My My Mr. Phillips!

Stephen by Patrick Lacsina

'From the farm to the runway'


In addition to his images of Elvis (below) we credit StudioMGphotography for inspiring this piece.  Last year, Mark mentioned that he and husband Mike Tossy had watched Anne With An E on Netflix. Having visited Prince Edward Island, I knew it was scenic location with endless red sandy beaches.  Even though I'd been there, for some reason, I hadn't yet checked out the newest version of the tales of Green Gables.

The show certainly shows the breathtaking island at it's rugged and breathtaking best with the shows cinematography especially impressive.  In addition to Anne and her friends and family, the fist season also introduces us to Mr. Phillips, one of Anne's teachers at Avonlea school.  Now Mr. Phillips isn't exactly the teacher you want to bring a big red apple to.  In addition to having an secret affair with Prissy Andrews, one of his students, he's also not particularly kind to Anne.

Mr. Phillips is very strict and doesn't shy away from embarrassing his students and inflicting corporal punishment on the students he considers to be especially unruly, especially Anne.  Outside of the classroom, Mr. Phillips is revealed to be a man full of contradictions and Anne's friends Cole speculated his behavior in part might be due to his repressed homosexuality.  It's no wonder Prissy ended up leaving him at the alter.

The actor playing the stern school teacher is also full of contradictions, and looks completely different without the log wig and moustache.  Stephen Tracey is not only a phenomenal actor, but also a writer, illustrator, photographer and as you can see from these images, an incredibly hot model.

'Tracey was born and raised in the province of Alberta. Most of his childhood was spent on his family’s farm- where he formed a devoted love for animals. Still to this day, Stephen carries the grace, beauty and temperament of his kindred spirit- the horse.'
