'The more layers you put on, the more layers you can strip off.'
So many of us these days are wearing layers. We start with our socks, one, maybe two pairs. Next it's undies, then our long johns or sweat pants. They're then covered with our regular pair of chords, jeans or dress pants. Then it's time to tuck in our undershirt, followed by a t-shirt, then we pull on, then button up our dress shirt.
That's just inside, when we have, or dare to go out, there's an entire additional layer or two that must be added. We icing the cake with a togue, ear muffs a scarf and our gloves. All to walk the 12 feet to then scrape off, and warm up our car. I love winter days, but I don't love the layering. Most people who deal with winter weather know you can handle the cold with less layers, but if it's both cold and windy, the sub-zero temperatures gush right through.
Ever since being introduced to model Kings from Jim from
Studio1x, I've enjoyed discovering, and sharing new shoots and themes they've created together. Although Jim's focus is the nude male form, there's always been a piece of fashion that's provided the focus for each shoot. If you've seen my previous posts featuring Jim's shoots of Kings, (
HERE:) you know I've themed my posts around the wardrobe he strips off. His blue sweater, his wet t-shirt, his overalls and his incredibly hot, low hanging tool belt.
I love when fashion is woven artistically into a shoot, and Jim always does a magnificent job of beautifully utilizing, but not relying on the fashion pieces included. Jim knows the destination is naked, but getting there, can be half of the fun. The strip sets a sensual tone, one that if skillfully captured, has you scrolling more slowly, not more quickly, to get to the bottom.
For this hot reveal,
Kings peels of the plaid and his sweat pants, two of the layers of his wardrobe for winter. Of course no matter what you're doing in the winter, if it's freezing outside, the socks stay on. Whether you're just chilling, working out, or even having sex, those socks remain tightly in place. They only come off to shower or bath, and then a fresh pair is quickly slid back on.
These shots were taken when live Jim was living and shooing in the North West, not that's moved South, there are far few layers required. Although there have been a few nights, it dipped close to the freezing mark, but still not layer weather. That sadly means there are fewer models like Kings, arriving at the studio with multiple layers of clothing, that must be slowly and sensually pulled off.
'Kings has a great sense of humor and matched mine so there were many laughs. I always enjoy working with models that are very comfortable being nude and free with trying different artistic looks.'
