Shirtless With The Stars


Guest judge Ricky Martin lucked out this week as Dancing With The Stars went shirtless on Monday. Both remaining male contestants, Charlie White and actor James Maslow had their shirts torn off as well as all of the male pros. Although I love me some Charlie, I have to say that Maslow looked especially fetching with his shirt left on the dance floor.


I do think Charlie's stern look, (above) is justified as although he has put in one incredible performance after another this season, he continually gets beaten up by the judges. Hopefully he will bounce back to give his skating dance partner a run for the trophy.

Back in March, I first featured the work of Georgia photographer Jesse from JDT Photography. (The Spring Suspension) Although on the late March day it was officially spring, as I was piecing together the feature, the snow and wind was whipping at my windows as a late season snow storm hammered down any signs of spring that dared to rise from the ground.


Today, as May's arrival is beautifully welcomed, I think... spring has finally officially arrived. Although the air still hovers around the freezing mark at night, tulips have risen and humans are venturing into their yards and gardens to begin the ritual or summer preparation. It seems appropriate then, given I featured Jesse's exterior images to help me deal with the winter, we know look inside at some of Jesse's studio work.

Living in Georgia, Jesse deals with the weather in different ways than those of us in the north. Jesse says that finding somewhere beautiful to shoot outside is rarely a problem, regardless of what the calendar says. What I love about Jesse's images is the thread of calmness that run through his work both outside and within studio.

Next four images, Blakely

There is a quietness when your outside, deep in the woods, especially when you're alone. That same feeling penetrates internally within his studio shots, especially in the images below, as well as and image I chose for pic of the day. Some images scream for the viewers attention, but Jesse's quietly whisper instead. The call is not as noisy, but has equal weight and force.



More of the Magnificent Matthias


Back in 2009 I first featured German actor Matthias Schweighöfer and his impressive body of work. In that feature (HERE:) I showcased images from his work in 2007's Das Wilde Leben' and Kammerflimmern and Baal, both in 2004.


Well ten years after Baal, (below) Matthias continues to take on roles, and take off his clothes, in both movies and German television shows. I love Matthias look, his incredible body and great face, freckles and beautiful blue eyes. Given the actor seems to be comfortable naked in front of the camera, I felt it my civic duty to update you all, since my 2009 piece, with more of my favorite Matthias moments.

In Half Bloom


To me, Orlando Bloom always looks great. Whether frolicing on a Santa Barbara beach on Easter weekend with his dog and a friend. (first two pics) Whether on a Broadway stage as Romeo or on horseback with long blonde locks and elf ears as Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy...


He of course look especially good wearing nothing in the feature film Zulu.


For me however, Orlando is never hotter when at half Bloom, as he was recently showing a bit of butt cleavage while picking up something from the ground while at the airport. This marks Orlando's third, and my guess not last, appearance in the Celebrity Butt Crack section of FH.

Blast From The Bast: Jack Coleman: The Dynasty Years


I was never really a watcher of Dynasty but growing up that did not stop me from becoming aware of it's male candy filled cast. Jeff Colby's furry chest, Dex Dexter's raw sexuality and blonde, blue eyed and bi-sexual, youngest brother Steven Carrington.

Above: Jack sandwiched between George Takei and Heroes co-star Zachary Quinto.

Although many most know Dynasty's second Steven, actor Jack Coleman from NBC's Heroes, or his recent stints on The Office and Scandal, Coleman got his start back in 1981 on the daytime soap Days Of Our Lives. When Dynasty's producers were looking to replace the gay, no straight, no gay, no straight brother Steven, Coleman's blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes won him the role.

Coleman was more traditionally 'pretty boy' than his predecessor, Al Corley but by then, the ABC Prime Time Soap seemed more interested in look than substance anyway and Coleman eventually won over the viewing audience with his portrayal of the character and that beautiful face of his. Coleman has been a fixture on network television since the show went off the air in 1988 and has appeared on a number of shows including The Vampire Diaries, Burn Notice and Castle. Dynasty's writers may have been bi-polar when writing Steven's sexuality, but the characters relationships were men were some of televisions first gay relationships (soapy and all) to be explored on a weekly basis on a major network drama.


Steven Carrington never had difficulty attracting the ladies, including Sammy Jo and Claudia.
