Six More Weeks? ❄️
Six more weeks? Well, since I'm posting this the night before Groundhog day, I don't know whether Punxsutawney Phil actually saw his shadow or not. Either way, there is still some winter to come, and still more hunks stripping down in the snow. Check out more of my favorites, (all wearing a winter necessity) on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Out of the Shadows
' I would love to have a real one...'
I've been showcasing holiday themed imagery since the site's early days. Groundhog Day however, only came officially on board in 2019. That's when I asked Tom Nakielski, (Lights On Studio) about shooting something for the February 2nd non-official holiday. If you're a long time FH viewer, you know Tom has incorporated animals into many of his shoots. Over the years, there have been several bunnies, and broods of baby chicks.
For Groundhog Day, I initially asked Tom about doing something with shadows, I didn't think an actual Groundhog would be in the mix. Still, Tom was determined. He put on a call on Facebook to see if anyone in his area had a groundhog as a pet. As you might have guessed, Tom didn't get any responses. He then put out a call for real, but taxidermy version. Still no response. It was then I discovered there were all kinds of cute and furry stuffed versions on Amazon.
With Michael Moody, one of my favorite models on board, the shoot was set. If you saw the original piece, (HERE:) you might remember that after spending a days in a box in transit, that rodent arrived both ready, and really randy. Although Michael was dapperly dressed as the toastmaster, the Groundhog was soon using his teeth to try to undress poor Michael. Thankfully, Michael was able to use his strength, and sword fighting skills, to fight off the monomaniacal mammal.
Over the next few years, Tom brought the Groundhog out of it's box to terrorize another 3 other models, all, who also had to fight off the furry one's advances. Last year, with Tom not able to shoot, the furry fellow was boxed off and sent to meet up and shoot with Lucerys. (HERE:) Lucery's seemed to become the Groundhog whisper, with the rascally rodent puddy in his hands, and his pelvis. Instead of shooing the rodent way from his genitals, Lucerys allowed him to explore. This seemed to calm the little cutie down.
After an altercation with Lucerys dog however, I believe over both wanting to mark their Lucerys territory, the rodent had to again leave his home. This year, he flew to Texas to live with another Tom, this time Tom from TR Pics. The hope, was that the furry little fellow would begin his retirement in a warmer, and sunnier local. As you may know though, Texas has been hit with a cold snap, so the randy rodent was put back at work. Not only once again predicting the length of winter, but also posing with two new hot and naked snacks. Check out Randy's shoot with Axel below, and Alby on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
12 Days: Kian Lawley in Before I Fall
'Live your life like there's no tomorrow...'
When it comes to Groundhog Day, there's still only one definitive film, the 1993 hit starring Bill Murray and directed by Harold Ramis. Over the years, I've featured the film, the cast, even the Broadway production based on the film. When it comes to the silly February 2nd faux holiday, there really isn't much material to draw from.
I featured a few television shows with Groundhog Day themed episodes, but usually I return to the theme from the 1993 film, the genre of films based in a time loop. A character repeats the same day, again and again, until the lesson they need to learn sinks in. This year, when looking for a time, or temporal loop film, I came across the 2017 psychological drama, Before I Fall.
In Before I Fall, the bratty Sam (Zoey Deutch) leads a charmed life. She's beautiful, has a great house, a wealthy family and wakes up to it being February 12th, Cupid day at school. The day boys secretly, or not secretly send roses to the girl's they crush over. Turns out, Cupid day, could be Sam's last.
As we quickly learn, Sam is stuck reliving her last day over and over and struggles to untangle the mystery around her death and discovers everything she's losing. If I didn't mention already, Sam is part of a pack of mean girls, who we learn are partly responsible for pushing another student over the edge. Sam also has a boyfriend, and is planning on having sex for the first time with him that night.
When the bad boy boyfriend Rob appeared on screen, I did an instant 'who dat?' I'd never seen Kian Lawley in anything before. Turns out, many fans of the male form are familiar with Kian, not for his work as an actor, but for his role as a Youtuber and Vlogger. Kian through his Youtube channel, Kian has been collaborating with others, (most notably JC Caylen) since 2010.
Lawley and Caylen are maybe most well known for producing The Reality House, a popular Big Brother-style competition web series. Launched in 2019, the show features various influencers competing in challenges for a cash prize (up to $50,000–$100,000 in later seasons). Although I had not heard of the series, it seems it's very popular with millions of views .
Lawley, now a father, and recently engaged, seems have moved beyond his days as a Vlogger. Back in the day however, it didn't take much for him to drop trou for a prank or a bit on his show. Thankfully, fans saved some of his mooning moments.
Fur on Fur: Axel Porter by TR Pics
'I thought posing with the Groundhog was a great and fun idea. '
When it comes to holiday themes, especially on involving a stuffed groundhog, it's essential to get into the spirit. As you can see, both Tom from TR Pics and model Axel Porter embraced the spirit, the fun and the sexy silliness of the theme. As you know, Tom loves a creative challenge and as soon as I suggested the idea, he saw the fun, and the possibilities in the idea.
Given the how central the rodent's shadow is to his predictions, Tom wanted to ensure there was a
prominent shadow throughout the series shots. Tom shares that it helped that Axel was also such a great sport, embracing the concept, and doing a great job coming up with cute poses and creative ways to interact with his furry little friend. Axel also shares his experiences modeling working with Tom, and the cute, but randy rodent.
Who or what led me to modeling?
My friend Rich works for a local LGBTQIA+ news paper her in the Dallas area, The Dallas Voice. In 2024 he asked me to model for their swimsuit edition, I had just did my first bodybuilding show and of course happily agreed because I felt I was looking really good. I had such a great time during the shoot I fell in love with it.
Did I always know that modeling nude would be a part of the job?
For this shoot, yes I did. When I first started I knew it was a possibility since I had already been doing solo content on OF and posting online.
Do I have any favorite, moments from my shoots thus far?
Some of my favorite moments are when I try on something that I normally would not normally wear. I am a t-shirt and shorts guy, and the first time I wore a crop top was in a photo shoot, same with a speedo, thong. etc. I did a shoot where I wore leather cuffs for the first time and I absolutely loved it.
How did I connect with Tom?
So I met Tom when modelling swim wear for a local designer, R_Ramrodd on all his socials I believe. Tom was the photographer for the shoot and he asked me to do more shoots with him, and of course I said yes. Since then Tom and I have worked together for a few photoshoots and a few scenes for OF.
What did I think when he first mentioned shooting with a furry little rodent?
I laughed. I thought it was a great and fun idea. I even started thinking of different ways and poses to do with the little guy. It was so much fun
Any memories, comments about the shoot?
The one that stands out the most is I had my hand in the puppet, as you would with a puppet. Tom, with a straight face, looked at me and said something about us not filming a fisting scene, and I laughed so hard.
What is my favorite part about working with Tom?
Tom is always making me laugh. Every shoot or filming he is cracking a joke or making some witty remark. He almost never misses a beat too. I always have such a great time working with Tom.
Anything to share about my OF? What can those who join expect?
One thing to share is I post at least once a week and I am, usually, willing to try making new content for my fans. As for what to expect... expect a lot my ass getting pounded 🤪 Also expect me working with many different guys and body types. I like to make sure everyone feels sexy.
