One-Piece: Travis by Bob Burkhardt
'Travis was definitely comfortable in his own skin.'
We're often at our most comfortable when wearing only one piece. I know when I'm home, and have it all to myself, the only thing that I wear is a pair of boxer briefs. For some it's a warm bathrobe or a comfy pair of sweat pants, but we all have our 'go-to' piece of clothing that wear far too often, and for far too long. There's no need to mix and match or color coordinate, the only real criteria, is how it feels on your skin.
Some of my favorite shoots focused on the male form incorporate just one main piece of clothing. It's purpose isn't to cover, or to actually be worn. It's role in part is to provide a visual contrast between material and skin. It's also serves as a creative tool for the model and often stimulated unique looks and poses.
Last month, I featured images of Travis from photographer Bob Burkhardt. (Archivally Assessed) In that first piece, I focused on images of Travis and his tight red t-shirt. I loved how Travis used the shirt to spotlight and frame his incredible physique and the many creative looks that Bob was able to capture with just the one piece of clothing.
For this series, the one piece of clothing a grey hoodie. Although the grey isn't as eye-catching as the red, the hoodie works the same magic by providing Travis with the perfect item to help draw attention, an the viewers eye, too specific parts of his beautiful body.
As visually appealing as the one-piece of clothing can be, it also serves as way to reveal. Although Travis is nude while utilizing the hoodie, without it...he's naked. Although the difference is subtle, and no more is actually shown, there's a difference in feel with and without just that one-piece of clothing.

Quaternate: Jack Saul Photography
There are certain themes and concepts that consistently arise whenever I featured the work of photographer Jack Saul. I was first drawn to the London based photographer back in 2015 after seeing his work in the Model Mayhem pic of the day contests. I was drawn to the honesty and raw eroticism within Jack's imagery and unique selection of models that Jack worked with.
Jack's up close and personal way of shooting also frequently brings out unique aspects of his model's personality that not every artist chooses to capture. As you can clearly see, Jack shoots many stunning images and elegant poses, but I often find myself drawn to the fun, sometimes even silly sides of the models in front of his lens.
Although He knows what he wants from a shoot, Jack also encourages his models to improvise and have fun utilising the spaces and locations they're shooting in. This can lead to Jack snapping various goofy facial expressions and sometimes award body movements as the models get into the perfect pose. These images are often my favorites and one of the reasons I'm continually drawn back to Jack's extensive portfolio.

Prime-Time Supporters: Paul James
'Hey Tour de France.'
So FH readers know that normally, when it comes to new television shows, I'm often running late. Usually, when I see a show I like, I DVR it, or watch it months later On-Demand. My undying love for Vanessa Bayer however, has me watching I Love That For You, as soon as SHOWTIME releases it's new episodes each weekend.
I loved Vanessa on Saturday Night Live and have followed her career ever since. I've been looking forward to her new show on SHOWTIME since first hearing about it months ago. In I Love That For You, Bayer plays Joanna Gold, a host on the shopping channel SVN (Special Value Network) who uses her childhood cancer to help solidify her new job and on-air persona.
Much like this writer, Joanna began crushing over production assistant Jordan Wahl from their very first meeting. Jordan is played by actor Paul James, and on a network full of wannabes, Paul seems the only sweet one on the payroll. Many of you may know Paul from his roles on Torchwood, The Last Ship and Greek, and his his nude scene in last seasons re-boot of HBO's Gossip Girl.
Again, like Joanna, my crush turned to full on lust after watching Jordan change his shirt after arriving to work on his bike. Bayer and actor Paul James are certainly highlights, but the cast is full of talented scene stealers. Molly Shannon and Jennifer Lewis are fantastic and actor Matt Rogers is hilarious as Patricia's (Lewis) assistant. If you haven't checked it out yet, and enjoy Bayer's unique and hilarious comedy style, the show is just four episodes in with the fifth coming this weekend.

You're The Top:
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet
A Shakespeare's sonnet
You're Mickey Mouse
Although I was in quite a few plays and musicals when I was younger, I was never in Anything Goes. I did however, become quite familiar with the Cole Porter musical, thanks to a crush. One of my best friends played Moonface Martin in a local community production and I often picked him up from rehearsals.
I usually arrived early to sit at the back for a bit to watch before the rehearsal was over. It was there that I became familiar with the score, and the hottie who played Billy Crocker. I have a vivid memory of sitting in the back one day when 'Billy' was having his costume fitting.
He and the costume designer came to the back of the theatre to try on a costume. They stood about five feet from me and the guy playing Billy took off his jeans as if he was a lone and slipped on his costume. When he took off the costume, he stood there in just his baby blue briefs, waiting for stage hand to bring more costumes for him to try on. The stage hand was slow, giving me close to five minutes to enjoy the baby blue view.
That memory had me interested in watching the recent PBS airing of the London revival of the show. The show featured Sutton Foster in the lead role of Reno and Samuel Edwards as Billy Crocker. I hadn't heard of Edwards before, but after watching I had to start Googling. I really enjoyed Edwards in the role, much more than Foster, who seemed to be phoning it in. Foster is usually fantastic, and maybe it was just her take on the character, but her performance seemed... a bit lazy. Edwards on the other hand, was full of energy.

R.I.P Ray Liotta
I haven't done too many R.I.P posts the last few years. Between the sociopath in the White House, the pandemic, unrest and war, I wanted FH to be a break from daily stressors. This week, that is needed even more than ever. I did however want to note the passing of actor Ray Liotta.
Revolver (2005)
Rarely the star, Liotta still managed to shine in almost every project and role he took on. I went to the movies at least once a week in the 90's and 2000's and it felt like Liotta was in almost every second or third movie I saw. I'm not sure when my crush began, it may have been in 1992's Unlawful Entry. According to those who knew him, Liotta often played against type. In real life, he is described as incredibly sweet and incredibly kind. R.I.P Mr. Liotta

Artists That Inspire
First 2 images from Alberto de Chirico![]()
When FH began, I first listed all the contributors on the side of the site. At the time, I never imagined I would still be working on the FH ten plus years later and collaborated on stories with hundreds of photographers. I changed my link category title to 'recent contributes' and started Artist's Who Inspire to ensure all of the artists who have appeared on the site were credited.

Southern Charm: Cayman by Gordon Nebeker
A couple of months ago I saw an image of a model that grabbed my attention. Thanks to a quick Google image search, I learned the image was taken by Palm Springs Men, a photographer whose work I've had the privilege to previous feature on the site. (HERE:) The hot man in focus, turned out to be model, personal trainer and nutrition coach Cayman Cardiff
I began a 'favorites' piece featuring Cayman's work and began searching for images. When I was going through Cayman's Instagram, I realized that I actually had seen his work before. There was a shot of Cayman from from one of my favorites photographers Gordon Nebeker. I then headed to Gordon's Instagram to see more.
I remembered enjoying Gordon's presentations of his work with Cayman by didn't initially connect that the two models were one in the same. Cayman is able to subtly transform his incredible look, especially with hair length and facial hair. If you check out these two shoots with Gordon, you'll easily see what I mean. There is a tell though... it's Cayman's sexy rosy red cheeks.
Gordon worked with Cayman twice, both in Utah. The first time, he captured the first four of images featured here. For the first shoot, Cayden was clean shaven with shorter hair. For the second shoot, from last September, Cayman had longer hair with his facial hair growing in.
Second Shoot:
'Long, Lean, and Languid, Cayman is originally from Georgia but I didn’t detect any Southern accent when we talked. The Southern charm and politeness is still there!'
During the first shoot, the weather was so hot that Cayman and Gordon moved their location to a nearby canyon in search of a breeze. There was a creek that Cayman dipped his toes in but even though the air was hot, the water was was far to cold to venture any further in. For the second shoot, they worked in the mountains, just above the Utah Salt Flats. For this shoot, Cayman danced in the desert, silhouetted in the afternoon sun with the gold cloth. You can check out more of Gordon's Work with Cayman on Gordon's Instagram and Twitter.

The Concierge...
I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but last week, I binged the first two and half episodes of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. I didn't really intend to, most of the women on the show annoying the crap out of me. After half-watching the first episode, I found myself wanting to know more about Michael....
If anyone watched, Michael Churchill was the host, guide, concierge and ultimate hottie for the housewives at their resort. Michael is a man of many talents, including his regular gig as a DJ. Michael doesn't seem to want too much attention from his gig, and I'm curious how he ended up being the main man on the show.
He easily grabbed my attention, just as he did the women, especially those horny housewives from New York. Luanne never a let an opportunity to flirt go by, and had no issue flinging off her clothes to flash poor Michael. He rolled with the punches and managed to keep a smile on his face.

Tickled & Tinkered
I remember crushing over actor Zach Tinker when he was on The Young and the Restless, (above) a few years ago. Sadly, the show didn't understand the hotness it had on it's hands and did next to nothing with the character. Thankfully, Days of our Lives seems more aware of Tinker's talents.
Thankfully Days re-cast the role of Sonny, bringing on an actor with a bit more range and a lot more sex appeal. Although I'm not currently watching the show, seeing a few shots of television icon Grant Tinker's grandson Zach in bed with Leo, (Greg Rikaart) grabbed my attention...
Anyone who has ever watched a soap knows that 'drugging' is common method for the bad girl to trap her man. Usually, the bad girl ends up pregnant, and the hero leaves his heroine to do right by his unborn child. It doesn't matter that the 'drugging' was actually a rape and that the baby, usually ends up not being the poor sod who put a ring on it.
Last week, as part of what appears to be a revenge plot, Leo drugged poor Leo and took him to bed. Now, as I said, I'm not watching, but I'm positive there was no sex involved. Although soaps have come a long way, I'm guessing they're not yet ready for a male rape story, outside of a prison story that is.
Looks like Leo's plot is just to cause Sonny some trouble and publish a story about their 'wild night together.' I'm guessing given Sonny's fairly decent reputation, that this won't go too far, but I'll have to check out the recaps this week to find out!

Happy Trails:
Back in 2016, I had the privilege to feature the work of photographer and former fashion designer Dominick Avellino. (A Layered Addition) Some might remember the talented artist for his successful sportwear line in the 70's and 80's under the name DD Dominick.
After the piece was published, we continued to communicate and were planning a follow-up spotlighting his work with the hot cowboy featured here. I thought of that follow-up earlier this year and e-mailed Dominick about the next piece. I didn't hear back and decided to try messaging him on Model Mayhem since that's where we first connected. I was saddened to read that Dominick left us in 2018. Happy Trails to the talented artist and hoping your resting easy.
