Willkommen Zurück Thiemo

If you don't recognize his cute little bottom, you might recognize his face.  I featured male model Thiemo earlier this year, (HERE:) featuring from his time on the German version of Naked Attraction.  Clearly Thiemo is comfortable being naked, and clearly audiences responded...

They responded so much so, that Thiemo is back in this seasons edition of Germany's Dating Naked.  Dating Naked is sort of like Love  Island, except of course the contestants are fully naked, all the time.  There's also a little less drama, but then again, I'm only one episode in.  If you actually want to see more of Thiemo fully naked, head on over to the NEXT PAGE HERE:

Blast from the Past: Anthony Jones in Party Girl


'The Party is just beginning! 


I have a bit of a love/hate thing with actress Parker Posey and her movies.  I usually love her films, but hate her characters.  I don't think that's because Posey is a bad actress, I think it's because she's so good.  One of my favorite all time movies is Best In Show, but she was so good at playing the annoying Meg, I found her scenes and story the least enjoyable in the ensemble comedy.


Maybe that love/hate thing is one of the reasons I never watched the 1995 comedy Party Girl.  It was one of those movies that I remember seeing on the shelves at Blockbuster so many times.  I often thought I should rent it, but always ended up just passing it by.  Maybe I should have given it a shot...


I wasn't aware that the party, and the movie, ends with a shot scene featuring a male stripper.  Credited only as 'stripper', actor Anthony Jones arrives in the films last ten minutes to strip down to his jock strap at a party for Parker's character Mary.  I would never even have known about the scene, if not for seeing a post on one of my favorite resources for the male form on film, the great AusCAPS site. 


I hadn't heard of Jones before, but he was adorkably hot, and just little dimwitted as the stripper who gets far too easily handcuffed to a pole by Posey.  For the last few minutes he must stand there in just his jockstrap as everyone else celebrates.  I couldn't find much out about the actor whose career has just 9 credits spanning through the 1990's and ending in 2010 with an appearance in Metal of Honor.  I'll keep looking to see if there are other scenes of note in his short career.    Video on SendSpace HERE:

Andrew Sky: He Can Leave His Hat On!


'If these United States can be called a body, then Kentucky can be called its heart.'
Jesse Stuart


People often stereotype people who wear hats, but like almost every trope out there, this are reasons behind it.  I grew up in a city, and the only headwear I wore were a helmet for hockey and a baseball cap, when I actually played baseball.  I hated wearing hats, and fought with my mother when she tried to force me to wear a toque before going out.  Every Christmas I'd get a new toque and always scowled and swore I'd never wear it. 


In my mid-twenties though, I moved to the country.  During my first trip back home, I stuffed all those multi-colored Christmas gifts toques in a bag, and took them back home with me.  Weather hits you differently in the country.  The wind is harsher, the wind is colder.  There are not office building and stores to block it from hitting you. 


When I lived in the city, a walk meant walking down streets and through neighborhoods.  In the country, it means nature trails, fields and often heading into or near the woods.  This means snow, rain and especially bird shit are far more likely to fall from the sky than when walking down a busy city street.  You get hit once in the head with bird shit in the woods, you'll remember to take your hat next time.


When I first moved to the country I took one winter hat.  Within a month, I need an almost entirely new wardrobe, focused on head wear, and feet wear.  I never owned a rain coat when I lived in the city, as well as the many different varieties of shoes and hats for every form of weather possible. 


I now have a selection of ball caps, toques and even a couple of newsboy hats for special occasions.  I don't wear them much, but one of my newsboy hats saved me during a cemetery visit when a wind and storm came through.


Andrew Sky love his many  hats, and is definitely a Kentucky boy trough and through.  If you check out his Twitter, (HERE:) you'll see he's often outside on the farm, in the woods, and even rolling around naked in the mud.  With those particular outside activities, a variety of hats are a definite necessity!   


Andrew often poses in ball caps, cowboy hats and fur trapper hats.  Although there a ton of pictures of Andrew both hatless and pantless, most of my favorite shots included Andrew, completely naked of course, donning a variety of chapeaus. 


Thanks to English singer Joe Cocker, and the movie The Full Monty, keeping a hat on has a strong nexus with the nude male form. The English singer knew what he was talking about, growing up in the rainy rural community of  Crookes, Sheffield in the UK.  We all also know, that regardless of which head the hat is covering, (as Andrew shows us below) eventually they are destined to come off.


I first discovered Andrew's images on Twitter, and was initially drawn to his outside self portraits.  The first shots I saw was Andrew outside, showing off both his spectacular body, and the spectacular rural landscapes of Kentucky.   Most of the world get to see a glimpse of Kentucky each year when the State hosts the Derby, but Andrew takes a more intimate look in more private places and spaces.
