Meeting Mr. Wright


Jack Wright has been heating up TikTok for a few years, but I only discovered the 21-year-old hottie recently.  I avoided TikTok for awhile, but have since gone down the rabbit hole of cute kitty videos and dancing young hotties.  Jack Wright is one of those young hotties.  He loves to dance, often shirtless, Jack actually does a lot of things shirtless, many most of us wouldn't do with a shirt on.


His great body and head of blond hair are just the opening attraction.  His millions of followers also love his dancing, and having fun doing... well pretty  much everything and anything.  Jack also has a twin brother, but we don't see him much, not that I could see, on Jack's social media pages.


What we do see is lots of dancing, having fun, attending fashion week, traveling, and hanging out with friends.  We also see trips to the beach!  This of course lends itself for more shirtless shots, and even the odd, but really quick look, at a Wright full moon.  Many of those videos get posted, then quickly deleted, but if you're fast, you might catch a peak.



Shower Scenes...

Nothing like a shower scene, especially when it's place in the middle of mini-series produced and created by Ryan Murphy.  I wrote earlier that I hadn't had time to watch yet, but last night, made it up to episode three of Monsters on Netflix.  Although I'm struggling a bit with the story, and some of the issues focused on, I am impressed with the acting, and of course the scenes of male skin.

In episode three, Brother, Can you spare a dime, Lyle and Erik Menéndez have been arrested, so most of the scenes are in prison, awaiting getting bail, and for the first of their two trials to begin.  In this episode, Erik, (Cooper Koch) meets a friend in Tony over several really erotic, and well done scenes.

Tony is played by actor Brandon Santana, and sadly, according to IMDB, this is the only episode Santana appears in.  Too bad, he not only incredibly hot, he's also a stand out in the role.  The shower scene is really well done, both with acting and editing.  Yes, Koch is completely naked, but it's those looks between Erik and Tony that really push the sensually off the charts.  Even without the nudity, those looks were erotically mesmerizing. 

I hadn't heard or seen Santana before, but I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for future roles.  The Detroit born actor's been working steadily since 2019, with guest appearances on shows including; Grey's Anatomy, Home Economics, 9-1-1 and Hacks. I think it's time this talented actor got a series regular role!

Literary Lines: George by Xay Vang


The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been concealed by the answers.
James Baldwin


I love when imagery of the male form weaves together the arts..  Images combining; literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, music and cinema. So many of my favorite photographers incorporate sculpture, and some, including Robert J. Guttke, have incorporated numerous art forms within their work.


I am especially drawn to the use of literature, and the physical manifestation of books.  Although I've featured many literary themed shoots, a few specific shoots come to mind. Guttke, (HERE:) and Michael Puff, (HERE:) used stacks of book, and Richard Rothstien included a room full of books, (HERE:) as well as visual manifestation of a classic bard within his work. (HERE:)


It was through this lens, that I was drawn to this series featuring George by photographer Xay Vang.  I've been currently enjoying taking a deep dive into George's (Random Exposure) archives.  Although I've recently featured his work behind the camera, one of my favorite pieces, featured George's images, experiences and stories of being a nude life model. (HERE:) 

Although this certainly wasn't George's first time modeling nude, it was the first time George hired a photographer to capture him.  Previously, George's nude modeling had been for art students, and artists, inspiring George to strive to go to the next level of modeling and be shot by a fellow artist and photographer.


The location is the living room in George's home, with the large row of bookcases lining one wall between the two large windows and light sources.  I loved the way Xay captured George with the bookcase, not only posing in front of it, but interacting with it.  George shares that the bookcases were actually his wife's idea, and that she actually installed them herself.  

I found myself myself visually drawn not just to George, but to the books and art pieces on the shelves, including the sculptures and collection of wooden and ceramic birds.   Of course, I was also trying to identify specific books on the shelves, so had to ask George which editions were his favorites, and there any, he's picked up to read multiple times.


'I don’t often read the same book twice. But some exceptions would be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Confederacy of Dunces, The Monkey Wrench Gang. Poetry by Mary Oliver, Richard Wilbur, Theodore Roethke. And of course revisiting the over 200 photography books in my collection.'


In addition to posing naked in the room, and in front of the bookshelves, George has also used the location to shoot many of the models he's worked with over the years.  I know from the stats, FH readers enjoyed my recent post featuring George's work with Nolan. (HERE:)  So.... if you want to see more of George's bookshelves, and more of a naked Nolan, head on over to the NEXT PAGE HERE:
