and seems to be pushing the envelope more with new work. Makes sense then, that Calvin recently started an OnlyFans page.
I have not joined yet, but plan it soon. These shots are all favorites that I saved prior to him starting his new page. Look forward to seeing what envelopes he pushes, and opens next!

End of the Seasonal Sightings:
'The beach is not always a place, sometimes it’s a feeling.'
Yes, the summer isn't over yet, but the end of August, especially for many of us on East Coast, unofficially means the end of most of our beach days. School starts in a week, and the nights are already (thankfully) getting a little cooler. I won't go so far as to say fall is in the air, but it is coming up the walk.
I start a folder on my desktop for each of the 4 seasons, for the seasonal sighting images I find. I'm not quite done with summer yet, but wanted to clear it out before Autumn arrives. I only got to the beach twice this summer, the first time, in early July, it was still too cold to go in the water.
I actually tend to go to the beach more in the winter than the summer. My dog used to love running on the sand without his leash. This is much easier in November and December when the beach is deserted. Everyone 'claims' to love dogs, but understandably, most of us don't like strange dogs running over their blanket with wet sandy paws.
My dog died a awhile ago, and I'm ready to get another. I started looking when Covid began last year, but as many of you know, finding a pet then was close to impossible. It worked out, as I had a fairly busy year between work and family matters and wouldn't have had the time a new pet requires. Hoping this winter, that might change. I'm looking to many winter beach days ahead with friends, with family, and hopefully soon, a new pup who enjoys a beach day as much as I do.

' I have bit of a reputation for being the first one naked at a party...'
An aversion to wearing pants is a plus for a model who shoots nudes, but I'm glad model Will Gardner isn't adverse to all forms of fashion. Now one might argue that sport socks are not really considered fashion, but it was a pair of sport socks that first drew me to Will's work. I was on Model Mayhem and noticed Will's avatar image. In the image, Will was sitting on the floor wearing a white shirt, tight white briefs and a pair of striped sport sock. I found the image incredibly hot and proceeded to click to see more.
The image, (below) was shot by Bradley_Reyes Photo, a pair of artists whose work I've admired for awhile. I love their fusion of form and design and spectacular lines and curves within their work. I was also impressed with the strength and creative array of imagery Will put together in his port. Especially impressive given Will only began modeling early last year, mere weeks before the onset of the pandemic.
As you can see from this series of images, some of Will's favorites, the Los Angeles based model has worked with a variety of some of the best chroniclers of the male form. I love the confidence Will expresses in front of the lens, and the creative risks he takes. Although Will's images are incredibly hot, they seamlessly mesh art with eroticism with visually stimulating results! In addition to sharing some of his favorite shots, Will graciously shared many of his experiences since entering the modeling world last year.
What or who first brought you to modeling?
JT Seaton, he's (jtfotoguy). He's awesome. Very professional and made my first shoot comfortable and fun.
Can you tell me about your first shoot?
JT reached out to me over Grindr, at the time I think I had a couple selfies and maybe the photo of me looking out at Las Vegas on there. He let me know that he thought I would be great for a photoshoot, and he would love to shoot me sometime and linked me to his Instagram to see what sort of shots he gets.
Now, I had really just started to branch out and gain confidence, and greatly desiring to try a photoshoot, I jumped on this opportunity, but was not 100% sure what to expect and wanted to make sure I brought what he was looking for to the shoot. So he and I decided I would come over and we’d sit down for coffee and just chat so that we could build a rapport and make sure I was comfortable. Well we sat down, and I really wasn’t expecting it, but we talked and time flew by chatted for about 4 hours.
We decided to shoot the following week. I think it was early February 2020, and I had a blast. JT was very patient and professional with me and offered quite a bit of direction, which was fantastic. I was comfortable and don’t mind nudity, so we ended up shooting nude artistic and erotic shots for his website as well as clothed, underwear, and even my detective Pikachu costume from Halloween the previous year. The shoot was long compared to a lot of shoots I do nowadays, we shot for about 6 hours, but it was such a good time. Afterwards I was starving though and it started my tradition of getting McDonalds after a long shoot / weekend of shooting.
What has been your favorite experience modeling thus far?
It is so hard to pin down at this point because I have had so many great experiences. If I had to choose one, it was shooting with Josh and Andre of (Bradley_Reyes_Photography) in February of 2021. It wasn’t my best outing as a model, due to my being up late the night before with friends and I was hungover (This was actually the shoot that made me swear off ever being hungover for a shoot again, because I was feeling so bad). It was one of the few times I have ever struggled to get and stay hard for erotic shots. I even ran late to the shoot, but they were gracious and professional and were still able to make it work.
They had a vision for the shoot and clearly had a lot of experience which I tried to learn from as much as I could. They were prepared with outfits and the location was beautiful. The natural light that came through different locations of the house made for some amazing photos, and I still even use one of our shots as my profile picture across a lot of my social media. I am looking forward to shooting with them again at some point now that I have grown even more as a model.
Any odd or strange stories from any shoots?
I am not quite sure it counts as odd per se, but when I shot with (mehphotography1) in May 2021, I had actually broken my foot the day before. I didn’t know it, just thought it may be a sprain, but I did all of our shoots while limping around and in quite a bit of pain. It was not until the next day when I got an xray that I discovered that my foot was actually broken.
Have you had any what you might qualify as odd or strange offers or requests?
I keep up a professional wall as best I can when at a shoot, but that still doesn’t stop some photographers from overstepping. I try to be very clear that I am at a shoot for us to create art first and foremost. I am fine with nudity and erotic shots for platforms like OnlyFans, but I am NOT at a shoot just so the photographer can see me naked or for them to try and get touchy.
For something a bit more strange, it does seem like some photographers very much enjoy having models pose on or in uncomfortable areas. Notably, I’ve been asked to crouch in bushes absolutely swarming with bees, lay in the most uncomfortable positions possible on a tree with branches poking up in awkward ways, bury my naked dick in sand and more.
What factors did you weigh before deciding to shoot nudes?
It was something that I considered heavily before starting to shoot. At this point in my life, I am absolutely not shy, or ashamed of my body, but there is the fact that once these things are out on the internet, they can be found forever. I ultimately decided that is something that I am fine with as it is just as much a part of me as anything else. Which is the same reason why I don’t use a pseudonym or stage name.
On a scale from 1-10 how nervous were? What was your biggest concern or worry?
I’d say a 2. Very minimal nervousness, but there is always the thought of “What if” like, “What if this hurts me when I look for job opportunities in the future?” But I have come to realize that anyone who would care about something to that level would not be someone I would want to work with any way.
Did the response from friends/family enter into your decision?
Not particularly. I do shoots for myself because I enjoy them. But they have all been very supportive. And my aversion for pants is well known (and now, VERY well documented haha), so they understand.
Had you ever been naked in public before modeling?
I have been to Black’s Beach in San Diego a couple times and went full nude there. Otherwise, I have bit of a reputation for being the first one naked at a party, though at this point it's played for laughs.
What are your boundaries for a shoot? Have you ever said no to a concept or shot idea?
I touched on this previously, but I try to set clear boundaries for photographers prior to the shoot about the type of content we will be making. I am not on board with touching without asking ahead of time. Ultimately it is about intent, as I am not creating content as a part of anyone’s kinks, but rather because I enjoy the creative process and have no shame. But having no shame is not the same as not understanding my worth, and I have no interest in being taken advantage of in a negative way.
What's the best compliment you received about one of your modeling images?
The one that has really stuck with me, was someone saying that I was “Like a Greek statue.”
Is there a photographer you would really love to be shot by?
Alberto Photographer. He’s based in the UK, and I love his work. The shots are so clear and the backlighting he does combined with the shot composition and editing is just perfect. I would love to work with him at some point if I made it out to the UK to shoot.
What part of your body are you most happy with? What part gets the most attention from others?
As a model, we probably get tunnel vision on parts of our bodies we want to improve more than your average person. My butt and my chest probably get the most attention, and I am proud of those, but I’d say I am most happy with my shoulders.
Why do you think you like modeling?
I like modeling because I am inherently a creative individual. I always have been, and I love the collaborative process. Plus, in my adult life I have gotten really into fitness. So modeling gives me the opportunity to flex those muscles, both creative and physical.
Do you have a dream scenario for a shoot you'd love to do?
I would love to do a cosplay shoot if I ever dive in and buy or make a cosplay. I think it would be a departure from most of my work and very interesting and fun to shoot. Maybe it’ll happen this year on or around Halloween!
What made you decide to open an OnlyFans?
It's fun to have. I enjoy posting that type of content online and making a little bit of extra money for doing things that I would be doing anyway, just now on camera haha. It is (or was) also a good outlet for artistic content that isn’t a good fit for Instagram or Model Mayhem.
What can those who join your page expect?
A lot of solo content, but I am excited to say that I am gonna be branching out and getting some other folks in videos soon. I also post the erotic photos that I can’t post elsewhere. I keep the cost on the subscription very affordable and I enjoy interacting with the people that reach out!

Below Deck: Tyler
For the last 6 episodes of season 6 of Below Deck, Tyler Rowland joined the crew as a deckhand on the My Seanna. I was instantly drawn to Tyler's love of both the land and sea. Born and raised in the mountains of Washington State, Tyler grew up exploring lakes and rivers with dreams of travelling the world. After completing his fourth season as a Federal Forest Firefighter in Colorado, Tyler moved to Southern California where he was introduced to the world of sailing.
As you can see, Tyler's move to California also included some modeling. Reality television producers love to include models, but in Tyler's case, he also had experience sailing. Tyler still has a profile on Model Mayhem, (HERE:) but it doesn't appear he's been active in awhile.
Unfortunately, Tyler didn't appear to have the best taste in women. He hooked up with Rhylee, a deckhand who I couldn't stand. She was obnoxious and disrespectful, and made watching the season mostly unpleasant. I'll cut Tyler a bit of slack however, given he was living in close quarter out at sea without many options.
On the plus side, I do have to thanks Rhylee for getting Tyler into bed, and so quickly. As any viewer of reality television knows, where the couple goes, so does the camera. The cameras provided a couple of great views of Tyler's incredible ass. He also seemed to have no issue lying completely naked exposing his junk to the camera as well. Sadly... those shots were blurred.

Favorite Face of the Day: Andrea Occhipinti
'The bed is a selfish place. In it, we seem to give only so that we may receive.'
Angel, Bolero
I love the retro movie channel. It doesn't play the classics like TCM does but in some ways that works to it's advantage. Recently I saw that 1984's Bolero was airing. I can't really remember if I'd ever seen the John Derek directed film. I've seen clips, and the nude scene featuring Italian actor Andrea Occhipinti, but don't think I ever actually watched the entire film.
I still haven't actually watched the whole thing. I tried last weekend, but the movie is pretty bad. Much of the writing and the acting are cringe worthy. Visually however, it was a beautiful film. What stood out to me as I fast forwarded through the film was just how beautiful Andrea Occhipinti . Yes, he got a lot of attention of his body, but he has one of the most beautiful faces, and one of the sexiest smiles.
As beautiful as his face is, you can't watch (or partly watch) Bolero without appreciating Occhipinti's incredible body. In addition to his role of Angel in Bolero, the actor only had one other nude scene. Those two were enough however, to make him the perfect choice for Actors & Skin.

I'm Going to Love It!
I've watched Love It or List It Vancouver several times over the years, but it's usually a background show. A show I have on in the background when I'm doing working on something else. Recently, I was down with a cold for a few days and watched a few episodes of a marathon on HGTV.
This time I paid closer attention, especially to carpenter Kenny Gemmill, Kenny the calm center as hots Jillian Harris reacts to the issues which arise with each house. I especially love when Kenny wears his glasses!
Also a firefighter, I found this beefcake shot from a few years ago when Kenny posed for a charity calendar for the Vancouver Fire Department.
