FaVorites: Malik
If you're a fan of the male form, and if you've check out Montreal's Stock Bar, either in person, or on their incredible site, (HERE:) you've probably familiar with Malik. Malik is one of Stock Bar's most well known an popular performers due to his powerful performances and incredible work on the poll. If you haven't seen Malik's naked upside down circles on the poll, you really don't know what you're missing...
Although the pandemic meant Stock Bar's doors are closed for now, they are planning their reopening. I plan on finally making it there once it's safe to travel again. In the meantime, the club's site has an incredible archive (HERE:) of performances including many great ones of Malik. You can also check out more of Malik on his OnlyFans (HERE) and some of my favorite shots of the talented performer on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
A Deliberate Deviation
Last year, I did a post about certain celebrities I no longer wanted to feature or promote on FH. For me, it wasn't about politics really, I respect others with different beliefs, and those who I differ with politically. The post was more about celebrities who supported a certain politician, and my belief this Politian, and many of their supporters, promoted hate, cruelty and multiple forms of bigotry and hate.
I'm choosing to make a deliberate deviation however for this post on actor Jon Voight. I featured Voight several times over the years, mostly in birthday and award show posts. I was always fascinated by Voight as an actor, especially so me of his early choices of roles, and his complicated relationship with his politically differing daughter. I thought I'd posted all of Voight's on screen nudity, but last week, when preparing my Mother's Day posts, I came upon a full frontal scene from a movie I hadn't heard of before. Check out the scene, and the Mother's Day connection that led me to it. on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
A Jenner Jolt
Over the last year or so, being at home more due to the pandemic, I watched shows that I'd previously avoided. I snobbishly enjoyed saying that I'd never watched a 'Housewives' show, but I can't say that anymore. I also have to admit that I'm better for it, Dorinda's Berkshire manor parties got me through many stressful nights.
I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch anything Kardashian related. I'm not really a fan. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like the show, like the Housewives franchise, I know better than to think I couldn't get sucked in. Having never seen Keep Up With The Kardashians or The Hills, my relationship to Brody Jenner is strictly image related. In the early 2010's, I chronicled each and every butt crack shot that I could find.
Recently, I came across a video of The Hills: New Beginnings in which Jenner flashed a bit more than just a touch of crack. Although it was steamy in that shower, I believe we saw the most of Brody's booty than we've seen before. As you can see from the shot from his Instagram story below, Jenner wanted to ensure he had a great all over tan for his reality show butt baring.
How It Should Be: Eduin by TR Pics
'Eduin doesn't stand there, he's is one of those rare models who is lyrical in his posing.. Plus, he loves being nude and had no problems and was anything but shy.'
I'm always interested in how artists and models first meet and connect. In most cases, it's because one has seen the work of the other, then reaches out about collaborating. There are certainly other avenues of connection and photographer Tom Rubeck's (TR Pics) introduction to Eduin is certainly one of the most unique and fun stories that I've heard. I'm not sure if you believe in kismet, but after hearing how they met, and how both describe their creative collaboration, it seems like fate that they would end up working together.
It all began by Tom deciding to join his husband at a party. Now this wasn't your average social function or dinner party, the event was a naked yoga party. Given the theme, you'd guess it might be the perfect place to meet up with perspective models. Eduin is a massage therapist and was also in attendance at the part, he arrived two other therapists that he often works with. It wasn't Tom however who made the first move, it was his husband who suggested that the trio of masseur's pose for Tom.
'Sooo... I reach out. Eduin had never posed for photos before (he's only 21), and although he said he was a bit nervous, he was a natural. . Our first session went so well, that we started thinking of themes, like for Christmas and Valentine's. And I've even taken some advertising images for his massage work. He always seems truly amazed at how well he comes off on the camera, and I hope to continue to work with him a lot more in the future.'
I could feel Tom's enthusiasm back in January when he first mentioned his work with Eduin. They'd already shot several times, and had plans for more creative themes and ideas to capture. Tom sent on a few of his favorite shots from their work so far, and was excited to be able to spotlight their work together. Although this was Eduin's first professional photoshoot, I could see the naturalness that Tom described. Eduin looked like he'd been in front of the camera for years.
'At first, I didn't rally know what to do so I decided to follow examples of Greek sculptures. It helped to have a base to work with. Tom helped direct and explain certain poses which taught me how to work with the camera and my surroundings.'
Eduin
When you think of something as 'coming naturally' you might assume that means it was easy. Usually things that appear natural are organic and occur seamlessly without stress or struggle. Eduin really enjoyed the shooting experience and says in addition to having a lot of fun, Tom helped him feel comfortable in front of the camera. Feeling comfortable with his body, and especially being naked, was something new for him.
'I've always been shy and never liked being in the spot light, I never felt comfortable being shirtless outside and be seen by others, mainly since I've always been criticized on my weight (too big, too skinny), color, proportions like hip size or nose size, masculinity and so many things that I know we can relate. One day I realized how much power I've given to other people and for what? So I decided to take it back and take steps to overcome my insecurities, since then I dedicated myself to doing things I never thought I could do, like pose nude phot, I just started living.'
Every time Tom and I do a photoshoot I forget we're doing a photoshoot, we're just always laughing, trying any pose we can think of. That's why I never felt uncomfortable being naked, it was normal, how it should be. Especially when I saw the first images! I just couldn't believe that IS me! haha I would I still don't at times but that's because of how amazing his eye is '
