Hazeled!
'Who's ready to get hazed?
If anyone is watching Canada's Drag Race, they've already been introduced to the naughty and incredibly sexy Hazel. I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just discovered last week, I've previously featured Hazel, (well, the hot body beneath the jewelry and glam) a few times before on the site. Check out the hottie in and out of his glitter and gowns on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Organic Chemistry
'The more they try to hide it, the hotter the flame'
Callan Porter, Benjamin Roy, William & Aidan Shaw 
I'm sure many have you have already caught the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry. I'm also guessing many of you have seen caps of the nude scenes. I hope you were able to watch the Crave version. The scenes were not as dark as on HBO, and there was a lot of Ilya's back story told through sub-titles that HBO seems to have omitted.
In addition to a stellar promotional team, which caused plenty of buzz even before airing, one of the reasons the is so hot is the organic chemistry between the two leads. Connor Storrie, (Ilya Rozanov) and Hudson Williams, (Shane Hollander) are electric, on screen and off. There is another set of hockey players, teammates, not rivals, who are heating up social media. If you haven't seen or felt the buzz, check out the NEXT PAGE HERE:
The Rainy Season: Antron by Bob Burkhart
'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain'
Vivian Greene
Most years, when Thanksgiving is over, I move into holiday and winter mode. Where I live in the East, the winter usually means cold temperatures and lots of snow. With climate change however, the winters and the falling moisture is becoming more wet than frozen. For many in fact, the winter is more the rainy season than snowy. From areas in the mid west to New England and Canada, along the west coast, especially Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, winter is really the rainy season.
For many, the rainy season is bearable because of what lies on the other side. Rain leads to clear skies and rainbows, rainy winters turn to spring. We all know that rainbows are all about hope, optimism, and joy, while spring, represents both beauty and rebirth.
Unfortunately, not everyone or everything makes through a rainstorm, or the rainy season. Sometimes, whether we like it or not, we have to embrace the rain and enjoy the moment we're in. Sometimes, we don't have the luxury of an awaiting spring ahead.
Learning to dance in the rain is something many of us have had to learn, and it's also something that resonated to me while enjoying these visuals of Antron from photographer Bob Burkhart. When Bob recently posted some of his images of Antron on Instagram, I was immedeately to drawn to their elegance and beauty. The pop of red from the umbrella, and Antron's poses and movement were like a dance arousing visuals of Gene Kelly from Singing in Rain.
Although Bob has previously used umbrella's as props, he shared that this was a different type shoot for him. Firstly, it's an older shoot with a model who didn't make through the rainy season. Sadly, Antron's life was cut off far too early. Whenever I feature a model who is gone, I'm am motivated to pay special care to celebrating their work. That wasn't hard with Bob's work with Antron. Bob captured such energy and beauty, and through his dance, Antron really seemed to embrace his time in the rain.
Secondly, three was an added level of appreciation for the work knowing the shoot almost didn't happen at all. Bob connected with Antron through Facebook, but initially thought he was communicating with someone else. Bob wasn't aware of who Antron was, or work, and through this confusion, thought he was planning a shoot with another model. Bob almost cancelled, and wasn't too excited for the shoot, but ended up deciding to go forward.
When they met for the shoot, Bob wasn't even sure Antron had modeled before, or was comfortable shooting nudes. Antron shared with Bob that he was an 'aspiring model' and was looking for new work for his portfolio. As you can see, regardless of his lack of experience, Antron knew how to pose, and move in front of the camera.
'Antron was very expressive and needed little direction. I just followed him with my camera… he was very creative. '
Although Antron wasn't able to see the sun after the rainy season, I think in a beautiful way, these images are like a rainbow. Although he's no longer here, these moments remain with their color and light a celebration of Antron's life and spirit. Bob has forever captured his beauty and energy to be shared as a tribute with anyone who views his visuals.
'I think my favorite part about working with Antron was that I loved how he embraced the idea of the shoot. He was so eager to work. Given that I initially thought he was someone else, I was thrilled with the results!'

Peek-a-pube! There are Stranger Things than an old shirtless photo going viral the week the new season of your show comes out!
Shark Bait
So hockey players #2, Will Smith and # 7, Macklin Celebrini both play center for the San Jose Sharks, and if you've ben on social media of late, I'm guessing you know who they are. Both are adorable, and although they're just friends, they're chemistry has lit a fire under many who speculate they're much more than friends.
Truth is, that's probably just wishful thinking, but the two cuties are often seen and photographed together. They seen laughing, smiling at each other, whispering to each other, hugging and just having fun. I'm sure it's platonic, but given they're also roommates when on the road, those with fan-fiction like imaginations, can't hope for a wee bit more.
My guess is they are just good friends, but they also seem to have a great bond that is fun to watch. I'm not sure that anyone would care if they weren't so hot, and looked so physically similar and compatible. Regardless of the details of their bond, it's refreshing to see two athletes so genuinely enjoy hanging out together. Hockey players work under a lot of stress, and we're so used to seeing the 'angry' player, on television and hearing stories of fights and rivalries.
20 year old Smith certainly has the face card! He has an adorable grin and a beautiful face. It's also hot that his cheeks turn rosy during most of his interviews.
Although I couldn't find any shirtless shots of Smith, 19 year old Macklin has shared a few shirtless shots on his Instagram. He's also done a few post-game interviews without his shark's jersey.
A Diva Delamed!
'I'm going to give it to you Raw Canada. Raw emotions, raw talent, and maybe if you're lucky, raw one day.'
I have never watched a season of Drag Race before. Not sure why, I'm a champion of the Drag community and love spotlighting drag performers on the blog. That changed this month with the start of Canada's Drag Race season 6. My inspiration to watch wasn't about the fashions or drama, it was a little more carnally induced...
I've been following Canadian diver Aidan Faminoff on social media for close to 8 years now, and have previously featured him several times on the site. (HERE:) I followed him on Instagram after reading a great interview on-line. In addition to relating to his story, it didn't hurt that Aiden also frequently post images of himself having fun wearing teeny tiny speedos!
Although I don't think Aiden's alter Hazel was fully formed back then, you could see the energy, zest and naughty nature that has become such a big part of her persona. I'm not sure what the appropriate etiquette for salivating over a drag queen when they're not in glitter and gowns, but I know I'm not the only one who wants to peel off Hazel's glamourous garments to see more of Aiden's anatomy.
If you follow Hazel on Twitter, you may have seen her post a few old images from Aiden's diving days. (HERE:) There was a huge response from Hazel's followers having her respond by posting; 'Okay noted, post more photos out of drag.'
If you're able to watch Canada's Drag Race, they've only aired two episodes, so there's plenty of time to catch up and get into it. If you're in Canada you can watch on Crave. If you're in the US, you can catch it on Wow Presents plus.
